EXPEDITIONS ARRIVED
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Jan. 2s.-A report
that three vessels were fitted out in the in.
terest of Cuban insurgents on the Long Isl
and coast, as given in an evening paper
here, is correct as far as could be ascer-
tained tonight. 1t is stated hat the vessels
have reached Cuba in safety.
HIGH-HANDED ACTION
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 2s.-A special to a
local paper from Key West, Fla, says:
"Advices received here from Havana in
dicate that since the resignation of Mar
tnez de Campos the Spanish authorities
are acting in high-handed manner to-
ward American citizens suspected of being
in sympathy with the insurgents. he
Gently Henry Riso, who claims to be a
naturalized citizen of the United States,
was arrested at Puerto Principe as polit-
ical suspect. He was thrown into
dungeon, although proclaming his
American citizenship. His request that
Consul-General Williams be informed of
his plight was denied and when the last
steamer left for Centa, the Spanish penal
settlement in Africa, Riso was placed on
board. The unfortunate man attempted
to make scene as he was placed on the
vessel, but he was knocked down by the
Spanish guards and hurried below decks.
Riso had no trial, but it is understood the
authorities ordered him confined at Centa
for life. TRANSPORTATION to Centa now
means death, as cholera is raging there"
Ell Comercio, in an editorial, says
"Marin is too tender with the Yankees.
Every one of them at all implicated in the
with. But for American money and
American sympathy there would be no
revolution and the Yankees have no right
to expect mercy from Spain"
Financiers in Havana are evidently fear.
full about the outcome of the war, for they
are shipping large sums of silver and gold
by every steamer that leaves for New York.
Upman & Co., who represent the Roth
schilds. are taking the lead in these ship
ments.
at is understood that Upman e. Co.,
have informed the Roth schilds that money
is no longer safe in Havana. 1t is said
that they are acting under orders from the
Rothschilds, who have declined the new
Spanish loan on the ground that Cuba is
lost to the Madrid government.
INSURGENTS MOVEMENTS
HAVANA, Jan. 2S.-General Maxine
Gomez has passed the village of Salud,
going west, apparently to the assistance of
General Antonio Maceo.
The columns of troops commanded by
Colonas Linares and Aldecoa yesterday
morning followed Gomez's forces in the
direction of Seborucal. Arriving at Mount
Trujillo they heard firing between the in
surgents and the column of Spanish troops
which had previously left Gunajay.
Maceo's position continues to be regarded
here as critical, and it is considered certain
that Gomez's attempt to march west is for
the purpose of succoring him. Spanish
columns pursue Gomez closely and harrass
his forces, compelling them to fight daily,
and it is claimed that they are becoming
demOraliZed.
