Jacksonville, Fla, December 10
Sylvester Scovel, the New York World
correspondent, gave tonight his reas-
ons for disbelieving the reports of Ma
ceo's death. He says that from twelve
months association with him in Cuba,
he knew that the description of the
clothing, jewelry and revolver found
on the body was not that OF those used
by Maceo up 10 last June He said that
there was no reason for Maceo to cross
the trocha at this time as Pinar del
Rio province was not suffering for food.
1t was incredible TO him that Maceos
personal guard should have left their
leaders body on the field if he had been
killed. They would have carried it
with them on a retreat or perished in
defending II.
Cincinnati, O., December 10.-The
Commercial-Tribunes special from
Tampa, Fla, says: While it is not
impossible that the Maceo rumor is
true, yet all indications point to Il as
another Spanish fake to carry
weight and influence with Congress.
Information to-day from Havana from
Cuban sympathizers there is that while
the Spaniards are delirious with Joy
over the report of Maceo's death and
are celebrating it, yet the Cuban popu-
lation do not believe it, nor can they
obtain proofs that are satisfactory.
Every effort is being made to get
news from Maceo's army and within "A
hours the truth will be known. Men
who have gone outside the city in
search of information have been turn
ed back with threats.
Last night in an encounter, some
five miles west of Havana. the Spanish
troops got confused in the darkness
and fired upon each other, five soldiers
and one officer being killed.
st. Louis, Mo, December 10.-A spe-
cial to the Republic from Dallas, Tex
as, says: The head of the local Cuban
committee to-day received dispatches
from Key West making absolute denial
Of the Spanish reports from Havana of
the alleged killink of General Antonio
MaceO. The dispatches state that at
o'clock last night Maceo was again in
Pinar del Rio province and that his
army was making successful operations
against General Weyler's forces. that
since the turning OF Weyler's left flank
December l. Maceo had captured more
than 1000 stands of arms and immense
quantities Of ammunition, medicines
and cOmmissary supplies.
The dispatches also state that within
the next three days the Cubans are
likely to turn Weyler's other flank and
win a decided victory. The head of
the local committee said: I'VE know
positively that the most sensational
and glorious news for the patriots will
come from Cuba on or about Decem-
ber Is. Texas is doing more to help
the patriots than any other State in
the union just now, and is favorably
located for effective aid. Dallas and
Galveston will be in closer conflden-
tial relations with Key West than will
any other point in the east for some
time to come"

AN EXCHANGE OF VIEWS.
Democratic Senators Talk Over the situa-
tion-No Caucus VIII Probably be Had.

TtOn-NO caucus w III IBODADll nc
Washington, D. c., December TO-
The comparatively early adjournment
of the Senate to-day was taken advant-
age of by some of the Democratic lead
ers of that body to hold meeting for
the exchange of views on the policy TO
be pursued in the Senate by the party
during the present session. Senators
German, Jones, of Arkansas; Harris,
Cockrell and Walthall remained
through the meeting, and Senators
Brice and Faulkner were present for a
short time.
Among other questions under con-
sideration was that Of Senatorial cleo
tions in the various States. The DEM
ocrats are convinced that the Republi-
cans will make every effort TO secure
a majority of the Senate through the
elections in the various State Legis-
latures this winter, but at to-day S
meeting the sentiment was that the
Republicans could not win in enough
States to secure a majority in the Sen
ate.
Ii was announced as a result of the
conference that the Democrats had
nothing in view so far as party was
concerned. There will be no caucus
called at present, and probably not dur
ing the session, unless some eXigency
arises which will make it necessary.
The opinion was general that nothing
could be done at this session, except
to pass the appropriation bills.
As to taking up the Dingley bill, no
caucus or party restrictions will be
urged upon Senators to vote against its
consideration, and Democratic Sena-
tors will vote as they individually may
determine No obstructive tactics VIII
be employed against the bill

Special TO the Register.
Steubenville, o., December 1O.-A
murder was committed at Bergholz, a
mining town in the northwestern part
Of the county, this morning, at the
mines, which have been the scene Of
other murderous affrays.
John Brown, who drove entries in the
"XL" mine, met death Thursday morn
ing from a blow Of a pick point WELD
ed by John Kellogg, a miner The
murder occurred about six o'clock, just
as the men We're getting ready TO start
to work, and grew out Of q quarrel over
an empty car. kellogg wanted the car,
which was nearest his entry. as he had
coal which he wanted to send out, but
Brown would not give it to him. A
scudle of short duration took place,
which ended by Kellogg grabbing his
pick and sinking it in Browns left leg
above his knee. The pick point pene-
trated an artery Brown bled to death
in about ten minutes after he was
struck.
Kellogg has been working there
about seven years and is married and
has q wife and one child. Brown was
about 40 years old and a widOWer, his
wife being dead about two months. He
had worked about BergholZ the past
six years.
According to Kellogg. he wanted 70
take the car which was standing in his
entry with his tools in it. farther up the
entry and unload his tools and bring it
back Brown refused to have the car
moved and Kellogg had taken some Of
the tools out and as he reached for an
other pick Brown struck at him and
grabbed the pick which was in Kel-
loggs hand and tried to jab tire point
into his side. In swinging it around
kellogg thinks he may have showed it
into Browns leg He said he did not
intend 10 do SO and did not know
Brown was hut until after the latter
cried out kellogg helped carry
Brown ont and told some one to go for
q doctor He afJerward went to see
Brown after the latter was hauled home
dead. Kellogg gave himself up and no
one seems to regret the occurrence
more than the prisoner does.
Kellogg did not want to fight when
Brown struck at him. and he called for
his buddy" to stop Brown. Kellogg
was brought here and lodged in jail
by Constable Ham SALESMAN. and sub
seuueutly he was brought before
Squirt Trainer. where Constable Salts
man made an affidavit charging him
with murder in the first degree. Kel-
logg plead not guilty, waived a prelim-
mary examination and was held to
await the action of the grand jury.
The murderer is uncOuth in appear
ance. He is about the same age as
Brown. Kellogg's tale is pitiful and
shows that the murder was accidental
and probably in self defense
