The coast guar.lt on land and gunboats by sea are patrolling the coasts to prevent the landing of filibusters from Florida, Honduras and Costa Rica. Spies in Tampa and Key West have reported unusual activity among refugees, and have forwarded information of a general conspiracy afoot. The government seems to fear an insurrection, and is taking extreme measures to stamp It out. * A Washington special, Feb. 25, says: Secretary Gresham has received a cable from U. S.
