TO PREVENT FILIBUSTERING

Our Government Has Done Much Mets
Than Spafn's Navy.
Washington, Feb. 9.-From a reliable
quarter it is learned that the recent
note delivered by Minister Woodford to
the Spanish government relates to the
question of flibustering, and is II
strong showing of what the United
States has done and the amount of
money the government has spent in
stopping hlibusterng. The statement
showed an aggregate expenditure of
upwards of $2,0o0,000 by this govern
ment in running down fllbusters,
maintaining detectives, equippng ves-
sells and searching parties. 1t showed
also that the United States has been
more successful in this regard than
Spain, as the detailed statement shows
how large number of iilibusters were
apprchended, parties broken up and
prosecutions carried on by the fed
eral authorities, while the Spanish ma
val force surrounding the island of
Cuba has not succeeded in accomplish
ing equal results, the Competitor party
being, it is said, the only one of any
proportions which has been apprehend-
ed by the Spanish. 1t is understood
that the showing is mainly important
In its arrayal of facts and figures
rather than in its controversial tone.
