Caused q Sensation in Havana.

The news that Antonio Maceo had
met his end caused the greatest sensa-
ton III Havana and was deemed very
encouraging to the Spanish cause.
Since the famous raid of the Cubans
across the whole of the island last year,
when Maceo invaded Pinar del Rio
while Gomez returned to the eastern
provinces, the mulatto general has held
his W in the western province against
the utmost efforts of the Spaniards to
dislodge him. He transferred the
whole seat of war from the east to the
west, and while his enemies claimed he
had run into a trap, and built a strong
trOcha across the island to keep him
there, he continued his interchangeable
campaign and consistently claimed al
ways that he could cross the trocha
when he wished and effect a junction
with Gomez IN the east.
The diary of Maceo's operations.
found with the body, says that Maceo
himself was wounded before crossing
the trocha in a skirmish at Veieranom
Dec. 3.
The afternoon papers are out with
extras seeming to confirm the report of
the death OF General Maceo.

The News at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The reported
death of Antonio Maceo is not entirely
credited here. Time and again reports
have been received from Cuba of his
defeat and rout, his death in action or
his suicide, always to be refuteG by his
later activities. There is no doubt that
many people will doubt the anthem

death, though no previous report has

the insurgent leader, passed the mill.
tary line of Pinar del Rio on Friday
last near Mariel, the port at its north

There was much excitement here
when it became generally known that
Maceo had crossed the military line
with, it is understood, a strong force of
insurgents, especially when coupled
with the fighting between Spanish
troops and insurgents close to this city.

are insolvent, she asks for $3.50 damages,
together with an injunction restraining
the defendants from future trespass on
the grounds.
The president OF the Sportsmen's Pro-
tective Association of this City, when
asked If his association would interest
itself in behalf of the defendants, said that
be would certainly instruct the attorneys
engaged by the association to defend any
Of its members, but that he did not believe
IN fighting the battles of sportsmen who
were in no wise connected with the asso-
citation.

case is exactly similar 10 the one which
was decided recently in the Superior Court
OF Solano County, and I have every reason

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
W. A. Morrison Reads an Ex.
hauStive Essay On That
Document.
The Doctrine as Understood To-Day
Is More Comprehensive Than
Monroe Declared.

| a. f. Morrison, under the auspices OF
! the Mechanics Institute, read an eIhaus-
| tive and interesting essay on the Monroe
| doctrine last evening.
1.-THE Monroe doctrine" said he, "as it
| is understood to-day, is something different
| from what it was at the time of its declara-
ton by President Monroe. The Monroe
declaration, aside from the political events
that called it forth, was the mbod iment
OF a National sentiment which had grown
and developed among our people. But
the Monroe doctrine as it is understood to-
day is much more comprehensive than
the simple declaration made by Monroe.
1t represents larger growth and further
development.
what hat doctrine Is has never been
authoritatively defined. Our understand
ing OF what it is and its scope must be
gathered from a history OF our country
and the declarations of our Presidents and
other distinguished statesmen as prece-
dents.
Gas in the case ofthe Balance of Power
with Europe, we know tina. our Nation be-
Heves that the maintenance OF the Monroe
doctrine is necessary to our safety and
welfare, and like the Balance of Power
tic, and doubtless the scope of the asser-
ton will, in a large measure, depend upon
the circum stances under which II may be
invoked.
at will be seen, therefore, that an in
telligent understanding of this doctrine
must be derived from a review OF the
events which constitute its history"
The speaker proceeded to give COM
plete and prehensive history OF the
doctrine from its incipiency to the present
day, dwelling upon ali those events in
National affairs that have seemed to re-
pudiate, abandon or maintain 1t.
1.-The declaration OF Monroe" continued
he, Ibid not mark any course OF conduct
| to be pursued, but merely asserted that
| the interposition of the kind mentioned
would be considered as dangerous TO our
peace and safety and as manifestation OF
an unfriendly disposition toward the
| United States.
This doctrine has never been Endorsed
by any resolution or act Of Congress, but
still remains the declaration of President
and his cabinet.
Nevertheless it is an eminentIy proper
anG patriotic doctrine, and as such has
been Endorsed by the people of the United
States, and needs no other sanction. The
people, not Congress, rule this country,
What the remedy should be for foreign
interposition tue doctrine does not pre-
tend 10 state.
THE doctrine does not contemplate
forcible intervention by the United States
in any legitimate contest, but it will not
permit any such contest to result in the
increase OF European power or influence
On this continent. nor in the overthrow of
any existing government, nor in the estab-
hshment OF protectorate over it, nor in
the exercise of any direct control over its
policy or institutions. Further than this
the doctrine does not CO."

in my path by British explorers and off,

q whole, but l have my doubts about the
correctness OF the position taken by the
United States upon the VenezueIa ques-
ton.
The Monroe doctrine is correct as q
principle, but its application in this case
is, in my opinion, not clear. I cannot now
go into details, but from what l know I
feel that the Presidents Arbitration Com

demonstrating that the British are in

Before doing so we will close out
our immense surplus stock at
less than factory prices.
There is only one way to make
a success of Clearance Sale,
and that is to mark down all the
goods to be closed out to hall the
price.
The people "catch on" very
quickly when they can buy shoes
for half the regular price. The
prices of all our shoes will be
marked in plain figures to show
the enormous reductions during
this clearance sale.
Bear in mind you have moth
ing to lose, for if shoes are not as
re presented return them and we
will refund the money.
We cam OF occupy space to
quote a full price list; in fact,
prices will cut no figure during
this clearance sale.
Our object is to close out the
surplus OF our immense stock in
order to keep our factory running
while others are closed.
