 Havana, via Key West, Fla. Dec. 16. -Maceo's death is still surrounded in mystery, The body is undiscovered, and no further proofs have been adduc- ed except the official statement which lead the Cubans to think that he is still alive. The residents of Punta Brava, near where the engagement occurred, disbelieve the story. Zertucha contin- ues to give contradictory evidence.
 The Cubans consider it significant that the objects captured are not shown and also the alleged written statements of Gomez's son. It is also significant that no Cubans have surrendered since the leaders alleged death. Many ru- mors are afloat regarding Maceo's death, and all are confusing. Many couriers have been sent to investigate, but have not returned.
 It is said that important encounters have occurred in Pinar del Rio and Matanzas, but the details are suppress ed by the government, which is trying to impress the public with the idea that the rebel ranks are demoralized since Maceos alleged death, and shirk fights. The rebels, however, are displaying more activity, even in the vicinity of this city.

that were objected to were the payroll of the police department and the ap- propriation for the extension of Union avenue
 Alderman Guernsey wished to take a part of this money and apply it to sprinkling streets, which, he said, had been only provided for until June l., 1897. He contended that the matter of extending Union avenue was of little consequence compared with the loss and inconvenience to citizens arising from the dusty streets. He was re- minded by MessTs. Rourke and Lam bert that the property holders along Union avenue had been deprived of their rights for several years. It was time that they should be remedied. The board of finance had appropriated the 200 for the purpose of giving these property holders their rights, and he asked his colleagues to sustain the re- port.
 Alderman RoUrke asked for yea and nay vote. Those voting yea on the amendment, which was to take $l500O from the account and apply it to the sprinkling account, were I. Bromley, Belden. Guernsey, Murray, Brennan, Collahan, ChillingWorth, Smith-S; and those voting nay were Lambert, Whit taker, Hamilton, Rourke, Parish, For syth, Kelly, Macdonald-10.
 Two thousand dollars was taken from the account of crosswalks and cobble gutters and appropriated to grading and curbing Edgewood avenue, west of Mott street.

ECHO FROM CALAVERAS
THE PROSPECT" HAS It's SAY
ABOUT AN ENTERPRIs1Na
ProNEER

Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Foorman have Just re-
turned after an extended visit TO Mokelumne
Hill. During his stay in Calaveras Mr Foor-
man visited many points of interest, and was
the subject of an interesting interview in that
enterprising newspaper, the Calaveras Pros
pect.
The following extracts from the re ported in
terview will be read with interest by the many
friends OF the worthy president of the Moke-
lumne and Campo Seco Canal and Mining Com

After paying q neatly turned and graceful
compliment 10 the popular pioneer the Pros
pect states: "Mr. Foorman says he notices

from the placid, easy-going days of yore and

clares the place no longer looks like the old

'The company which Mr. Foorman represents
is the Oldest in the country, and its works
cover an area of something like forty or fifty
miles. extending from the mountainous re-
gions around West Point to the valley lands of

said that one-half of the country wants

"No political party will do away with all

so lar as honesty is concerned, both in

ciusion that both good and bad politicians
are tarred with the same brush. Nobody

rotten foundation. The ages Of chivalry

JEHOVAH OR BAAL?
The Rev. DIR. Ollie Exhorts His People
to Live Actively in the Lords
Service.

Service.
The sermon preached last evening by
the Rev. E. R. Ollie at the Central M. e.
Church was entitled, "a Calllo Decision"
The text was from Kings, "How long halt
We between two opinions?"
After referring to the duel of the deities
on Mount Carmel, where, at the request of
the Prophet Elijah, fire descended from
heaven and the followers of Baal were
weaned from their idol worship and forced
to recognize Jehovah as the only true
God, the speaker said: "When humanity
cries out, every star. every blade of grass,
every flower, every tree, every river, every
brook and every mountain proclaims the
existence of the Lord.
II say to you, if you believe in Jehovah,
the manly thing for you to do is to follow
him. Many laymen intend eventually to
become Christians, but delay too long, and
at the close of sinful and selfish life think
to say prayer, repent and so slip into
heaven through the in6nite mercy of God.
This is a mean policy to pursue, and it is
not always safe to rely for salvation upon a
deathb bed repentance.
''Tis true that there are many unworthy
Christians in this world, but then the
church is our common mother and we
should be the last to see her faults. Would
that all of our churches were united, then
we should be so strong that we could put
down the saloons and stamp out political
corruption.
"Laymen are as responsible for the sal
vation of souls as churchmen. We should
enter into the service of the Lord, not for
our own sakes merely, but because he
needs US to aid in reclaiming our fellows.
Choose then between Jehovah and Baal,
for eternal life is of far greater value than
wealth or temporal power"
The speaker illustrated his discourse by
references to current topics.

Strange Discovery of the Body
of an Unknown
Man.
HAD BEEN DEAD SOME TIME.
Dumb Sympathy Exhibited by the
Only Friend of the Dead
Man.

It was by the whims OF dog-a lonely
neglected, friendless little creature-that
the dead body of an unknown man was
found in Laurel Hill Cemetery yesterday.
1t had lost its master, and for three days
it tried to attract the attention of passers-
by and lead them to where the body lay.
1t was followed by lady yesterday, and
bounding along the path it brought her to
an unmade grave, and then with a moan
it curled up by the head of what had once
been its master.
The body lay in an unfrequented DO
tion of Laurel Hill Cemetery and it had
evidently been there several days. 1t was
that of man apparently about so years
of age, attired in brown suit of clothes,
white shirt and black tie. A much-worn
slouch hat lay a few feet from the body,
where it was dropped as its owner, it is
presumed, stricken with heart disease,
reeled and fell to the ground dead.
Without doubt the dead man was the
master of the dog. During the last few
days the little animal had been frequently
seen wandering around the cemetery. A
number of attempts to drive it away were
unsuccessful; it always returned, and
would whine piteousIy as though in sor-
row. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. L. G.
Aver, who resides at 640o Mission street,
had occasion to visit the cemetery.
She had not been there long, however,
before the peculiar actions of the dog at
tracted her attention. 1t appeared to be
making an attempt to inform her regard
ing some unusual occurrence some dis
tance away. Mrs. Aver finally decided to
follow the dog which had so singularly at
trscted her. She did, and the little mes
senger led her to the body of its master.
Mrs. Aver then notified II. N. Pearson,
assistant superintendent of the cemetery,
as to her discovery. The Coroner's Office
was then notified, and Deputy Coroners
O'Brien and Smith went to remove the
BODY to the Morgue. When they arrived
the little dog went up to the body and,
crouching up close by the head, refused to
leave.
1t was carried some distance away in
the hope that it would remain. but as soon
as 1t was released it hurried back and
once more lay down by its masters head.
The body was finally deposited in the re-
ceiver. and the little dog. the only
mourner, was taken TO the cemetery house.
The body was taken to the Morgue, but
tbs forlorn little animal still whines pitt
fully in his loneliness.
