|MACEO'S DEATH.
General Weyler Makes a
Statement at habana.
Died aSO Other Generals Did In All
Wars of the World.


New York, Dec. 15.-The New York
Worlds correspondent at Habana sent
last night the following signed state
ment from General Weyler on Maceos
death:
"Maceo died as a result Of the feeble
state in which were the insurgents
bands in Habana province. Doubtless,
before the sudden attacks and the con-
slant persecution OF the battalion OF San
Quintin, they were losing ground. TO
reorganize those bands he put himself at
their head, and for this he died, together
with a number OF his officers and men.
In the same manner have died many
generals in all the wars OF the world
"Maceo was not killed i'm an ambush.
MY assertions can be proved by the fact
that the Spanish column whicn fought
against his forces had TO maintain itself
against the fire OF the insurgents and the
Insurgents were strong enough In mum
ber to retake the bodies OF Maceo ana
the son of Maxine Gomez, which were
carried from the field.
"Maceo was surrounded by his own
men. who embarked with him and passed
the trocha, ii is affirmed by his own ply
sician, DR.. Zertucha-
"It Is not true that Maceo was coming
from any conference with me. l can
prove Ii with two reasons. The first IL
that il was in the province of Pinar del
Rio. how could / summon him to the
province Of Habana? The second Is, that
knowing myself the situation In which
Maceo was in Pinar del Rio, knowing
that his situation was so desperate that
he asked help from the rebel forces in
the other parts Of the island. / would
not be so innocent as to agree to con-
ference with him in place where he
would be out of the trocha.
"Once in Habana he would have re-
solved the problem of breaking the circle
in which l had him and his forces In
Pinar del Rio.
"Maceo died as all who command
forces who at the sight of the enemy fly.
This discouraged band he brought TO
Habana province with the hope of MAX
ing 1t fight. Any other chief, in similar
circumstances, II his men disbanded
would be sure to die, and that is what
happened to Maceo."

q Great Scheme In China For the Relief
% All Human Ills.
In ono Of the faroff corners of Peking
tho natives have an established method Of
curing even the most deadly diseases by
an application of brass mule.
You will not find this remedy In the
pharmaoopnia, and local physicians will
probably tell you that the panacea, which
Il really seems to be, Is something unfa-
miliar to them. But that the brass mule
cure Ia real and lasting no one who has
watched Its effects can doubt.
DR. p. II. Redman, one of the most rep.
utable physicians of New York. has re-
turned from two years sojourn In China
and vouches for the efficacy Of the brass
mule cure.

every imaginable disease seek this temple

as follows: Suppose you suffer from SCI

FILiBUsTgR CHASING.
Cruisers Newark and Raleigh at Sea Trying Il
Catch the Three Friends.

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. Ia special
received by The Citizen from Key West
states that cruisers Newark and Raleigh
received telegraphic instructions from
Washington at noon yesterday, and
that the cruisers at once put to sea to
capture the steamer Three. Friends,
which left Fernandina at an early hour
yesterday morning with cargo of arms
and ammunition, besides about 30
Cubans, to be landed in Cuba.
Instructions were also received for the
revenue cutter McLain at Miami and the
Winona and Forward at Key West to
intercept the Three Friends If possible.
Every effort will thus be made to catch
the little flibuster, which succeeded
in getting away with its cargo, despite
the vigilance Of the government officials
and the Spanish spies. This was done
by using the Commodore rs a decoy, the
Cubans announcing that all Of the prep
arations being made were to send the
Commodore with a cargo of arms and
ammunition to Cuba. The Commodore
lay at it's wharf, and no attempt was
made to clear from the custom house.
The actual cargo carried by the Three
Friends was as follows: Four hundred
thousand rounds Of ammunition; 1040
rifles; one 12-pound Hotchkiss gun; 200
machetes; 1000 pounds of dynamite, be-
sides quantity of medicine, provisions,
etc.

the nose AS a rule 1t is no index Of char
