ing that those in the army and navy
who die OF yellow fever shall have a
pension conferred upon their orphans
and widows.

Havana, July 17.-Private advices
give an entirely different ccount of
the death OF Jose Maceo, the insurgent
leader, than the versions which have
heretofore been given out. According
TO this story, after the insurgent colo
mel, Caratagena. had been killed in the
engagement in the Cato Hills, Maceo,
with his staff and escort, put himself
at the head of the forces, and led in a
dash by which he hoped to surprise the
Spaniards. He had, however, made a
serious m~iscalculation. and found him
self confronted by a strong force in a
superior position. Seeing his error and
hoping to escape. Maceo shouted to his
followes. Back! Let us retreat. There
are too many for u.s."
AS he uttered the last word a rifle
ball struck him in the back of the neck,
and passed through his head. emerging
between his eyes.
The volley that killed Jose Maceo al
so slew his friend, DR.. Ravarria, and
several members Of his tan.

LOST TO SPAIN.

New York, July 17.-General Bradley
T. johnson, who had been investigat-
ing affairs in Cuba, returned yesterday
on the Ward line steamship Vigilancia
from Havana. General johnson said
last night:
MY leaving Havana was entirely
voluntary. / received no notice that
my presence was undesired, and 1 left
when 1t suited me-"
Cuba Is lost to SPAIN" he said, re-
garding the struggle in the West In
dian islands. That Spain can never
again subdue Cuba may be regarded as
conclusive" he continued. There is
no possibility of the Spaniards, with
their present or with any other force,
crushing the revolution. The whole
island ia in arms against them. The
ranks Of the insurgents are daily re-
cruiting by the best blood in the island.
The leading social clubs In Santiago de
Cuba and In Havana have been recent
ly broke up, and the members have
gone to the field.
"A large number of the students OF
the University Of Havana have lett
their classes and Joined the rebels.
This shows the earnestness with which
the Cubans regard this struggle. They
will never give up. and the indications
now clearly point to their ultimate sue
cess.

Lincoln. Neb., July 1.-THE city is
crowded with people prepared to wei.
come Hon. w. J. Bryan back to his
home and every residence and build
in the capital city is gaily decorated in
honor Of the occasion. Probably 10, 900
visitors are already here and every
train is bringing enormous crowds.
The visitors are expected to reach
5000 before the presidential candidate
arrives. The republican, state officials,
however, are complaining. While a
n~on-partisan demonstration to Bryan
has been favored by all liberal republic
cans on the part Of the city OF Lincoln,
the state officials reason that they are
being imposed upon and being made to
appear in an unfavorable light before
their constituencies by this unexpected
capture Of the state capitol building Of
Nebraska. Land Commissioner Rus
sell Of the board Of public lands and
buildings is out Of the city. 1t has been
suggested that were he present there
would be filed a vigorous protest
against turning over the state capitol
to aid the political boom OF a presiden-
tial candidate. Tonight it is the con-
census Of opinion-unbiased opinion
that either a hotel or the private resi-
dence of Mr.. Bryan would be the prop
er place for a ~non-partisan reception to
a distinguished Lincoln citizen.
Indignation among republicans
reached a climax when an action of
Adjutant General Barry was brought
to light. He received a telegram from
the adjutant general Of the state of
Georgia asking for the use of the Ne
braska state flag to be used in a rati-
fication of the nomination of Bryan
by the residents Of Atlanta. General
Barry at nee sen the flag. This is the
first time On record that a state flag has
been forwarded to an outside state to
be utilized in a partisan ratification
meeting.

MURDERED HIS AUNT.

Antlers, /. T.. July 17.-Saturday
morning. 20 miles west of here. on Box
chito creek. Willie Walker. a half
breed Choctaw. % years old. became en-
ragged at his aunt, Mrs. Susan Hart.
another half-breed. who is 60 years
old. because she dunned him for s. he
had borrowed from her. and knocked
her in the head with a rock. He then
picked up a large iron pin and crush
ed her head with it, causing instant
death. A small boy tried to interfere,
but Walker choked him until he was
blue in the face. Mrs. Hart was an
aunt Of Senator Joe Everidge and Cir
cult Judge E. NJ. Everidge. Walker
has left the neighborhood. If he is
captured he will likely be lynched.

westward toward Maceo's loops and
this looks like a projected combination
of the two forces.
yellow fever is doing destructive
work among the Spanish lines in the
trocha. 1t is certain to become cpl
demic, though the doctors are fighting
it. The Spanish losses through this
scourge will be frightful. In Havana
the disease has yet made little head
way. although a few cases have de-
veloped in the slums.
The war is not likely. in my opin-
ion. to end soon unless the United
States interferes. The Cubans will not
abandon the fight until the Spaniards
are driven from Cuba. and. if neces-
sary. the island will be practically des-
troyed and the Spaniards starved out.
Such is the spirit of resistance display
ed by the rebels"
General Johnson scouts the idea thai

Pikeville, KY, July 17.-Mary Snod-
grass. a white woman. was hanged
Monday at Coeburn. Va, for the MUIR
der of her 3-weeks-old child. Pikeville
was the home of the S~nodgrass woman,
but she was run out of the country on
ccoun of her immoral character. She
went to Coeburn six months ago. and
had been there but a few days when
she gave birth to a negro girl baby.
The child was cared for by colored peo-
pie until it was 2 weeks old, and then
turned over to her.
Tthe mother tried in various ways to
get some one to tax it. but coud not.
One night a negro woman living next
door to her heard the child screaming,
and went up near the house to find the
cause of the crying. After a while she
noticed an unusual quantity of smoke
issuing from the chimney. and she
rushed in to see what was the matter.
Upon entering the door she found the
child had been placed in the fire, and
the mother was sitting composedly in
a chair pressing it to the flames with
a large shovel.
The negro woman called the neigh
bors, and Mrs. S%nodgrass was arrest
ed. She was lodged in Jail. and the
promise of 4 speedy trial by the officials
kept her from being lynched. She was
tried, convicted and hanged in a short
time. Her parents live in Pike county,
and are highly respectable people. She
was 81 years of age and had deserted
her husband. who was cruel to her.

The Two Raleigh Republican Leaders
Are at Outs--Leak Tells How Jim
Was Pulled Up.
The two leaders of the Republican
party, Rev. r. II. W. Leak, editor OF
the Outlook, and James II. Young,
editor of the Gazette, are not on the
best of terms at present. In the last
issue Of the Outlook, Rev. Leak gives
his opinion of Jim as follows;
Jim Young is the last man to speak
of a man or men being anti-fusionist.
We took that man as it were upon our
shoulders, worked for him day and
night, and by our efforts helped to
elect the now so-caIled Hon. James
Young to the legislature
After Jim was elected he got so
pulled up and conceited that il was inn
possible for us to approach him; oil
course he never had time to talk with
me, and when we, with Col. A. w. Shat
fer, Hon. John Nichols, and a number
of others asked the committee on mag
sitrates not to appoint Democrats;
Jim Young, one Of the committeeman.
called us hangers on and not Republi-
cans, and this same Jim Young went
around to Democratic lawyers and
begged them to give him a recon-
mendation for Harry Roberts, the man
that has been doing the figuring for
the Democrats all these many years.
Jim Young recommended Mr..
Roberts and voted every negro in
Wake county for him, and now he com
plains about Republicans calling upon
the Hon. o. II. Dockery, and calls us
anti-fusionist. We are Republicans.
and not Populists. This same man
Roberts is the man that defeated l.. NJ
Greene. We think that a Republican
who opposed fusion in 1894 is more hon
orable than a man who got our votes
as fusionists and then went to the
legislature, voted with and for Demo
Gratis. We had as well voted for the
Democratic ticket as vote for a man
and ne go and vote for Democrats, one
is directly and the other is indirectly
voting for a Democrat. But this little
jim Young saw fit to do just this
thing"
