PIRACY ON THE SEAS.
This is the Charge uncie Sam Brings
Against the Three Friends.

Thc announcement Of the probable pur-
pose OF tho United States government TO
prosecute the alleged flibuster, Three
Friends, and the men who fitted her out for
her last expedition to Cuba on n charge of
piracy has caused a sensation. The libel Is n
lengthy document. The third count, which
Is the menancing one, describes the hitting
out OF the Three Friends with munitions Of
war TO assist those engaged In armed resist
anoe against the king Of spain.
~ Is signiflcent that in the libel no parti-
GUAR section OF the revised statues IL epeci-
lied as having been violated by the Three
Friends. This libel also differs from pre-
vious ones filed against ;he vessel In that the
persons nre named In connection with fitting
out the aliege expedition. These charges,
and tho further fact that the Three Friends
Is reported TO have used her Hotchkiss guns
against Spanish gunboat, are responsible
Tor the Impression that the government In
tends to prOcecd against the vessel and those
Who nttod her out on u charge of piracy
The date named Is the day on which the
Three Friends IL said to have fred on the
Spanish gunboat.
II should be understood that 30 far only
the vessel has been taken in custody by the
government. The men named In the libel
are still at liberty, and will not be arrested
until indicted by the United States grand
jury, which is now in session. But, while
nominally at liberty, the men are closely
watched by tho government detectives, and
would be Immediately arrested n they should
attemp TO leave the city.
1t is limited that by playing on the fears Of
one oil the men who accomp panied the Three
Friends on her Inst expedition, District At
torney Clark has induced him 10 turn states
evidence, and his testimony Is mainly relied
upon to secure indictments against the men
and their subsequent conviction.
The district attorney Ia paid TO be acting
under special Instructions from Washington,
and he is said to be in constant telegraphic
communication with Attorney General
Harmon. In this connection, 1t was learned
that the libel was prepared upon lines pre-
pared by the attorney general himself.

wEYLER TO BE RECALLED.
Tho Spanish Government is Not Satisfied
With Results in Cuba.

News has been received by the Cuban
Junta from Washington to the effect that the
Spanish government has positively determin-
ed to recall Capt. Gen. Weyler. Gen. Prime
do Rivera, It IL said, will succeed Gen. Wey-
Ter In Cubu. Hois a captain general In the
Spanish army and in favor with the Canovas
government.
Minister Taylor, 1t is said, informed secre-
tary Olney several days ago that the authori-
ties at Madrid were on the point OF relieving
Gen. Weyler OF his command In Cuba and
OF appointing as his successor Capt. Gen.
Rivera.
Reasons were given in brief why change
was deemed advisable, and statement was
made as to tho probable time when the or
ders would be promulgated. 1t is learned
that the Madrid government is displeased at
the fact that Gen. weyler, with about 2OO,-
600 troops, has not put down the Cuban re-
volt. Hc has expended large sums OF money,
but so far has made no decided headway In
accomplishing his main object, that OF que l.
ing the insurrection and restoring peace
and good order In Cuba. His troops have
been victorious on occasions. But they have
also met defeat, and the total result. consit-
ering SPANS outlay In life and treasure Is
far from satisfactory.

There Is great Indignation over the action
OF the Treasury department ia refusing to
nllsw the Three Friends to proceed South to
save the castaways Of tho Commodore until
too late to do any good. A telegram was re-
ceived announcing the loss of the Commo-
be sent south 70 search for eight sailors who
left the vessel on raft. Collector Bisbee
refused to allow the Three Friends to leave
even on life saving mission without orders
from Washington. J. NJ. Bars. owner OF
the Three Friends, wired the facts to secre-
tary Carlisle, asking for permission to send
the boat south. Senator Call visited the sec
retary and urged that the Three Friends be
allowed to go. The Secretary however, is
sued no orders, and he was again appealed
to. This time he consented, after the men
had been at tho seas mercy for 36 hours.
1t is now believed that the eight men per-
ished. and there ia disposition to hold the
secretary responsible for their death. 1t is
believed that all OF the 20 men who sailed on
the Commodore have been accounted for
save tho eight mentioned. Stephen Crane,

ward Murphy and William Higgins were res
cued In an exhausted condition. Higgins
died soon after being rescued. The Cuban
