Thinks the story Is a Canard.

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. 9-The Cuban
leaders here and at Tampa deny the re-
ports from the Spanish office at Havana
Of the death of General Maceo or of the
son of General Gomez. Although reports
from Havana are meager, yet enough has
been received to prove that the friends Of
the insurgents in the Spanish capital do
not believe the report of Maceo's death.
The palace officials do not confirm the
mornings report by any further details,
which leads the Cubans to think that this
is only a canard, intended TO influence the
American Congress now in session. The
leaders here have made diligent inquiry to-
day, but have received nothing to induce
them 10 believe that Maceo has been killed.

The correspondents reports from Havana
this evening differ in details regarding the
reported death of Maceo. The story is not
thought to be true, but ii is believed to
have been sent out by the Spanish govern

relief of the insurgents. American corre-

Minister De Lome's Advices.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-Senor De LONE,
the Spanish minister, received cable dis
patch from Havana last night which seems
to bear out the press report of the death
of Antonio Maceo and young Gomez. Ow-
ing to the fact that the cable was sent last
night before the press report, 1t is lacking
in many of the details Of the latter. 1t says
in substance that after the engagement
near Mare on Monday two bodies were
found the field which, from their cloth
ing and papers found on them, are taken
TO be those Of Maceo and his young COM
panion.
The following dispatch was received to-
night by Minister De LONE from the Span
ish minister of foreign affairs:
THE inSurgent leader, Antonio MaceO,
realizing the impossibility of remaining
in Pinar del Rio province, and being con-
stantly pursued by Spanish columns,
crossed the trocha on the 4th inst. He was
at the head of over two thousand men,
whom he had recruited from the local
bands OF the western part of the province
of Havana. When he was overtaken by
Major Cirugedas's column, $50 men strong,
Maceo's forces were routed. the leader be-
ing killed in the engagement and MaXimo
Gomezs son committing suicide after being
wounded. The corpses have been identified
and their clothing. arms and the documents
found in their possession were taken by the
Spaniards. The remainder of the band dis

MADRID. Dec. 9.-The official announce
ment of the death of Antonio Maceo and
Francisco Gomez has been published here
and has caused the greatest enthusiasm.
Crowds of students marched through the
streets, manifestations were held in front
of the ministry for the colonies and the
crowds cheered for Spain, the army and
for Major Cirujeda. whose column defeated
the insurgents under Maceo near Punta
Brava in Havana province.
Senator Canovas del Castillo expresses
the belief that the death of Maceo will ef-
feet a change in the campaign in Cuba.
Other politicians estimate that the rebel
lion there will be suppressed by the spring.
The impartial notes the coincidence of the
success of the Spanish arms in Cuba and
the declaration of impotence which Presi-

articles appear in special editions of other
papers, and there Is great enthusiasm in
