HAVANA. Cuba. Aug. 17-Capt.
Weylcrs summer campaign has just come to
an inglorious end. He returned to this city,
with rebels firing on his rear guard all the
way from Agua'ate to Havana. The cap
tain general made a public entry into the
capital. but his reception was chilly. He
cabled his resignation to Madrid.
and was told to remain in Cuba
50 long as the present ministry holds power.
The captain-general who succeeds Gen.
Weyler will have a nard task. The splendid
force of 100000 men Spain placed in Gen.
Weylers hands is now only tattered
remnant. A tropical sun has proved more
destructive than battles. With the eXcep-
tion Of the fortunate ones stationed in and
about Havana. Spanish soldiers are in bad
way They have not received their pay for
months they are weak from illness and poor
feeding. they are badly clothed and many
have no shoes. Their credit is exhausted.
and traiespeople will furnish supplies
only under actual force. In short the Span
ish army in Cuba is not inclined and not in a
position to take the offensive. The garrisons
of all inferior towns are being Withdrawn
and sent to larger towns on the seacoast.
Even these latter are not safe from
rebel attacks. Guantanamo. a strongly
fortified seaport in Santiago, was en-
tered by rebels on Aug. 4. The insur
gents numbered 200 and were under COM
mand of Lateral and Savon. They raidei
stores. the city hall and the city Jail. They
went to the wharves and unloaied a vessel
that had ammunition for them, and then
they remained in the town for five hours.
Only few shots were exchanged. and not
man was killed. No houses were burned.

founded, but unless the stay-at homes
