were in the neighborhood of the germs at
various points during the day are in a
state OF dread lest they shall be stricken
with one OF the diseases which the germs
represented.

MESSAGE TO THE JUNTO.
General MaceO Says the Cause of Lib
erty Is Not Suffering.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25.-The first di-
rect anG authentic news from the mountain
camp of General Maceo that has been re-
ceived in this country since General Weyler
left Havana for the front two weeks ago
came to-day by special messenger, who
stopped in this city. General Maceo sends
greeting 70 his countrymen in the United
States and in a few words assures them
and the friends of Cuba throughout the
country that his gallant band Is safe and
able. for a time at least, to take care of
itself no matter what the Spaniards may
do. The message is directed to the New
York Junto. and reads:
1--WE have withstood the enemy in many
encounters and are prepared for any move
he may make. We have rendered him
much injury and will be able to withstand
any of his attacks for some time to come.
Assure our noble friends ,,, IN the United ted
suffer in Pinar del Rio. To those who are
friendly to our cause | send greetings"
"ANTONIO MACEO."
The message was dated at the rebel army
camp near Las Pozas, on the northern
coast, at the farthest western end of the
Rubi chain of mountains. along which are
the several camps and strongholds of
Maceo's forces. Cubans in this city are es-
pecially elated over the receipt of the mes
occupied by the Cuban forces during the
past month or six weeks.
The carrier of the message, whose name
is not given out by the Cuban leaders,
was a witness to the fight at Artemisa,
which was first reported as a great Span
ish victory and later as a drawn battle.
'It was a splendid fight said the Cuban
officer. "and gave great hope and courage

United States, who read only meager and
untruthful reports, can have no idea of
the nature of things in Pinar del Rio. But
I will speak more especially of Artemisa,
where one of the greatest Cuban victories
was won. Maceo did not use his entire
force against the Spaniards. but the lat
ter. who numbered between six thousand
and eight thousand. were driven back
from the foothills and many OF them were
slain upon the hard plateau in front of
the town As night came on Maceo ordered
two batteries to the brow of the hill and
shelled the town. Fires began in various
places in the city and the effect of the cam
nonading was something wonderful. The
two dynamite guns did fearful work, some
of which / had a chance to witness a few
days ago when L passed through the city
on my way TO Havana. Atemisa was al
most destroyed. You would be surprised
at the work of our cannon. The walls of
the city were torn apart and many of the
big houses were completely demolished.
learned that many were killed during the
four hours bombardment. The loss of the
enemy in the city alone in the neigh
borhood of $50, according TO those with
whom talked while my brief stay lasted. E"
The bearer OF General Maceo's message

then Immediately return TO receive the
promotion which Is invariably extended TO
those who return safely from perilous
mission.

MURDERED BY PE0NS.
Americans who Founded n Colony in
Mexico Harassed and Slain.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 25.-Private ad-
vices received in the city to-day from the
American colony at Metlaltonca, in the
State Of Pueblo, Mexico, gave definite infor-
nation of assassinations by poems which
the Mexican government has until now
been able to keep secret. There are several
Californians in the colony, and in view
of recent events they are fleeing to this
country for their lives. The Mexi-
can government has sent troops to the
colony in the hope of capturing the assas-
sins, whom, during the past four months
have murdered three Americans in cold
blood
The colony was formed about four years
ago. and numbers 200 souls. A tract of
100000 acres of land was secured at Metal
Cruz Most of the colony were prosperous
farmers of the United States, who disposed
of their property and invested the proceeds
in improving their tracts in the colony.
Over $500, 900 was invested in improvements,
and the raising of coffee was begun. Presi-
dent Diaz and the Mexican government
afforded the colonists important aid. and
every encouragement was offered for the
investment Of their capital. The prosperity
of the colonsts aroused the hatred of the
Mexicans. who perpetrated a series of rob-
berries Cases of arson followed, and finally
three murders We're committed, all within a
month The victims were Thomas Gomez,
G. Delny and Charles Lillsen.
A San Franciscan who has invested
heavily in the colony stated to-day that a
reign of terror prevailed at Metlaltonca,
and that it's effect was bound to be dis
astrous to the colony. The poems, he de-
clared. We're determined to drive the set

Plurality of 100000 for Mckinley
Only Two Parties I'm 1895.

MILWAUKEE,, Nov. 25.-The official
count OF the vote in the State has been
completed, except two or three counties,
and these will make little difference in the
total. The returns show that neither Major
Mckinley nor the Republicans of Wisconsin
have any reason TO be ashamed OF the
Badger State. The plurality for Mckinley
is 1O4 .s1s. or 10000 in round numbers and IL
will go above this when the few counties
missing have been received. The vote for
various presidential candidates is as fol-
lows: Mckinley, 26S.5S9; Bryan. 163, AL:
Levering. 6.375; Palmer. 4.2i4. The vote for
Governor is: Scoheld, 25f.slo: Silverthorn.

ley's plurality is 10000 that OF Major Sco-
field is but -. AS. a.falling OF OF nearly TO-
600. These votes represent Democrats who
voted for Major Mckinley. but when IL
came to the State ticket they voted for

One OF the most significant things about
the returns and one that will probably
cause the greatest ast0nishment ts the

Rockville, Md, July s.-The excite
ment caused by the lynching of the
negro, Sydney Randolph, on Friday
night, was stirred to ahigh pitch tonight
when it was rumored that the colored
people in the vicinity of Galthersburg
had organized party and were coming
to Rockville to lynch X. L. Buxton. abe
father of the Buxton family that Yes
assaulted, and of which crime K kndolph
was accused and for which hSfwae
lynched AS soon as the authorities
here were appraised of this rumor steps
were at once taken to prevent a recur-
renee of the events of Friday night.
The deputy quickly informed a number
needed and then told Buxton of his
danger, advising him to leave Oh the
next train for Washington. Buxton
seemed quite nervous and excited, but
protested against leaving. Arrivals from
Gaithersburg stated mat the rumor of
the intended outbreak among the ne
groes had reached them and that
party of two hundred men had been
armed and put on their guard. They
informed Buxton that If he would &C
company them back to Gaithersburg
they would guarantee to protect him.
Buxton went to Gaithersburg, where he
will spend the night with frien is, guard
ed by several able bodied men. There
II no doubt that that the colored people
of the country are very indignant at
the lynching. 1t is stated also that they
are bitter against Buxton, claiming he
knows more about the affair than he Is
willing to tell
