MACEO'S DEATH.
Habans Not Satisfied as to the Truth Of
the Stories Told.

HABANA, via Key West, Dec. 16.-
Maceo's death is still surrounded by
mystery. The body is undiscovered
and no further proofs have been ad
duced except the official statement
which leads the Cuoans to think he is
still alive. In fact, the residents of
Punta Bravo, the vicinity in which
the engagement occurred, disbelieve
the story. Zeltucha continues to give
extraordinary evidence. He snow says
the knife captured belongs to Gomez's S
son and not to Maceo. The Cubans
consider it significant tha! the objects
captured are not shown and also the
alleged written statements of Gomez S
son. ItisI also significant that no
Cubans have surrendered since the
leaders alleged death, proving either
that it will not affect the revolution,
or that Maceo is not dead. Many ru'
mors are afoat in connection with
Maceo's death and all are confusing.
One is that a major at CaSezas, Man
tanzas. telegraphed that Maceo passed
near the town with a large force
Another is that Aguirre has written
under date of the 10th, but does not
mention the fact. Many couriers
have been sent to investigate, but have
not returned. The Cubaus diS5elieve
the story that M8ceo was killed by
treachery. They say Msceo was not
easily trapped and would not accept a
flag Of truce even from Ahumada.
He knew the gentleman by his reputa

Some feeling has been aroused IN
the State through the public press
over the use Of Objectionable school
histories in the schools OF the State.
Some of these Objectionable books
have been named by The critics who
have engaged in the discussion. These
actionable books are principally
used in private schools and graded
schools, created by special legislation,
cver which this department has no
Jurisdiction. AZ attempt was made
at your last session to regulate this
mattor so far as these graded schools
were corcer. Ell, and in the discussion
on the subject some of the dangers in

presented The State Board, in 1895,
adopted Hansel's Histories for use in
the public schools. These are Unoo-

ment is concerned and so far as the
critics have expressed themselves.
Montgomery Beginners History was
also adopted by the State Board at tie

the State Board has adopted, and the

THOUSANDS DIE

Important Points About "Purifae," The
Great DlSinfGCtant,
Is. F. Post. |

In these enlightened days of the nine.
zenith century it is an acknowledged
fact that "an ounce of prevention il
worth a pound of cure" and that ounce
{ prevention was never better exempli-
fed than in the use of the great dis n.
ectant known as"Purifine." The public
nas had many disinfectants brought t.
heir attentiun. Some were good, some
we're bad, and some were simply indi-
fprent, hut none ever yet placed % tn,

qualities of 'Puritine.' In the first place

and antiseptic that would be odorless, a
most important matter,as users CT disin.'
ectants well know that The odor OF the
| lsinfectant, especially when in constant
use, becomes sickrning and disag reeable,
| Dttentimes as much so as the odor OF
| 'mel to be killed.
In a word "Puri6ne" is odorless, and
is work, removal, not creating one odor
| to cover another. 1t comes in highly
concentrated form, and when diluten
with two parts water there is not the
| slightest odor, rendering it suitable TO,
| places where food is kept. In the bath
room, sleeping room or about the house
generally it is indispensable.
| Then again it is non-poisonous, an all
important feature, for if used carelessly
by children or servants there are no
harmful results. and it is absolutely safe
| to have around the house.
| AS sample of its harmlessness it can
even be used in in refrigerators, and, il
accidently spilled no harm is done, and
| it is particularly adapted for this use
The uses for which "Purifne" is used are
almost limitless, and to enumerate then
would fill pages of The Post. For flush
ing sewers, and for cleansing sinks
drains, barns, urinals, water closets
floor cloths and the bed clothes from
sickness or infection it is invaluable.
