SAY MACEO IS ALIVE
Sensational RumorS Current
in Havana.
rHECAsESHROUDED MYSTERY
Festivities in the Capital ehy ="
Celebrate His Death Have
All Been stopped.

Kew West, Fla, Dec. IS -Passen-
gers arriving here tonight from Ia
gana report that Antonio Maceo 10
alive and we'll, and is in the province
IF MatanZas.
The passengers say that all of the
festivities that were going on IN Ha-
yana to celebrate his death have been
ordered stopped. since it has become
known that he is alive.
Advices from Havana tonight by the
steamer Olivette state that the alleged
death of Maceo is still shrouded in mys-
terry, and a majority of the Cubans re-
fuse to believe that the great chief ID
dead. The body has not been discovered
and contradictory statements made by
Spaniards lead the Cubans to believe
Maceo is still alive Even the people
who live at Punta Bravo. where Maceo
is said to have been killed, do not credit
the story. DIR. Zertucha continues to
make conflicting statements. He says
now that the knife which the Spaniards
have belonged to young Gomez, and
not to Maceo. They say this Irnves
either that Maceo is still alive or that
If he is dead, his death will not injure
the rebellion.
There is multiplicity of theories
current in regard to Maceo. One re-
port in Havana is that the Spanish
officer at Cabezas, province of Matan-
zas, has informed the Havana authori-
ties that Maceo passed that place re-
Gently with large force. Then, too,
it is claimed that letter has been re-
ceived in Havana from Aguirre, the in
surgent leader, dated December /, in
which no mention is made of Maceo's
death.
Weyler is now in quarrel with the
marine authorities because Of the
charge that Maceo passed the trocha in
a boat. The marine authorities deny
the story positively, and have cabled
the facts to Spain. All these contra
dictory statements render it difficult to
believe that Maceo is really dead.

CONGRESS IN SESSION.



Fifth day-Call renewed attention
10 the Cuban question by three resolu-
lions, one being bitter denunclatlon
of the manner in which it is alleged
General Antonio Maceo had been killed,
while under flag of truce. Other
resolutions by Call requested the presl.
dent to demand the release of United
States prisoners at the Spanish penal
settlement on the island of Ceuta, and
also asked the secretary of state for
list of Americans held in Spanish pris-
ons. The three resolutions went to the
committee on foreign relations. Sew
eral spirited political colloqui occur
red on the floor during the day.
Aliens speech, protesting against IN.
temperate criticisms of popnlism IN Ne
braska, led to passage at arms be-
tween him and Hoar, in winch the
Massachusetts, senator declared 1t was
a novel departure for senators to appear
as representatives of political parties,
instead of representatives of their
states.
Sixth day-Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama, held the attention of the senate
and well-filled galleries for an hour to-
day by his earnest advocacy of strong
and decisive policy in dealing with the
Cuban question. The prominence OF
Morgan in the Cuban debate of last ses-
sion, when he had charge of the Cuban
resolutions reported from the commit
tee on foreign relations, gave especial
interest to his speech today. He spoke
in dispassionate style, although his
words had directness and severity In
picturing the horrors existing in Cuba
such as is seldom heard in the senate.
Mr. Morgan spoke freely of the posi-
bilities of war, welcoming it if neces-
sary to guarantee the protection OF
American citizens. He asserted that
Spain's bankruptcy would prevent the
collection of any indemnity for wrongs
The senator questioned the wisdom OF
the presidents position, that granting
of belligerent rights would be "un.
timely"
Seventh day-The session of the sen.
ate developed the most eventful and
exciting debate that either branch of
congress has heard in long time. 1t
brought forward the recognized leaders
of the various parties and elements, in
Guiding such conspicuous figures as
Sherman, Frye, Teller, German, Vest,
Aldrich, Platt, Mitchell of Oregon,
Chandler, Hale and Allen. in notable
statements on the leading questions
which have engaged the attention of
the country Of late. Not only was the
line laid down on tariff and finance,
but the debate partook of all the pent-
up feeling resultant from the national
contest. 1t was dramatic in it's inten-
sity, and at all times absorbingly in
teresting to the crowded galleries and
body of senators. The debate came I'M
expectedly when Vest called up the
Allen resolution for consideration of
the Dingley bill, in order to make re.
marks on it. But it remained for Sher-
man to formally announce that the
Dingley bill was dead. He said he
could not always speak for his asso-
ciates, but, in view of what had been
said on the floor. he felt that he could
safely announce now that the Dingley
bill could not be passed, and that it was
useless to waste futher time ON it.

House..

House.
Fifth day-Beyond agreeing to two
weeks holiday recess, beginning De-
cember %. the proceedings in the house
today were alomst entirely devoid of
public interest. Most of the day was
spent in struggle over the bill of
Morse of Massachusetts, to render the
laws relating to the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors in the District of Colubmia
more stringent. The opposition was
inclined to filibuster against the meas
ure, but it was finally passed. Sew
eral minor relief bills were passed.
The reported assassination of Maceo,
the Cuban patriot, and its effect on the
attitude of the country toward the
revOlutiOnists, was almost the sole
topic of conversation ON the floor before
the house met, and there was general
expectation that some radically sensa-
tional resolutions would be introduced.
No resolutions, however, were offered.
Sixth day-The house today entered
upon consideration of the Loud bill to
amend the law relating to the transmits

Seventh day-Bailey of Texas, Great
ed ripple of excitement in the house
today by asking immediate considera-
iton of the resolution to investigate the
construction of the battle ship Texas.
Dingley of Maine, thought the resolu-
ton ought to be considered by the com.
mittee on naval affairs before being
acted upon; he therefore objected. On
motion OF Chairman Hull of the COM
mittee on military affairs, the house
went into committee of the whole for
consideration of the army Fappro.

looking to the abandonment of the
army and navy hospital at Hot Springs.
