IN OPEN BATTLE.
MaceO Assassination Story Again
Officially Denied.

WASHINGTON, Dec 15.-The fol-
lowing dispatch from the Spanish min
lister of foreign affairs in regard to
the death Of Gen. Maceo, received at
Minister De Lone tonight:
Maceo's death took place in loyal fight at
Punta Brava and was caused by our soldiers
bullets. This is evidently proved by the
letter written by the son of Gomez, in which
he states that he killed himself in order not
to abandon the body of his general. The
handwriting of the letter has been verified
and also every detail Of the fight, time and
circumstances when Maceo and the son of
Gomez were wounded. All these details have
been published in Europe by kilograms from
both Spanish and foreign correspondents.
Mr.. DuBoisce, the secretary of the
legation, speaking for the minister
said tonight that the officials of the
legation hoped to discover the origin
of the report of Maceo's assassination
and to trace it to a certain Cuban
resident Of Jacksonville. Florida.

Especial to the Globe.
| FARGO, N. D., Dec. 15.-The Cass
county members Of the North Dakota
legislature were in conference here to-
day. The meeting was held ostensibly
to discuss legislation desired at the
coming session. A committee of attor-
neys was delegated to investigate and
prepare a report to lay before future
meeting Of the delegation. The sena-
torial fight was brought UP and res
olution to vote as unit for Cass
county man for United States senator
ty- man for a United States senator
was adopted. No attempt was made to
instruct for any one candidate. Cass
county has four aspirants, Col w. F..
Ball, Representative o. w. Francis, B..
F. Spaulding and State Senator Hanna.
The last two named are not regarded
as strong candidates, the county being
apparently divided between Col. Bail
and Mr.. Francis. Outside Of Cass
county Mr.. Ball would be liable to car
ry more strength than Mr.. Francis
and it is believed before the legisla-
ture convenes that the delegation will
unite in support of Ball.

Mr.. Butord Withdraws.

To the Voters of the Western District
Of Iron County: After having made a
thorough canvass of the district 1 find
that to continue in the race will cause
SO much party strife and personal feel
ing that it will in all probability cause
the defeat of the Democratic nominee
at the general election in November.
Judge Meyer and myself have con-
suited and canvassed the subject
thoroughly. and have concluded that
it will be best for the peace and har-
mony of the party for one of US to
withdraw from the race; and as Judge
Meyer is the present incumbent, and
is better posted in the business OF the
county, l hereby withdraw my name
as candidate for Judge of the Wes-
tern District, and take this means of
thanking my friends who have stuck
to me SO nobly, and will remember
them in the future.
