SPANISH IRQOPs S1ARYlNc.

General WeYler's fortune of $1O,OOO,-
600 which he is said to have deposited in
the banks of Pars and London was
made through his becoming his own con-
tractor for the supply and transporta-
tion Of the Spanish troops in Cuba.
Some of the results of this enterprise and
thrift on the part of the ex butcher are
now visible throughout the Spanish lines
and are graphically described by staff
correspondent of the New York Herald, a
paper always and constantly friendly to
Spain and inimical to the Cuban cause.
However, in matters of news the Herald
sometimes tells the truth against its own
policy and interests, and thus becomes, as
on the present occasion, valuable wit
ness for the prosecution.
The Herald correspondent has been
making the rounds Of the Spanish lines
10 Havana province, in company with
detective from the palace, who has orders
only to let him see the bright side of
things. Nevertheless, he did manage to
see good many that had no bright eide.
He relates that the Spanish soldiers have
been without pay for months. They are
without cash or credit, and actually are
starving because their commisssriat also
is without money or credit, and Marsha,
Blanco is unable to furnish either.
the Herald man declares, that the So
called Spanish forts are hospitals, filled
with the fever-stricken, shivering ghosts
of those who are supposed to garrison
them. He says, that in none of the towns
within 25 miles of Havana could Blanco
muster enough men sble to march five
miles and then engage an ordinary bat
talon of the patriot army. The Spanish
soldiers are lying down by the roadsides
and dying by hundreds of disease, destitu-
tion and hunger.
These facts are important, as indicating
how little chance there is that the Cuban
republic voluntarily will lay down it's arms
before an enemy rs bankrupt and hope
lessly incapable of serious military opera
tions in the country as even the pro-
Spanish press represents the case to be.
They also suggest the foolishness of the
plea that Spain ought to have more time
given in which to reconquer the country.
More time for whati To let starve an
