important chief of the last revolution.
Two of his more important battles in
the former war were those of Dema-
jagua, in Holguin, and La Galleta, in
which he defeated Gen. Martinez Cam
pos. His campaign at Baracoa was also
very brilliant. In 1878 he had his
greatest triumph at San Ulpiano,
where the Spanish column of San
Quintin had to retire before Maceo,
leaving 100 dead on the field. In that
action the Spanish were commanded by
Fidel Santocildes, the same one who
was killed in this war by Maceo's forces
at the battle of Peralejo.
When the peace of Zanjon was ar
ranged, Maceo did not like to agree to
any treaty with Spain. He continued
fighting two months more. Gen. Mar
tinez Campos, under the date of March
10, 1873, wrote thus to the prime minis
ter, Canovas de Castillo:
ut is very difficult to arrange the
peace in Santiago de Cuba, where An
tonic Maceo rules. He was peasant,
and is now a general His ambition is
enormous, his courage great, his pres
tige immense among his countrymen.
He is a man of high natural talent, and
for him nothing could be done, notwith-
standing the wishes of the Cuban gov
eminent. He has convinced Vicente
Garcia that to yield is dishonor."
Maceo was compelled to leave Cuba,
but he did not sign the peace. He came
to the United States, and afterward
went to South America, conspiring al
ways against Spain. In 1890 he tried
to renew the revolution in Cuba, but
unsuccessfully. In 1894 he was at
tackled at Costa Rica by group of Span
iards as he was leaving a theater. He
was dangerously wounded, but he killed
one of his opponents. In March, 1895,
he landed in Cuba again, followed some
days by Marti and Gomez. His life
since is well known to American read
ers. At the battle of Peralejo, by de-
feating Spain's first general, he added
a page of glory to his biography.
Iobita, Nal TEMPO, Sac del Indio, Can
delaria, are his most brilliant actions
after Peralejo, on account of his won
derful two invasions of Pinar del Rio,
coming from Santiago de Cuba the first
time, and the second from Las Villas, as
reported by his staff chief, Brigadier
Miro, was published few days ago by
the Sun. Gen. Weyler is now very anx-
ious to catch him passing the military
wall the Spanish have established from
Mariel to MaiaRa, but the Cubans are

GEN. ANTONIO MACEO.
The Remarkable Career Of the
Famous Cuban Chieftain.
Five of His Brothers Died In the Cause
of Freedom and He Himself Has
Been Wounded No Less Than
Twonty-Three Times.

Jose Antonio Maceo, the Cuban gen.
eral, was born at Santiago de Cuba,
July IA, 184s. His parents were Marcos
Maceo and Mariana Grajales, mulattoes
of that city, and well esteemed for
their honesty and intelligence.
Maceo's mother was married twice. By
her first marriage with N. Reglieiferos,
she had four sons, Felipe, Manuel, Fer
min and Gusto. The three latter died
on the field of battle, fighting against
Spain during the last war. Felipe was
so seriously wounded by the Spanish
that he is now an invalid. BY her second
marriage Mariana Grajales had seven
sons, including Jose Antonio the elder,
Jose, Rafael, Miguel, Julio and Tomas.
Jose was during the revolution of 1868
one of the bravest Cuban leaders, and
is now major general in the Cuban
army, well known since the fierce bat
tie of Sac DEF Indio, which he won
from Gen. Canella. Rafael was seri-
ously wounded in the last war and
he died in exile from Cuba. Miguel was
killed in the battle of Nuevitas. Julio
was killed in the encounter at Ell Nuevo
Mundo, and Tomas, like Felipe, is now
an invalid on account of his wounds.
Hatred of Spain and the Spanish is,
therefore, a traditional feeling among
the family of Maceo.
Maceo himself was wounded % times
by the Spanish troops. His chest is
pierced through and through, and it
is a source of wonder for every physi-
clan who has examined him how he
can live. A wound in the chest prevents
him from speaking very loud. His
voice is so low that it is necessary to
approach him closely to understand
what he says.
When the war Of 1865 began Maceo
was working in the country as a peas
ant, employed in a farm. He Joined,
with his brothers, the rebel ranks, and
was admitted as a soldier. By his
bravery he reached the rank of major
general, and, after Gomez, was the most

SOMETHING IN LUCK.
A Drunken Insurance Agent Cancelled
His Policies and Saved the Firm
100000.

~SNSlSSN'
Thot there is some virtue in luck
is evidenced by the following mar
rative related by well known fire
insurance agent, who vouches for
it having actually occurred:
Travelling in the state Of Flori.
da in 1892 he CHANGED to meet in
one of the small towns, near Jack.
sonville, a brother insurance agent,
with whom he was well acquainted ;
the latter had been on a protrscted
spree for several days and had not
reported to his agency, by whom
he was employed, for nearly a
week.
"Look here" said the gentle
man of sober habits, "you will
certainly lose your position if pou
keep this up. Go home and cancel
several policies in your town to
show your employers that you have
been doing something for their in
terest."
With considerable OF jag
aboard he forthwith took the first
train for home, arriving there and
acting on the advice OF his friend,
and while still under the influence
of his protracted spree, he can
celled nearly every policy his
agency carried in the city OF Jack.
sonville, Florida, and late in the
evening reported what he had done
to his employers. They. Of course,
were much surprised at the action
of their representative and before
they could proceed to verify the
mistakes made by their unsobsr
employee, the fire bells announced
that an immense confiagration
was fast eating up the bust
ness portion of Jacksonville
The fire spread and the town was
nearly eaten up by the flames.
1t was afterward discovered that
this inebriate had saved the COM
panies his agency represented, up
ward OF 100000. Sufficient to say
that he was handsomely remem.
bered for deed, which had it
turned out otherwise, would have
lost him his position and disgraced
him forever.
Who will say there is nothing in
luck?

THE REIGN OF LOVE.
We Seem to Be as Great Barbarians To
day as Ever.


Were England to fall from her high
estate, to lose her prominence among
the nations of the world, to sink to the
rank of secondrate power, not only
would our own liberty be grievously
impaired, but the cause of liberty
throughout the world would receive a
deadly wound. In approaching the
question it is essentially necessary to
clear ones mind of that sicBly senti-
mentality, that optimistic cant of
"humanitarianism," as it is called,
which is SO unpleasant a sign of the
times. WAR and hate" have not retired
from the world to make room for men,
and for nations of men. Yes, and for
fruitful strifes and rivalries of peace"
The struggle for existence is still the
law for men and for the nations of men.
Yes, and will continue to be so for gen.
erations far beyond those of which we
need take account. Human nature may
be transformed in an indefinitely re-
mote future. So many leonine nature.
But in this epoch of the world wherein
we have to live and act, if the lion lies
down at all with the lamb, it is, as sgd.
ney Smith said, with the lamb in his
stomach. And if men forsake the use
of swords and spears it assuredly is not
to convert them into plowshares and
pruning hooks, but to substitute ritied
cannon for those antique instruments
of slaughter now found ineffectively
murderous.
Surely never was the aspect of Europe
), threatening as it is at the present
hour. Standing armies of a vastness
hitherto undreamed of confront one an.
other. The frontiers of every country
are embattled. Railways are converted
into military roads. The physical
science is ransacked for engines of car
mage. The whole continent is an i'm
mense parade ground, destined-who
can say how soon?-to become a vast
battlefield. At such a time, who but 9
tool or a scoundrel would promise Sc
curity to this country, SO obnoxious to
the jealousy, so attractive to the cupidi'
ty of her neighbors, save on the eondi.
ton that she can vindicate it by arms p

 The weather has generally been favorable for growth of all crops, but in sose localities the showers have been so frequent as to interfere with cultivation, and in consequence there is some complaint of cotton and corn being grassy. On the oth- CT hand, rain is much needed over parts of the southern section of the State where the dronth remains unbroken. Generally, however, cotton and corn are a good stand, healthy and sturdy growth and growing nicely. Cotton is form ing squares over parts of the State. and early corn is tasseling.
 Wheat and oats are improved, the preceding drouth has injured these crops seriously. Harvesting will be- gin in about ten days.
 Irish potatoes are fine over the east and central parts of the State and are about ready for harvest. while in the west portions they have been injured by drought.
