IT'S ALL OVER NOW!
CUBAN REVOLUTION REPORTED
AT A DISASTROUS END.
6ebel Forces Helpless without Their
Leader--Macco's Treatment in Captivity
Likely to be Ignored in the Extreme--
VIII be Executed by the Garrote.

Havana, April 15.-Maceo is captured
and Cuba's last hope is gone Crombet
has been killed. Without these two
leaders, all is chaos in the insurgent
ranks and liberty's most ardent friends
admit that the Cuban cause is lost The
Spanish authorities are posting bulle-
Tins and the royalists in Havana are
celebrating the ending Of the revolu-
ton. Without Crombet and Maceo
there can be no real war.
On Saturday the Cuban army and the
Spanish soldiers met at Palmireto. The
rebel forces numbered 1000 men, while
that of the Spaniards numbered 5000.
A desperate battle followed and, &C
cording to official reports, lasted two
hours At the end of that time the
rebels retreated and were pursued by
the Spanish troops and Maceo was cap
tured. His secretary was also taken
and all the personal and private papers
OF General Maceo were confiscated. The
battle was a hard fought one and the
insurgents battled desperately against
odds. The Spanish soldiers resisted
with remarkable courage, the on
slaught of the rebels. In a hand to
hand conflict number of Cuban Of
Ulcers, one of whom was a colonel, were
killed.
Maceo was leader of the rebel forces
during the last revolution. Though
but youth, he achieved considerable
distinction. AT the outbreak of the
revolution Maceo landed at Baracoa,
March 81. With him we're the follow
Ing officers Of the rebel army: Briga-
der General Flor Crombet, General
Jose E. Maceo, Colonel Augustine Gel
reco, Colonel Patrice Corona, Frank

MART, Juan Justiser, Joaquin Siquenz,
George Estrada, AdOlfo Pena, Domingo
Guzman, Jose Palicin, Jesus Maria
Santana, Alberto Boy, Luis Carmel,
Manuel Ganda, Juan Limonta, Isidoro
Noriega, j. L. Jarvey, Silverio San
chez, Luis Soler
Maceos fate is known in advance. It
would befar better for him had ne oeen
killed, as was Crombet, than to be
brought here to Havana and put in old
Mora castles gloomy prison. He will
be kept there for some time, and then
possibly he will be given a mock trial.
1t is certain he will be garroted.
1--WE have no need of Campos and his
troops now" said a Spanish officer
when he heard Of Maceo's capture and
Crombet's death.
Calleja, captain general of Cuba, who
is in supreme authority until the ar
rival Of CampOs, who, by royal procla-
nation, is commander whenever he
lands, was seen at the captain generals
palace, and was asked if the news Of
the capture of Maceo was true. He
confirmed the news and added that all
of the filibustering was nearly at an
end. when you Americans see how
easily we can crush out the rebels here
In the island without the aid of home
troops or with only few of them, you
will realize that the amount of an
archistic sentiment in this land has
been exaggerated greatly" said Cal
Iaja. "Tell your people," he added,
that Cuba is loyal to Spain, and that
Spain has never oppressed the island as
represented"

"lF THOU WERT rKUE AS FAIR"

If thou were true as thou art fair,
Love should for thee thy burden bear;
No service would his heart disdain,
Or deem it idle or in vain;
But fare thee well, too fair art thou;
So fare thee well forever now.
If thou were mine and mine alone,
Then shouldst thou reign upon loves
throne;
But other hands may thine caress,
And other lips those lips may press;
So fare thee we'll Unfair art thou.
Go, fare thee well forever now.
II thou a goddess vert divine,
Should all men worship at thy shrinel
Nay, prithee, Thinks there not one
Who from thine altar would pass on,
Crying, Fare thee well, mere fairy thou,
Nay, fare thee well forever nowi"
Yet tell me, thou, my own, my queen,
Art true as thou hast ever been,
And thy servant still shall be,
Nor doubling, sing this song to thee
OF Fare thee well, " but, Fair art thou, "
And with me fare forever now"

Newark, o.. April 15.-Christopher
Columbus Ritter, who arrived from Ger
many in the winter Of 1864, and through
j. Wilkes Booths influence secured O.
position in Ford's theater, declares that
John Wilkes Booth is still living. He.
says that Boston Corbet shot and killed
Edward Fuchs, an actor resembling
Booth. Ritter is well educated, and his
character is above reproach. He de-
clares that he assisted Booth to escape,
and that they sailed for Brazil May 2
1865; that he soon left Brazil, but met
Booth by appointment in Hamburg
eleven years ago, and that on that occa-
sion Booth gave him pictures of his
children born TO his South American
wife. These pictures, bearing a strong
resemblance TO Booth, are now in Rit-
ter's possession. Ritter says he heard
from Booth last winter, and that he was
then on the South American stage.

BURNED COURT HOUSE AND RECORDS
Fire at Plattsburg, Missouri, Sweeps Over
Several Blocks.

Plattsburg, Mo-, April 15.-The fire
which started yesterday afternoon in
the livery stable Of James Strom at the
south end of Main street resulted in
the destruction of the court house with
all the records, two other business
blocks and the partial destruction of
third block. The flames rapidly en-
veloped the large livery stable and were
carried by north wind over the entire
block. Although the volunteer depart
ment worked hard, the scarcity of wat
er and the fact that there were several
frame buildings in the block, initiated
against the men.
The Clay & Funkhouser Banking
company; Hill & Young, grocers; Trim
bic & McWilliams; F. c. Frost; Geo.
Ersig and Joseph Sutler, are among
the principal losers. Very little goods
were saved from any of the burned
buildings. The loss will foot up $780,
900, on which the insurance is probably
over half.
