Would Abolish Them.

I'm view of the condition of affairs, I
have deemed it best to discontinue such
of these warehouses as were manifestly
not subscribing the purpose of their es-
Enlistment.
Il would recommend that the statute.
in this regard be so amended as TO limit
the privilege of storage in these ware
houses TO such spirits as may be APP
proved by this office and further that
provision be made for a charge of not
less thar % cents each for the general
bonded warehouse stamps and reware-
housing stamps which are affixed to
packages of spirits upon transfer from
a distillery warehouse to a general
bonded warehouse or from one general
bonded warehouse to another, which
charge. it is believed, would mainly de-
fray the expense TO which the govern
ment is put for the supervision and cor
troll of these warehouses. Unless action
to this effect should be taken it would
seem to be the best that the authority
for their establishment be withdrawn"

GEN. MACE0 DIES VERY HARD

Weyler Shows Unusual Lenicncy il,
the Case OF Dv. Zcrtuchu Who
Will BE Allowed to Go
to Spain.

New York, Dec. 15.-Passengers by ths
Ward Line steamer Sesuranca, from
Havana, discredited the report of Ma.
coos death. The steamer left Havana
December I. The captain says that al
least fifty soldiers in Major Cirujeda's
command knew Maceo well by sight
and could not have mistaken his iden
tlty. In view of this and the failure Of
the Spaniards to convey the body into
Havana. the report that Mace was
Killed is seriously doubted.
lust before the S~eguranca left Ha-
Nana 1T was said hat Macao's army,
with the general at its head, had sue
cessfully passed the Spanish )ine and
mad gone south into Havana province
oflciais of the cable report!
mat the land line between Havana and
Batabano was cut Saturday night
which would indicate that this teamel
report is true.
hey West, Fla. Dec. i4-Macao's
death is still discredited By the greater
humble of prominent Cuban here. Yet
there are a numbe who fear that 1t is
true. All await the arrival of the steam
snip from Havana today, however, be-
fore conceding ii to be true.
The Spanish consul received official
news of Maceo's death yesterday. The
report that DR.. Z%ertucha, who was Ma.
ceo's physician, had seen Maceo's body
eXhumed. is untrue. 1t is learned from
n reliable source that Iertucha never
was Maceo's physician. Some gentle
men here believe that Mace had formed
a plan with Gomez to go to the Havana
district to meet GomeZ's forces there,
as Gomez has sent 1000 men to the Ha,
Nana district. MaceS crossed the trocha
with 600 men, through Cayajabos.
In a skirmish with the forces OF Gen
eral Arolas after he had crossed the
trocha Maceo's forces wounded twelve
of the Spanish troops.
1t is reported that Maceo left Rios
Rivero. his second in command. who
landed from the United States Septem-
Der ], in charge of the insurgent forces
in Pinar del Rio. Rios Rivero defeated
the Spanish in the last var in the pres.
ence of ,Joyellarud.

Times march moves slowly, where weary
lives languish in dull places.
Dating from one unkept and unacllnowl-
edged birthday to another, Sydney WeSter-
field had attained the sixth year of her mar
tyrdom at school. In that long interval no
news of her mother, her brother, or her step
father had reached England; she had re-
ccived no letter, she had not even heard a re-
port. Without friends and without pros
poets, Roderici Westeitield's daughter was,
in the saddest sense of the word, alone in the
world.
The hands of the ugly old clock in the school
room were approaching the time when the

Hardened by a life of drudgcry. under con-

stood her ground, and recovered the use of
