FILIBUSTERS FAIL.
Spanish Claim to Have Frustrated
Recent Expeditions.

necSht hXpeuIt1OnS.
WASHINGTON, Jan 3.-The Span
ish authorities feel little apprehension
from reported filibustering expeditions
owing to the thoroughness with which
the Cuban coast is being patrolled by
the Spanish forces. 1t is pointed out
that the success of the expeditions
largely depends upon the-ability to de-
liver the goods to the insurgents, and
that the mere landing Of an expedition
counts for little. Under the system
established by Gen. Weyler, the move
ment of any considerable insurgent
force toward the coast is not
ed, and steps taken toward
meeting an expedition. The in
surgents have no pack trains,
or the ordinary means Of transporting
military stores, and are obliged to re-
ceive and carry goods by hand. In han
ding boxes of guns or any considerable
supply of ammunition a large number
Of men is necessary to dispose of an
expedition by hand. For this reason,
the approach of the Three Friends eX-
pedition was made known to the Span
ish commanders by the movement of
| a large insurgent force towards the
coast. A battle ensued, and the insur-
gents were driven inland The point
at which the Three Friends subse-
quently tried to land was that to which
the insurgent force was headed.
At present it is said this patrol is
so complete that no cohSiderab BILE force
of insurgents can move without un-
masking the destination of an expedi-
ton, and thus giving ample time for
it's apprehension. This is but one
means Of apprehension, however, and
1T does not diminish the scouting ex-
petitions before their departure
According to official advices received
here, the insurgents are in a desper-
ate condition since the death of Maceo.
The report that Gomez crossed the
eastern trocha is apparently disposed
OF by a statement coming from re-
liable source ON the island saying that
on Dec. 22-Some time after the date
of the reported crossing of the trocha
Gomez was still held to the eastward
Of that strategic line. It is believed
also by officials that the insurgent
leader La Crete is eitherf'dead or dan
gerously wounded. The absence of
him from the actual field Of conflict
is regarded as next in Importance to
the death of Maceo. 1t is. pointed out
that the fnSurgent cause is one depend
ing on leaders, and that the cause
itself will end with the disposal of the
| leaders
| Close scrutiny is being made by Of
fcials of the circumstances under
| which the steamer Dauntless left
Jacksonville. The stated purpose Of
| the vessel was wrecking expedition
and for this no clearance papers were
needed. 1t is believed. however, by
the Spanish authorities that the Daunt-
less has gone to succor the party
which first went on the Three Friends
and, failing to land in Cuba returned
to No Name Key off the Florida coast
The information sent here leads to the
belief that after the Dauntless has
taken on board the party at No Name
Key she will proceed to Cuba and en-
deavor to carry out the expedition
which the Three Friends failed to
land.

This morning, in company with Secre-

the Franklin Avenue M E. church
His presence at the church was not an
nounced in advance, and there was no
increase in the attendance. The pas
tor, Rev. DR.. E. S. Lewis, in his OPEN

those called to high places. When Mr.
Mckinley returned from church, he
was greeted at Mr.. Hanna's home by
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, who had
stopped over for a short visit on his
way to Washington. The senator and
Mr.. Mckinley had a short conference
In the afternoon a few of the close per-

1t is the intention of Mr. Mckinley

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 3.-Thomas
Lovelace, second lieutenant of the Sole
dad, which was wrecked off the north
coast Of Cuba last October, is spend
ing few days here with his mother
While wrecked Lovelace spent three
days at Havana, and he has just re-
turned from the Cuban country He
talked interestingly with a reporter
and, asked regarding the reported
death Of Maceo, said: 81 am convinced
that Maceo is not dead. In my opinion
the story of his death was promulgated
by the insurgents themselves. The
Vamoose, that sailed from New York
and is at present detained,at Key West,
can make twenty eight knots an hour,
and have pretty reliable Information
that her object was to convey Maceo
to the other side Of the island where
he might join Gomez, and the two plan
the campaign together. have not the
slightest doubt, in fact, that Maceo is
recovering from his wounds. The in
surgents will take no aggressive action
until his complete recovery"
Continuing, Lovelace said: 'In those
three days at Havana I saw sixty
eight insurgents executed on a sand
bar near the ship. They stood the
prisoners up in squads of eight or ten,
and then one soldier was selected to
pick them off one at time, just as
though they were shooting rats.
The prisoners were in all sorts of
attitudes while the shooting was going
on. Some were kneeling in prayer
others were standing erect. But none
Of them showed any signs of fear The
prisoners ranged in age from boys, who
could not have been over eighteen, to
gray-headed men. None of the execu-
tions lasted long. I saw one squad of
ten men shot down in about fifteen
minutes AT one time I saw three Of
ficers Of the insurgents executed, and
they were allowed volley from ten

KYLE IN THE LEAD.
Caucuses Today VIII Select House
and Senate O7Hcers

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 3.-The indica-
tions tonight are that Kyle is in the
lead in the senatorial fight, but the
hackers of PloWman and Loucks claim
to be confident. The caucuses of the
different parties will be held tomorrow
to select their nominees for chief Of.
ficers. Colvin will very likely be the
PCpulist choice, Glass is the only one
so far mentioned as the Republican
choice, and Weeks, of Brule, will receive
the Democratic nomination. The first
ballot will not elect, as the eight Demo-
Gratis of the house hold the balance Of
power, there being thirty seven Repub-
licans and thirty-eight Populists. A
rumor was flying today of a Demo-
cratic and Republican combination for
the organization of the house. and it is
yet being talked, but the Democrats
deny such a scheme. There is no prac-
ticaI change from yesterday as to the
probabilities for the chief officers of
the two houses, but candida tes for
minor positions have become SO numer-
Gus that it is impossible to- keep track
of them,
