situation in Crete, the Gaulois says that
the king of Greece when in Paris in No?
vember last gave the government to un?
derstand Mint his further resistance to the j
aspirations of the people of Greece was
impossible, and he was therefore com?
pelled to seek closer relations with Aus?
tria and Great Rritinn. the disposition of
Itussh) being unfriendly. The paper also
asserts that a report which had been re?
ceived! saying} that, the German emperor
made an announcement yesterday thai
he would adhere to the policy of France

sensation in diplomatic circles. The;
Gnulois concludes by warning Germany

Weyler Still Pursuing the Kneniy in
Havana, Feh. V>.?.lose Vnreln /.uregu,
a prominent physician, has been'ttrrested
on ji charge of conspiracy against the
government. The doctor's brother,
P.dunrdo, was transported to the
Chaffnrine islands some time ago.
Eight native l'hillipiuc ollirers have
hcen transfeired from the army there for
service in < !ubu.
About 800 families have itrtivetl in the
city ol Santa Clara from t'.ie country.
Their homes have been completely de?
stroyed by tin- Spanish troops, who are
burning or otherwise destroying every?
thing of value in the province outside the
cities and towns. The condition of the
refugees i-. pitiable. Many of them
were not able to obtain lodgings in the
city, h iving no money to pay therefor,
and they have been compelled to camp in
the outskirts, where they have little or
no protection from the elements.
The rebels have apparently disappeared
from the province of Santa Clara, hut it
is known that they are sheltered in the
hills, where the Spanish troops cannot
reach them.
[ All the columns accompanying Gen
[ oral Weyler are said to be ^seeking them,
' but can lind no trace. As the troops
have made no attempts to enter the
hills, it is quite certain they will discover
no insurgents so loin: as the hitter re?
main eusconsed in their biding places.
General Weyler to day continued his
march through the province. His forces
are divided into three columns, he him?
self commanding the center one.
Captain Ochoa reports from Cicu
fttcgos that he "has repulsed an attack
made by about -'on rebels. He said that
it is reported that the rebels were led by
various chiefs, and that they were escort?
ing the members of t he rebel government.
This is not believed in Havana, as it is
not thought probable that such a small
number ol insurgents, when entrusted
with the duty of escorting their govern?
ment, would attack a Spanish force.
