Fate Of a Band Of Filibusters.

Madrid, Jan. "A special dispatch
from Havana to the impartial says that
81 men comprising the flibustering ex-
petition recently landed upon desert
key by the Steamer Three Friends have
been drowned. The men were hastily
put ashore on the barren island after
the Three Friends had been pursued by
Spanish gunboats, with which the fill
clustering steamer had an exchange of
shots, and the cargo of arms and am
munition, provisions, ETC., on board the
steamer were also landed with the men.
The Three Friends being closely pur-
sued by the Spanish war vessels was
compelled to put the men ashore on this
barren island or take them back to the
United States and 1t was in making an
attempt to leave the island, the dis
patch says, that they were drowned.
The dispatch also says that 800 rifles,
which the fiIibusterers had with them,
were lost in the sea.

Weyler interviewed.

Eavauu, Jan. "a reporter OF tho
Diario De La Marina has had an inter
view with Capt. Gen. Weyler in tho
Mate Toro camp. Speaking of the stu
alton in the province of Pinar del Rio.
Gen. Weyler said that speaking from the
standpoint of strength and Importance
the instruction in that province had
been crushed. The few insurgents re-
naming were obliged to hide like wolves
in their caves. levers and smallpox
had thinned the rebel ranks. His own
column and those of the other Spanish
commanders had overrun the base and
interior of the hills and had met no
rebels. The insurgents, after the death
of Maceo, were without leader. Rivera,
Maceos successor, was unpopular
among. his men. Gen. Weyler added
that his statements would be confirmed
after Gems. Melguizo and Arolas had
completed their operations, which in.
cludcd the sweeping of the province
from west to east. Gems. Hernandez,
Velazco, Obregan, Bernal, Riuz, Fuentes
and Segurn were now in the center Of
the hills. Perhaps Gen. Arolas was also
there. Once the Rubi hills We're forth
fled severe blow might be directed
against the rebels under Ducassis. Gen.
Weyler said in conclusion that he would
allow no houses to be built on the out
skirts of the towns, as were they con
structed they would serve mostly as
refugees for bandits.
An odd feature Of the above interview
is that Gen. Weyler, while declaring
that Pinar del Rio is practically free OF
insurgents, finds it necessary to have
the Rubi hills fortified before he will at
tempt to strike blow at the rebels ua-
der Ducassis.

Wheat Speculation In France.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
A hundred or more years ago England
raissd more wheat than her people need
ed for bread. 1t was then customary
to sell the surplus to France, and upon
several occasions during the present CEN
tury cargoes were sent to the United
States. This year the crop in England
is below the average, and 1t will be suf-
ficient to supply bread to the English peo-
pie for only few months during the
year. Notwithstanding this scarcity
of wheat for home consumption England
has exported small quantity of what
to France during this present month.
This is probably due to the artificial slim
ulation of the French market by specu-
lators. who 1t Is said. are undertaking
to corner the wheat market in that coun-
try.
