"Illenton, Thompson's Island, Ma,
II, 1898.
We have Just returned from mos
fatiguing cruize, bnt have not time Il
enter into all the details. 1t has resul
ted in the capture of the piraticai schoon
er Pilot, and feIucca by the schooner
and barges under Captain Cassin--ths
burning of three piratical schooners III
consequence Of our approach) BY tn
pirates-the burning by our boats OF on
vessel on the stocks, and about doze1
of houses in different piraticl establish
ments under the Colorado Reef, and tn
complete breaking ZIP and dispersion o
all the piratical gangs on this side OF tn
Island. 1t is not believed that singl
pirate is to be found aAoat between
Point Ycacos and Cape Antonio but tn
interior of the Island is much infested b
them. Large bands of them were royin'
about the country near Matanzas wheI
we were last there, plunderlng planta
tons and murdering the inhabitants
A considerable body of Cavalry was sen
out after them and brought in five pri
soners. The militia were also unde
arms dnd securing the country
The Pirates are well manned ant
well armed, and I think it likely vii
gve the inhabitants of the Island mucl
trouble but as the euit is no'o broa gh
home to them, think the authorities viii
feel it incumbent on them to use every
means in theft power for their suppress
sion.
Itappears that the two Spanish Am
bassadors in London. the Due de Sar
Lorenzo and Admiral lsbat. have giver
up to the public service Of Spain, no
only the whole of the income assigned
them as ambassadors, but the profits o
all the offices of every kind which they
hold from the Spanish government.
