THE ROLL OF HONOR.

Names Of tho Cubans Who Fell with tho
Martyr Maceo, Victims Of Spanish
Troachery.
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.--Up to noon
yesterday the Cuban junta had not re-
ceivedfrom the southern agents or from
Havana the complete list Of the names
of those of Gen. Maceo's staff who
were killed with their chief. Neither
have they any record OF those Ameri-
cans who are supposed to have been
with the insurgent general. Some OF
the gallant little band that fell with
Maceo are supposed to have been from
California, but the junta cannot con.
firm that supposition. One thing Is
certain, part Of the staff, which con.
sisted Of le men, were recruited in
this city.
The names of six Cubans who are
supposed to have been with their
leader are; Chief Brig. Gen. Jose Miro,
Ramon Ibbonnet, Pedro Ibbonnet,

International congress.
WASHINGTON Dec. 15.-The special
committee appointed by Senator Sher-
man, chairman of the republican sem
atorial caucus, to devise legislation
for action at this session of congress
looking to an international monetary
conference, held its first meeting yes
terday morning, with Senators VOL
colt, chairman, and Chandler, Hoar,
Gear and Carter present. The meet
ing was informal and no action Of any
kind was taken. Owing to the meet
ings of other committees of which
some of the senators were members
the meeting was short. 1t is hoped
that at the next sitting a tentative
plan, at least, will be su omitted, for
it is the intention to prepare bill as
speedily MS possible and submit it to
the republican caucus.
A canvass of the senate has been
made and it is said that this shows
five silver boiling republicans will not
antagonize the proposed measure and
that many Of the democratic silver
men will support it.

Tho Ex-sla-e Organizations.

The ex-slave pension organizations
arc still being organized all over the
State. This organization has caused
great excitement among the negroes in
various portions OF the State. In many
instances they have been made dupes Of
by unscrupulous persons representing
themselves to be agents Of the United
States government and heecel out Of
good sums Of money. They have been
made to believe that there is no ques-
ton but what the government will ulti-
mately recognize their rights and give
them large back pension and one
yearly sufficient to maintain them for
the rest Of their lives. Many Of the
more sensible negroes even believe there
is fair prospect Of succeeding. As has
been pointed out by several papers this
would be q great scheme for the whole
South, as 1t would put great deal Of
money In circulation and would to an
extent counteract the pensions given
almost solely in the North, West and
