MURDER or JOSE MAcEo.
His killing an Outcome Of Race
War Among the Cubnns.


Philadelphia. July IL-Cabiegrams re-
ceived here to-day from Cuba confirm the
truth Of the story OF the killing OF Gen.
Jose Maceo. the brother of Gen. Antonio
Maceo. tie Cuban insurgent leader From
the cablegrams received the killing Of
Maceo was nothing more or less than cold
blooded murder II would further appear
that a race war has broken out in the In
surgent ranks between the whites and The
blacks. and that the shooting OF Maceo
is the first incident OF this unfortunate
conflict Since the arrival in Cuba Of Gen.
CaliNto Garcia that leader and Maceo
have not been friendly. Macco resented
the superior authority conferred upon
Garcia by the Cuban iunta In New York.
and Gen. Garcia has been determined 20
assert his superior rank. When the last
cargo from the hhbustering steamer Bcr-
muda was landed Jose Maceo seized all
the arms and ammunition. Gen. Garcia
protested against this condscation. When
the last cargo from the steamer Three
Friends was landed on the coast near
Juragua, Maceo marched TO the seaboard
with l50 men and took possession OF the
arms ana ammunition. AS he was return
ms from the coast he was ambushed and
shot 10 death by men whom II Is asserted
were from his own army. The trouble
between the blacks and whites has been
further accentuated by the recent shoot
ual, OF Manuel Gonzales. provincial treas
urer. his secretary and several suhordi-
mates, for the alleged shortage OF Si6.0Ol
or more In the cattle tax funds. Gonzales
and the other men shot by Gen. Gomez
