Our men were never lmbuid with a more hopeful trt than they nre at present. The campaign In Ia Villa has been an uttor failure. Th Spanish sol- tllers avoided us at everj- possible oppor tunity. .This seemed to encourago our men. If Weyler be recalled, his sue censor here, whoever he may be. will he surprised to see the spirit of victory which animates the brave Cubun trorps.
