sas City, the headquarters in Iowa will
be at Des Moines with sub-stations at
burlington and Sioux City. 1t is the in
tention Of the Cuban sympathizers in the
United States to extend the Junta from
one section of the country TO the other
overlooking no opportunity or advantage
of advancing the cause of Cuban liberty.
One object of the Junta is to encour-
age influence for the movement looking to
the recognition of the Cuban revolution
lists by this government. There is no
international law against the league as a
body of sympathizers, but sympathy
with the movement being one Of the minor
ideas of the organization as compared
with that of giving substantial and SER
viceable assistance Ito the reyolutionists,
the promoters OF the Junta are operat-
ing with precaution that surrounds
their movements with comparative pro-
lection against possible interference on
the part Of the Federal authorities. The
organizers for the Junta in Missouri are
said to be Senor Cortez Delasino and
Senior Jose Petorez, both native Cubans.
These gentlemen have made frequent
trips to all the larger cities in this State.
The branches in this city, Kansas City
and st. Joe, are the largest in the State
but none of these are yet on a footing
of strength that warrants public action.
Any Cuban resident or American who
will donate something to the liberty fund
may be enrolled as a member. The total
membership in st. Louis is said to be
about / 800 and in the State about 1000.
President j. Reardon, of the Spanish
club says there can be no doubt Of the
existence of the Cuban Junta in Mis-
souri,
BELIEVES MACEO Is NOT DEAD
Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. "a special
to the Citizen from Key West, Fla, says:
'.,nhe correspondents reports from Ha-
vana this evening differ in details in re-
gard to the death OF Maceo. The story
is not thought to be true, but il is believed
to have been sent out by the Spanish gov
ernment to stop action in Congress for the
relief of the insurgents. American cor
respondents sent couriers to the scene OF
the battle, but they were chased back to
the city by Spanish troops. General
Weyler telegraphed from Artemisa to
Havana for re-inforeements on the 1th
instant, stating that he had Maceo hem
med in Two shiploads of troops went
into Havana as the Olivette passed out.

TRAIN HELD UP IN ST. LOUIS
The Express Safe Could Not be Opened
Detectives After the Bandits.

st. Louis, Dec 9.-The Iron Mountain
fast express train, outgoing, was held ur
one mile from the Union station, within
the city limits, tonight at9:30, by masked
men.
The express safe could not be opened
and the bandits fled without booty.
One of the men stood in the ceater Of
the track and waved a red lantern, sgni-
flying that danger was ahead. The
engineer stopped the train and no sooner
had he done so than two masked men
jumped on the engine cab and pointing
revolvers, told him to bold the engine
still On pain of death. Two of the other
robbers made for the express car, while
the remaining two stood guard ontside.
In less than fifteen minutes the whole
thing was over and the conductor hasten
ed TO the nearest telephone and notified
the police.
As soon as the matter was reported
at the Central station every detective
on hand was called into service and
under instructions from Chief of Detec-
tive Desmond, sent out. on the case. The
conductor telephoned description of the
men as near as he could, but owing
to the fact that hey all wore masks it
was but meagre.
The robbers had planned we'll the
job, for within two minutes after they
had disappeared from view and were
lost in the crowds of the city. For bold
ness the robbery has no equal in the
annals Of train hOld-up in Missouri.
Tie two robbers who went to the ex
press car. demanded admittance. Express
Messenger w. r. Egan refused to let them
in. They threatened to kill him If he did
not end this falling, they placed stick
of dynamite al tlfe car door and blew
y to pieces and badly shattered one side
Of the car Fortunately it was through
car, and the money was in a time-loclSed
sqfn.T1anding it useless TO try 10 blow
thA opep@ the robbers jumped off and no
tilted their companions on the engine that
they had failed to get anything. Con
dnctor William Hall came forward to-
find out what was the matter. He was
met by one OF the thieves, who, point
ing a revolver at his head. ordered him
to so back to the train The ROBBERS then
left and engineer William Green started
on at full speed The place where the
robbery occurred was at Bates street
crossing. There is a deep cut there, and
the noise Of the exploding dynamite was
smothered by the cliffs at each side of the
track. The passengers on the train were
ia no way disturbed, an it was half an
hour before anyone realized what had
happened

Washington Dec 9.-Senor De LONE,
the Spanish Minister, received a cable
dispatch from Havana last night saying
in substance that after the engagement
near Mariel on Monday, two bodies were
found on the field, which, from their
clothing and papers are taken to be those
of Maeeo and his young companion.
Senor De Eome declined to discuss the
probability Of the report but he expects
fresh adviees from the government at
Havana soon.
At the Chban quarters her no alarm is
felt at the reported death of the insur-

Diaz Albertini, who is the only member
of the Junta now in the city, expressed
himself in most positive terms that the
story had no basis of truth and was sent
