Mysrrny OF MAcEo's DEATH.

4
Doubt no longer exists that Antonio
Maceo. the virtual head and front In the
field OF the Cuban insurgents. Is dead;
! and the only question now Is as TO now
his death was comprised. Up to sun
day the weight OF information points 10
his having been the victim OF n browning
act OF seXies OF Spanish infamies upon
the island. In other words, II seemed
to be pretty well established that he had
been lured into ambush under a flag OF
truce. or it's equivalent. and assassinated.
| on Sunday night, however. the first sec
| rotary of the Spanish Legation at WASH
| ington gave out "A statement, by authority
Of the Spanish Minister, that would
seem to put different light on the az
| fair. or which. to say the least, admoh-
| ishes us to make haste slowly before ac
| cepting the assassination theory. In mat
| statement the charge OF treachery on
the mart Of the Spanish authorities IN
Cuba in the matter Of Maceos death Is
Indignantly denied. and details are given
regarding the manner In which ne was
killed that certainly impart strength 10
the denial.
Nevertheless. until all the circum-
stances of the affair shall have been
made perfectly clear. and particularly
until the escape OF Or. Zertucha twho Is
suspected OF having betrayed Maceo INTO
ambush, has been explained. we may ex-
moot iteration and rciteration OF the
charges against the Sraniards. However
much we may sympathize with the Gu
hans. we are In no position to deny that
the Cuban Junta in this country Is not
above continuing to work the assasslha-
,ion. treachery. and nag-of-truce story
as long as ii is possible to make In the
United States capital out Of it for their
cause. Already the junsa's representa-
tIves in Washington have used the story
with the effect of having a resolution d.
rectine inquiry into the matter, intro
duced into Congress This is step wei
calculated to increase dangerously the
tension between this country and SPAIN
especially If the Spanish authorities in
Cuba shall be able 10 entirely vindicate
themselves Of the foul charge.
Maceo's death is. Of course, a great
blow to his compatriots. As we have
said above. he was the virtual head and
front Of the insurgent cause in the HELD
But 1t does not follow that the chances
of triumph OF the insurgents VIII De ma
teriallv lessened by their losing him. He
is survived by able leutenants. who are
thoroughly trained in the tactics he sue
cessfully pursued through two rebellions
or revolutions. and these lieutenants con-
front an enemy to whom Maceo's tactics
are as demoralizing to-day as they ever
were. Besides. although, the death OF
Naceo has saddened the insurgents. there
Is no evidence that it has dampened their
ardor II anything. IL has made them
more determined than ever before.

The promptness with which Judge Wad-

IL Judge Waddil thought the League

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
see you have been discussing the
election law. Below l give you the idea
of "A poor countryman: Let no man vote
who cannot prepare his own ballot. It
Is the only way to get rid of the ignorant
votes.
noticed at our precinct in November
that the Republican Judge went in the
booth with every negro and nearly every
white Republican, and not only in
structed the voter. but did the marking
himself-in other words. the one man
voted more than half Of the ballots that
were cast at our precinct. My opinion IS
that this Is not a free ballot and never
can be until you force every man to do
his own marking or else have the tickets
so that the voters can do 50 by marking
off sections. II you think this right,
please press the matter. Yours truly,

cause of her wonderful health and vigor.
Happening to mention the matter to
lady OF my acquaintance shortly after,
she volunteered the following explana-
ton
Mrs. T." she said, certainly has
splendid health, and not long ago she told
me the secret OF Il. For years past, 80
she told me. she has made 1t a practice
to take n little pure malt stimulant with

10 this that she had escaped the many
weak symptoms and miserable ailments
from which SO many women suifer. she
says that whenever she feels tired and
worn out. q little pure malt gives her
new life and energy"
these words, / may further add that |
the lady above referred TO uses and
strongly recommends Duffy's pure malt
whiskey as the safest and best OF all
malt preparations. No other whiskey is
like II. and nothing can produce the same
good effects.

The Philadelphia Board Of Health has
issued a leahet of general instructions.
which is placed In the hands Of all fami-
lies where there are cases of diphtheria.
for the purpose OF preventing the spread
Of the disease. Among the precautions
mentioned are the injunction TO drink no
milk or water which has been exposed TO
the air of the sick room: to handle no
clothing which has been worn by the pa
tient during sickness or convalescence,
and to disinfect all such clothing by boil
ing, first soaking them In solutions of
chloride of lime or carbolic acid and
water Where the articles Of clothing
can be spared. they should be burned. The
room occupied by the patient should be
disinfected and cleaned, the paper re
moved from the walls, and the furniture
washed with solution of carbolic acid.
The following we quote from the last
issue of the Sanitarian:
"Diphtheria has greatly increased in
prevalence and mortality throughout the
country. Moreover. our notes appended
10 the official reports referring to its cpl
demic prevalence omit hundreds of other
places where its existence is reported. In
many localities, but in none more than
Brooklyn, it appears TO have acquired a
chronic abiding place, and an annually
recurring epidemic prevalence during the
late autumn and winter months. notwith-
standing-indeed. probably on account Of
the too exclusive attention to the improve
ment in the treatment of the disease. Re
ports received by us, at any rate. official
and otherwise, confirm our own observa-
tions that the improvement in the treat
ment Of the disease appears to have di-
yerted attention from local conditions and
practices promotive Of its seasonal preva-
lence-such as filthy stables and manure
storage; the exposure of foods Of all kinds
TO street dust; unclean grocery cellars;
sweatshops of all sorts etc.-subjects of
common reference In these pages

Or sailed the raging main;
Or ''snatched q child"

He Is not rich. or great or good:
Yet. when he walks the street,
