MACEO'S DEATH.
SAID TO HAVE BEEN ASSASSI-
MATED UNDER A FLAG
OF TRUCE.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Dec. 13.-Au-
tonic Maceo, the famous Cuban leader,
who for months defied all the forces of
Spain; who crossed and recrossed the
Trocha at will and who achieved bril-
liant victories against overwhelming
odds, is undoubtedly dead.
Maceo was not killed in battle where
the chances were even, but under cover
of a flag of truce, he was trapped by
the Spaniaris and then cruelty shot to
death, the members of his staff being
murdered with him.
These statements are beyond dispute.
They are youched for by one of the
most prominent citizens Of Havana.
Immediately after the reported death
of Maceo this gentleman made a thor
ough investigation and soon learned
that Maceo and his staff had been killed
near Punta Bravo, and that they were
the victims of as dark treachery as ever
delighted a Spaniard. This gentlemen,
whose name is withheld for obvious
reasons, wrote a letter giving details Of
the assassination to the agent of the
Cuban Junta in Jacksonville.

had an engagement with an insurgent
force not named, and precisely in the
place where General Maceo was muir

had previous knowledge of the horse
which General Maceo was to ride.
How did lie acquire that knowledgeY

glory of the event to the Marquis Of

with an insidious skepticsm implanted
forever by irreverend egotisn. And be-
cause we did not provide for them at our
table. And all the time the Master calling
unto us as He did to the fishermen of Gal
lice, "Give ye them to eat"
Build because patriotism requires it. A
church edifice,a complete workshop for the
artzans of God, such as is contemplated,
will draw the attention of the Christian
world to this city and country, and no.
where in the next ten years can they
attempt church for practical work with
out consulting and considering the institu-
tional building we contemplate. 1t will do
SO much more for real estate here than any
other scheue of advertising that persons
interested would find it a speculation to
assume half its cost. The greatness and
comprehensiveness of plan has no dupli-
cate in the Methodist world, nor indeed in
any sther in all it's detail. But it will have
an hundred duplicates in the next five
years after it's erection. And nobody can
see or hear of the original or an imitation
without their attention being drawn to Los
Angeles-ths paradise of flowers and
beauty and culture and sunshine. Where
the youth of age is renewed and the invalid
walks out free as from pool of healing
waters. And when so much enterprise in
the work of God concentrates itself the
people will want to come.
Build because loyalty to Christ demands
it.
If an honest Methodist you must believe
that the speedy salvation of the world and
of this community can be best secured by
your own communion. Then what shall be
said of your relation to the purposes of
Jesus If you do not seek to make possible 10
all who are willing to use them those ap-
pliances which you believe most effective?
Build because fealty to Methodism re-
quires it. Why should we not love our own
and seek to concern its interests? The
principle of propaganda is divinely i'm
planted. No man amounts to anything in
business or anywhere else who has not AM
bition to extend the things with which he is
connected. The church that saved your
fathers, at whose altars you were converted,
or whose comrnunions you have adopted,
if in your Judgment it is not worthy of ex-
tension get into something that is. But
first be sure that the fault is not in the
heart rather than in the system. Surely
with her high standards this denomination
must meet humanity on its own plain or it
would not have added communicant for
every seven minutes of the past year. Be-
sides from its altars every church in Pro-
testantism is being enriched both in pulpit
and in pew, and its spirit has SO entered
into modern Christianity that we are largely
walking by the same rules ana minding
the same spirit. Their line is gone out into
all the earth and her words to the end of
the world.

The IJniyersaIists

The Rev. j. W. Hanson, D. D., addressed
the Universalist congregation at Caledonia
hall yesterday from the text: "Until he
find it."-Luke xv-4.
The speaker took the law of physics
which states there is no loss or waste in the
material universe, and applied the same
principle to the teachings of Christianity
regarding the spiritual world. The teaching
is found in Luke XIV and throughout the
new testament. 1t is plainly taught, said
he, in the three divine parallels in Luke.
From them may be learned these truths

her hearers to carefully select the most
precious and mount them with the pure
gold of thankfulness into ornaments that
we might wear to the glory of God and to
the uplifting of all with whom we meet in
our daily life. Continuing. she said: "The
purest and most beautiful were our days of
joy, our days of peace, the peace of God
that passeth all understand ng,' days of
temptation, for which we are stronger, days
of anxiety, these do not come from God
but spring from our lack of faith, and most
precious of all, days of sorrow, black
pearls, priceless jewels were they without
which our lives would lack that touch of
divinity, for did not Christ appear to us as
a Man of sorrow and acquainted with
grief?' These days proved our kinship
with Him and that He spent such days
made us know that we are not alone when
grief lays heavy hand upon u.s."
The speaker said in closing, ~ cannot
count for you all the jewels of the year
past, but each one of you knows where
God has most blessed you, and so in your
hearts thank Him for the great goodness
that has flowed around you and made your
lives favored.'
Several prayers were offered and the
meeting was closed by singing the hymn,
