to intercept the Three Friends If pos
sible. Every effort will thus be made to
catch the little flibuster, which succeeded
in getting away with its cargo, despite
the vigilance of the government officials
and Spanish spies. This was done by
using the Commodore as decoy, the Ca
bans giving it out that all OF the pre-
parations being made were to send the
Commodore with a cargo of arms and am
munition to Cuba. The Commodore lay
at its wharf to-day and no attempt was
made to clear from the custom-house.
Ine actual cargo carried by the Three
Friends was follows: Four hundred
thousand rounds of ammunition, 1.O4O
rifles, ] twelve pound Hotchkiss gun.
200 machettes, 1000 pounds of dynamite,
beside a quantity of medicine, provisions

General Maceo wrote:
Rivera is not only brave, tireless and
indomitable, but he is great tactician.
He is a thorough soldier and has had
military advantages enjoyed by few of
the men in my command. lie knows the
map of Cuba as well as the Oldest guide
and can hold Pinar del Rio against the
Spanish army for ten years if necessary.
His ideas Of mountain fighting have al
ways met with my cordial approval and
in many instances where nc has been
compelled to think and acr for himself
he has shown coolness, 4 wisdom and
a strategic talent, even superior to my
own. On several OCCASIONS he has con-
verted defeat into victory. In others,
when it looked as If he and small force
were absolutely shut in by large army,
he has escaped without losing a man.
In establishing his post he has picked
out invariably positions that were almost
inlpregnable and which at the same time
permitted him an avenue of escape in case

In storing and concealing munitions
of war and camp equipments he has
shown a eunningness that at times has

He had great record in the ten
years war and since that time has con-
tinHed his military studies and experience

ciphnarian and at the same time IS very
popular with his men. He is what is
called a Yankee in his methods, being
very careful of his soldiers, cautious of
losing life and extremely strict in keep
ing the weapons of his men in the best
possible order. 1t is well to write Of these
things, because at any moment | am
liable to be killed by the enemy and

Much Indignation is expressed to the
Junta over the announcement made by
ex-United States Consul to Cardenas, p.
G. Henriques, that General Weyler, on
gloating over the murder Of Maceo had
given authority to a band Of 500 negroes
to march through the island and pillage
and ravage everything they met in the
way.
Telegrams conveying expressions of
coincidence and promising to purchase
powder and arms for the continuance of
the fight in Cuba were received at the
Junta to-day from Jacksonville, Dallas.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

Washington, Dee. 14--The reported
assassination of Maceo, the Cuban
patriot, and it's effect on the attitude of
this country toward the revolutionists
was almost the sole topic of conversation
on the floor of the House before it met
to-day and there was a general expecta-
ti0n hat some radically sensational reso-
lutions would be introduced. No rssolu-
tions, however, were offered in open
session.
Mr.. Dingley, chairman Of the Ways
and Means Committee, presented con-
current resolution for a holiday recess
from Tuesday, December %, until Tues
day, January s. The resolution was
adopted without division.
Beyond agreeing to a resolution for a
two-weeks' holiday recess, beginning
December %, the proceedings in the
House We're almost entirely devoid of
public interest. Most OF the day was
spent in struggle over the bill of Mr..
Morse, Of Massachusetts, to render the
laws relating to the sale of intoxicating
liquors in the District OF Columbia more
stringent. The opposition was inclined
to filibuster against it, but it was finally
passed. The Presidents veto OF bill
to pension Lydia A. Tiff, "a divorced
widow" was sustained-98 to S5-two-
thirds not voting to override the Presi-
Dental dispproval. Several minor relief
bills were passed.
Representative Ray, of New York,
from the Committee of the Judiciary re-
ported adversely the bill providing that
cigarettes transported into a State, upon
arrival shall be subject to the laws Of the
State as though the cigarettes had been
produced there. The State laws, he says,
are sufficient and any additional Federal
law would discriminate against certain
sections and tend to encourage trusts.
Representative M. w. Howard, of
Alabama, introduced resolution recog-
nizing the Republic of Cuba as a free
and independent government.
Representative Meredith, of Virginia,
bill authorizing the payment
