MACEO MURDERED.
Invited to a Conference and
Shot Down Like a Dog.
A Relic of Barbarism Which Has
Reused the Civilized World to
Cry Out in Horror.
Senator Call, of Florida, Presents Reso-
luton I'm Congress DenOuncing the
Manner of the Brave Pa
triOt's Death.

The story of the death OF the brave
Cuban patriot and Commanding
General, Antonio Maceo, as told
from official sources, fully sustains
the theory of assassination, and is
received with thrill of horror by
the whole civilized world. The
story of the brutal murder is about
as follows:
The Marquis of Ahumeda, who
officiated as captain general of Gu
ba during Gen. Weyley's absence in
the field, sent letter to Gen. Ma
Geo, inviting the Cuban leader to a
conference. Maceo, never for u mo-
ment thinking that treaehery was
intended, especially as the invita-
ton came from such a prominent
Spaniard as the Marquis Of Ahu-
media, Immediately returned an an
swer saying that he would be glad
to meet the Spanish general, and,
accompanied only by his staff he
went to the rendezvous, little
dreaming of the awful fate in store
for him. On arriving at the trocha,
the Spanish soldiers there, acting
under orders actually saluted the
rebel chieftain as he passed, and af-
ter reaching the rendezvous the Gu
ban leader was surprised to see, in
stead of the Marquis Ahumeda, a
large body of Spanish soldiers, who
seemed to come from every side.
The actions of the Spanish troops
were so suspicious that -Maceo felt
that they had him cruelty trapped,
and his suspicious were confirmed
when a peremptory order came from
a splendidly mounted officer to sur
render. "Never!n was the reply,
and hardly had the words been ut
tered when volley after volley was
poured into the little band of pa
triots, who, although hemmed in on
all sides, outnumbered almost 100 to
|, stuck spurs to their horses and
with cries of Cuba libre, rode gall
lantly to their death.
Maceo is reported to have fallen at
the first fire, with bullet through
his head, breaking his jaw. Another
hit him in the abdomen. Both were
fatal. Young Gomez was the next
to fall, and in few moments num-
Der OF bloody corpses, shot almost
beyond recognition, were all hat re-
NAMED of the gallant Cubans, who
trusted to Spanish honor. Onl y one
member of the staff escaped and
that was DR.. Zertucha.

BROUGHT BEFORE CONGRESS.
Senator Call of Florida springs the Cuban
Question.


Senator Call of Florida springs the Cuban
Question.
In the United States Congress last
Monday morning, attention was call
ed to the Cuban question by Senator
Call, of Florida, in three resolutions.
One denounced the killing of Gen.
Antonio Maceo as follows:
ResoIUed, That the killing os Gen. An
tonic MaceO, a renowned General in the
service of the republic of Cuba, if true,
while under flag of truce and with an
assurance of safety from the Spanish
Captain General, was in violation of the
rules of civilized war, an outrage of
base treachery, murder cOwardly and
disgraceful, which demands the exc
Grafton Of every Government and of all
the people of the world, whether civili-
zed or savage; that the Government
which authorizes, permits, or fails to
punish the assassins who are connected
in any way with the guilt of this crime
with the extreme penalty of the law, Is
an outcast from the family Of nations,
and from the pale of civilization and
public law.
"That the Committee of Foreign Rela-
tons be directed to make inquiry as to
the facts, and report to the Senate at an
early day." N
The resolution was referred to the
committee Of Foreign Rel ations,
and there, after the dilatory prac-
tice of the American House Of Lords,
it silently slumbers.

THE Davidson County Grand Jury,
which has just been discharged, re-
commended to the Legislature the
establishment of the whipping post
for petty offenses. This is one of the
barbarous punishments which the
progress of civilization and human
ity has long since forbidden. Its
tendency was thought not to reform
the criminal, but on the contrary, to
harden and brutalize any commu-
nifty which tolerates it.

An Honest Editor,

A Western exchange says that a
practical revivalist requested all in
the congregation who paid their
debts to rise. The rising was gem
eral. Alter they had taken their
seats, call was made for those who
didn't pay their debts, and one
solitary individual arose, who ex-
planned that he was an editor, and
could not because the rest of the
congregation were owing him their
subscription.

THE details of the assassination of
Antonio Maceo, the Cuban leader,
are horrible in the extreme. He was
invited to a conference by one of
Weyler's Lieutenants, and while yet
the flag of truce waived above his
head, was shot down. If these de-
tails of treachery and butchery be
true, the gallant Cubans will loose
nothing in the end by the death of
Maceo, great as the blow is; for
there are other great Cuban leaders
to take his place, and the deep
damnation of his taking off, will
enlist the effective sympathy of the
civilized world.
