reported assassination of General Maceo. Mr.
Smith said: The assassination Of General Maceo
was. if true. brutal and at variance with the
idea of civilized warfare that the Government
officials will be warranted in prompt inVestga-
ton. They have based their treatment OF the
struggle upon the assurance that savagery and
barbarity were not being practised by the Span
ish against the insurgents ] believe il to be the
duty of the State Department to Investigate at
once this grave charge Of betrayal and assassin
ton OF Maceo There is every reason to expect
that Congress will take decided action on the
Cuban question: and that speedily. The For

ton at the end Of the holiday recess. and IT will
be promptly passed by both houses Of Congress
