OTHER LEADERS OF ABILITY.
Death Of MaceO Would Not Seriously
Affect the Cuban Revolution.


Affect the Cuban Revolution.
The Cuban representatives in this country
still refuse to credit the report of General
Maceo's death, and even if Maceo were
dead, they say, there are other leaders in
lie insurgent army able and ready to take
his place. Mr.. Palma, the head of the Gu
han junta, says that the news, even II 1t
were confirmed, would not seriously affect
the progress of the struggle or cause any
change in the plans. The Philadelphia
Press this morning contained the following
signed communication from Mr.. Gonzalo
de Quesada, the charge d'affaires of the
Cuban republic in this city:
1.-THE Cuban legation at Washington have
received no official communication in re-
gard to the death of Gen. Antonio Maceo
except q dispatch received by Thomas Es-
trada Palma from a most reliable source
reading as follows:
Maceo passed the trocha on the 4th;
news Of his death absolutely false. I au-
thorize you to deny it,
'In a few days direct communications
from Havana will be received. As soon as
it is officially announced by the Cuban gov
eminent to Its representatives that General
Maceo Is dead, and that a lieutenant gen.
eral OF the army has been appointed, the
Cuban legation will then announce 1t. I'm
til then 1t cannot admit the truth Of the re-
port.
If the Cubans should be so unfortunate
as to lose this gallant chief, instead of
diminishing their ardor their efforts would
only be redoubled. General Gomez, after
the death Of Marti and Borrero at the be-
ginning Of the revolution, declared that the
leaders might perhaps fall, 3but that others
would take their places, yana that the revo-
luton would continue tntiN Cuba obtained
its independence. This owaB at the begin
ming Of the war, whenithe veterans were
almost indispensable. Had Maceo or Co.
mez been killed then tie revolution might
have suffered severe check.
Major General Cali$to Garcia. under
whom Maceo fought In the last war, and
who now commands the military depart
.nent OF the east. and Who. in case of the
confirmation Of Naced's death. win un-
doubtedly succeed him, rs lieutenant gen.
eral, has just captured fhe important town
Of Guaimaro, after reducing its fourteen
forts. He also destroyed the defenses Of
Cascorro and San Miguel besides captur-
ing important convoyss-
Not only is General Garcia fully able to
succeed General Maceo, but Major General
Rius Rivera, veteran OF the last war.
who, with General Maceo was a pupil OF
General Gomez, has lately arrived In the
province of Pinar del Rio
AS far as the effect in the island Is con-
cerned. II the death Of Marti in the frst
days OF the revolution did not cause the
patriots to waver, the death today Of any
leader would not blind them to the strength
Of their position. the power Of which is adj
mitted by both the President Of the United
States In his message and the report Of the
Secretary of STATE" 81.

NOW JUDGE MERRICK.
To Sit on the Bench of the Seventh
MARYLAND Circuit.

Geo. c. Merrick Of Prince Georges county
was yesterday appointed by Gov. Lowndes
Judge of the seventh judicial district Of
Maryland. to succeed Judge Brooke. and
today the new judge qualified before Clerk
Robert Ogle of the superior court in Balti-
more. This appointment lasts until the
election in November. Judge Merrick's ap-
pointment was strongly urged by Congress-
man-elect Mudd. and 1t is nearly certain
that he will be the nominee for the full If
teen-year term. One of the new judges
first duties will be. along with his asso-
ciates. to select q successor. to serve until
November. to the late Clerk Of the Court
John Belt, who died in this city. There Is
some talk OF appointing Mr.. Belts son to
the place, while Mr.. Clarke, the editor Of
the Laurel Free Quill, is also spoken Of as
an exceedingly available man.

FIRST DULL RACING DAY.
There Were No Very Exciting Events
Yesterday.
The Match Race Between Fitz
simmons and Charivari Won
by the Latter.

For the first day of the week the at
tendance at the races yesterday was
very good though by no means equal to
the best days last week. The weather
was cool and delightful, and the track
fast. So many horses were scratched,
however, that interest in many of the
heats was marred.
Heilbron Bros filly Lilly Lilac had
little difficulty in winning the two-yeaf-
old trot, by which she enriched her own
ers to the tune of ST 800
The 2:20 pace was won by Bill Frasier
in three straight heats, making two
events in which the favorites We're sue
cessful.e Laurel the speedy, but uncer-
tain daughter of Nephew, her dam by
Electioneer, acted just as she did last
week Although she could trot all
around her competitors IN the 2:30 class,
she was distanced in the first heat by
constantly breaking. Ellert, selling at
odds of ) to l. won the second and third
heats, the first falling to Wow
The real sport of the day was fur
nished by the match race between w. P.
Fuller's trotter Fitzsimmons and
Charles A. Hugs Charivari, driven by
their owners. Fuller is the well-known
millionaire dealer in paints and oils,
ard Hug is Adolph Spreckels' man
ager. Neither was familiar with the
details of track rules, and Starter Nc
Nair seemed to put a little more ginger
than usual into words and manner as
he lectured the drivers, ordered them
about and piled on the fines The crowd
accepted it all as q great joke, and prob
ably it was so intended
In the first heat both drivers acted as
if afraid of their horses, and there was
no real driving done until just as Hug
neared the score about sixty yards in
frcnt of his adversary Then someone
shouted. and he made several attempts
to look back as If to see whether or
not F'itzsimmons was likely to climb
upon his back, at the same time driving
for dear life. The heat was made in
2:2S.
The second and third were good heats.
After Fitzsimmons had broken twice
and lost many lengths Fuller got him
down to his work and drove Charivari
