I ft.—Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, son of the late Lord Randolph Churchill, cousin of the duke of Marlborough, and second lieutenant in the Fourth hussars(England).hasarrived in this city from Cuba, where he has been watching' the operations of the belligerent forces for the last eight weeks. Mr. Churchill was seen by a reporter and emphatically denied all the rumors about the political significance of his trip. He said that he had simply been in search of pastime and pleasure, and that he had had many interesting experiences in the south. “What is your opinion of the situation?" “I think that owing to the nature of the country the Spanish have before them a very difficult task in the suppression of the rebellion. Although I believe them to be brave and energetic. I do not think that there is sufficient combination in the movement of their several columns to catch the insurgents or inflict upon them serious defeat.*’ <••••* "The situation, at present, is as it has been since the outbreak of hostilities. There have been no decisive battles fought and won on either side. And let me say right here that the-re-ported engagements as published in the foreign papers have been misleading in every respect. At every battle a few men are killed on both sides, but the problem is no nearer solution. "If when the spring rains set in Spain is in the same position that she is now the probabilities are that the insurgents will win. Owing to the abominable condition of the roods in spring and summer, it will be unposse ble for the Spanish to move their troops, and with the losses which must , ensue from heat and pestilence, it would look as though they would have to eventually withdraw.” THE WAR IN CUBA.
