CUBSNS STiLLIIOpEFUI
Patriots i'm Havana Refuse 10 Relieve
HP il Dead.

Havana. Dec IL. via Key West. Dec
l2-The Cubans disbelieve Maceo's
death. The evidence is too weak. Zer-
'uchas testimony offers many contra
diciions. He has made different state
mcnts. No faith is placed in declara
tons made by those who surrender. II
is known they will declare ANYTHING to
save life. 1t is publicly declared Maceo
crossed the trocha by sea. Privately
1t is said he crossed 10y the Canas estate
near Mariel. and made bold dash
across the line with few followers
firing on pickets. 1t is added it was
Macco's intention to cross the trocha
ana organize the fGrccs in Havana pro-
vince similar to those in Pinar Del Rio
now perfectly distributed. comprising
10000 men. well armed and proyisioned
and commanded by Rios Rivera.
If this is true. I; will destroy the
rumors in circulation. one story saws
Maceo was left alone in the centre of h,s
STAN and another that Maceo fell. lead
ing the charge.
IMPOSSIBILITIES NOTED.
According to zerthucha's story IT
would have been impossible for Gomez's
son to write pencil note. DECLARING
Macco had been killed. 1t is SURPRISING
Xcrtucha Is ignorant of Maceo's burial
place.
on the whole, all stories of Maceo's
death are confusing. The evidence adj
duced so far is not strong enough to
convince people of Maceo's death. MANY
believe he is still in Pinar Del Rio
Others say his crossing the trocha means
defeat and gives reason for NEcyier TO
boast he pushed him ou; OF The province
and pacified the same.

Cincinnati, o., Dec. 12.-The Scripps-
Mcfea League correspondent at Jack

follows:

the most horrible atrocities ever chroni-
cled in modern warfare.
From the letter II appears that the
Marquis of Ahumeda. who otiiciated as
Captain-General of Cuba during Wey-
ler's absence in the field, sent Il letter
to General Maceo, inviting the Cuban
leader to conference.
MACEO TRUSTED HIM.
"Maceo never for n moment thinking
that treachery was intended, especially
as the invitation came from such n
prominent Spaniard as the MARQUIS of
Ahumeda, immediately returned an an
