NEED NOT BELIEVE THIS.
Fact That Weyler Says 1t Is True
Is Enough.

Havana. Jan. IA reporter of the Diaro
de la Marina has had an interview with
Captain General Weyler in the Mata
Toro camp. Speaking of the situation in
the province of Pinar del Rio General
Weyler said that Speaking from the
standpoint of strength and Importance.
the insurrectiOn in that province had
been crushed. The few insurgents re-
naming, were obliged to hide like wolves,
IN their caves. Fevers and smallpox had
thinned the rebel ranks. His own column
and those of the other Spanish command
ers had oVerrun the base and interior of
the hills, and had met no rebels. The
insurgents. after the death of Maceo.
Were without a leader. Rivera MaceO' s
successor. was unpopular among his men.
General Weyler added that his statements
would be confirmed after Generals Mel
~uiZo and Arolas had completed their
operations, which included the sweeping
of the province from west to east. Cen
erals Hernandez Velasco. Obregan, Ber-
nal, Ruiz. Fuentes and Segura were now
IN the center of the hills. Perhaps Cen
eral Arolas was also there. Once the
Rubi hills were fortified a severe blow
might be directed against the rebels un-
der Ducassis.
An odd feature of the above interview
is that General Weyler while declaring
that Pinar del Rio is practically free of
insurgents, finds it necessary to have the
Ruhi hills fortified before he viii at

It Was Landed.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. There is
no longer any doubt but that the Three
Friends expedition was landed on Flor
ida key after the vessel had been
chased from the Cuban coast by a
Spanish boat.
A telegram from Miami says that
the Dauntless reported there last and
went on to No Name key, where a
large body of men are reported to be
wrecked. and that two of their num-
ber are reported to be dead A tele-
gram from Key West says that when
the steamer City of Richmond passed
No Name Key, the Dauntless was then
taking on board party of men and a
cargo.
The Three Friends is still in custody
of the collector of customs. No legal
proceedings have yet been instituted
against the vessel or crew.
The statement sent from Madrid of
the drowning of 81 men landed OH
Florida Key by the steamer Three
Friends, is declared by the Cubans
here a mistake. ]. A. Huaia, agent
of the junta, says if the story was true
he would have been so informed.

Boise, Ida, Jan. 1.--Senator Du-
bois has arrived from Washing
ton. He was accompanied by Sec
retary C. A. Walsh of the Demo-
cratic national committee. The
senator was met at the depot by
a number of friends and was
warmly welcomed. He proceed

rooms had been reserved for him.
Senator Dubois did not care to say
anything on TIE subject of the
present contest farther than that
the silver Republicans were taking
no part in the organization of the
two houses. They had no candi-
dates and would not caucus on the
subject Referring to national
matters. Senator Dubois said the
silver advocates in the senate were
as aggressive as ever. They be-
lieved that prosperity could not be
again experienced until free coin
age is restored. and they will not
abate their efforts to bring about
such restoration. 1t is their con-
viction that they viii be shown to
be correct by the developments of
the near future and that they will
soon succeed in bringing the coun-
try over to their way of thinking.
Touching his own attitude. the
senator said his final act of sepa-

drew from the Republican caucus
and resigned his membership on

Secretary Walsh was called upon
at his rooms during the afternoon.
Mr. Walsh was asked if he had

national committee, he said, de-
sired the reelection of Senator Du-
bois, and he had come here to do
what he could in a proper way to

the national Democratic leaders as

DIAZ IS DEFIANT.
Prepared to Show That There Is an
Organization In Cuba.

Organization In Cuba.
New York, Jan. IA special from
Atlanta, Ga, says:
Rev. DR.. Diaz, who is banished from
Cuba by Captain General Weyler, re-
ceived a commission from President
Cisneros Y'BetancOurt today.
Il PROPOSE" said Dr. Diaz, ito put a
stop to the talk about Cuba having no
government and that government hav-
ing no residence. l hereby declare my
readiness to personally conduct any
agent President Cleveland may desig-
nate to the seat of the Cuban govern
ment in Cubitas. and into the presence
of President CiSneroS. This l will un-
dertake to do, not only with assured
safety to the agent, but with the same
ease and speed with which he could go
to Havana.
Our government only asks that the
agent shall examine the facts as TO
the authority exercised and extent of
territory controlled. We challenge a
comparison as to results between such
personal investigation as has been
made on behalf OF the Spaniards by
Consul General Lee from Havana, and
by such agent as may be sent to Gu
bitaS on behalf of the Cubans Consul
General Lee will find himself blocked
on the outskirts of Havana unless
backed by an army, while the agent
at Cubitas will find the whole island
open to him, except the spots occupied
by Spanish forts
DR.. Diaz spoke with great earnest
ness. He says that he is armed tyith
official documents to undertake the
Cuban end OF the task proposed.

The Porto Rico Reforms.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Senor De Lone,
the Spanish minister, furnishes the
United Associated Presses the follow
ing copy of a telegram from Foreign
Minister Tetuan at Madrid:
In the council Of ministers, pre-
sided over by her majesty, the queen
regent, a royal decree was signed
which applies to the Island of Porto
Rico, the laws of reforms voted in Che
cortes on the 18th of March, 1895.
The preamble to this decree is of the
greatest Importance because of the
statements 1t contains regarding Cuba.
1t begins by explaining the reasons
why the reforms are applied there, and
why this has not been done before.
Amongst other paragraphs it contains
the following, which, owing to their i'm
portance, L copy in their entirety:
- In the actual circumstances, the
government considers that the proper
time has arrived for giving TO the
world ample proof of its firm resolve
to fulfil the engagements voluntarily
contracted by the nation by implanting
and carrying into effect in Porto Rico
the reform system of government and
civil administration voted by the cor
tes and sanctioned by her majesty, and
which, conveniently enlarged and ex-
tended, will be applied in due time to
Cuba.
=" In unfolding the basis of the re-
forms with the scrupulous care which
the complex nature of the case and its
many and varied problems demand. the
undersigned minister has been inspired
with sense of necessity of ample ad-
ministrative decentralization, and has
proceeded to the utmost limit which
the actual law allows without diminu-
tion of the inherent sovereignty of the
nation. At the same time. true to the
solemn promise made before parlia-
ment by its president, the government
proposes to give Il more ample scope
to the reforms when, as a herald of
peace. the happy moment arrives for
the definite application of reforms to
both the Antilles. AS soon as possible,
her majestys government will hasten
to apply to Cuba not only the reforms
which form the groundwork of the law
applied today to Porto Rico, but also
will eXteEd to both provinces the re-
forms which have been offered with
the view of comforting upon both An
TILES an administrative and economic
personality of local character, which
shall facilitate the complete interven-
ton OF the country in its own affairs,

THE PROPOSED REFORMS.
What Spain May Possibly Do For
Cuba.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The effect of
the reforms proposed by the Spanish
government for Porto Rico, when ex-
tended to Cuba, as is proposed when
the insurrection has been brought
under further control, will be to
create three sets of administrative
bodies in the island, Independent of
the representatives of Cuba in the
Spanish cortes. The voters, under
system of limited suffrage, are al
ready permitted to choose the boards
of aldermen of municipalities, and the
mayors are to be chosen from these
boards by vote of their members. The
next body in rank is the provincial
assembly, of which there is only one
in Porto Rico, but one for each of the
six provinces of Cuba. The functions
of the provincial assembly are largely
united with those of the proposed
council of administration in the case
of Porto Rico, because there is but one
body. The council of administration
will be an independent body in Cuba,
and will, for the first time, give the
Cubans a large share of control over
their internal domestic concerns. The
home government will retain control of
the laws leVying taxation, and will re-
serve the right to review the budget of
appropriations, but the appropriations
VIII be made by the council OF ad
ministration. subject to the approval
of the ministry at Madrid. The Span
ish government does not propose, at
present, TO widen the limits of the
suffrage, which extends to persons pay
ing a combined tax of S. and to several
of the learned professions. The re
forms in contemplation for Cuba are
largely those which were embodied in
the decree of March Is, 1895, but which
have not been put in force because of
the insurrection. Changes which have
been proposed in this law will require
to be submitted to the cortes at their
meeting in the spring, but it is not
doubted that the plans proposed by the
ministry will be accepted.

Madrid, Jan. IA special dispatch
from Havana to the Impartial says
that so men, comprising the filibuster-
ing expedition recently landed upon a
desert key by the steamer Three
Friends have teen drowned. The men
were hastily put ashore on the barren
island after the Three Friends had
been pursued by Spanish gunboats
with which the filibustering steamer
had an exchange of shots. and the
cargo of arms and ammunition. pro-
visions, etc, on board of the steamer
were also landed with the men. The
Three Friends. being closely pursued
by the Spanish war vessels was COM
PEELED to pat the men ashore on this
barren island or take them back to the
United States, and it was in making
an attempt to leave the island, the
dispatch says, that they were drowned.
This dispatch also says that $50 rifles,
which the filibusters had with them,
We're lost in the sea.
1t was learned here today that Sub
sequent to the landing of the expedition
on the key, two of the party took
small sail boat and went TO Key West.
They subsequently returned to the is
land in the same manner they had
come. The fact that they were able to
make the journey in a small boat Tas
considered sufficient evidence that the
island is not far distant from Key
