 ANTONIO MACEO DEAD AGAIN  Another Account of the Valiant
 Leaders End. SON OF GOMEZ ALSO DEAD a isii IO. Both Said to Have Been Killed in the Battle of Punta Brava-Great Rejoicing '" Among the spaniards, .ss

Madrid Dec. S.-The Havana corre- patch to that paper which has caused re- joicing among the people of this city, who take it for granted that the state ments made are true. The correspondent claims that he has personally made an investigation or reports current in Ha- yana of the death of Antonio Maceo, sec ond in command of the rebel army, and the son of Maxine Gomex, the rebel com mander-in-c chief, and found them to be true. In official circles the report Is &C., cepted with reserve. .s ssssss.8E .z
 The correspondent briefly gives the de- tails of the defeat by Spanish force of 200O rebels near Punta Brava, about twelve miles west of Havana The in- surgents' loss is placed at forty killed
 It has already been officially announce 2 ed six times that Antonio Maceo has been killed and there have been rumors in- numerable to the same effect. Hereto fore it has been the custom Of the Span iSh officials in Havana to announce the death of Maceo whenever he defeated the Spaniards either in strategy or in open battle. No recent reports have been received of the death of the Cuban leader, and it is conjectured that the American Correspondents ins Havana -11nowfrg the ways of Spanish officials. placed so little credence in the report that they have not mentioned 1t in their dispatches. The report that Maceo has crossed the trocha and is moving westward to join the forces of Gomez may have prompted the Spanish officials to circulate the state ment that he was dead in order to calm the excitement certain to be caused by the knowledge that the Cuban leader had again outwitted Capt.-Gen. Weyler.
 There was found among the dead rebels the body of a we'll dressed man on which there were documents which led to the belief that the dead man was the son of MaXimo Gomez. Among the papers found was one on which, written with lead pencil, was confession that the writer had committed suicide rather than to abandon the body of Antonio Maceo.
 The war diary of Maceo was also found. te .'"'
 In it there is an entry which says the
Birmingham state herald., 1896-12-09
crossed the trocha on Dec. 4.

rebels crossed the trocha on Dec. 4.
 It is concluded from these circum- stances that Maceo was killed in the en- gagement with Maj. Cirujada's com mand. The news of his death has caused the greatest kind of a. sensation in Ha- yana. The loyalists are jubilant, believ- ing that with the killing of Maceo a blow has been struck at the rebellion that will result in its speedy suppression.
 The rebel sympathlzers though they dare not give public expression to their views, apparently feel very Respondent over the loss of the rebel leader. though 8 considerable part of them place little reliance on the truth of the news. t
 The government officials vouchsafe no information in which to show how Maceo with an overwhelming force operating against him and supposed to be watching his movements, could have eluded the Spanish forces doubled on them, crossed the trocha at what has been supposed to be the strongest part of it and reached the province of Havana without any known interference until he reached a point comparatively close to Havana.
 Though the Spaniards are confident that Maceo is really dead. some of the Cubans believe that the finding of the confession and the diary was due to a trick of the insurgents to deluge the Spanish to the belief that Maceo was killed, while he pursues his plan of reach ing Gomez.
 lne news redcnOu ffdNaUa IdSt HlSnC, but the censor would not permit of its being cabled until this evening.
 Maj. Cirujada is now in this city, and it has been proposed to hold a great dem- onstration in his honor. In the cafes and all other public places the Spanish resi- idents are congratulating each other on what they believe to be death-blow to the rebellion. and it is predicted that Capt.-Gen. Weyler will now have an easy task in defeating the insurgents under Gomez and the minor leaders.
 For nearly two years there has not been as much joy in Havana as there is now, and the speedy establishment of peace is looked for. It is thought that when Gomez learns of the death of his chief lieutenant he will be disposed to treat with Gen. Weyler for a cessation of hostilites.
 There is some ground, nevertheless, for the supposition that the report is not true The officials here declare that while they believe that both Maceo and Gomez's sonssare dead, they lack positive informa tion, and are awaiting confirm ation of the report. This, however, has had no effect on the popular jubilation, and Maj. Ciruja is the hero of the hour.
 It is also reported that the rebel leader Valencia, was killed in a recent engage ment.
 No comments have been published by the local press on President Clevelands s message to congress, and no news has been received as to it's effect in Spain.

AT 0'BRlEN'S.

Punch Robertson and his excellent company of players were greeted with a large and refined audience at matinee yesterday. "The Factory Girl" was the bill and the play delighted all. There was serious, comic and melo-drama lines sufficiently well placed to please and keep up interest in the programme.
 At night "The Buckeye" was the at- traction, and, the weather considered. large audience was present As in the afternoon the play was attractive and the audience was loud in praisng 1t.
 Perhaps the most interesting features of MT. Robertsons performances. aside from the fact that he has a good all round, clever company, is the "Phanto- scope" The instrument operates very sibilarly to the Kaleidoscope" used, by the "Carmen" company, and the pictures are very fine. The dancing girl, as pre- scented at matinee, was so true to nature, in fact so perfect that one imagined the girl herself, before him on the stage. This feature. alone, is worth the admis- sion price.
 Gold King" will be the bill for tonight.
