Weyler is afraid to leave Havana
with any considerable show of an ar
my, least his return without accomp-
fishing anything should attract notice.
He therefore sends out his army in
squads to rendezvous without the
city and when all are assembled he
sneaks out with small command.
This is very suggestive of the straits
into which he has been crowded by
the insurgents. He is not all fool,
however, and is not doing much this
feverish weather. He lies by and
rests.

1t is charged against Consul
General Lee that he is growing very
slack in his attention to the needs of
Americans in Cuba, that his reports
on the Miss Cisneros case are such as
to favor the Spanish side of the case
and that Weyler holds him in much
higher regard than formerly. This
last is the worst of all. United States
has no use for a consul whom Weyler
approves. ...
