Killed in Battle.
HAVANA, Feb 22.-The rumor that
Gomez has been wounded has been fol-
lowed by the startling rumor that An.
tonic Maceo has been killed. This
like former rumor, is not yet con-
firmed. Colonel Molino met the in.
surgents under Maceo between La
Catalina and San Nicolas, and the fight
is said to have resulted in very great
loss to the insurgents, besides the re-
ported death of Maceo. A report
reaches here from the Island of Santo

filibusterers in those waters made an
attempt to capture q Spanish merchant

THE FRENCH CRISIS.
The Whole Constitution May be Called
Into Question.

The Whole Constitution May be Called
Into Questio
PARIS. Feb. 22.-The general opinion
here is that the political crisis has been
rendered more acute by the second vote
of confidence passed by the chamber of
deputies. 1t is expected that the senate
will persist in it's resistance to the dep
uties and therefore further trouble is
anticipated. A few of the newspapers,
however, think that the senate will
yield under the fear that revision of
the constitution might result in the
abolishment of that body.
The conservative organs declare that
the cabinets victory brings the whole
constitution into question.

Jumped Upon.

tiOnality of the Proposed
Measure.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 22.-There was a
hot time in the assembly after the in
PRODUCTION of the report Of the con-
ferencs committee with the bill for the
new apportionment. The assembly at
once went into committee of the
whole to consider the measure, and
three assemblymen, Sloan, Burdick and
Jones. violently opposed the bill on the
grounds that it was unconstitutional.
The bill was finally allowed to 60 over
until afternoon, when there is not
likely to be any further debate, because
the indications are now that an ad-
journment will be taken until next
week.
It Was q Surprise to All.
The return of the senate bill, as ar
ranged by the legislative apportion-
ment committee to the legislature un-
modified, was surprise to the parties
most interested. Only two of the Re-
publican members of the committee ap.
pointed lT both houses as a conference
committee to arrange the bill, how.
ever, voted against the bill. They were
Assemblymen Burdick and Stillman.
The her three who voted against the
measure were Democrats, Senator Ken.
nedy and Assemblymen Rosencranz
and Schellenberger There were three
absentees. and the other IL members OF
the committee voted solidly for the bill.
A serious attempt was made to agree
upon some other manner Of apportion.
ment. but that being apparently inn
possible, the original measure was
taken up and adopted by the committee.
