Coscorro, an Important Point to
the Spaniards, Destroyed
by Insurgents.

NEW YORK, Sept. ga dispatch to
The World from Key West, Fla, says a
letter was received from Havana by the
steamer Mascotte, containing the infor-
nation that the Spanish authorities are
plotting the destruct iOn of Key West.
A similar report reached here several
days ago, but at the time it was not
generally believed. The letter was
written by a Cuban in Havana to
friend in this city. The writer says
that few days ago he went to the gov
eminent office in Havana and was III
formed by a friend employed there that
the Spanish authorities had undetermined
to burn Key West and annihilate that
nest Of insurgent snakes The plan Of
the Spanish is to send emissaries to Key
West i'll the guise Of Cuban sympathiz~
ers, who are to fire the city III as many
places as possible when opportunity
arrives.
Wey1cr Knows and Approves.
It is said shat Captain General Wey-
Fer is cognizant of the plan and ap-
proves Of it. He is reported to have said
that if Key West and Tampa were laid
in ashes he would soon be able to settle
the rebellion. It is said that in the event
Of the success Of the plot, Weyler has
ordered that the emissaries be paid
$4,000.
The people here are SO wrought up
that 1T is feared all attack may be made
on Senior Cruz, the Spanish consul, and
his assistant, Senior Fernandez. It was
reported here that these gentlemen, be-
coming alarmed for their safety, had
gone aboard the United States revenue
cutter Winona and demanded protec-
ton, and that they were told to- remain
on the vessel until the excitement died

date Of Aug. &c.
Coscorro is in ruins, and another step
has been taken towards the ultimate
expulsion Of the Spanish troops from
Cuba. The forces Of Rosa and Pena
have laid waste the entire heart Of the
town, leaving the occupants Of the forts
in a precarious position. The inmates
Of Coscorro's forts are now in a pretty
bad way, no food of any kind being al
lowed to enter the place. Coscorro is a
small place, but important from the
fact that it was relay station for
troops marching between the cities of
Puerto Principe and Guaymarc.
