Maceo's Death Admitted and Cow
ardIy Murder Charged.

NEW YORK. Dec 12.-Estrada Pal
ma, made the following statement to-
right:
| have received a telegram from my agents
In Jacksonville affirming the news that Gen.
Maceo and his staff came into conflict with
Ahumada, Weyler's lieutenant, and were
murdered. DR.. Zertucha was present. The
news does not surprise me, because the first
reports Of Gen. Maceo's death were so con-

was inclined to believe that the news was
false, but that If Gen. Maceo had really been
killed it was through the assassin's knife.

the balcony of his palace in Havana. seemed
anxious to shun the responsibility of Maceo' S
DEATH That was apparent when he declared
that the victory belonged to Ahumada
1t is possible that his conscience begun to
feel the pangs of remorse. This very act
Of the Spanish governor proves the strength
of the revolution. They cannot crush it by
open warfare. They must resort to the as
sassins knife. They dared not face Maceo,
so they had tc stab him in the back.
After making the foregoing state
uent Dr.. Palma pondered awhile and
then exclaimed In the bitterness Of
anguish: "Oh, where is the chivalry
of which Spain so proudly boasts? The

RED LAKE PINE FRAUDS.
baldwin Moving to Set Aside Pine
Land Sales.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. r.
Maj Baldwin, the Chippewa indians
commissioner, is trying to have the
sale of pine on the Red Lake reserva-
ton, which was made by the govern
ment last July, set aside. He seems to
have caught the ear of Secretary Fran
els and has taken up the cudgel where
he dropped it after several unsuccess-
full efforts to convince Hoke Smith
that everything was wrong on the res
ervation. 1t was through charges pre-
ferred by Baldwin that twenty nine
estimators were discharged, and, al
though it was given out at the time
that their dismissal was rendered nee
essary from lack of funds, it has been
learned that there is about $4,000
still available. Maj. Baldwin makes the
same claim, that the appointment of
estimators was not in accordance with
the act of 1889, relating to the sale Of
pine lands on the reservation, and that
the sale made is therefore Illegal.

INTERCHANGEABLE TICKET
Approved by the Joint Traffic Board
of Managers

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 1.-THE interchange
able mileage ticket which has been camored
for by commercial travellers and many pas
senger officials in Western territory for long
time has become a reality by the formal ap-
proyal of the board of managers of the Joint
Traffic association. The managers have de-
cided to accede to the wishes of majority
of the Western members of the association
and hereafter the 5000 interchangeable ticK>
cts will be good on the lines of the Central
passenger committee to and from Buffalo,
Niagara Falls and Salamanca on the East
bound lines out Of Chicago. The price set
is 500, and the photograph of the purchaser
must appear on each ticket. 1t is hoped by
this method the danger Of manipulation by
scalpers will be greatly minimized.

In official circles it Is not believed that any
diplomatic note will be issued or any action
whatever taken in the reference to Cuba in
the message Of President Cleveland. The
widely circulated statement that the cortes

MACEo's SUCCESSOR.
Gems. Garcia and Rivera Slated for
Promotion.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE succession of
Gen. Calixto Garcia to the lieutenant general
ship of the Cuban insurgents, and of Gen.
Rivera to the command Of the forces in Pinar
del Rio, are fixed upon practically as certain
ties by the Cuban delegation here. Both men
are noted campaigners, and have made strong
records. Garcia is now so years old, and his
achievements in the revolution are history.
and Rivera is like Maceo, a pupil Of the
veteran commander-in-chief, Gomez, and
was his associate during the ten years war,
and, unlike his late companion, Is white. He
is vigorous fighter, and has had excellent
educational training, and is one of the most
highly cultured men on the island. He is
still in the Pinar del Rio province.

ing to This Tnle

KEY WEST. Dec 12.-Numerous bands of
insurgents continue to move in the vicinity
of Havana. Their number is estimated at
between 5000 and 1900. 1t is claimed that
Maceo's friends, after paying liberal sum
of money, were able to bury the insurgent
leader this morning in the Havana cemetery.
The story is to the effect that several of the
warm personal friends of Maceo succeeded
in bringing the body of the insurgent gen
eral on horseback to Havana from Rincon,
near Bejucal. All previous steps were care

CRIMINALS PARDONED.
The President Exercises His Au-
thority to Set Couple Of Of
tenders at Liberty.

Washington, D. Co. Dec. 2S-The
President has pardoned William Jack
son, sentenced October Z, 1895, in Texas
to eighteen months Imprisonment at
hard labor for making counterfeit coin.
He has also pardonef James Burwell,
alias Charles Sherwood, convicted in
July last in Michigan for bringing coun.
terfeit bills into the United States. Bur-
well was sentenced in Canada more than
twenty years ago to seven years impris-
Onment for cOunterfeiting. The de-
tectiyes since his return to the United
States suspected him of further offenSe
of this kind that could not be proven. so
he was arrested, tried and convicted last
July on the same old evidence and for
practically the same Offense for which he
had been punished in Canada. The
President in his endorsement says that
whatever the technical rules of law may
be, he does not think it is fair or just to
punish this convict again for an Offense
so nearly involved in his previous con-
Yiction.
The sentence of three years and six
months Imprisonment, and So fine i'm
posed upon Washington ClaypOle, Jr, IN
Western Pennsylvania in May. 1894, for
passing counterfeit money, has been com
muted to three years actual imprison-
ment. A pardon has been denied to w

IN 1893 10 six years imprisonment for
sending obscene letters through the
mails, the President holding that ''this
cOnvictS crime is of such q nature and
the circumstances related to it are SO
detestable as TO deserve a severe SEN
tence."
A pardon has also been denied in the
case of w. L. Morrison, sentenced in
Southern Mississippi, to $50 fine for

Perhaps old Joseph Blaisdell had never
been prOuder than he was when he saw
his beautiful daughter receiving the
homage of the influential throng at her
New Years reception.
To Ralph Courtney, the leading scion
of wealth, she had never appeared so en-
trancingly beautiful although he had
for months adored her as the perfect
type of womanly loneliness. He had
been surfeited with luxury before she
had crossed the threshold of womanhood.
But he had come to desire old Joseph
BlaisdelFs greatest treasure. Not for a
moment did he doubt that he would,
when he asked for it, win this rare jewel
for his own.

felt a bitter regret when he saw his
friend lead their fair hostess through
the perfumed air toward a quiet nook
where alteration might be softly whis-

Kube Burrows, the noted outlaw and
train robber, for whose dead body the
Southern Express company paid SO large
4 sum, held full sway and robbed at
VIII unHl a few years ago when the
price on his head furnished an incentive
for the avariciOus and daring detective
and man-hunter. In these mountain

The Railroads Estimate.
Louisville, Ky, Dec. 2S.-At the head
quarters of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad company in this city the state
ment is made that the catastrophe re-
suited in twenty dead and eight injured.
This is according to kilograms received
by Supt. of Transportation George Il.
Evans. Mr. Evans maintains that
the wreck is the result of
a carefully planned scheme of
robbers and does not entertain
the idea that it was due to carelesSness
on the part of the division superintend-
ent or subordinates. He said he could
not see how the wreck could have oc-
CURED except as a prearranged affair. as
the trains move over the bridge at a
very slow rate of speed. and it would
take very serious disarrangement of
the rails TO cause the train to jump the
track
1t was reported early last night that
1I5 people had been killed in the wreck.
Mr.. Evans at once secuted the idea He
SAID that there were only two coaches
in the train with a capacity of about
100. The fact that the train was local
and that 1t was Sunday would argue
against such Il number as ITO.
