RumOrs About MaceO

Reports that Maceo is alive are
constantly coming from the field, and
all tend to show that he is recuperat-
ing rapidly.
Letters received in Havana from his
medical attendants explain the nature
of his wounds and confirm previous
reports of the character of the same
and repeat the story of Zer.ucha's
treachery. They say that Maceo,
with his staff, came to meet Ahumada
under flag of truce, and that Cru
jeda and his forces were ambush
ed.
AS soon as Maceo appeared the Span
iards opened fire. Maceo was in front
and fell from his horse. Gomez also
fell at his side. The rest of the staff,
some of whom were wounded, managed
to escape, and reached Baldo Mera.
Acosta's camp instantly gathered all
its small forces and rushed to the
rescue. They made a desperate fight
and drove Cirujeda into Puuta Bravo.
recovered the bodies and carried the
apparently dead Maceo with them.
He remained unconscious four days
and five nights and when prepared for
burial it was found that he was still
alive. AS soon as he was able to be
transported he was carried with the
greatest care and under strong escort
to the Cienega hospital, though others
| say to Siguanea.
1t appears that the project of the
Cubans as soon as Maceo is able to
move is to send him to the United
States, and steamer has already been
ordered for the purpose, and thus per-
| sonally prove that he is alive.

For the past month surveyors have been

work Wednesday and will report favorably
as TO the feasibility of the plan, which is
very similar to that of the Southern Cali
fornia Power company. Although this
plant will be just above that of the South
ern California Power company, it will
rather aid than tend to hinder the water
power of that company, as the fluming

water that will run into their reservoir

directly in competition with the Southern
Pacific Power company. they propose to
open new field to the north and east
1t being their intention to transmit cleo
tricity to Holcomb valley and other min
ing districts in the vicinity to furnish
power for the operation of the gold mines.
An electric road TO Bluff lake and Bear
valley is also talked of, as road operated
by their power would make saving in
the transfer of their own supplies that
would nearly compensate them for the
outlay. besides the large amount of travel
to these resorts in the summer. The men
at the head of the new company are men
