WASHINGTON



WASHINGTON, July 3.-Private dis
patches have just been received from
Key West, Florida, Of the reported
burning Of the steamer Fannie, of the
coast of Cuba. The sender Of the dis
patch processes to have been one OF
General Ryan's party. He says the
entire cargo OF the Fannie, together
with Rysn's party, were safely landed
and succeeded in reaching a point OF
safety, even before the Spsnisrds were
aware of their being on the coast. The
present Whereabouts of tbSFannie is
not mentioned. It's however suspect
ed that the Fannie has joined the
Pioneer and that the two vessels will
cruise together, as it 10 known the
Fannie carried with her several guns to
be mounted when she reached place
of safety.
