CUBA,

In spite of the assertions of Gen.
Weyler to the contrary the war in
Cuba still goes on. Several months
ago Weyler was claiming that he
uuieted the rebels in the Pinar del
Rio district and would soon have the
army under the command of Gen.
Gomez cornered up where it could do
no harm, and yet we are constantly
reading of engagements, in which the
rebels appear TO be holding up well,
in those districts which Weyler claims
to have subjugated, and of Weyler
himself at present we hear scarcely
nothing; he has been constantly tel
ling that he wanted only a few weeks
more to bring the island under his
thumb but this story appears to at
last have become old even to the
Spanish sympathizers. III.
The Cameron resolution in Con-
gress is probably dead and every one
is waiting to see what position the in
coming president win take in regard
to the Cuban affairs. Stories are
constantly being circulated of great
reforms that the Spanish. government
has at last decided to give the Gu
bans as soon as they can get them un-
der subsection so it will not appear
that they were forced to grant these;
but when will this time come? The
Cubans win never place any confid-
ence in the word of the Spanish Of
ficials unless they are guaranteed by
this government that the promised
reforms are to be carried out, and
even then it is doubtful if, when they
are apparently so near gaining their
independence, they will accept any
thing short of it, The Cuban leaders
believe, and doubtless it is true, that
The resources of Spain are nearing
the point when she she cannot main
tain armies and vessels. there at the
present rates of expense and when
that time comes there is nothing for
her to do but give up to the newt
able and withdraw her armies from
the island. They think that if they
accept the reforms that they will
have a large of the war debt shoulder
ed on to them and without this the
present conditions of things on the
island it will take many years of the
best possible management of affairs
to bring anything like prosperous
times to the devastated island.
