The war diary of Maceo was also
found In il there is an entry which
says the rebels crossed the trocha on
December 4.
It is concluded from these circum-
stances that Maceo was killed in the
engagement with Major Cirujcdas com
mand. The news Of his death has
caused the greatest kind of n sensation
In Eavlra. The l1yaiists are jubilant,
believing that with the killing of Ma

Though the Spaniards are confident
that Maceo is really dead this time some

For nearly two years there has not

The father of the children, a planter,

after a short trial condemned to death.
The Spanish officers agreed 10 permit

OF the execution and saw the lifeless
Spanish soldiers let her lie where She
