THE news of Gen. Maeeo's death has been confirmed by Cuban dis patches and it is dark and foul blot upon Spanish arms. Instead of tine great Cuban leader being kill ed in battle, as the dispatches first stated, he was betrayed and foully assassinated by the Spaniards. He had been invited by Captain-Gen- eral Weyler's chief lieutenant, the Marquis of Ahumada, to confer ence to negotiate treaty of peace between the insurgents and the Spaniards. When the Cuban Gen eral and his staff had entered the Spanish lines they were summoned to surrender, which General Maceo refused to do, whereupon he and his entire staff were fallen upon by Spanish soldiers and ruthlessly mur- dered. This act Of Spain is dis grace to civilized warfare. The GRAPHIC has never been much Of a 'jingo" newspaper, but we now hope that the United States Con gress, now in session, will immedi- ately accord the Cuban patriots the rights of belligerents, and there by give liberty-loving Americans
 
 the right to take up arms in behalf of oppressed humanity on the island of Cnha.

The Double Yell.

A double veil is possibly the newest aid to woman's beauty and attractive ness A thin veil of the most delicate shade of pink tulle is first procured and over this is placed one of black with dots or designs in it. The two are securely fastened together, and the inn proyement in the appearance of the complexion is really wonderful. The fashion, which must have emanated from the brain of Frenchwoman, will be a blessing to the women who have bad or indifferent complexions.

Beautiful waists of chiffon or satin may be worn, as we'll as the fancy silk ones.
