CHILDkEN HONOR McKIN1EY.
Thousands Turn Out, Ware Flags aud
Sing Patriotic Songs.

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 21.-Thi5 was a
lively day for the President-elect. His
callers were more numerous than ever,
and about o'clock in the afternoon there
was a demonstration which in character
and magnitude rivaled some OF the scenes
witnessed in Canton in the closing days
of the campaign. Seven hundred children
from schools on the South Side near where
Major Mckinley is visiting came shortly
before o'clock to call upon him. The
teachers accom- panied the children and
when Major Mckinley appeared on the
porch to bow his acknowledgment the
air rang with cheers and there was a Grim
son flash of waving flags. Nearly all of
the children carried small American flags.
The Girl s. Glee Club from the Hyde Park
School sang America" and the 'Star
Spangled Banner" The cheers and the
fresh young voices lifted in patriotic song
attracted hundreds of adults, and in the
course of fifteen minutes the visit of the
school children was turned into big re-
ception.
The clamor to see Major Mckinley and
shake hands with him became so great
that the people were asked to form in line
and walk through the house. Major Nc
Kinley let them in the reception room
and they went out side door. He shook
hands with more than 5000 persons and
this impromptu reception lasted for more
than an hour. A feature of the crowd was
the large number OF workingmen. Scores
of them at the sound of the singing and
the cheers left their tasks to go and pay
their respects to the President-eleot.
Among MAJOR McKlniey's callers to-day
were Charles G. Dawes and several men,
bers of the Illinois delegation in Con-
gress.

As Usual. the spanish authorities
Proceed Illegally.
HAVANA, CUBA, Dec. 2l.-The civil
trial of Julian Sangnilly. naturalized
American citizen, on charges of con-
spiracy against the Spanish Government,
began at l o'clock this afternoon.
There were FIVE Judges on the bench
and Vice Consul General Springer, who is
acting Consul-General in the absence OF
Fitzhu b Lee, occupied seat near the
Justices.
After the usual preliminarles, counsel
for the defense stated that the tribunal
was illegally constituted, since SIX just
ices should preside and not five, and he
therefore disputed the competency of the
court to hear and decide the case.
He claimed that the prisoner was en-
titled to trial by six Judges, according to
the law ruling in 1921, when the Spanish
protocol was drawn, and that he should
not be tried under the law of 1877. He
made motion to this effect, but it was
overruled.
The defense announced that it would
later protest against the decision.
The taxing OF evidence then began. The
Chief of Police and al inspector were the
first witnesses. The evidence was favor
able to the accused, they declaring they
had no knowledge of Sanguiily ever TAX
ing part in any demonstration.
The defense protested vigorously against
the reading of testimony gwen by Colona.
the recently executed prisoner. holding
that its admission in the present trial was
directly contrary to the law. Sangulliy
testified that he did not write the letters
that were produced in his former trial to
show his connection with the rebellion.
The letters had been subm tied to ex-
perts, and they testified that they were
in the handwriting OF the accused. The
prosecuting attorney reviewed the case,
claiming that the evidence was indis-
putable; that the prisoner hid taken an
important part in the conspiracy to over
throw the Spanish Government in Cuba.
He skillfully presented all the facts that
could be brought to bear against the ac-
cused and asked the to sentence San
gully to life imprisonment.
The court then adjourned until to-
morrow.
La Lucha to-day prints a bitter editorial
on the Cameron resolution. 1t draws a

and 1896 and says that both were inspired
by mercenary motives.

sides of the chamber that Pettigrew, in
charge of the bill, consented to its going
over till after recess.

and loaning of ensigns. flags, ETC.. of the

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 21.-s'I am
able to say on what / consider the best of
authority that General Maceo was muir
dered and not killed in honorable war
fare" said Captain Burley of the steam
ship City of Washington, which arrived In
this port from Havana to-day. He said
he obtained the information from a man
of unquestioned honor and veracity.
81 have it from most reliable source, I"
said Captain Burley to reporter to-day,
''that Maceo was ambushed and assassin
ated. l got my information through a
third party from no less source than the
telegraph operator at the place. Maceo
was killed at 2 clock on the afternoon OF
the Sth.
"He was decoyed under the bluffs and
shot. Major Ciruieda had $50 men IN
readiness at Pupta Bravo. The letter
found on Gomez's son was base forgery,
for the purpose of misleading sentiment.
There were just forty IN the Cuban party
with Maceo. 1t is whispered that two
escaped and that one of these is with Juan
Riviera in the hills. The others were
killed.
''It is from these two that the truth has
come. A Spanish officer told me conf
dentialIy that Maceo was ambushed. 1t
was expected that many desertions would
follow the news of his death. Instead the
Cubans have become doubly determ ined
and have gained numbers.
1.-THE feeling in Havana is intensely
anti-American among the Spanish. The
same Spanish officer told me frankly that
they could and would clean US up at the
first chance.
Relations are strained in business cir
cles. The wealthy classes are leaving or
have left for Progreso or Vera Cruz,
Mexico.
'fIn the last few days the expectation of
favorable action tow-rd the Cubans by
the United States Senate has intensified
Spanish hatred and Cuban exuItation.

THREE B4NkhKs ooSVICrBD.
They Misapplied Funds and Rrecked

DENVER, CoLo., Dec. 21.-The case of
the Government against Charles III. Dow,
president, Sidney G. McClurken, teller of
the defunct Commercial National Bank
and DR.. o. f. Miller of Chicago, charged
with misapplying funds and defrauding
the depositors of the wrecked institution,
came to an end late this afternoon, the
jury returning verdict of guilty against
all three of the defendants. The trial has
consumed exactly seven days in the Fed
eral court and its progress has been
watched with interest by the depositors
and bankers in New York and Chicago.
The Commercial National, owing to the
exiting" of Miller's checks for sum ag-
gregating SIPS, 200, was forced to suspend
during the great panic OF 1898. The ver-
dict will probably place the convicted
men behind prison bars.
