what was the nIaJority.

Justice Filloon has case on hand
that promises to settle the question
as to McKinley's majority in this state.
Mr.. Silas Osborne backed his political
belief with wager in the sum of $40,
that Mckinley would not carry this
state by more than 1000 majority, and
the money was placed in the hands of
Dan Baker as stakeholder. Now Os-
borne claims that Mckinley did not
carry the state by 1000, but by only
about ,974 votes. Baker, owing to the
dispute, refuses to turn the money over,
and so Osborne brings suit to have his
$40 returned to him.

MAcEo,s CAREER.
A Brave and Brilliant Omcer and a
Thorough Patriot.

Antonio Maceo was, without question,
the most brilliant figure of the present
revolution in Cuba. He effected land
With him were Flor Crombet and
number of persons. Maceo had been
member of General Gomez staff during
the ten years war, from 1858 to 1873,
and commanded large bodies of troops
in the province of Santiago de Cuba. in
which province his family had lived,
and where he owned large plantation.
After the ten years. war Maceo travelled
in Central America, attempting to raise
large force to invade Cuba, and con-
test the sovereignty of Spain.
In 1886 he went to Hayti to try to get
assistance for an invasion of Cuba, but
he was driven out, and lived for long
time in retirement in Jamaica, and after
that he renrned to Cuba and lived very
quietly en- his plantation in the eastern
province, where he was very popular.
In 1890 he was driven out of Cuba and
went to New York. At the time of the
present outbreak he was in Florida, and
he joined a large expedition which set
out from Fort Limon in 1892 on the
steamer Adirondack. A Spanish man
of-war pursued the steamer for eight
hours, and at last the leaders were COM
pelled to land on Fortune island, one OF
the West Indies. Thence Maceo and
the other leaders made their way to
Cuba. On the great raid across the ISL
and in 1895 Maceo was Gomez chief
coadiutor. and when Captain General
Campos had finally receded with his
headquarters to Havana, Maceo led a
daring raid into the fertile province of
Pinar del Rio, where he devastated the
great tobacco district and raised the
whole province in revolt against Spain.
There he has been ever since, with the
| Spanish authority in the province prac-
tically overturned.
Time and again reports have been re-
ceived from Cuba of his death in action
or his suicide, always to be refuted by
his later activity.
There is no doubt that many people
will doubt the authenticity of the report
now received of his death, though nc
previous report has given euch exact de-
tails of the circumstances of his death
and the fact of Identification.

WASHIN GToN LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Feb IA. 1896.
Persons unacquainted with the
undercurrents of things congress
sional could see no signs of the
fierce fight for and against silver
in the quiet ending OF the debate
on the free coinage substitute for
the house bond bill, now in the
taking of the vote by which the
house refused by heavy MAORI
ty to accept thatsubstitute. That
is because the contest was too
one-sided to justify any fighting
outside Of the congressional rec
ord and that which took place in
the pages of that publication was
for the edltication of expectant
constituencies. But all the same
that fight has been going on from
the day congress ass m ole d,
everywhere that either side has
had a fighting chance to gain a
point. One of the most import
ant of these fights, involving six
silver senator's, was this week de-
ternlined when the house commit
tee on territories by the slender
majority of one vote decided not
to report a bill admitting Arizona
to statehood. The committee
did not diyide on party lines, but
on silver, and this vote means
that bills for the admission of
New Mexico and Oklahoma will
meet the same fate, and that the
six recruits which the silver sena-
tors expected from the three new
states will not materialize during
the life of this congress.
