Washington. Dec 1.-The following
letter from the secretary of the treas

Sir Replying 10 your favor OF the gath OF

After the reserve has once fallen below
500. COO. 0OO and the issue OF such certificates
has been stopped. II is not certain that
the secretary OF the treasury. especially
In view OF existing conditions. would be
justified IN resuming their reissue. IL has
been tho experience OF the department In
the past that the normal Increase OF the
gold reserve caused by tho exchange OF
paper currency for gold Is checked by the
issue OF gold certificates. and, in fact upon
various occasions considerable amounts OF
gold have been withdrawn by the presenta-
ton OF notes for redemption and Immediate
~ redeposited i'm exchange for gold GER
tlhcates. Moreover. the house or repre-
Hentativos OF the Fifty -thifd congress. az
It's third session, passed a bill discontinu-
ing their issue entirely. and II Is the inten-
ton OF the department to present the sub
ject again at a very early date. As the
amount OF gold reserve ~ largely deter
mined from time 20 time by the available
amount OF paper In circulation II seems
inadvisable, at this time especially. TO N
crease the volume OF that currency by the
issue OF gold certificates.

fury until dusk. when il abated some

More than six inches of snow fell dur

MAoEo's DEATH.
Latest Version OF the killing of tho
Cuban Leader.


Havana, Dee. 17.-Following are the
full details. as CLEANED by careful in
vestigation among those who took part
In the affair of the killing of Maceo:
After crossing the trocha by land, As
has been indicated i'm previous dis
patches, Antonio Maceo and staff, il APP
pears, were encamped in the hills ana
expected the arrival of Cuban reinforce
mcnts under Brig. Gen. Sanchez and
ceiye and escort the needed Pinar del
Rio chief TO the east.
Maj. Cirujeda was totally ignorant OF
Maceo's presence i'm the district. beliey-
ing him to be still west OF the trocha.
But learning that Spanish fort on the
San Pedro had been fired on that morn
ing by insurgents. he started out on \
accommodating tour at the head Of q
remnant OF the San Quentin battalion,
accompanied by force of local guer-
rillas under Capt. Psral. The latter's
men were dressed in a manner very
similar TO that of the insurgent troops
and they marched in the vanguard of
the Spanish column.
Mistaking these for Sanchez van
guard. challenges having been made
and countersigns given satisfactorily,
Maceo, surrounded by the members OF
his staff and handful Of followers, adj
yanced with all confidence to meet his
friends when the guerrllas received
them with a rifle volley. Maceo fell at
the first fire, his men, temporarily dis
concerted with the surprise, retiring by
the TANKS.
Young Gomez, though he had been
previously wounded at the trocha and
still had his arm i'm n sling assisted as
the engagement became general in
dragging his chief to n place of tenn
porary safety on the grass and remained
by his side. until, realizing that they
had been abandoned, Gomez wrote the
note 20 his parents which has been pre-
viously telegraphed and then commit
ted suicide by shooting himself with "A
revolver
After the fight the Spanish scout
Santn Ana. accompanied by the bugler
OF the San Quentin battalion, while re-
connotering the field in quest OF docu-
ments and other objects OF Importance
or value. ran upon the body OF Maceo,
who was still alive. AS the buger
PULLED the ring from his finger he asked
in an agonizcd tone IL they were Span
iards or Cubans. "Spaniards," said the
bugler. and he raised his machete os the
dying chief said: 81 die for Cuba and
independence"
As the knife came down. almost sever
ing the victims head from his body,
the scout. interposing. remarked:
"That man resembles Maceo."
"Impossible." responded the bugler.
"Maceo is In Pinar del Rio"
The scout insisted that az lenst twas
n chief OF some importance, and, tying
the body by the feet 10 his horses tail,
he proceeded. Meanwhile. the insur-
gents. learning that their chiefs body
was in Spanish hands, and being evil
IDENTIFY reinforced. rallied and made n
new attack. and succeeded in recover
ing the body. The Spanish officers, un-
aware OF It's importance. cut IL loose us
an unnecessary impedient.
II thus seems that Mai. Cirujedn did
not know that his forces had encoun-
tered and killed Mnceo until after
reaching Guntao at nightfaH and read
ing the documents.
