Fla., March 13 Very little news has
reached Havana, cf what has occurred
in the Philippines. Local papeis
have" received long telegrams but
their publication have been prohibited
by the censor. He' only allowed the
news of Polavieja's resignation on the
plea of sickness and this has, caused
a great sensation amongst the Span
iards, all disbelieving the story and
attributing it either to ihe fact that he
has been defeated in front qf -Cavite-,
that the Spaniards; have actually been
expelled from the island.,: ''The Span
iards feel despondent and more so
whenit is knovvir, that Spain, being
unable to send more reinforcemehts
to the Phillippines or unwilling to
send the regular, troops stationed in
Spain to hold the Carlists or Repub
licans in check, has decided to with
draw 20.000 or 25,000 troops from
Cubt, and under the pretext that
they are sick and) disabled, in order
not to call attention of either the
Spaniard or the insurgents they will
be sent back to Spain at once.
Weyler has agreed to the scheme
and this explains 1 the reason of 'his,
recent orders calling to the volunteer
ranks all the able-bodied men willing
to join them, in order to fill the gaps
left by the troops which are to be
sent to Spain. People here consider
this measure as Spain's first confes

finish the Cuban revolution and a
preliminary step to the final abandon
