people to hear that Sub-treasurer
Fitzpatrick has received from
Washington advices to pay to our
sugar producers the bounty claims
amounting to S4,5OO,OOO, the ell
tire sum due the planters of this
State. This enormous sum of
money will be paid out by Capt.
Fitzpatrick within the next two or
three days and the effect will be
to relieve the money stringency
and restore confidence in business
circles.
Nearly all of the 81, 100000 will
find it's way into the local channels
cf trade and all lines of business
will be so benefited by it that the
fears of a panic which may exist
here will be dispelled and there
will follow such u general revival
of trade as to give promise of a
prosperous fall and winter. Capt.
Fitzpatrick has in the sub-treasury
surplus amble to cover the full
amount of the bounty due the
planters and the claims will be
paid as fast as they are presented
by the holders.

day. Little doubt Is entertained as to the
passage Of the measure, and as 1t has al

agreed to the house amendments to the

by Mr.. Call requested the president to de.

NEW YORK, Dec 15.-The New York
World correspondent at Havana sends q
signed statement from General Weyler on
Maceo's death. General Weyler says:
"Maceo died as result of the feeble state
In which he found the insurgent bands in
Havana To reorganize those bands he
put himself at their head, and for this he
died, with part Of the staff accompanying
him. In the same manner have died many
generals In all the wars over the world.
Maceo was not killed in an ambush. My
assertion can be proved by the fact that
the Spanish column which fought against
his forces had to maintain itself against
the fire of the insurgents and the insurg-
ents were strong enough in number to re-
take the bodies Of Maceo and the son Of
Maxine Gomez, which were carried away
from the field"
