Action of the Correspondents in Re.

The committee appointed at a meeting
Of Washington correspondents held at the
House press gallery or Thursday to ex-
press the sense of the meeting upon the
death Of Mr.. Wight adopted the follow
ing:
The announcement of the death Of Eugene
Barton Wight brirgs to his former as
sociates feeling of profound sorrow. For
nearly thirty years he labored at Washing
ton as correspondent. The nature and
quality of his Iabors, recorded day by day,
attest his ability as journalist and his
character as a man. With thorough equip
ment and careful training, which were null
tiplied by experience and close observation,
he united interchangeable industry, high
SelSe OF honor, sensitive Conscientious
ress, and a sterling integrity with a gentle
ness of manner, a kindliness of disposition
and a gentality Of temperament that
brought him high ard deserved reputation
as g. journalist secured for him the univer-
ed the highest respect Of all with whom he
was brought in contact.
The Washington correspondents in max
ing this tribute to the memory of their late
associate, do so with feeling that each
has lost valued friend, and that collective
ly the corps Of correspondents has lost one
of its foremost, ablest and most honored
members. In extending sympathy to his
bereaved family they would tighten their
sorrow, If that could be done by sharing 1t
with them.

good skating ice has been found in plenty
in close proximity to the city, the attend

nights during the week, while the stoppage
of the sale of tickets to go on the ice has

A meeting under the auspices Of the Fifth
District Colored Republican Club Mr.. Geo.

Crawford Hall, 26th street, near NJ street

went against him, but at any rate the meet
Col. L. NJ Saunders. An effort was made
by Mr.. E. c. Payne, who made short
speech, to get an Endorsement of Robert II.
Key, the young colored candidate from
South Washington, but it failed.
Col. l.. NJ. Saunders made an address, IN
which he referred to Col. NJ. M. Parker as
his personal friend but claimed that he
(Saunders) had the greater right to their
service for colored men before the war, and
the speaker had fought in the army for the
preservation Of the Union.
Other speakers were Thomas L. Jones and
Arthur Boston. during the attempt TO IN
dorse Key a veritable pandemonium reigned
and when it became evident that order could
not be restored the chairman declared the

kilograms from san Luis Potosi say
that this document, together with impru-

contributed to bring about a state of high
tension there, and fears are expressed that
the police will have to be called on to pre-

given orders to protect the Spnniards.

HAVANA, Dec. 15.-The New York
Worlds correspondent sends to his paper
the following signed statement by General
Weyler:
Maceo died as result of the feeble state
in which were the insurgent bands at Ha-
vana. Doubtless, before the sudden attacks
and the constant persecution of the battal-
ion of san Quintin, they were losing
ground. To reorganize those bands he put
himself at their head, and for this he died,
with part of the staff accompanying him.
In the same manner have died many
generals in all the wars over the world.
Maceo was not killed in an ambush.
My assertion can be proved by the fact
that the Spanish column which fought
against his forces had to maintain itself
against the fire of the insurgents, and the
insurgents We're strong enough in num-
Der to rctalle the bodies of Maceo and the
son of Maxine Gomez, which were carried
away from the field.
Maceo was surrounded by his own men,
who embarked with him, and passed the
trocha, it is affirmed by his own physician,
DIR. Zcrtucha.
1t is not true that Maceo was coming for
any conference with me- l can prove it
with two reasons. The first is that if was
in the province of Pinar del Rio, how could
| summon him to tho province of Havanay
The second is that, knowing myself the
situation in which Macco was in Pinar
del Rio, knowing that his situation was
so desperate that he asked help from the
rebel forces in the other parts of the Is
land, | would not be so innocent as t
agree to a conference with him in place
where ho would be out of the trocha.
Once in Havana, he would have resolved
the problem Of breaking the circle in which
l had him and his forces in Pinar del Rio
Maceo died as fell all who command
forces who at the sight of the enemy fly
away
This discouraged band he brought to
Havana with the hope of making it fight
Any other chief in similar circumstances
his men disbanded, would be sure to die
And that is what happened to Maceo.

MADRID, Dec. Is. Dissatisfaction with
General Weyler' conduct of affairs in Cuba
grows apace here. The ministerial papers
complain about his returning to Havana
to receive an ovation instead of vigorously
pursuing the insurgents in the province of
Pinar del Rio. Other papers resent Gener-
al Weylers alleged suppression of tcle-
grams regarding the ovations to Major
Cirujeda upon the receipt Of the news that
his command had defeated a largely supe.
rior force of rebels and killed their leader,
Maceo. This action is attributed to jeal-
ousy on the part of General Wcyler, who,
the papers declare desires TO have no one
share with him the honor of suppressing
the insurrection. Credible rumors are cur
rent that the government is not at all sat
isiled with General Wcyler's administra-
ton of the civil and military affairs, and
that if the situation in Cuba does not
shortly improve it will substitute in his
place General Marin, at present governor
of Puerto Rico.
