Crew Of the Three Friends Fear the
Laws Against Piracy.
New York, Dec. pa special to The
World from Key West, Fla, says: The
Lone Star company, of the patriotic
army Of west Cuba, consisting Of if
teen Texas sharpshooters. persisted to q
man after battling more than five hours
against vastly superior Spanish forces
in Pinar del Rio province. killing double
their own number and wounding prob
ably as many more. Havana officials
are 3ubilant, passengers arriving here
say, over the news Of the victory. A
Cuban band was observed near Pinar
del Rio city last Thursday morning.
and General Melquizo sent two sqaud-
rons of cavalry to attack it. After a
running fight the band, which proved
to be composed of fifteen Texans, was
chased into a bottle" a bit Of hum
mock having only one opening. The
retreated to the farther end and for
titled themselves hastily behind some
big boulders.
Would Die but Not Surrender.
The Spanish troops dismounted and
surrounded them, pouring in a fire from
all sides. The brave Texans replied and
kept up the fight for more than five
hours. BY that time six of the fifteen
had been killed and four were wounded,
while twenty-five Spaniards had bitten
the dust with ten or more wounded. A
flag of truce was sent in by the Spanish
and the Texans were called on to sur
render. but the Americans refused with
one accord to lay down their arms.
shouting: I'VE remember Maceo" This
Infatuated the Spanish and they fought
with renewed fierceness. Twice they
charged, but the rapid firing of the
brave little band drove them back.
Two Survivors Cut to Pieces.
BY getting on high ridge behind the
Texans position the Spaniards were en-
abled to pour in a fire that killed all but
two of those left. Those two calamity
continued to fight and held off the enc
my an hour longer. Then, overcome by
thirst and enfeebled by loss of blood
flowing from a dozen wounds, they
were cut to pieces by the Spaniards,
who finally dashed up as the Texans
fell exhausted, feebly crying: Viva
Cuba Libre."

Spain for Piracy.
jacksonville, Fla, Dec. ga special
to The Citizen from Tampa says: The
developments in Cuban circles yester-
day were startling, and the actors in
the recent alleged sea tragedy who were
on board the Three Friends are badly
frightened over the gravity of the sit
uation in which they have oeen in
volved. They find themselves, instead
of being in a dangerous position as
filibusters. to be in the unenviable posi-
ton of pirates, and the wisest Cuban
heads have been summoned in consulta-
ton. Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Scott Wike was at Key West in
vestigating the matter. but the absence
of a district attorney at that place
made detention a farce. Wike stopped
at Jacksonville Saturday afternoon and
censured the district attorney there for
having no representative at Key West.
He arrived here yesterday morning and
went into consultation with the COL
1ector Of customs.
The affair presents the following
aspect now: No denial has been made
Of the naval battle story by officials

was admission. In that case Spain may
make requisition upon this government
for the persons who We're aboard, and
this government has no alternative but
their delivery. Wike is to leave today
on the cutter Forward for Key West,
where the fullest possible details of the
serious situation will be obtained. When
the Olivette arrived yesterday after
noon Colonel Emilio Nunez Garlic and
several other Cubars We're on board.
Captain OBrien, of the Three Friends
also was passenger. Colonel Nunez
admitted that the story of the engage
ment was true, and appeared particu-
larry proud. He had been the custodian
OF all the recent expeditions.
When they learned of Assistant Sec
rotary Wilkes presence the boastins
changed to CONSERVATION. as the light
in which they were regarded dawned
upon them. The admission by Colonel
NuneZ and the non-denial of O'Brien
is regarded as substantiating the story
of the fight. Other passengers besides
Nunez confirm the story. 1t is also
learned that the arms of the expedi-
tion fell into Spanish hands.
