MACEO'S LAST LETTER.
Eulegized General Rivera as a Brave
 and Tireless Soldier

Eulegized General Rivera as Brave
 and Tireless Soldier.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The last let ter that the Cuban. jllnta. in this city received from Maceo curiously con tained an estimate Of the qualities of General Rivera, who. if Maceo has been killed, as is now generally ad- mitted, will succeed to that insurrec tionist leaders command. General Maceo wrote: M
 General Rivera is not only brave, great tactician. He is thorough soi- dier and has had the military advan- tages 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 Pira- del Rio against the Spanish army for ten years if necessary. His ideas of mountain lighting have always met my cordial approval and in those instances where he has been compelled to think and act for himself he has shown cool ness and wisdom and strategic tactics even superior to my own. On several occasions he has converted defeat into victory. In others, when it looked as l if he and his small force were abso- lutely shut in by large army he has escaped without losing a man. In es- l tablishing his post he has picked cut positions that were almost impregna- ble and which at the same time permit 1 ted him an avenue of escape in case l the worst should come.
 "In storing and conceaiirg muni- tions of war and camp equipments he has shown a cunning that at times has made even me laugn. ! believe he could conceal regiment Of horses in side of Spanish army and keep them under a month.
 Much indignation is expressed by 1 the junta over the announcement made
 by ex-United States consul to Car
 denas, S. P. c. Henriques, tbat Gen eral Weyler in gloating over the mur- der of Maceo had given authority to band of 800 negroes to march through the island and pillage everything they
 met in their way.
 Telegrams conveying expressions of condolence and promising to pur- chase powder and arms for q. contin- uance of the fight in Cuba were re- ceived at the junta today from Jack sonville, Dallas, Tampa, Key West, New Orleans, Atlanta, GuayDas, Mex ico and Port Au Prince.

 There were five other delegates from the east who joined the California dei- egation at Ash Fork and rode down with them to Phoenix. They were duly decorated with chrysanthemums by the enthusiastic Californians. The eastern delegates were7 J. C. Abbott, Atwood Collins and Lyman B. Brain erd, all of Hartford, Connecticut; Will bur F. Oliver, of Albuquerque; Captain Carl T. Polfrey, of the U. s. A., now located at Denver, and Fred B. Spear, of Bay City, Michigan MT. Collins is president of the Security company at Hartford, and MT. Oliver is special land agent of the A., T. & s. F. rail- road.
 AS one delegate expressed it, after catching the enthusiasm of the occa- sion: Tt was pretty hard for me to get away, but I'm mighty glad I have come to the congress" In fact, they all seem satisfied with the welcome they have received, and are counting on a profitable and enjoyable time in Phoenix
 The California delegation met last evening at the Hotel Adams with eleven delegates in attendance. c. B. Booth presided and w. F. Burbank acted as secretary. The following were elected to committees: Resolu- tions, w. s. Creighton; credentials, H. F. Gardner; rules and order, J. D.. Schuyler.
 | It was voted as the sense of the del egation that each accredited delegate should have one vote in convention. but that the maximum vote of each state should not exceed twenty.
 Objection was made to the repeal of the desert land act by congress until something is better substituted. and a motion to that effect was carried.
 A report on the Wright act was read and discussed.
 All preparations have been made for the reception to be held tonight at the city hall. The legislative chambers have been handsomely decorated with palms and flowers for the occasion. Governor Franklin and staff will receive at 7:30 o'clock, when the gov ernor will deliver the address of wei come.
 ! The doors of the executive chambers will be thrown open and large crowd can be accommodated
 The public reception will be strictly an informal affair and the ladies are requested to attend in street costumes
 Owing to some misunderstanding the military band of Tucson will not be in attendance at the reception, but ar engagements have been made for the Indian school band to furnish the music.

WASHINGTON Dec. 14.-Mr. H. H. Kohlsaat of Chicago, who since the election has been mentioned as pos sible member of the Mckinley cabi- net, is in the city. MT. Kohlsaat said that he is not looking for cabinet po- sition and could not accept such a place if it were offered to him.

Invented the Luoifer Match.

Who Invented tho lucifor match? Sir
Isaac Holden had the first idea of it in
England and stated it at lecture, but
took out no pntent, and thus lost chance
OF finding n fortune. The jubilee of the
German lucifer match was kept in Sop
tembor, 1882, at Vienna. Three Austrians
were then credited with having invented 1t.
NJ. jean Renaud now says tho lucifer
match Is duo to Charles Sauria, q fellow
student of NJ. Grevy Mt tho lycees of Po-
ligny and Dole. Sauria vainly tried to
obtain 1900 francs to work his invention,
which no communicated. to NJ. Nicolet, tho
professor of chemistry and natural philoso-
ply at tho Dole lycee. Remand often saw
Nicolet uso at his class lectures phosphorus
and sulphur to strike lights. He gavo
Sauria credit for the invention In 1881
Nicolet was sont on Il scientific mission to
Germany. He was instructed to see to
what account chemistry Ind boon turned
in arts and manufacture. There his tour
embraced the industrial cities of Austria
and Hungary. What, asks NJ. Renaud, is
more probable than that he should have
spoken hero of Saurin's lucifcr match? 1t

"THE ISOLATION OF ENeLANp.n

Tho wind Is hushed; the darkness grows:
The fainting moon Is lost in flight;
Death lifts q somber hand and throws
His clouds across the face OF night.
With parted lips and haggard stare,
That strives and strains to pierce the
gloom.
Each nation crouches in it's lair
And, breathles5, waits the coming doom.
Dim, shapeless shadows pass like ghosts;
Along tho trembling earth they feel
Tho distant tramp Of marching hosts
And hear the smothered clash Of steel,
Till, reaching out for friendly hands
TO guido them through tho gloom, they
press
To where one silent flgurd stands
Serene in lofty loneliness
They hurl their taunts, their oaths, their
prayers,
Tho snarl OF greed, tho growl Of hate;
They spit upon the cloak she wearp
Or grasp Its hem to supplicate.
But Still, as though she heard them not,
Hor anxious eyes are fixed MAR
among tho clouds, on one pale spot,
Where family CLEANS single star.
BY that same star sho chose her path
For every night in vanished years;
Though screened by mists of doubt and

Then, glancing ut tho fretful horde
Who call her now to bend tho knee,
She lays her hand upon her sword
And turns her eyes toward tho sea.
