Gresham has received u. letter from the
United States consul general at Havana
dated April ~, forwarding a copy of the
proclamation issued April - by the gov
ernor general of Cuba declaring the
province of Santiago dc Cuba in n state
of siege. The reason given for the
declaration is that some bands of men

mcnt in the hamlcts of PurniO and Velas-
60. near the north coast of that province,
for immediate suppression of which active
military means are now being taken by
the government. The consul general SAYS

rumor gives their number all the way
from 500 to 200 men This letter was the
first official information received by the
state department with regard 10 the
Cuban trouble. Secretary Gresham said
this morning that no kilograms had come
to him to-day and, in fact, he was
ignorant officially, Of any outbreak what
ever. lie had not even been advised Of
the reported surrender of the insurgent
bands asgiven in the press dispatches.
FHrBUsTERING RUMoRs.
The Spanish legation here keeps the
closet watch upon all filibustefing move
ments and never fails 10 give proper
warning to the state department when
anything more serious Is = actually in
progress than Cuban tunta pronuncia-
mentos or the speeches of Senor Marti
No complaint has been made to the state
department for many months by the
Spanish legation of contemplated viola
tions of the neutrality laws in the United
States. The commander of the revenue
cutter McLanc, stationed off the Florida
coast, is under general and specific
orders to promptly advise the
treasury department, under whose
control the revenue marine
service is placed, Of any danger of viola
tiOn of the neutrality laws by flibustcr-
ing expeditions, and TO take immediate
measures for the repression of any such
movement without waiting for instruc-
tions and reporting his action to the de-
partment No report Of any contemplated
hibustering expedition has been received
from the commander Of the McLane, and
1t is therefore inferred by the revenue
marine officials that no movement of the
kind bas ever been in serious contempla-
tion. dispatches from Key West to the
