A CRUEL JOKE
PERPETRATED BY A CORRESPONDENTS
 REPORT uNFOuIVOCALIY DENIED

PERPETRATED BY CORRESPONDENT
 REPORT UNEQUIvoCALLY DENIED.
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 4.-The dis patch from New York stating that the sloop Robinson Crusoe had been sighted off Key West is not true.
 The Times Union's Key West corre- spondent has just wired that nothing has been seen of the sloop in those waters. Dispatches from Fort Myers and Punta Gordo, at which the sloop might have touched, also state that nothing has been seon of her.
 Still there is no alarm at Palm Beach, whence the sloop sailed, about her and MesRrs. Zsigler and Wells, with the Brook lyn men on board. There never would have been any anxiety here haden special correspondents perpetrated a cruel joke for what there was in it. The sloopis cruising somewhere among the Florida keys, and those on board are having a good lime without doubt.
 The Times Union tonight received the following from Palm Beach:
 "The story of the Robinson Crusoe being lost is fake of the silliest kind, sent from here by the correspondent of a Jackson vile paper, based on nothing whatever. It is considered an outrage here. The Times U nion correspondent has just heard from all points between here and Biscayne bay, Key Largo, etc., and there is abso- lutely ground for the story.

 "NEw YORK, April 4.-Antonio and Jose Maceo, Flor Crombet, Cebreceo, Co., rono and eighteen men landed happily in Cuba"
 The five first named were distinguished military leaders of the last revolution and three of them have been exiles ever since.
 The explanation given by the Spanish government of the conduct of her cruiser in firing on the Alianca was that General Maceo, who had just landed with party, was on board. The Cuban leaders here assert that the patriots made a demonstra- ton at Puerto del Padre for the purpose of attracting Spanish troops so that the land- ing of the party might be successful.
 Senor Andrew, editor of La Discussion, has been imprisoned by the Spanish gov ernment for printing information favorable to the patriots.
 La Lucha and other papers received by tonight's steamer declare the news pub ished in the New York Herald to be false, but in other paragraphs admit that Gen. eral Guillermon IS not dead and several other things which the government at first denounced as untrue. The same authori- ties state that overtures made to Miro and other insurgent leaders to accept the terms of peace offered by the government have been stoutly rejected.
 The Sixth battalion of Spanish troops have arrived from Spain. Laborers on the sugar plantations have gone on a strike and only few are working.
