 Bryan Last Year.

FRANKFORT, Dec. 12-The court of appeals today reaffirmed the decis- ion of the lower court of Newport, Kentucky, in sentencing Alonzo Wal ling to be hanged as an accomplice of Scott Jackson in the murder of Pearl Bryan last June.

WASENSNARED TO HIS DEATH
Maceo Was Apparently a Vic tim of Treacnery.
Traitor Consplred With Weyler to Arrange an Armistice, and From Ambush the Spaniards Murdered Macao and His Men.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec 12- The Citizen tomorrow will contain the following, relative to the death of An tonic Maceo
 Justo Carillo, a well-known Cuban of this city, brother of the Cuban gen. eral, Carillo, has received the follow ing letter from a trustworthy cores pendent in Havana concerning the re- ports of the death Of Antonio Maceo, showing that he was killed by treach- cry:
 Havana, Dec. g.
 Dear Friend Justo: Our brave general, Antonio Maceo, and the greater part of his staff have been murdered by the Spaniards. The Spanish major, Cirujeda, acted the part of an assassin with Dr. Maximo Zertucha as an assistant in the horrid drama.
 "Convinced that notwithstanding his enormous army, he could do noth- ing against our gallant leader, who had so repeatedly defeated the Span ish generals in Pinar del Rio, Weyler conceived the idea of appeasing his beastly instincts by cold-blooded mur- der and making the best of the secret relations between Dr. Zertucha and the Marquis of Ahumada, he planned with the latter his hellish scheme.
 "Weyler took the field and in his absence Ahumada proposed through Zertucha a conference with Maceo, to take place at certain province of Havana, with the view of arranging plans for a cessation of hostilities. The basis was to be Cubas indepen- dence and a monetary indemnity to Spain, together with certain advan- tages that should be agreed upon for Spanish commerce and Spanish capi- tai invested there.
 ''To carry out the plan the agree ment was that orders should be given to detachments of troops stationed on the trocha on the section between Mariel and Guanajato to allow Maceo ! with his staff to pass the military line unmolested
 ''The conditions and place of meet ing having been agreed upon, Maceo crossed the trocha over the road to Guanajato, without being molested by the forts, but as soon as he arrived at the place decided upon, he and his l party were greeted by tremendous l volley from the troops under Major Cirujeda, who lay conveniently in am- bush. Most of the officers on his staff 1 fell with General Maceo. Zertucha is l alive because he was aware of the scheme and remained in the rear.
 ''The Spaniards know where the bodies are, but are bent on feigning | ignorance to blot out the vestiges of the crime
 Havana and all Spain are rejoicing because, in their stupidity, they hope the war may end with the death of this leader.
 Far from it. The spirit of the Cubans has grown more ardent and to- | day they are resolved to make every sacrifice before surrendering their arms to their relentless tyrants'

In connection with the treasury portfolio there is a marked revival of talk about Representative Dingley. MT. Dingley possesses a large fund of useful information upon all subjects which are likely to come before a sec retary of the treasury during the next four years. With the possible excep- tion of Senator Allison, none other has been suggested for the place who has so great familiarity with the money question and the sources of in come and the expenditures of the gov ernment as MT. Dingley. He is studi- ous, and his integrity is above suspic- ion. Republicans of New England could not be otherwise than thorough ly satisfied, it is said, by such an ap- pointment, and although MT. Dingley is desirous of standing at the head o1 the ways and means committee, whicf shall give to the country satisfactory tariff measure, yet a cabinet office is an honor he could not we'll decline.

did not believe that war would he the re-
suit Of such a declaration. There would
be no occasion for 1t, for in taking this
step We should be doing nothing that we
ought not to do. On the contrary this
country had been very slow in doing what
it ought to do, in the proper treatment Of
the struggling patriots In Cuba.
Il respect Spain,' he concluded. "Centu-
rles ago she was the most powerful coun-
try in Europe. She controlled not only the
peninsula, but the Netherlands and vast
possessions in the new world. All her

the bill appropriating s27OO to alter certain

Great Falls Water Rights.
The District committee of the Senate this
afternoon gave hearing to Col. George B.
Elliot. retired. on the subject of the bill
providing for the taking of all the water
rights at Great Falls by the government,
now under consideration in committee. Col.
Elliot has had long experience in this line
and he gave the committee some valuable
information ralating to the bill, which is
now practically in shape for favorable
report to the Senate. The committee has
great faith in Col Elliot's Judgment in all
such matters, and his strong recommended
ton in favor of the taking of all the water
right to the falls has practically insured
at least a favorable report from the COM
mttee on this measure, if not a fayora Bile
action by the Senate.

The annual meeting of New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church was held last night
and was largely attended. The report of
the session was presented by Mr.. S. L.

and financial condition of affairs. The net

ending February 90 was 81; total active
membership at that date, 1,234 The total
amount contributed BY members of the
church to all objects Was nearly $1,000. an
increase of aboutdS2, 900 over the contribu-
tons Of the previeIs YEAR. All the agencies

showing an improvement IN both respects:
The trustees whose terms had expired
were reelected.
The most interesting feature of the meet
ing was the consideration OF the question
of changing the form Of the musical part
of the worship. At present, the consrega-
ton is led by precentor; desire had been
expressed that choir and leader should
be substituted, and upon that the men,
bers of the session were equally divided,
and there was considerable opposition to
the change in the congregation. The mat
ter was referred to the congregation, and
Mr.. Justice Harlan proposed an amendment
to the bylaws, the effect of which, if
adopted, would be to instruct the session
to make the change. This was discussed
for some time. and finally adopted by a
vote of 9S to 40. It is not known when the
session will authorize the change to be
made.
