They Do Not Believe That Maceo
Is Dead.

Is Dead.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Senor LIE
LONE, the Spanish minister, has re-
ceived cable dispatch from Havana
which seems to bear out the press re-
port of the death Of Antonio Maceo and
young Gomez. He has also received Of
flcial confirmation from Madrid
At the Cuban headquarters here no
alarm Is felt at the reported death Of
the insurgent general. Second Secre-
tary Diaz Albertini, who is the only
member of the junta now In the city,
epressed himself in most positive terms
that the story had no basis Of truth,
and was sent for the sole purpose of
influencing. and, if possible, deferring
action by the congress Of the United
States
You will notice said the secretary
that the story contains very many
details of the finding Of the body. the
marked linen and letters from the cid
er to the younger Gomez. 1t is really
amusing to learn that Maceo wore
silk socks containing his initials
worked in red silk, and that his linen
and that of the younger Gomez whose
body is said to have been found near
that Of his chief, was also marked with
his Initials. Any one who knows Ell
ther of these men knows that they
have not seen, much less worn. linen
Sill - anu Sin SOChS IOF IIldIly d udy.
This part Of the story is quite ridicu-
lous, and bears unmistakable evidences
Of Spanish origin, and then the letter
to young Gomez. A Cuban father. in
writing to his child, never signs his
name as this letter was signed-"M
Gomez" That is cold formality that
q Cuban never employs. He would
have signed Your Father
The whole story is feeble and
transparent ATTEMPT to delay action by
congress, and nothing else. The Unit
ed States and the Spaniards, too. will
soon learn that Maceo is very much
alive

WASHINGTON Dec. 9-When Harri-
sons administration began Henry c.
Payne was anxious to be postmaster
general, but John Wannamaker was
the recipient Of that distinction. Payne
has ever since desired the position. Last
spring he was regarded as an Alli-
son man, because of his close relations
with Clarkson. But Payne never open
ed his mouth until the Republican ma
tional committee convened in ST. Louis
last June. On that occasion it was he
who made the motion that Hanna be
made chairman. After some discus
sion of pressing matters, it was Payne
who moved that full power be given
Hanna to manage the campaign. When
the headquarters were established in
Chicago, it was. Payne who became
Hannas alter ego. He now travels
with Hanna, and is undoubtedly on the
inside Of the national Republican or
ganiZation. He seems to have the call
on the postmaster generalship.
They who place Henry Clay Evans,
Of Tennessee, in the postofice possibil-
tiles and name Payne for the interior
department port folio, forget that a
lawyer must be at the head of the inte-
rior department; and Payne is no law
yer. He is slated for the management
of the postoffice department., and Evans
must look for something else at the pie
counter
An Iowa man of rank, who is long
time personal friend of your CORE {. .ond-
ent, says: Allison viii undoubtedly
look at the position of secretary of
state, as he looked at the treasury port
folio when it was offered him by Gar
field, Arthur and Harrison. Allison
gave no reason for declining the cabi-
net position to Garfield or Arthur, but
he said to Harrison: If were assured
that I would be secretary of the treas
ury, without any possibility Of being
overruled by the president in any mat
ter, might consider the proposition
favorably, and administer that depart
ment. But, every president wants to
be secretary of the treasury, too, and
the average secretary is only clerk.
could only accept with a safe assur-
ance that would have absolute charge
of the department without any inter-
ference whatever Allison will look at
the state department in tine same man
ner and will, of course, decline the
proffered honor.

CUNNING FOR BELMONT.
Bond Investigation Committee May
Force Him to Talk

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9-The sub-commit-
tee of the senate committee on finance, which
was appointed prior to the adjournment of
the last session of congress to investigate the
bond issues made by the present administra-
ton. held brief session today. but adjourned
without taking any action, because of the ab-
sence of some of the members. When the
committee adjourned after its last meeting
in New York last summer, the question pend
ing before it was, What should be done in
view of the refusal of ]. Pierpont Morgan
and Perry Belmont to answer questions as
to how, much they had realized upon the
bond transactions? and that question is still
pending. 1t is presumed that this state of
affairs will be repsrted to the full committee
and it is possible that the report will be ac-
companied by a recommendation for prosecu-
ton.

HUNTERS ISLAND Is OURS

WASHINGTON;e Dec .-s-Representa-
tive Heatwole today received a map Of
the Rainy Lake region Of Minnesota
showing the true northern boundary
of the United States at Hunters island
and all the water coursed in that vicin-
ity. According to this map, the only
continuous water course around Hunt

Around the opposite sidek there are two
portages. The treafyff between the
United States and Great Britain pro-
vides that the boundary between this
country and Canada shall be along
continuous water courses. and this map
shows conclusively that Hunters ISL

been in dispute belongs to the Unit

be said that Representative Towne's

The insurgent leader, Antonio Maceo real
izing the imposs:bility OF remaining in Pinar

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. 9.-The Gu
ban leaders here and at Tampa deny
the reports from the Spanish Office at
Havana of the deaths of Gen. Maceo
or the son of Gen. Gomez. Although re-
ports from Havana are meager, yet
enough has been received to prove that
the friends of the insurgents in the
Spanish capital do not believe the re-
ports of Maceo's death. The palace Of
ficials do not confirm the mornings
report by any further details, which
leads the Cuhans to think that this is
only a canard intended to influence the
American congress now in session.
The leaders here have made diligent in
quiry today, but have received nothing
to induce them to believe that Maceo
has been killed.
The correspondents reports from Ha-
vana this evening differ in details re-
garding the reported death of Maceo.
American correspondents sent couriers
to the scene of the battle, but they
were chased back to this city by the
Spanish troops. Gen. Weyler tele-
graphed from Artemisa to Havana for
reinforcements on the 7th inst, stat
ing that he had Maceo hemmed in.
Following is copy of the letter
written in pencil which was found on
the body Of the youth supposed to be
Francisco Gomez:
Dear Mamma, Papa, Dear Brothers: l die
at my post. / did not want to abandon the
body Of Gen. Maceo. and | stayed with him.
I was wounded in two places, and as / did
