Of the death and escape of Maceo,

his death, Maceo was coming,

ference with a Spanish general
when he was ambushed and killed.

trayed him. Another accountst states
that Maceo escaped from. the
ambush, and is still alive. 1t is
generally believed, however, that
the Cuban was killed, and Ameri.

that Spanish treachery accom-
plished it. The people and
officials of the United States arc
almost prepared to extend material
aid to the Cubans in driving the
Spanish oppressors from Cuba, and
If it is proven that Maceo's death
was caused by the treachery Of a
Spanish commander it will add
greatly to the present public SEN

Spain has not been able to restore
