Army who DID Not Knew Hia.

Havana, Dec. 16. via Key
est.-Following are the de-
tails. as CLEANED by careful in
vestigation among those who
took part in the affair, of the
killing OF Antonio Maceo:
After crossing the trocha by
land, as has been indicated in
previous dispatehes,to the Asso-
ciated Press, Antonio Maceo
and staff, 1t appears, were en-
camped in the hills and expect
ing the arrival of Cuban rein
forcements under Brig. General
Sanchez and others ordered by
Gen. Aguirre to receive and es-
cort the noted Pinar del Rio
chief to the east.
Major Cirajeda was totally
ignorant of Maceo's presence
in the district, believing him TO
be still west of the trocha. But,
learning that a Spanish fort on
the San Pedro had been fired
ON that morning by insurgents,
he started out on a reconnoiter-
ing tour at the head of a rem
nant of the San Quentin battal-
lion, accompanied by a force of
local guerillas under Capt. Pc
raj, The latter's men We're
dressed in a manner similar to
that of the insurgent troops
and they marched in the van
guard of the Spanish columns.
AIistaking these for San hez's
vanguard, challenges having
been made and countersigns
given satisfactorily, Maceo,
surrounded by the members of
his staff and a handful of fol-
lowers, advanced with all con
fidence to meet his friends,
when the guerrillas met them
with a rifle volley. MaceO fell
at the first fire, his men tempo
. rararily disconnected with the
surprise, retiring by the flanks.
Young Gomez, though he had
been previously wounded at
the trocha and still had his
arm in a sling. assisted as
the engagement became gen.
eral in dragging his chief to
a place of temporary safety
on the grass aud remained
by his side until realizing
that they had been abandoned,
Gomez wrote the note to his
parents which has been prev
iously telegraphed to the Asso-
ciated Press and then commit
? ted suicide by shooting himself
with a revolver.

American Enterprises in japan,

1t is evident from a report made by
the British consular service on the rail.
ways Of Japan that there Is a likelihood
or the American manufacturers of rail-
way material Ousting, partially at least,
their English competitors at no distant
date. At first the English had n,onop-
oily beth in construction and manage
ment. but the japanese have graduai,y
learned the art OF building and mana,;-
ing of railroads, and at the present tim1
there are hardly any foreigners in the
service. In short time there will net
be a single foreign designer, and the
japanese will place all their orders fer
material without consulting foreign ad.
visefs. Or course, wnrrr EngnsnrIru
were at the head of affairs, the orders
went to England, but in future. coil
tracts and orders will be given to thoHe
who can most promptly and cheaply
supply the material required.
In Great Britain. when piece of EN-
gineering work, such as bridge construc.
ton, Is taken in hand, the engineer or
ders material to be made to his own de-
sign. In America, on the other hand,
the engineer or the company first state
their requirements and the manufac-
turers send in competitive projects
based on their own designs. 1t happens
tnat the EnSIlsn engineer WHO mas Deeh
the designer of railway bridges in ia
pan since 1882, has just given up his
post. and the work will be in the
hands of the Japanese in future. A good
many of the japanese engineers have
been educated in the United States, and
they will not be slow in taking advant
age of the American system. as 1t Will
save them great deal of trouble. AT
the present time all the leading Ameri
can manufacturers of nstructional iron
work are represented personally in ia
pan, while their English rivals have nc
representatives on the spot.
The aforementioned report gives full
| information about the railroad business
in Japan and the requirements OF the
country and it should be in the hands
of every American who wishes to In
crease the export trade.

having no use OF them whatever. I
could not help myself In any way, and
was not able to even turn over In ped
unless my husband or some ono else
came and turned me. Medicines which
the physicians left did no good, and

q bright prospect, for l was but twen-

fearful fate to think of.
II had read In the Wilmington Jour

of the wonderful cures which had been
effected by DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
and had become impressed with the
cases where they had caused persons
to walk and recover who had been as
helpless as l was. Consulting my hus-
band. we determined to give them a
trial. So he drove into Wilmington,
and. going to the drug store Of George

pills. l began taking them Immediate
ly on his return. That was about the
first Of the present year. Before tho

that I was getting better. and by the
time I finished the second box the
pain with which had been suffering
for nearly six months and the disease
weeks disappeared entirely. and got
up. l took the third box Of the pills

1'he SUMS Distance.

.~Tbe sun il about 93.OO0.0OO miles dis
tant from the earth" writes Alden w.
Ouimby in June Ladies' Home Journal.
.sIt varies through the year because the
earth.s orbit is elliptical, and the sun is
Mt one focus of the ellipse. The earth
is more than 3,OOO.OOO miles nearer the
sun in December than in June, at
which time the latitudes south OF tile
euuator receive his direct rays and ex-
periencc the great heat Of their sum-
mer.
.I.et us try to comprehend the figures
stated. The other day two racers OF
the sea proudly lowered the record OF
transatlantic passage. Could they turn
their prows to the sun, and drive their
great engines day and night In the
crossing of the ether main, 1t would be
200 years before they could reach har-
Dor.
"Most persons have noticed the ap-
preciable interval of time between the
stroke of an axe at distance and the
resultant sound; could we hear the
sound of solar explosion, we would
know that the explosion had occurred
fourteen years before. Perhaps the
most striking illustration is that which
imagines little child to have an arm
long enough to reach the sun. Ihe
child might thrust its fingers into the
seething fires. but it would grow up to
maturity, and calmly descend Into the
valley of extreme old age, blissfully
unconscious of any pain from the
burning; in fact, 1t would require an
other such a lifetime to bring the news
to the brain"
