ceo's army, and within twenty four
hours the truth win bc known Men
who have gone outside the city in
search Of information have been turned
back with threats. No news has been
received from any section of the Pinar

KEY WEsT, Fla. Dee lit is
learned positively that the report Of
the deaths OF Maceo and young Gomez
is false. Both are believed to be near
Mariel. while Wevlcr is near san Chris
tobal searching for Maceo. 1t is
thought the latter will cooperate with
Gomez and then an advance on Havana
is looked for.
HAVANA, Dec. l1.-Doubt as TO the
fate Of General Antonio Macco would
seem TO have been removed to-day,
when DR.. Maxim Zertueha, who was
the personal physician of General
Maceo, surrendered to Colonel Tort,
the Spanish commander at San Felipe,
this province, and confirmed the state
ment that Maceo was killed December
2 near Punta Bravo in an engagement
between the insurgents and Spanish
column commanded by Major Cirujeda.
Dr. Zertucha said that Maceo was first
shot in the chin, the bullet breaking
his jaw and passing out near the neck
and shoulders. \ second bullet
wounded him in the abdomen.

written in pencil which was found on
the body of Francisco Gomez:

THE oLYMPIAN FRAcAs.
S. f. Hughes and Philip Wand Severely
Rebuked by Judge Campbell for
Their Foul Language.

Samuel F. Hughes. druggist, and Philip
Wand, sprinter, both members Of the
Olympic Club, appeared IN Judge Camp
BELLS court yesterday. Hughes was charged
by Wand with threats against life and ex-
hiblting deadly weapon.
The trouble occurred early Tuesday
morning in front of Hughes store on Post
and Powell streets over setter dog be-
longing to Wand. The language used on
the occasion was unfit for publication.
Wand, when questioned by the Judge,
admitted that he had called Hughes a liar
and that he was not afraid of him. Charles
Morell, who was present during the
trouble, testified that Wand made mo-
ton to strike Hughes, and it was not till
then that Hughes drew his revolver and
warned Wand to keep away. He did not
think Wand's life was in danger.
The Judge dismissed the case and said
he was ashamedsto think that fellow club
members could descend to use the Ian.
guage as testified to. He thought both
Wand and Hughes ought to be ashamed

BOURBON DEMOCRATS.
The State Convention Will Condemn
the National Administration.

LEXINGTON, June 2.-Nearly all the
delegates to the State Convention
which meets here tomorrow have ar
rived. The silver men scored a greater
victory than they anticipated and they
scarcely know how to use the strength
with which they have become so sud
denly endowed.
About fifty staunch silver leaders as
sembled in Blackburn's headquarters,
and for two hours talked the matter
over. After two hours debate it was
decided to not censure President Cleve-
land and Secretary Carlisle by name in
the platform, but to condemn the Ma
tiOnal Administration in as strong Ian
guage as possible. They agreed that
on the money question the resolution
should instruct the delegates to sup
port free silver advocate for candi-
date for President.
The organization of the State Cen
trail Committee will occasion a bitter
fight. The old committee goes out Of
existence tonight, and the convention
viii form new one. Many of Black
burns friends were gold standard men,
and it seems that Blackburn is in fa-
Vor of recognizing them by placing sew
eral of them on the committee It is
given out that Senator Goebel, one of
Blackburn's strongest supporters and
sound money man, will be pushed for
Chairman of the committee.

MAINE REPUBLICANS.
The Mention of Reeds Name Carries
the Convention by Storm.

BANGOR CAfe), June 2.-The Repub-

to-day, j. II. Manley calling the assem-
bly, to order. He also introduced Mr..
Sewell of Bath as Temporary Chair
man.
Mr.. Sewell made a strong speech in
favor of Reed in accepting the honor
His reference to Reed carried the con-
vention by storm.
At the close of his speech the tenn
porary organization was made per-
manent, and a short recess was taken to
enable the county delegations to select
representatives for the different COM
mittees.
The platform declares in favor Of
the restoration of that Republican
policy of protection taught by Lin
coin, illustrated by the signal prosper
ity of the country for thirty-eight
years, and rounded out by the reciproc-
ity of Blaine" and continues:
I'VE are opposed to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver except by in
ternational agreement, and until such
agreement can be obtained we believe
that the present gold standard should
be maintained.
I'VE renew our answering loyalty
to that great champion of protection
and sound money, the Hon. Thomas b
Reed, in the hope that the coming Ma
tional Convention will recognize the
urgent demand Of the business inter-
ests for his nomination"
Hon. Llewelyn Powers of Holton was
nominated for Governor, after which

MINING COMPANY.
The Haggin and Hearst Interests Pass
Into English Hands.

BUTTE (Mont), June 2-The state
ment is finally made to-day on appar-
emily reliable authority that the entire
property of the big Anaconda Mining
Company has passed into the posses
sion of the English syndicate repre-
sented by Hamilton Smith. Details of
the gigantic sale is lacking, as both
sides refuse to talk. 1t is known, how
ever, that the negotiations which have
been pending some time have practi-
cally been closed, and that the only
member of the old company who viii
retain any interest is Marcus DAILY, the
general manager. The syndicate re-
fused to purchase the property until
Mr.. Daily consented to retain an inter
est and remain as manager of the COM
pany. which he was reluctant to do,
as he had fully expected to retire from
active business life. The syndicate, it
is said, has acquired all of the Haggin
and Hearst interests in the company.
The consideration is unknown, but is
said to be on a basis of forty-five
million.
