OFFICIAL CUBAN lEiEGgAMS,

The official kilograms from the seat
of Cuban warfare give the general pub
lie about as incomplete an idea of the
true situation as it is possible TO gain.
There are encounters between the Span
ISL and Cubans. which are at first re
ported as Spanish victories and later as
Cuban victories, and vice versa. 1t has
remained for the St Louis Tribune to
compile the history OF General Maceos
death in the style in which Cuban his
tory of the present time is being writ
ten by various correspondents. The
Tribune sets forth the situation as fol-
lows:
And Maceo, the renowned in
surgent chief. was also killed this day.
He and his whole band were surround
ed and slaughtered. He died with the
cry, Long live The Republic,' on his
lips.
Nothing daunted, Maceo gathered
another band of desperate men and be-
gan TO desolate the surrounding coun-
ry. He plundered many homes and
burned the houses TO the ground. Luck
lily Colonel Hidalgo appeared in the
neighborhood with strong force, arm
ed with magazine rifles. Maceo's wicked
soul fed, for fourteen bullets had en-
tered his body.
--One more bullet and he would have
been lost. AS il was, the loss of blood
so weakened Naceo that he was hardly
able 10 accomplish his customary daily
victory on the following day. His head

Maeeo a few days later. He was made
prisoner and confronted with General
Carambo; and the General had him shot
there and then
I'VE have reason 10 suppose that
Maeo is at present in fortified position
where he intends TO await the attack
OF the Government troops. He can
hardly escape the troops sent out for
his capture, and will continue to die a
glorious death for Cuba and Liberty. .
The same story might be written OF
nearly every incident in the whole
struggle In the last dispatches, 1t was
announced that weyIer was ready to
treat for peace, and in the same col
umns were published accounts of the
thousands Of dollars being forwarded
TO the insurgents by American sym
I pathizers. also of more money and men
being sent forward from Spain TO carry
the war into the enemies country and
kill OF the rebels one by one if neces-
sary.
The people of the world are positive
of two things. that the fighting is still
going on and that the sugar crop is
doomed for another season On gen
eral principles these facts may be con
sidered as favorable 10 the rebels. II
Is certain that the Spanish method of
warfare is entirely inadequate TO cope
with the guerilla methods Of the insur-
gents, and 50 long as men and ammu-
milton are supplied by flibuster expedi-
lions. the insurgents viii continue 10
devastate the Island and harass the
Spanish troops.

The suggestion coming from the Blu

meet with hearty approval. At the pres

matter OF fact, this work ought 70
have been taken up by the business
men as 3 means OF advertising the

" does not seem TO have become suf-

proper that the agricultural bureau OF

pINGREE OF MICHIGAN.

The nomination of H. s. Pingree of
Detroit for Governor of Michigan is
one of the straws that point to a new
era in American politics. an era of re-
form that Will bring new men to the
front, and will in the end result in
hedging the power of corporations and
the moneyed interests. Mr. Pingree OBJ
tanned his first notoriety as the reform
mayor of Detroit, and has been to that
city what Roosevelt has been to New
York.
In the hands of the Democratic re
gime the municipal government of De
troit had become so corrupt that non
partisan movement headed by Mr.. Pin
gree, a Republican, was set on foot
and in 1894 he carried the city by a
narrow majority. Once in office, Mayor
Pingree carried out the spirit of the
platform on which he was elected, to
the letter. In fact his system OF reform
was so radical that a good number OF
the men elected on the same ticket
deserted him. Pingree demonstrated
that reform was to his mind some
thing more than party cry. 1t meant
business. and he suaightway proceeded
TO block several corporation grabs
much TO the disgust of the party man
ayers. He was snubbed on every hand,
dropped from society and condemned
by many of his business associates.
Notwithstanding all the opposition,
Pingee was nominated for a second
term as Mayor, and carried the city by
an increased majority. 1t was during
his second term that he made one of the
most remarkable speeches ever heard
in q municipal council chamber. He
accused the aldermen of having &C
cepted brides. and set forth the cor
rupt dealings that had been going on
with a decidedly uncomfortable clear
ness. Throughout his whole career as
a city Official he has stood by his prin-
ciples with an honesty Of purpose that
would, several years ago. have IN
doubtedly resulted in his Punishment
from politics The demand for honest
government has, however, taken hold
upon the people of Detroit at least that
the machine politicians cannot break.
It now remains to be seen what the
citizens of Michigan have TO say of re-
form candidates.
Pingrees nomination viii undoubted-
~ have a good effect upon the national
campaign of his party. He is a strong
advocate of bimetallism, but not a sill
verite, as is shown By his readiness to
support the Mckinley platform In
many respects he represents con-
servatiTe wing of the social revolution
OF which the Populist party is the radi-
al offspring. Like the Populists, he
realizes that there is something the
natter with the social and political
conditions OF his nation. but unlike the
leaders Of the Populists. he has an in
Ividual ground work Of good common
sense 10 work upon Like the majority
Of prominent Americans. Mr.. Pinree

Perkins of California, Wolcott Of

AS no free coinage bill possibly could

1t also is not unlikely that some of
