for constant forcing eastward with rear
headquarters in this city are proving very
effective, and that the insurgents are
rapidly losing all the ground which they
have gained in the direction of the
capital
simultaneously with the opening OF the
direct campaign strict regime has been
introduced IN regard to the mutinous
spirit shown by the soldiers of the gar
risons and the Spanish citizens who decry
the efforts of the army in their attempts to
put stop to the war.
A private letter from an American plan
ter to the Herald states as yet no damage
tone of both the Spanish and insurgents
toward all American planters is most
conciliatory one. Bands of guerrillas have
occasioned some damage, but their actions
cannot be laid at the door of the insur-
gents, as all culprits caught in the act of
firing the plantations are severely pun
ished.
In his last report to the Spanish home
Government it is understood that General
Campos brought this spreading feeling
prominently to the notice of the author
tiles of the War Department, and that the
stringent methods taken are the result OF
an order from them. AT all events it is a
risky matter now for person to make any
casual remarks concerning the army or the
administration of affairs, trial and i'm

his chief mate. Jens P. Petersen, and his
second mate, III. Jonansen, were arrested
this morning on warrant issued by
United States Commissioner Bell, charg-
ing violation of the neutrality laws under
section $3.50 of the Revised Statutes. Bail

ever, until after the hearing tomorrow
morning. A number of the crew have
been subpenaed as witnesses and will
probably be detained.
The Danish Consul, J. 81. Wallem, at

The captain and his men all declared that
| the vessel went direct to her destination,
Port Antony, and no men or munitions of
war were taken on board or landed at any
place."
When asked if the Spanish Consul was
satisfied with the result of the examina-
ton he said he did not know. He was
evidently not satisfied, however, as it was
after the hearing that the warrants for the
arrest of Captain Wiberg and Mates Peder
sen and Johansen were issued.
PHILADELPHIA Pa, Nov. 28.-The
warrant was given to Deputy Marshal
Myers, who made the arrest on board the
Horsa. The newspaper representatives
were not admitted on board the vessel or
was lying, but according to the statement
of the captain, as recounted to the re-
porters by Assistant District Attorney
Kerr, who is acting as counsel for the ar
rested men, Captain Wiberg demanded if
the warrant was signed by the Danish
Consul. To this the deputy replied, "No."
Don't you know that this deck is Dan
ish soil" asked Captain Wiberg, land you
have no right to take me off this ship?"
"I'll take you dead or alive" replied the
deputy.
At this juncture the captain ordered the
Danish flag hoisted on the Horsa, and
when the national colors under which the
vessel sails were up he advanced toward
the deputy.
"You propose to take me deao or alive ?"
he asked.

"Well, if it is question of force" SAID
Captain Wiberg, land you insist on serv-
ing this warrant and arresting me, l will

will have to suffer for this outrage"
The captain was then arrested. Captain
Kerr, counsel for the accused men, indl-
Gated both by his manner and speech that
some one would be called to account for
the arrest and detention of the men.
at is a serious thing" said he, "to ar
rest man, and DR.. Congosta's position as
Spanish Consul will not prevent his being
made to answer for this outrage to the full
extent of the law. To assert as he did,
that the captain and his officers prepared
and set on foot a military expedition
against the Spanish Government, and that
they did it within the jurisdiction of the
United States, is one thing, but to SUBJ
stantiate it is another, and he has not the
slightest proof for his assertion"
Captain Kerr said that the hearing had
been fixed for tomorrow, SO that the crew
would be present, and that an effort would
be made to dispose of the case tomorrow
SO that the crew need not be detained.
