Maceo'S Last Letter.
Writes To the Cuban Junta Words o
Highest Praise For General Rivera.


New York. Dec. 15.-The last letter that
the Cuban junta i'm this city received
from Gen Antonio Maceo. curiously. con-
tanned an estimate OF the qualities OF
General Ruiz Rivera, who. If Maceo has
been killed, as is now generally admitted,
will succeed To that insurrectionist
leaders command. General Maceo
wrote:
Rivera is not only brave. tireless and
indomitable, but he is a great tactician.
He is a thorough soldier. and has had
military advantages enjoyed by but few
of the men in my command. He knows
the map OF Cuba as well as the oldest
guide, and can hold Pinar del Rio against
the Spanish army for 10 years IL neces-
sary.
His ideas OF mountain fighting have
always met With my cordial approval,
and i'm those instances where he has been
compelled 20 think and act for himself
he has shown coolness. a wisdom and
a strategic talent even superior TO my
own. On several occasions he has con-
yerted defeat into victory. On others,
when IL looked as IL he and a small force
were absolutely shut in by large army,
he has escaped without losing a man.
I'm establishing his post he has picked
cut invariably positions that were al
most impregnable. and which at the
same time permitted him an avenue Of
escape, in case the worst should come 10
the worst. In storing and concealing
munitions Of war and camp equipments
he has shown a cunning that at times
has made me even laugh. / believe he
could conceal a regiment of horses in
side of a Spanish army and keep them
undiscovered month.
"He had great record in the 10-years'
war. and since that time has continued
his military studies and experience. He
was a good organizer and a good dis
ciplinarian. and at the same time Is
very popular with his men. He is what
is called Yankee in his methods, being
very careful of his soldiers. cautious OF
losing life and extremely strict in keep
ing the weapons OF his men i'm the best
possible order 1t is we'll to write you
of these things. because at any moment
/ am liable TO be killed by the enemy, and
some one will have To take my place. IL
IL be Rivera ! am certain you will have a
general OF much ability and greatness"
