mB making a tot cso baforo the United States
I Suorctno Court. This will bo the flrst -insUnco
II n which tho tiovcrnmont has asked tho court
jL-sTM for nn opinion on which to base proceedings In
mf flllbinstcr caacs. 1 ho tittcstlon raised is whether
K two legitimate expeditions setting out from tho
United .Stoics find being united Into slnglo
9 expedition with nrtns and raon, outside the
I thrcc-mllo limit. ro to bo regarded as a viola
I tlon of the neutrality lnws. The question has
n been raised before, but has not been settled by
, Al nn opinion from tho highest lourt.
( Tho flrst step toward this end was taken to
ll day br tho Allorner-dencrivh Ho ordered that
'' a libel bo tiled Immediately against thoSomors
N. Smith, which Is nuev lying at Mobile under
i I tho watch of Federal olllccre. Tho decision to
W libel tho vessol was tho reiult of thccxamlna-
tlon of witnesses at the Department of Justice
H yesterday nnd to day by Assistant AUorncys
I (Jcncral lloyd and Hojt.
Throo Chilians, who said they bad been con-
f nectcd with a Cuban filibuster expedition con-
I ducted on tho tut, Sotnors N. Smith last
;l August, wcro questioned (or several hours
I through nn Interpreter. Thcso wltnessos wero
jH brought to Washington through the ef-
U (oris of Spanish agents interested in tho
I prosecution of tho Smith. Their names
jj and tho details of their testimony wcro
" withheld by tho department. Tho witnesses,
who wcro formerly Chilian army ofltcors, said
they camo to Ken York somo timo aeo from
Chill to enter tho service of tho Cuban Insur
gents, having been employed by Cuban repre
sentatives in South America to Instruct men In
I military tactics and to assist in conducting
them from tho recruiting around In tho United
States to Cuba. Thoy say that tho Insurgent
loaders failed to keep certain promises mado to
them, nnd they arn willing to testify against the
promoters of tho Smith expedition.
Tho testimony of tho Chilians covers all tho
details nt tho AtiKtist expedition of the vessel.
Tho Smith Is said to hao left a point on the
southeastern coast of Florida, having on board
npartvof men bound for Cuba, among whom
iwcro tho Chilians, and to bavo met another ves
sel a fow miles off tho coast. This vessel, tho
Chilians testified, wax loaded with arms and
ammunition, which were transferred to tho
Smith, and carried with tho other part ot
the military outfit to Cuba. Tho aux
iliary vessel was a schooner, the namo of which
the witnesses professed not to know, the letters
of tho namo having been purposoly concealed
with n piece of canvas at tho timo the vessels
root. Tho Treasury nnd Judiciary o Ulcers be
llevo that tho schooner was the Donna P. lirlggs,
recently ilbolled at Norfolk, but roleased on
bonds to carry a cargo of lumber to New Haven,
Conn.
Tho Assistant Attorneys-General bellevo that
tho testimony of tho Chilians is of sufficient
Tuluo (or a successful prosecution of the Smith.
Completo formal testimony before a United
States court w 111 bo takon, and nn effort made to
prevent evon the release of tho vessel on bonds.
In c-uso the Government's case is successful the
matter will bo brought before the United States
hiiprcmo Court In order to obtain nn opinion.
The promoters of tho Smith expedition are ex
pected to hold that the expedition was not
illegal. Thoy will contend that two expedi
tions, onch legal In Itself, the one consisting of
unarmed men nnd tho other of arms without
men, may be united on tho high seas without
violating tho neutrality lnws,
Tbo Department of Justice believes that such
an expedition is illegal.

WAsniXOTOJf, Jan. 4. Two more counterfeit
$100 silver certificates have been discovered In
tho United Statos Treasurer's ofllce. This
makes a total of eight spurious notes of that
denomination which havo come to light within
two days. Chief Ilazen of the secret servlco di

Five of the bad bills wero found nt tho

Tho Secretary of tho Treasury has Issued an
order withdrawing alt $100 notes about
$28,000,000 from circulation as soon as they

Treasury officials hopo that tho banks may
assist dlroctly In tho withdrawal ot tho Gov

Washington, Jan. 4. According to Informa
tion received bore. Gov. Pingreo of Michigan
has decided to pay tho advanced price asked by
a Venezuela company (or his asphalt mine, situ
ated near the mouth of tho Orinoco River, In
his great work of overthrowing monopolies the
Governor recently paid a lslt to Venezuela to

'Heavy Taxe Levied by Hemes en Sueur
Winder futile Pence Talk In Havana.
Havana, Jan. 3. Tho town of Camajuanl,
Santa Clara province. Is In a state ot anarchy,
Itobbery and assassination by the Bpanlsh guer
rilla forces havo been Incessant there sjneo
Doc. 21. The military commander, far from
trying to prevent tho crimes of these Irregular
troops. Is said to encourage them. The fact Is
that tho gucrrilleros are disgusted over tho
adoption of autonomy, and wish to terrorize tho
Autonomists residing In tho town, and especially
the nowly nppolnled Mayor, Soflor Galvan, who
belongs to that party.
Several gucrrilleros In civilian dren have
shotpcaceful Inhabitants In the streets, and
overy night they attempt to assault the Mayor
In his house. The Mayor has posted armed
men In bis restdenco, and Is ready to repol any
nttack. Meanwhllo ho has sent word to Gen.
Dlancoof tho gravity of the situation.
Tho guerrillas of Camajuanl havo had a wide
reputation for cruelty ever since tho last war.
They nro tho principal raldors of Cubtn hos
pitals in the province and the torrorof paclftcos
and Cuban women. Tholr lcadors belong to tho
uncompromising Fpanlsh party, the Union Con
stltuclonal, and when Gen. Weyler was reeallod
they threatened the Government with a mili
tary revolt If tho sanguinary Captain-General
w as not again placed tn office.
There Is a strong sentiment among many
Spaniards In Havana In favor of the Spanish
Government making an attompt to confer with
the Cuban leaders concerning a basts ot peace.
Up to this timo tbo several commissions sent to
tho Cuban camps havo been oxpectod either to
bribe tho Insurgents or to propoao to them to
surrender to Spain, accepting tho autonomy
granted by Sngnsla. Hut no offer has bcon
made to the Insurgents to glvo a bearing to
tholr own conditions of peaco and their objec
tions to the new rdgimr.
It is said that .Sctinr Arttiro Amblard, who
refused a portfolio in tho now Cabinet, and who
was one of tho principal lenders of tho Spanish
Itcformlsts, is of the opinion that nutonomy
ought to hno boon offered, not to theAuton
onilstR residing In Havana, who never In their
lives bnd shown any Intention to revolt against
Spain, no matter how many vexations thoy had
Bulfcrcd. but to thoso who ure In the Held, and
on whoso acceptance or refusal of Spain's ad
vances peaco wholly depends.
It Is even said that Captnln-Gcncral Illnnco
has cabled to Madrid expressing hts view that
tho Autonomists havo no influence to induce
tho Cuban Army to cease fighting, out, on tho
contrary, they irritate tho patriots still further
against Spain.
llut if Scflor Amblard and Spaniards who
think Hko him are right In believing that tho
present plan for pacifying tho Island is nonsonso,
they nre, on lly other hand, wholly deceived If
thev he any Tiopo that direct offors to the In
surgents would bo better rcceHed. A new proof
ot this, In addition to tho many declarations from
Gens. Gomez and Garcia and other prominent
Cuban leaders, is tho proclamation just Issued by
Gen. Francisco Carrlllo, second in command in
tho province of Santa Clara, who has invaded
the province of Mntanzas with a force of 1,'JOO
cavalry. Carrillo Bays that oven autonomy as
liberal ns that ot Canada would not bo ncceptcd
by the Cubnns In nrms. " Wo dcslro only Inde
pendence," ho says. "We are shedding our
blood now and wo are ready to shed tho last
drop If only the cursed SDnnlsh flag, which
represents so many crimes ot Spain and so many
sufferings ot our country, may bo seen in Cuba
no more."
The i evolution is stronger than ever In tho
province of Plnar del ltlo, and the tobacco
planters pay heavy taxes to tho patriots. A
few who thought thoy might grind sugar enno
without paving tho tax havo had tholr farms
destroyed. Gen. Gomez continues to forbid tho
grinding of sugar cane, in spite ot tho many ap
peals sent to him. It Is, nevertheless, said to
day that in some parts of the provinces of Mn
tanzas and Havana, w herovcr tho patriots most
need resources, ho has allowed certain sugar es
tate owners to grind upon paying 40 cents for
each bag of sugar they make.
