HOW HE GOT HIS zITHER.

good story at the expense of n musical
ly-inclined and wealthy resident of th.e

the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. Some
time ago he wanted fine either and
searched the local market for one that
would suit him. The time he spent was
of sufficient value to pay for an or
binary instrument, and yet he did not
succeed in getting anything that quite
satisfied him. Confident that there was
nothing in this country that would an

and finally ordered one that he thought
would go ahead of anything ever seen

saved $50, in addition to the express

all the waiting which he had to en-
dure. But he would never have been

silver Senators Refuse to Attend the
Caucus.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The most no.
ticeable feature of the Republican sena-
torial caucus today as seen from the out
side, was the absence of the men who
bolted the nomination of Mckinley be-
cause of the gold-standard platform.
Those absent on this account we're: Du-
bois, Pettigrew, Mantle, Cannon, Squire
and Teller, All except Teller were in
the city and were invited to attend the
caucus.
That their absent was intentional was
clearly shown by the following letter
read soon after the caucus was called to
order by Senator Sherman:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. S.-To
Hon. John Sherman, chairman of the
caucus of Republican senators-Sir: 1
herby respectfully present my resigna-
ton as secretary of the caucus of Repub-
lican senators. 1 also resign my posi-
ton as member and secretary of the Re-
publican advisory or sssteering" commit
tee of the senate. Very truly yours,
FRED T. DUBOIS.
Dubois resignation was received with
out comment. On motion of Lodge, Will
son, of Washington, was chosen secre-
tary. Shoup was placed on the steering
committee in the place vacated by his
colleague. This committee was also en-
larged by the addition of Hansbrough, b,
of North Dakota.
The Dingley tariff bill was referred to
the steering committee, with instruc-
tions to investigate as to the likelihood
of getting the bill through and devise
means to that end if possible. 1t was
the prevailing opinion that the best
policy demanded the passage of the bill
but the opinion seemed to be quite gen.
| eral that this was not within possibility
Gear brought up the Pacific railroad
bill. 1t was referred to the steering
committee. After Lodge explained the
status of the immigration bill, the eau
Gus also declared for an internationa

following resolution introduced Dy VOL

Maceo's Life at Last Offered
Up for Cuba Libre.
YOUNG GOMEZ SHARES HIS FATE
The Spaniards Are Encouraged, as
Well They May Be, at This I'm
expected Turn.

HAVANA, Dec. SIT is stated in most
positive terms by the Spanish authori-
ties that Antonio Maceo, the great in
surgent leader, and the heart and soul
of the Cuban cause has been killed in
Havana province, after having effected
the passage of the western trocba, near
Mariel, at it's northern extremity. With
Maceo died the youth Francisco Gomez,
son of Maximo Gomez, who accompanied
the mulatto general on his passage of
the tlocha. Most explicit details of the
finding of the corpse of the fallen leader
of the Cubans, and of the facts relied
upon for the Identification, are at hand
through the report of the Spanish com
mander, Major Cirujada, who contested
the passage of the trocha unsuccessfully
on December 4th Qast Friday, with
Maceo, and who sustained another con-
hict yesterday with the forces under the
insurgent leader.
1t was in a Renaissance, after the lat
ter engagement, that the Spaniards
found the two corpses, not separated in
death, which they identified as those of
Antonio Maceo and francisco Gomez.
The authorities now permit the publi-
cation of Major Cirujada's report of the
engagement with Maceo, on December
4, when he forced the trocha, and which
was fearful combat. This is the first
official admission that Maceo brought
with him across the trocha consider
ably equipped following, and fought a
hot engagement to effect his passage.
After the Cubans had passed into Ha-
vana province the Spanish commander
effected a fresh concentration in that
province and awaited the arrival of
Maceo. He had received a confidential
Information of the proposed movements
of the Cubans, and arranged his forces
accordingly. He had, in addition, re-
ceived detailed description of the
horse Maceo was to ride, as well as OF
caparisons.
The expected battle occurred yester-
day, but o)details of the engagement
are given for publication here.
After the fight, the Spanish troops
made reconnaissance of the grounc
previously held by the Cubans. Here
were found the two corpses, lying to-
gether, and, indeed, almost locked il
the embrace of death. The one body
was that of mulatto, stout man witt
gray, crisp, curling hair, and the othel
that of a slender, dark haired youth
Both men were dressed in white liner
duck suits. When the linen was re
moved from the corpse of the elder o
the two it was found to have underneath
it fine undershirt, with the Initial
'A. NJ" upon it. The pair of blacl
silk socks on this body contained th'
same initials. worked in red ink. Their,
was gold ring on the finger containing
on the inner rim the engraved inscrip
ton:
Antonio Maria.''
A revolver, with an ivory handle AM
marked, together with a small gold
mounted telescope, was also found ol
the body. The head of the younge
mans body was resting upon the bod
of the first. There were found on it
silver watch, an ammunition bag an
several handkerchiefs bearing the inl
tials, ''F. G.''
