HAVANA, July Gen. weyler Is trying to
arouse the hopes of the Spaniards in the ulti-
mate triumph of his campaign not only by ad-
vertlsing the scientific character of his now
plans, but also by persistently asserting that
the Cubans are divided into two factions which
are bitterly lighting one another, and also that
the United States, far from interfering in favor
of the revolutionists, will help the Spanish Gov
ernment more and more TO prevent the landing
in Cuba of flibustering expeditions.
To these ends Gen. Weyler employs in Havana

itself a Republican organ and yet enthusiastic

and the partisans of Garcia, and the Junta at
them"
In the same newspaper Gen. Weyler says
