MACEo WASN'T CAPTURED.
The Willy Cuban Triclxed the
Spaniards.

Spaniards.
HAVANA, Cuba, April 16-Chagrin
and anger succeeded the premature
elation of Capt. Gen. Calleja over the
supposed capture of Jose Maceo. Ma
ceo's double was captured, but not
Maceo. Anticipating unusual efforts to
capture him, the willy Cuban general
donned a disguise and went to the
front in command. Col. Guerra was
the one captured, while Maceo escaped
to the mountains with few of his fol-
lowers. 1t is expected, however, that
he will be captured, as many small
parties are in pursuit of him.
At the head of one Of the regiments
of Cubans was Brigadier Gen. Flor
Crombet, who died a hero. His men,
encouraged with inspiring words of
cheer, fought like demons, but they
were not we'll disciplined. They were
brave, but their recklessness counted
for naught when opposed to Spain's
regulars. The fighting at Palmarito
began late Saturday. The firing was
rapid and incessant and the rebels
were losing ground, when, just at
dusk, Cfombet, mounted on a huge
black horse, rallied his troops for the
last charge. The onslaught was
tremendous one. Crombet determined
/ toelead his force to victory or die in
the attempt. With a cry of "All for
Cuba" he sank his spurs into the
flanks. of his horse and dashed at the
Spaniards. Within fifty yards of
Spain's line he fell, bleeding from
many wounds. An instant before he
died he raised his head, and his last
words were: God save Cuba from
SPAIN On his body, which was ter
ribly mutilated by his enemies, were
found papers giving names of all the
leaders and estimates of the strength
of the revolution.
Loyal Spaniards say the war is end
ed Havana hospitals are overflowing
with the wounded. They come in at the
rate of twenty-five day. The dead are
buried at night in order to avoid COM
ment. About 800 patients are now in
the hospital, rs per cent of whom will
die.

1NDoRsEs GROWERS VIEWS.
Col. Morrison Opposed to Bimet-
aIism.

ST. LOUIS, April 16.-Col. w. R. Nor
rison, of Illinois, member of the inter
state commerce commission and pros
pective candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination, agrees with
the presid mt that the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver by the United
States at the rate Of 16 to / in the alb
sence of an International agreement
would mean silver monometallism for
the United States. He further agrees
with the president that the line of bat
tie is being drawn between the forces
of a safe currency on the one side and
those of silver monometallism on the
other side. but he finds fault with the
presidents letter, believing that 1t
lacks candor. He thinks Mr.. Cleveland
should have told the country what he
meant by a safe currency. This term
safe currency" in Col. Morrison's
opinion, is ambiguous, and he would
like to know whether or not the presi-
dent means that the only safe cur
rency is one based on gold monometal-
lism.

JAPs DoUBT 1T.
Minister to England Points Out
DiscreDancies

LONDON, April 1.-THE Japanese
ministers here, in an interview today,
said that he had not received informa-
ton that peace had been concluded
upon the terms stated in the dispatch
to the London Times from Shanghai.
The Japanese minister adds that the
Times dispatch omits several par
ticulars that he knew Japan had ad-
vanced, notably the favored nation
treatment, and other commercial con-
cessions. He also said that the amount
of indemnity mentioned was very
small, but he believed that the clauses
referring to the independence of Corea
and the cession of the island of For
mosa were correct. Clauses and 3,
tire minister remarked, were difficult
to understand, while an offensive and
defensive alliance between China and
Japan, referred to in the sixth clause,
was, in his opinion, scarcely recon-
ciliable with theepresent requirements
of Japan.

PAUNCEFoTE DOUBTS.
Thinks England Has Given No
Decisive Orders Yet.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote has not received any def
mite advices concerning the latest
Nicaraguan developments. Sir Julian
has not been kept advised of the nego-
tiations, but such a decisive move as
the one reported, Indirectly involving
the United States, undoubtedly would
be communicated to him. There are
two views taken by diplomates of the
status of affairs. One is that Great
Britain's ultimatum was one sub
mitted for acceptance or rejection.
Nicaragua's answer proposes other
terms, but is indirectly a rejection of
the British terms. If Great Britain
considers this an evasion she will pro-
ceed to enforce the ultimatum which
expires today.
The other view is that Great Britain
would not exert immediate force until
the foreign office had taken the usual
diplomatic course of rejecting Nicar-
agua's counter proposition, in which
case it would still be a subject for
diplomacy and not force. A well post
ed diplomatic authority explaining
matters from a British standpoint
indicated that a show of force prob
ably might be made, but that the war
would not happen. Some of the COM
mercial vessels of the offending
country might be seized or it's COM
merce crippled until the terms of the
demand were acceded to.
The course adopted if events reached
the acute stage would be to send
warship to Nicaragua as the United
States did recently in the Benton
case. The cruiser Montgomery, under
Capt Davis, proceeded to Honduras,
and naval instead of diplomatic rep
reservations were made, whereupon
the latter country acceded to the
demands of the United States for the
settlement of the Benton case and
the payment of an indemnity
