wonderful career is based upon irforma-

the ten years war. and who has been
closely acquainted with his movements
during the present struggle.
A FAMILY OF PATRIOTS.
Antonio Maoee Is mullato. He was
born at Sandiago de Cuba, July IA, lS4s
His Father was Marcus Maceo and his
mothers maiden name was Mariana
Grajales. Tho elder Maceo owned a
plantation at BaraJegua and kept pack
mules for hire. From this circumstance
the statement has been made that An
tonic Maoeo was driver of mules be-
fore the war. At the beginning of the
TEN YEARS WAR in 1885, the male por-
ton of the Maceo family consisted OF
eleven sons. the youngest being Jose. IA
years of age. The revolution had been In
progress several months and the hfaceo
family had kept aloof from taking part
In the upNsing. One day there appear
ed a band of Spanish guerillas, led by
Captain Compile. This band had no.
thing TO do but commit depredations and
the Maceo plantation was soon in ruins.
The buildings were burned. the mules
stolen and the female members OF tho
family treated in an outrageous manner.
The father called his eleven sons around
him. All were now grown except Jose.
Marcus Maceo eSacted from each q
promise that they would not lay down
their arms until Cuba was free. The
blood OF the Maceo family now stains
the island from one end to- the other.

HIS EARLY MILITARY CAREER.
The military career OF Antonio Maceo
Is singularly brilliant. He was about
Il years of age when he first enlisted
HIS dnuntless bravery led him to take
great risks and during the first twelve
months of service. he received sixteen
OF the twenty-one severe wounds that
marked his body at the close of the Ten
Years War. Within the year he had
been promoted to the position of major
Later at the capture of the town OF
F1-Arriba the Cubans numbered only
300 but led by Maceo, the Spanish sol
diers were driven from the forts. For
this Maceo received the title of colonel.
Soon after he met Brigadier Martinez
Campos at the battle of Ramos and
through q subsequent campaign that
LASTED thirty days. So aggressive was
iMaceo that scarcely day passed that
he did not seek an engagement with
the enemy. Near Monte Oscuro he was
fercely attacked by General Valera at
the head of 1000 Spaniards. The Cuban
leader had about $50 men with scarcely
any arms, and was forced to retreat.
He made u stand at Carobas and met the
combined forces of Valera and Campos
Though driven from the field he did not
order retreat until after terrible
slaughter OF Spaniards in the sweeping
machete charges had taken place Re-
turning to headquarters at Santiago

crushing effect The Cuban Congress

Sir Henry Calcraft.

Sir Henry Calcraft, who died the 9TH
or day, was for many years one OF the
best known and most popular men III
the social life of London. In sketch
of his career The st. James Gazette
saws: "There was famous hangman OF
the name Of Calcraft, and Sir Henry
used to be jocularly known as the Hang
mana title he would laughingly ac-
cept. The position he held in public and
social life may not inaptly be indicated
by recalling the circumstances that his
name was freely canvassed as that OF
Mr.. Delane's successor in the editorshlp
of The Times. He knew nothing OF jour-
nalism in its practical aspects, but he
had an unrivaled knowledge OF the
men and affairs of his time, and 1t was
this fact and the reputation he had ac-
ouired as a man of signal penetration
and soundness of Judgment that led to
the association Of his name with the
editorship. Sir Henry had never dulled
the brightness of his outlook on life by
accepting the responsibilities Of matri-
mopy. He was q confirmed bachelor,
who retained to middle age the gayety
of youth.
