MACEO'S PHYSICIAN

Surrenders, and Declares the Brave An
 tonic Is Dead-Where Is Weyler?
 Havana, Dec. 10.-Dr. Maxine Zertu- cha, formerly Gen. Antonio Maceo's phy- sician, has surrendered to Col. Tort, at San Felipe, and confirms the reports of the rebel leaders death, which occurred at 2 p. m., December T. in an engagement between the rebels under Maceo and Spanish troops under Maj. Cirujeda. Maceo received one bullet, which pene- trated his head, breaking his jaw, and passing out at the union of the neck and the shoulder, and was also wounded by another shot, which struck him in the stomach. Another attempt was made this morning to discover what dlsposi- tion had been made of the rebel leaders body.
 A delegation of correspondents of the foreign press and reporters of local news papers have gone in the direction of Hoyo Colodado to make investigation in that vicinity, where 1t is believed the body is buried It was rumored in Havana last night that if the body should be found it would be brought to this city.
 A great deal of speculation is being in- dulged here as to the reason why Gen. Weyler encamped near Guanajay yester- day and left the field, taking direction that is not known here. The steamer Magallanes has left here for Mariel, and is at Gen. Weyler's disposal.
 Gen. Bosch has had a serious encounter with party of rebels at Santa Rita, Del Caute, and Manzanillo, disposing of the enemy with a series of cavalry charges and artillery fire. It is believed that the losses of the rebels was very heavy. The Spanish had one man killed, two officers and forty-three privates wounded.

Three Negroes Freeze to Death on
 Drifting Flat Boat.
 Savannah, Ga, Dec. 10.--A special from Albany, Ga., to the Morning News says: A ferry flat containing the corpses of three negro men and two others, nearly dead from cold and exposure. was found this morning on the bank of the Flint river, about ten miles above Albany.
 John w. Burke, a lumber mill man, and fifteen negroes were conveying a ferry boat laden with shingles across the river near Warwick about o'clock last night. The rear guide rope of the flat was drawn too tight, causing the flat to dip water and break the guide ropes MT. Burke and six of the ne- groes chung to the ferry and reached shore. tii$ t+-.-<
 The flat and eight negroes drifted down the river. Three of the negroes jumped overheard. Only. two of them reached shore. while the third went under.
 The two surviving negroes state that the negroes found dead on the fiat this morning froze to death after surviving until sunrise this morning. The flat had drifted down the river about thirty-dve miles. e

SENIOR PALMA HOPEFUL.
Believes Maceo Alive and Near the

Believes Maceo Alive and Near the
 Trocha and Causing Trouble.
 New York, Dec. 10.-Senor Palma, of the Cuban junta, was kept busy today answering questions put to him by nu- merous callers, anxious to learn some thing definite concerning the reported death of the Cuban leader, Maceo.
 Senor Palma said to a reporter: 1T regret that can give you no news to- day. I will say, however, that am more confident than ever that Maceo is alive and well. Though I have not received any word as yet from Cuba, base my belief upon the dispatches from the morn ing papers today. One from Key West, by way of Jacksonville, is very encourag- ing. I believe, as it states. that Maceo is near the trocha and Is causing the en- emy much trouble. If the Spaniards had Maceo's body 1t would have been placed on view long ago, and the fact that this has not been done only strengthens my belief that the great patriot and soldier is alive and that we will hear to that effect within very few days"

NATIONAL DEMOCRATS
To Keep Up Their Organization, But
 Will Not Spread Out.


 Indianapolis, Ind. Dec. 10.-The na- tional executive committee of the nation al democratic party held its first meet ing since the election at the Bates house in this city, this afternoon and in the evening enjoyed a little supper with Henry Watterson as the guest of honor.
 The business of the afternoon was the auditing of the accounts of the commit tee and discussing the question of or ganization during the next four years. The accounts were found to be correct with a balance left in the treasury, not large one, but sufficient to send out a good deal of literature before the next presidential election comes around
 Those present were: w. D. Bynum, chairman; John P. Frenzel, treasurer, and John R. Wilson, of this city, the lat ter holding the proxy of l.. c. Krauthoff, of Kansas City; Henry Watterson, w. B. Haldeman and George M. Davie, all Of Louisvlle Thomas H. Clark of Mont gomery, Ala, holding the proxy of J. M. Faulkner, M R. Spellman, of New Or leans; G. Foster Peabody, of Brooklyn; John P. Hopkins, of Chicago; c. V. Holman, of Rockland, Me-; F. W. M. Cutcheon, of St. Paul. and William B. Given, of Columbia, Pa, holding the proxy of John c. Bullitt, of Philadelphia.
 It was decided to hold the organiza- tion intact and not to make an effort to extend 1t into states where it had no foot ing in the last campaign.
 Various subcommittee were appoint ed and resolutions were adopted on the death of John K. Fellows, of New York, and c. A. Ewing, of Illinois.

IN THIS ENLIGHTENED DAY.

Spaniards Grow Mad With Hilarity Over
 the Report of Maceos Death.
 Madrid, Dec. 10.--Last nights popular manifestations of joy over reports of the death of the rebel leader, Antonio Maceo, An excited crowd gathered in front of the prefecture and town hall, cheering and shouting and the mayor appeared on the balcony of the hall and joined in wi vas for Spain and the Spanish army" The governor of Madrid, who was watch ing the demonstrations, caused the Unit ed States legation to be protected by gen. dermanes. The crowds, after shouting themselves hoarse in front of the town hall, marched to the war office, where they sent deputation to wait upon the minister of war and congratulate him upon the death of Maceo. From the war office they went to the military club, whose building was illuminated. After cheering in front of the military club, the crowd retraced their steps and en- deavored to march to the United States legation, but were prevented by police from doing so. Having been turned back by the police, the mob went to the offices of the Imparcial and the Heraldo, each of which newspaper was cheered wildly. The crowd then went to the residence of the captain-ge general of Ma drid, where guard presented arms to the mob.
 The news of the death of Maceo was received in the provinces with every manifestation of delight each town demonstrating it's joy to the fullest ex- tent of its lung power Tremendous demonstrations were held in Cadiz, Val hncia and other cities and the bourses of Madrid and Barcelonia each went up one point on the strength or the news.
 The struggle of the populace to obtain special editions of newspapers, announc- ing the death of the rebel leader was unparalleled and every newspaper office was besieged until a late hour.
 The cabinet council which was to have been held today has been postponed.

the whole. The paper makes vigorous protest against the aggressive parts of the message. It says, among other things:
 The message is no more or no less than a series of hypotheses. It cannot please Spain, but it does not wrong her.
 It adds that Spaniards cannot admit in- tervention in their own affairs. They have spirit enough to repulse impositions, and will accept nothing degrading or cir cumscribing their right to conduct their own affairs. When their honor is con- cerned they are of the same rank as the people of the most powerful and colossal nation.
 La Union Constitutional says the lec- ture is unpleasant to Spain, but admits that MT. Clevelands language lacks haughtiness when compared to that which he has used towards other powers. It adds that it expects that the message will result favorably to Spain. The tone of the article throughout is rather mild.
 The Diario De La Marina, La Pais and El Commercio make no editorial comment on the message.

WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
Will Go to Work at Once Preparing a
 Tariff Bill.

Tariff Bill.
 Washington, Dec. 10.-The committee on ways and means will go to work at once to prepare tariff bill, This was the conclusion reached by the republican members of the committee at confer- ence held tonight in the rooms of Rep- resentative Grosvenor, called by Char man Dingley, at which all the repupil. cans were present, except Maj. Steele, Of Indiana The conclusion reached was the unanimous expression Of the mem bers present. In the preparation or the bill the committee will give hearings to all persons who are interested, and they will be conducted by the full committee: The first meeting of the committee Will be held at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, at which time, if all the democratic mem bers are present, the details Of the near ings, the time when they shall begin, etc., will be agreed upon In case Judge Turner, of Georgia, the ranking member of the minority of the committee, should not be able to be present on Saturday, the meeting of the full committee will be postponed until such time as he can attend. So far as the members Of the committee know no person has yet been selected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of ex-Speaker Crisp, and the re- publican members of the committee stated tonight that they had heard no names mentioned in connection with the appointment, except that or MT. fTahcls B. Newlands, of Nevada.
 This determination of the republican members. of course, presupposes the call ing of an extra session of congress short ly after the inauguration of President elect Mckinley, but after the adjourn ment of the conference they all dis claimed any direct knowledge upon the subject from the only source which could make the extra session fact. Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, member. of the committee, said that no member had any positive information on the subject but that they all knew that the chances were ten to one an extra session would be

 e4s 0, missioners.
 Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 10.-(Stan Cor respondence.)-It is understood that the governor will, on or before the 18th of December, select the recording secre- tary and watchmen at the capitol. He has determined not to take up for con- sideration the applications for convict inspectors or railroad commissioner un- til after the middle of January. The terms of the present commission and in- spectors do not expire until March 1, and no appointment of convict inspectors will be made until that time. The railroad commissioner, whose appointment will have to be confirmed by the senate will probably be appointed just before the legislature adjourns. about the 20th of February. It is also understood that the governor will give all applicants for convict inspectors notice that every ap- pointee will be expected to give the whole of his time to the service of the state. Many applicants seem to have an idea that their services will only be required some ten or fifteen days in the month, but it is understood the governor will expect every appointee to give six full days in every week.
 The governor will also announce his staff in a few days, probably next Satur- 6av

This applies especially to North Carolina, Florida and Georgia, where con- ditiens have been favorable for the ma turity of the top crop. Many reports say the yields have exceeded expecta- tions owing to the large acreage of this year, and a late and dry fall favoring maturation of the late. crop. Frosts are reported to have done some damage to the top crop in Arkansas, Louisiana Mississippi. Louisiana and Texas. The weather, as general thing, has been ex- ceileat for gathering the crop.

OTHER CROPS.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 10.-The re- turns to the statistician of the depart ment of agriculture for the month of December relate chiefly to the average farm price of the various products of agriculture on the first day of the month.
 The farm price of corn, as indicated, averaged 21.4 against 24.3c last year. Av- craze price of wheat is 72.7 against 50.9 last year; of rye 40.3 against A last year; of oats 1S.6 against 19.9 last year; of buck wheat 39.1 against 45.2 last year; of Irish potatoes 28.7 against 266 last year. Leaf tobacco per pound, cents against 6.9 cents last year; hay per ton, $6.54 against $S.35 last year; cotton, per pound, 6.6 cents against 7.6 cents last year.
 The condition of winter wheat on Dec. 1 averaged for the country 99.5 per cent. against S1.4 in 1895; S9 in 1894, and 91.5 In 1S93
