week, and Mr.. LaDgston says that they'
TOO. will be for Mr.. Reed, as will the white
delegates.
In the Fifty-first Congress. when Mr,
Reed was Speaker, he used bis influence 10
a great degree in having the colored Con-
gressmen who were contestants seated'
and the colored people have always ad
mired his pluck in counting quorums and
giving the men of the colored race their
peats in Congress. This has been the
argument used by the leading men OF the
race In securing delegates favorable to
Mr.. Reed.
1t 10 said that this argument is to be
used at the conference to be held here.
aud will be pointed 10 as one OF the best
evidences that II Reed succeeds to the
White House that the colored brother viii
not he entirely on the outside Of the breast
works.

DIR. Estrada Palma Comments on the Re-
ported Death of Maceo.
NEW YORK, Dec. 10 DR. Thomas
Estrada Palma and DR.. J. Castillo of
the Cuban junta in this city, refuse to
give credence to the report of the death
of General Maceo in recent engage
ment.
This is the seventh time that the
news of MaceO's death has been circu-
lated with the semblance of official au-
thority,' said the doctor Continuing,
the doctor said it had always been the
custom to report that Maceo had fallen
in conflict whenever he compelled the
Spanish to retreat with heavy loss of
HE.
IF he is dead, his death will not end
the contest" said Dr. Castillo, who in.
timated that he looked upon the report
in the light of Spanish fake.
II shall reserve my decision until l
receive more authentic information, !"
: was all that General Palma would say.
DIR. Castillo thinks it strange that in
making the Identification of Maceo's
body reference to the four bullet wounds
Oh his breast was not made
when the sixth report of his death
had been circulated, one g ~ ro+-.r
of identification given was the finding
of his initials, A. NJ, on his saddle.
saw the saddle and know there were no
such letters on it, added the doctor.

Feeling Of Disappointment In the Presi-
dents Utterances Reg riding Cuba.
CITY OF MEXICO. Dec. 9-There is
keen feeling of disappointment here
that President Cleveland could not set
his way to recognize the belligerency
of the Cubans. The Mexican Herald
says President Clevelands attitude to.
wards Cuba is another instance of let.
ting II dare not" wait upon II would. !"
He shows sympathy for the Cuban
patriots, but agrees that they have no
pretense of government in those por-
tions of the island that they occupy,
and he contends that the inefficient
semblAnce of authority kept by General
Weyler is all there is of legal and
constituted government in Cuba The
commercial reason for non.recognition
of the Cubans is shown in his state
ment that almost $5O,OOO,OO of
American capital is invested on the
island. which would be jeopardized by
according belligerent rights to the Gu.
bans, for as matters stand, the damage
sustained by American investors in
Cuba constitute valid claims against
Spain. In a word there is Gordian
knot within reach of the American
president and he will not cut it. The
Cuban patriots will have to await the
action of President Mckinley, and
Latin America which with practical
unanimitty will follow the example OF
the United Statess, must patiently
abide the change Of administration al
Washington.

The Rev. VIM. p. F. Ferguson, whose pic
cure We give above, will not be unfamiliar
by sight to many readers. A young man, he
has still had an extended experience as
foreign missionary, teacher, editor, lecturer
and pastor that has given him IA wide ac
quaintance in many parts of the country.
In an interview a few days ago he said:
." In the early summer of '94 went upon

Report of MaceO's Death Derided
by the Cuban Representative
at Washington.
3Ome of the Absurdities> Of the
Identification Are Pointed
Out.
Moreover, This Is the Seventh
Time a Similar Report Has
Been Circulated.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Senor De
LONE, the Spanish minister, received a
cable dispatch from Havana which
seems to bear out the press report of the
death Of Antonio Maceo and Young
Gomez. Owing to the fact that the
cable was sent before the press reports.
it is lacking in many of the details of
the latter. 1t says, in substance, that
after the engagement near Mariel, ON
Monday, two bodies were found on the
field, which from their clothing and
papers found upon them are taken to
be those Of Maceo and his young COM
panion.
Senior De LONE declined to discuss
the probability of the report, but ex.
poets fresh advices from the govern
ment at Havana.
Cubans do Not Believe 1t.
At the Cuban headquarters here, no
alarm is felt at the reported death of
the insurgent general. Second Secre-
tary Diaz Albertini, who is the only
member of the junta now in the city,
expressed himself in most positive
terms that the story had no basis of
truth, and was sent out for the sole
purpose of influencing, and if possible
deferring action by, the congress of the
United States.
You will notice. said the secretary,
"that the story contains very many de-
tails of the finding of the body, the
marked linen and letters from the elder
to the younger Gomez. 1t is really
amusing to learn that
Maceo Wore Silk Socks
containing his initials worked in red
silk, and that his linen and that of the
younger Gomez, whose body Is said to
have been found near that of his chief,
was also marked with his initials. Any
one who knows either of these men
knows that they have not seen, much
less worn, linen shirts and silk socks
for many a day. This part of the story
is quite ridiculous and bears unmistake-
able evidences of Spanish origin. And
then the letter to young Gomez. A
Cuban father in writing to his child
never signs his name as this letter was
signed I'M. Gomez" That is q cold
formallty that Cuban never employs.
He would have signed Your Father
1.-THE whole story is feeble and
transparent attempt to delay action by
congress, and nothing else. The
United States and the Spaniards too,
will soon learn that Maceo is very much
alive -

from the corpse Of the elder of the two,
it was found to have under it fine
undershirt with the initials "A. M"
upon it. The pair of back silk socks
on this body containing the same init.
ials worked in red. There was gold
ring on the finger contained OH the in
ner rim the engraved inscription "An-
tonic y Maria Arevolver with an ivory
handle and mark ed, tcgether with
small gold mounted telescope. were
also found on the body. The head of
the younger mans body was resting
upon the body of the first. There was
found OH it a silver watch, an ammuni-
tion bag and several handkerchiefs
bearing the initials IF. G."
Caused Sensation in Havana.
The news that Antonio Maceo had
met his end caused the greatest sensa-
tion in Havana and was deemed very
encouraging to the Spanish cause.
Since the famous raid of the Cubans
across the whole of the island last year,
when Maceo invaded Pinar del Rio
while Gomez returned to the eastern
provinces, the mulatto general has held
his own in the western province against
the utmost efforts Of the Spaniards to
dislodge him. He transferred the
whole seat of war from the east to the
west, and while his enemies claimed he
had run into trap, and built strong
trocha across the island to keep him
there, he continued his indefatigable
campaign and consistently claimed al
ways that he could cross the trocha
when he wished and effect junction
with Gomez in the east.
The diary Of Maceo's operations,
found with the body, says that Maceo
himself was wounded before crossing
the trocha in a skirmish at Vejeranom
Dec. 3.
The afternoon papers are out with
extras seeming to confirm the report of
the death of General Maceo.
