Remember the place, j. w Johnson 120 STATE STREET. &S Key West, Fla., Nov. 23. The followlug advices from Havana have been received: deneral Weyler is nnving in a southerly direction to the coast of Pinar del Rio, after having taken possession ot the mountain passes. Theseentranccstothe mountains of Pinar del Rio were abandoned by the insurgents. The Cubans, it is said, I made no resistance at these points. General Weyler destroyed the camps of the Cabans at Cacarajlcars, Brujo, Brujlto, Rubl, Rosarlo, Amelia, Man uellta, Gobernerdera', Soruo and other places. The Spanish swept before them everything that would have a tend ency to aid the Cubans in carrying on their warfare destroying factories and dwellings, and even the farm products found on the different plantations in that section of Pinar del Rio. It is reported in Pinar del Rio that the insurgents are down hearted be cause of the policy of continuous pur suit now adopted by the Spanish forces the destruction of most of the pro ducts necessary to sustain life in the eastern part of the province, and because of the military occupation of points necessary to control In passing from north to south. On the north coast, Cubans and other points are closely watched by the Spanish columns, and traces of any bands of insurgents can be found in Matanzas. Some local bands are said to exist, but they are not active at present. Rumors are persistently circulated to the effect that Maximo Gomez and Calixto -Garcia seized several days agothe important town of Las Tunas. This town is said to have been well fortified and well provided with artil lery. It is claimed the insurgents have captured -Puerto Padre, on the north coast. James William Brown, the Englisn man receutly expelled from Cuba, sailed on the steamer City of Wash ington for Vera Cruz. As ho boarded the boat he shouted back at the Spanish officers: "Viva Cuba libre!" A report is in circulation here tt the effect that General Maceo has been killed in the Brujo mountains, This report has not been officially confirmed, and is nob believed. The 'death of Serafln Sanchez, re ported .here, is regarded by Spanish officials as being a serious blow to the insurgents. Pioneers from Artemisa, province of Sauta Clara, report having passed trains bearing 700 sick persons en route for Havana. According to the persons in charge of the trains, 300 additional sick would shortly return to Spain, ihe semi-offlcially Epoca ad mits that he may possibly return, "owing to tin unhealthy season." Filibusters Discharged. New York, Nov, 23. The Jury in the -case of Emilio Nunse, of the Cuban Junta, and Captain DIckman, nf t.hn steamer Laurada. accused of violating the neutrality laws in en gaging In a hostile expedition In Cuba, reported a disagreement in the United States district court and was discharged. It Is understood thojury stood Ave for conviction to 6cven far acquittal. oe'.s Consul-general L Peace, Plan for Washington, Noy. 23. Appreciat ing that the return of General Weyler from the presant campaign without making any headway against Macco's forces will geatly aggravate the al ready critical sltuatiqn in Cuba, offic ials and diplomats1 in Washington have been earnestly discussing for some days various plana for rcliovlng the situation. Thev question of a Spanish-Cuban armistice has been widely discussed. If the conditions will submit of this there Is every reason to believe that the administra tion will exercise its good offices to bring about an armistice in the event that affairs become more critical be cause ot an unsuccessful campaign against Maceo. It is understood that' one form of a peaceful Intervention wjiich Consul General Lee has proposed to the auth orities here contemplates the use of the good offices of the United States to bring about a modus vivondl for a sufficient time to enable negotiations to be conducted for securing the Inde pendence of Cuba by purchase, the United States guaranteeing the pay ment of the debt. General Lee has not advised the im mediate adoption of this plan, be lieving .tluro would have to bo a chango in the situation before it could be put into practical effect.
