London, April 24.-The Madrid cor

"A Spanish prisoner recently released
by the Filipinos says that the insur-
gents have $4,000 rifles, plenty of am
munition and 200 pieces of artillery,
some Of them the latest pattern of
quick firing uns. According to his de-
scription of the situation they have
established two large cartridge fac
tories, and, as 1t is impossible for the
Americans to blockade such a coast as
that of Luzon, the Filipinos can easily
procure from abroad everything they
require. The informant asserts that
Chinese, European and even Ameri-
can merchants doing business in China
are helping the Filipinos in this city"

STEAMER WHITNEY LOST
Of the Grew Of Thirty-one Twelve
We're Drowned.
HARDsHIPs OF THE SURVIVORS.

A Lifeboat Containing the Mate and
Fourteen Men Brought In to st. Au.
gustine, Fla, After Buffeting the
Waves For Forty-eight Hours.
st. Augustine, Fla, April 24.-Con-
siderable excitement was created here
yesterday afternoon by small boat
out at sea giving signals of distress
Captain Allen Immediately went to its
assistance in the yacht Baldwin. Upon
nearing the boat he found 1t to be the
missing lifeboat OF the Morgan line
steamer General Whitney, which foun-
dered north of Cape Canaveral during
Friday night. Captain Allen trans
ferred the sailors from their cramped
quarters to his yacht and brought them
in to Corbett's dock, where a large
crowd awaited them. Hot coffee and
food were furnished them at once upon
the boat, and the poor fellows fairly
banqueted.
The story of the disaster as told by
Mate Mattson and his men was a
thrilling one. One of the bulheads
sprung a leak from the heavy seas
which were prevailing during the early
part of Friday night. All hands were
ordered to the pumps and worked hard,
but the holds soon began to fill, in
spite of their efforts. The officers and
men realizing that the steamer was
settling fast and sure to founder took
to the two hfeboats. Captain J. w.
Hawthorne and 10 men went in the
first boat and we're never aqSin seen
by the remaining men. The Niptain's
boat was upset while attempting to
land at Mosquito Lagoon House of
Refuge on Saturday. The captain and
eleven men were drowned The chief
engineer, assistant engineer. fireman
and one sailoG were saved. Shortly
afterward, Mate Mattson and the bal
ance of the crew, Ia men, took to the
second boat This was about mid
night. They had a compass and began
to row for shore A strong wind was
prevailing, creating a heavy sea, and
the men at the oars could make no
headway.
All day Saturday the men tried to
approach shore, but could not even get
a glimpse of it, and almost despaired,
when they found they had plenty of
provisions, but no water. They spent
all of Saturday night at the mercy of
the sea, which washed over their frall
boat frequently. Early yesterday
morning they sighted land, and with
redoubled energy, made strong from
desperation, they took their turns at
the oars. When near enough to the
land they improvised a flag with can
vas tackled to an oar, and it was then
that Captain Allen went to their
rescue.
The men when they landed were
drenched to the skin and almost fam
ished, but warm food soon revived
their spirits, and they cheerfully mar
rated their experience. They will re-
main here until they receive instruc-
tions from New York. Besides Mate
Mattson, who conducted the party
through the rough trip, the survivors
are Charles Andy, H. Kerper, D. Jack
son, Louis Cook, George Cook, H.
Louise, G. L. Olson, Ed Seablum, Pat
rick O'Neil, N. Larsen, ]. Nelson,
George Linge, j. Davis and Thomas
Cavanaugh. These men were at sea
in their open skiff 48 hours, and most
of the time without water.
