CUBA LOSES A GREAT GENERAL.
How He "Ran Into . Trap" That Was q
Very Poor Affair.

How He "Ran Into Trap" That Was .
Very Poor AFFAIR.
Such are the details of the identifica-
tion upon which the Spanish officials
rely for their firmly expressed con-
viction that Antonio Maceo has met his
end. No news that has been received
since the outbreak of the war has
caused so great a sensation in Havana
or has been deemed so encouraging to
the Spanish cause. Since the famous
raid of the Cubans across the whole
OF the island last year, when Maceo in
vaded Pinar del Rio while Gomez re-
turned to the eastern provinces. the
mulatto general has held his own in
the western provinces against the ut
most efforts OF the Spaniards to dis
lodge him.
He transferred the whole seat of war
from the east to the west end. and
while his enemies claimed that he had
run into a trap and built a strong
trocha across the island to keep him
there be continued his indefatigable
campaign and consistently claimed al
ways that he could cross the trocha
when he wished and effect a junction
with Gomez in the east.
Ihe diary of Maceo's operations found
with the body in addition to the details
already stated says that Maceo himself
was wounded before crossing the trocha
In skirmish at Vejeranom. Dec. 3.
AFTER crossing the trocha on Dec. 4 he
Joined the local Havana bands Of the
insurgents. Major Cirujeda arrived in
Havana at noon yesterday with the
documents which had been taken from
nj
Gomez.
Time and again reports have been
received from Cuba OF Maceo's death
in action. or his suicide, always to be
refuted by his later activities. There
Is no doubt that many people will doubt
the authenticity Of the report now re-
ceived Of his death. though no previous
report fas given such exact details of
the circumstances OK his death or the
facts of Identification.
The report published In the United

Young Gomez Suicides BY the Side q BIS
Chief.
Washington, Dec. 9.-Spanish
Minister Delome received o cable
from Havana last night reporting
the death of Antonio Maceo and
young Gomez. It gave no news fur
ther than already published. At
Cuban quarters here no alarm is
felt at the report Of Maceo's death.
The belief is that the story was sent
out to influence action by congress.
1t is pointed out that the story con-
tains many details about finding
marks on the linen and bodies Of
Maceo and Gomez, letters from
young Gomez's father. silk stockings
on Maceo, etc which are known to
be inconsistent with the facts.
Maceo and his companions have not
seen, much less worn linen shirts and
silk socks for many day. They de-
clare the Spaniards will soon learn
that Maceo is very much alive.
Spanish Minister Delome today re-
ceived the following from the min
lister of state at Madrid: "Confirm
officially the death Of Leader Antonio
Maceo in a glorious battle for our
troops; also the suicide of the son of
Maximo Gomez"
