PART OF sPAIN's ARMY GONE.

About $4,000 Soldiers Absolutely
Disappear.
ST. Louis, February PA special to
a local paper says: A dispatch from
Havana reports $4,000 Spanish soldiers
missing in Cuba. The fact has been
communicated to the Madrid govern
ment and search for their whereab bouts
is going on day and night Official
circles are in a state of alarm, for
Is 600 men, with Il, 900 rifles and 500,
900 cartridges. is an enormous item to
the Spanish army. The disappearance
of the men will ultimately be traced
either to death in battle, the number
which has been concealed to hide the
Spanish losses, details to positions in
various parts of the island of which no
record has been kept, or assertions to
ioin the rebels with their arms in every
province in the island. An order was
issued by General Weyler a few days
ago for report of the number, posi-
ton and condition of the army.
Responses to this, it is said, have
increased the confusion and there are
reports now from reliable sources that
there are 20, 900 men, instead Of $4,000.

KILLING OF MAcEo AFFIRMED.

Foundation of the Report That the Cuban
Leader Has Been Slain.
HAVANA, February 24.-What is con-
sidered here as strong confederation Of
the report of the death of Antonio
Maceo, has been received. 1t seems
that the squadron of Talavaro was
making charge upon group OF IN
surgents when three of the women who
are fghtidg in the insurgent ranks,
and who have come to be designated as
amazons, made their appearance. The
Spanish troopers had dismounted, and
under shelter of fence, discharged
their mansurs into the insurgent ranks.
A large numI er of the latter were seen
to fall at the moment of the yolley, the
women carrying away many of the
wounded Nine of the wounded We're
thus conveyed to nearby house. One
of these died, and the body was Sc
cretly spirited away by the insurgents
and their friends. People living in the
neighborhood affirm that the body thus
secretly taken away was that of the
dashing mulatto insurgent general,
Antonio Maceo. The troops are also
alleged to have captured riderless
horse, the saddle all blood stained and
the initials "a NJ"

BIG DECREASE IN THE BONDED IN
DEBTEDNEss OF KANSAS.
s2o17,475 DURING 's5 AND 's6.
AUDITOR COhE,s. REPORT MAKES A
GRATIFYING SHOWING.
Only Twentx-tIrree of the 104 Coun-
ties HIVE Increased Their Bond
ed Indebtedness in Two
Years, While 81 Have
Decreased 1t.

Topeka, Kas., Dec. 30.-tSpecial.) The
bonded Indebtedness of Kansas, including
state. county. city. township, village,
board of education and school district, was
decreased s2,0l7 1870 during the years 1895
and 1896. This is a phenomenal showing
when the depressed condition of financial
affairs and the extremely low prices for
grain during those years are taken into
consideration. 1t shows the wonderful re-
sources of the Sunfiower state and its
ability to pay its legal public obligations.
These figures are not mere guess work.
They were taken from the reports of the
state auditor. In those reports an itemized
account of the bonded Indebtedness is given
by counties. The figures are obtained
from the various. county clerks and they
are required to attach an affidavit that the
statements are absolutely correct.
The last report of the state auditor has
just been, published, and it shows that of
the 104 counties in Kansas only twenty
three have Increased their bonded in
debtedness since the issuance of the
auditors report for 1888 and 1894. The in
debtedness of eighty-two counties was de-
creased. Kansas as a state owes but little
money. The report for 1893 and 1894 shows
that its bonded Indebtedness was only SOL
900. During the past two years, 1t has been
reduced $4,000 and now aggregates only
S6S2, 900 The following will show the amount
of increase or decrease of the municipal in
debtedness of each county in the state dur
