TIP TO TIIfl CUflANS.
"Thoo Who believe that part of the Amen-

paiil or friendship to the insurgents are
mistaken. They at4c it because they be-
hove that the intereet of Americans would

ligeroncy recognized , the Insurgents cu1d
not destroy the IIands , as they are now
doing. I , as consul , wotild ho the flnt to

glorious thing for my government and give

you that the relations between Spain and

The Interviewer asked General Leo : "Is ;
it true that ti intend to have comniunl-
cntion 'with tile Insurgents ? " General Lee
enilleti and said : ' 'I tlon't know yet. "

terest In thin field. ho is very fearless and
iia been very popular with the Spanish
officers. This is the ninth timejie has been
arrested , but It hi the first time a Spanish
olhlcer has sent him to Moro castle.
\VL'YLEII'S SIGNIFICANT WORDS.
NotwithstandIng the reluctance of the
American government to recognize that 'a
state of war exIsts here , General Weyler
and the Madrid government eceni to roe-
ognlzo it. In denying General Bradley T.
Joiiiie'on permlxslan t vIat Dawley In Moro
castle yesterday , tim captain general used
these significant words : "Uiider Spanish
iaws no foreigner 'cati enter a Spanish fort-
mesa in time of war. " 'rho words are much
commented on in havana. They are cam-
iiiendetl to the coneidemation of r. Olney.
Another ( aet of much interest here Is the
action of thin Madrid government in eending
a note to the powers complaIning of the al.
legod USe of explosive bullets by tile rebels.
Why , since no war exists , and the rebel
gpvcrnmont Is not recognIzed as a behhlger-
ent power , should Spain tb this ? It Is
customary for a government iiot only to
avoid bringing Its domestic concerns to the
attention of foreign powers , but even to
resent any notice taken by other govern-
iionts of Its ( ioinestlc troubles. Tile fact
Is , that war hero Is so palpable , and it 'ox-
. lsth In such awful form , that the sophistries
and web spinning of voliticlans seem a
crime.
Tue World's Madrid dispatches , confirena-
tory of the story of General Wcyler's ro-
tlrememit , have excited renewed Interest in
the reports. InvestigatIon brings belief in
its probable truth. General Woyier's position -
tion Is not comfortable. Ho line beeii
hampered by diplomacy , insumclent military
forces and criticism of his civil and miii-
tary pOlIcies. Diplomatic agents have been
sent , hero from 'V'ashington and It is said
W'eyicr resents it. lIe was put out by the
interference of Madrid In tile Competitor
case and the more recent case of the to.
bacco edict. FrictIon and jealously in the
palace ara commonly reported. It Is known
that seine omcera here would welcome a
change in the supreme command , but while
it seenis to be true that a change Is itupenti.
ing , it Is not likely to come at once , On
good authority It is said that it may not
ho made for two months.
MOVEMENTS OF TIlE REBELS.
The milItary situation remains confused.
The recent movements of Macco and Gothcz
are not clearly understood. Macco seems
to have retired to the hills between l3ahla
ilonda anti Candelania , while Gomea is said
to have settled down In the vicinity of the
capo to tile north of l'uerta Principe City.
Gomnez seems to have made a rapid move-
meat through I'uerta Pnineipe and Santa
Clara into Matanzaa anti then retired , At
one tlnio , no doubt , lila movements gave the
Spanish much concern , The rebei bands
from the cast continue moving into the
western provinces , but the gcnerai move-
meitt Is not now so marked. It is thin corn-
mon belief that the recent activity 'tvas
only port of the strategic policy of Goinez ,
who seems to be constantly striving to wear
out the enemy by forays and harassmOnt ,
which keep the Spanish in constant but
fruitless action.
Time rebels In Matanzas are snaking raIlroad -
road travel Impossible. Trains are dynamited -
mited almost daily. Yesterday reports of
( our or five train wrecks and attempted
train wrecking on thin United raiiway In

ho caid lie had heard no one talked of by

malta a square issue with thin 16 to 1 demo-
