NEW YORK, December 9.-Dr. Thomas
Estrada Palma and DR.. J. Castillo of the
Cuban junta in this city refuse to give
credence to the report of the death of Gen.
Antonio Maceo in a recent engagement
with Maj. Cirujeda after crossing the
trccha in the western part of Cuba.
This is the seventh time that the news
of Maceo's death has been circulated with
the semblance of official authority said
Dr. Castillo. Continuing, the doctor said
that Maceo had fallen in conflict whenever
he compelled the Spanish to retreat with
heavy loss of life.
.'If he is dead, his death will mot end the
Contest" said DR.. Castillo, who intimated
that he looked upon the report in the light
of Spanish fake"
Those Of the Cuban sympathizers in the
city who had fiocked to ting junta head

more definite Information as to the truth or

JOHN G. JOHNSON'S TASK.
To Save Senator Dubois Scalp in Ida
no a Hard One

Boise, Idaho. Sept. 4.-John G. John
son, member of the national Democratic
committee, who came to Idaho from his
Kansas home at the instance of Chair
man Jones to arrange, if possible, an
amaIgamation of all the silver forces
so as to let Dubois and other silver Re
publicans in, Notwithstanding the
DenO-POpuliSt fusion excluding Dubois
and his followers, left today for Salt
Lake. He will so from there to Den
yer. Before going he gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
Il came to Idaho by direction of the
Democratic national committee to ar
range, if possible, a more perfect union
of the silver forces now supporting the
Bryan and Sewan ticket in this state
In the selection of the state ticket here
one branch of those forces had not been
included and the silver Republicans,
led by Senator Dubois and other friends
of Mr.. Bryan, have felt it necessary to
nominate a separate ticket. This di-
vision of forces is very unsatisfactory
to the Democratic national committee,
and it is with regret that we see the
evil effects of this condition must fall
on Senator Dubois and other silver Re
publicans who have alienated them
selves from their former support
through their adherence to the great
cause for which Mr. Bryan and our
party stands Among Mr- Bryan's most
active supporters, both here and IN
other states, are thousands of such Re
publicanS, and our committee apprec1-
ates such support so fully that it glad
ly exerts its influence with Democrats
everywhere in favor of the most honor
able and courteous treatment OF such
allies. OF course. any adjustment of
the present condition must come
through the voluntary action of the
Democrats and Populists of the state,
and I am glad to say that the friendly
feeling which I find here leads me to
believe some plan will soon be devised
which will prove entirely satisfactory
TO all concerned. Local Democrats, al
most without exception, are disposed
TO accommodate the national commit
tee in this matter, so far as is possible
and consistent with existing Obliga-
tiOnS"

WORE HIS YELLOW JACKET
Lii Hung Chang Takes in the Sights

Washington, Sept. 4.-Before the
sun rose on the Capital City, Lii Hung
Chang had arisen and was making
ready for a day Of sight seeing. After
some discussion among the suite, the
Chinaman decided to go first to the
capitol. He was accompanied by ex-
Secretary of State Foster and his suite
Lii Hung Chang's party remained at
the capitol less than an hour. The dis
tinguished visitor was conducted to the
Office of the sergeant-of-arms where
he was presented to Colonel R. J.
Bright, ergeant-at-arms.
From this point he was escorted in
succession to the Marble Room, the
presidents room, the senate chamber

da, the congressional library and the
hall of the house of representatives.
these halls, and when he had rested for
a few minutes in the house, the vice
roy demanded to be taken to his car
riage in order not to be late at an en-
gagement which he had made with the
Chinese minister
Ex-Secretary Foster who had acted
as guide during the tour of the capitol
made an effort to prevail upon Ii to
visit the new library building, telling
him that it was the finest building in
the city.
rs it finished?' Lii asked, and when
told that it was not, he declined to
make the inspection. He appeared to
take more interest in Librarian Spot
ford than in his books and spent very
little time in the old library.
Mr.. Spofford when presented told his
visitor that while the library contained
$50, 900 books. there were about 500 Chi
nese works on its shelves.
How old are you?" he asked Mr..
Spoford, and upon being told the Ii
brarian's age, he saio:
You have many books in your head -
More out of it," responded Mr.. Spot
ford, to which the Chinese dignitary
replied with deprecatory gesture which
required no Interpretation.
Earl Ii gave a great deal of attention
to the life size paintings of Washing
ton. He expressed a desire to ascend
the Washington monument, asking if
the air was good and if there was an
elevator.
Ii wore his famous yellow jacket dur
ing the tour and was followed by his
personal attendants in the order of
their rank.
From the capitol the party drove to
the residence OF the Chinese minister.

Views.

er Cleveland.
As Near As He Can Make
Them.

W. c. Perry has at last found out
what kind of a Democrat he is. He is
a gold Democrat.
He has been at work for the past two
weeks preparing a letter to the Demo-
cratic state central committee setting
forth his views and looking up the rec
ord of Jefferson, Jackson and other
leading Democrats in order to prove
that his views are right and in com
posing a letter telling all about it.
While he was composing the letter
the Indianapolis convention was in ses-
sion and it was a strong administration
gathering. It has evidently had an in
huence in bringing him out.
Mr.. Perry has so far held aIoof from
politics this year. He did not attend
the Hutchinson convention. It was an
nounced by Eugene Hagan and Sam
Kimble that Perry would be at the To-
peka Gold Democratic convention. Mr.
Perry did not show up at Topeka, how
ever, and wear a yellow badge. The
gold Democrats concluded that it was
about time for Mr.. Perry declare him
self.
Before they left for indianapolis some
of the gold men got together and con-
cluded that some gold Democrat would
make very good district attorney. Ac-
er their return from Indianapolis Mr.
Perry had his ear to the ground. He
saw the Kansas delegation leave. he
watched the train till it went round the
bend He rushed to his office locked
the door and began to write
The result is that he has come out for
the gold standard.

Although the prediction sent out to-

The Big Watkins Mortgage
Company at Lawrence
Placed In the Hands of ReceiV-
ers Today.
LIABILITIES VERY BIZ
Reach the Enormous Sum of
$4,25O,OOO.
More e'Investments' That Van
ish Into Thin Air.

The J. B. Watkins Land & Mortgage
company of Lawrence, the largest con
Germ of the kind in Kansas, was placed
in the hands of receivers this morning
by United States District Judge F'os-
ter. The liabilities amount to the enor-
nous sum of "a, $50. 600 which are all in
debenture bonds sold to eastern and
foreign capitalists.
Judge Foster appointed NJ. Summer
field and J. B. Watkins of Lawrence,
and John F. Switzer of Topeka as re-
ceivers and fixed their individual bonds
at $40, 600.
Samuel Bishop of Lawrence, who is
attorney for the Watkins company says
that the assets will almost cover the
liabilities. The assets consist Of farms
and farm mortgages in Kansas, Texas,
Nebraska and Iowa.
The receivers were appointed on ap-
plication of J. G. SlOnecker, acting for
the Girard Life Insurance Annuity &
Trust company of Philadelphia which
holds $48. 900 of the debenture bonds for
the estate of Wistar Morris
The interest on the bonds has been
in default since 1895 and it was this
fact that led to the demand for receiv-
ers. This company has had a checker
ed existence. About eight years ago 1t
failed and was placed in the hands of
receivers. 1t struggled along under
their control issuing debenture bonds
which were sold to eastern people and
ceivers hands three years ago and re
sumed business under it's old name with
J. B. Watkins as president.
J. B. Watkins, president of the com
pany is considered one of the wealth.
lest men in Kansas and is the principal
owner of the Kansas City, Watkins &
Gulf railroad in Texas, it has been
suspected for sometime that he had de-
signs upon 2 seat in the United States
senate His company has done an
enormous business and that business
~I..T.~4
at different periods. How the money
was spent that was received from the
sale of bonds can be answered only by
the managers of the company.
The outcome of the present receiver
ship cannot be told. It is probable that
the company will never be reorganized
and that in q year OF two the business
viii be closed up.
Mr.. Switzer, the receiver appointed
from Topeka is a well known attorney
who has had a large experience with
mortgage companies. Mr.. Summerfield
is an attorney at Lawrence and Mr..
Watkins is president of the company.
