The Outlook for the Insurgents.
General Weyler has made known to his
government his purpose of making a vigor-
pus warfare on the insurgents soon after the
arrival of reinforcements, and seems
dent that before the close of autumn he will
have the battle won. Among military men
it seems remarkable that the Insurgents,
with their inferior force poorly armed, fed
aud equipped, should stand so long against a
modern army like Spain's, and they cannot
foresee victory for the followars of Maceo
and Gomez when the additional troops reach
Havana and begin active operations. At no
time has the Insurgent army been hall the
