ALVEVITH INSURGENTS
There Are Thousands in the Prov
incs Of Pinar del Rio.
wEYLERs UNTRUE STATEMENTS
Frisnds OF the Insurgents at Havana In
innate That q Surprise viii be Sprung
to Havana,

Key West. Fla, Feb. 1o.-The vari-
Gus reports and statements of Captain
! General Weyler, announcing the paci-
fication of the province of Pinar del Rio
and the almost complete disappear
ance of the insurgents in that part of
the island, are far from being borne
out by facts. As intimated in the dis
patches when the Spanish commander
made the remarks cited, II Pinar del
Rio was as quiet as he alleged it to
be, what has become of the arms,
horses. ammunition and stores, ETC., of
the 1900 men whom he admitted were
under arms there.
AS a matter of fact, the insurgent
forces in Pnar del Rio seem better off
more thoroughly equipped and disci-
pined than at any previous stage of
the campaign. In support of this as
sertion the following statements have
/ been gathered from the most reliable
sources:
In the neighborhood Of Catalina and
Las Cuevas are the insurgent leaders
Varona Rivero and Luis Perez, with
about 200 men. well armed and hav-
ing plenty Of ammunition. though
poorly clad.
In the zone of Jaucia and Mula is the
insurgent leader Lazo with some 900
men. In the districts of Bayas, Rio
del Medic, ',Managnacos, Pena BlancI
and Pan de Azucar are various groups
of insurgents with a total OF over 500
men.
At the Heights Of Gobernadoro and
the Sierra del Rosario the insurgents
are under the command of Brigadier
General Ruis Riyero, and are esti
mated to number about 800 men. At
Soroa is a force under Antonio NuneZ,
and at several other portions Of the
province are well equipped bodies.
The forces alone of those of the
known leaders of the insurgents in the
field are estimated to number about
5000 men.
In addition to these forces Is a
strong body of insurgents which seems
to have mysterously disappeared from
the neighborhood of Havana. The |
whereabouts of this force is attracting
much attention, and is known to be
causing the Spanish staff considerable
anxiety.
The friends of the insurgents at Ha-
NdIh lHlllldte ludt DlB surprise Is |
being prepared for Captain General |
Weyler when he tries to return to Ha-
Vana.
Advices from Remedies say that |
General Maxine Gomez has moved |
from the district of Santi Spiritus to
La Siguanea, which caused rumors to
be circulated Of a probable conference
between the generals and eventually
of the conclusion of peace. But these
reports have since been denied from
insurgent sources.
1t has become known that some OF
the most prominent of the home rule
leaders at Havana, after consulting to-
gether over the reforms projected for ,
Cuba, succeeded in sending a cable
message to the Madrid government re-
questing the latter to considerably
radically amplify the reform scheme,
adding that under its present form
there is absolutely no chance of its
meeting the wishes of the insurgent |
leaders and bringing about the paci-
fication of Cuba.

Has Unfair Advantages.
= washington. Feb. 10.-The most i'm
portant developments concerning the
consideration of the arbitration treaty
by the senate In executive session. yes
tsrday were the offering of an amend
ment by Senator Morgan, Of Alabama,
providing for the abrogation of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty and the speech
by the same senator in favor of this
proposition. Senator Morgan declared
that the conditions which called forth
the Clayton Bulwer treaty had long
passed away. 1t was no longer bind
ing on either nation, nor was 1t Of any
use or value to this nation, though 1t
might be of great Importance to Great
Britain In case the Nicaragua canal
was constructed. With the treaty now
under consideration he said that no
doubt the question of the abrogation
Of the Clayton-Bulwe treaty in ef-
Iect would have to be submitted to ar
bttration. While the old treaty was
obsolete and disregarded, yet 1t was
still used as a menace and bugaboo
to the United States whenever the con-
struction Of the Nicaragua canal was
advocated. Great Britain, declared
He,ratHrs- Margan, had violated the
treaty. and abrogated 1t by occupying
, portion Of the territory of Honduras.
Great Britain would use the treaty of
arbitration to her advantage, and the
Clayton Bulwer treaty would be used
in the same way unless 1t was declared
to be void.

New Haven, Feb. 10.-Captain Philip
Bailey, of the Yale crew, returned
from Cambridge late last night. He
declared that Yale or Harvard would
