Havana, Dec. 21.--Dr Zertucha, who

Iertucha has belonged in his day to all

time he was IA bandit in the Vuelta Alb

BILE 1t was quite ineXplicable to the
friends of General Maceo that he kept The
physician on his staff for so long a
period, notwithstanding the warnings
given him. Maceo used to say that Ter.
tucha's fault was his drink ng habit.
AT the time the famous Cuban com
mander was killed, Zertucha was charged
with leading him and his party into the
fatal ambush, but he issued statement
In which he tried to show that Maceo
met his death in battle in the usual way.
Iertucha also assailed the honor of the
other Cuban leaders. After the killing
of Maceo the dishonored physician was
allowed to 90 free by the Spaniards, and
it was said and generally believed that

WITHOUT A MAJORITY,
Hanna Will Have a Hard Fight
to Get the Senatorship.

Columbus, Ohio. Dec. 21.-The Senate
rial situation is crystalliziug. The anti.
Hanna Republicans will hold a caucus in
the Great Southern Hotel Saturday after,
noon, at the same time that the other Re.

pose of indorsing MIR. Hapna's candidacy.

lowing all.thaJ has been claimed for Sena-
tor Hanna in Hamilton county by his best
friends, the Republican majority on Joint

change of eight, according to the anti
Hanna leaders, has been accomplished.
The men are pledged and the programme
| is arranged.
Stories of change of twenty-five to
twenty seven votes have been rife in the
past. 1t may be doubted If they can be
relied on. Every possible vote will be &C.
cured by the anti Hanna men as a mat
ter OF course. But it IS hardly likely that
they have that number. but they claim
that when noses are counted, they will
be able TO show Il sufficient number of
men to surely defeat Mr.. Hama.

to Mr.. Hanna, insists that lie will be able
to deliver twelve votes to that end
There are others also to he counted on.

OFF TO THE KhONDlKE.

Inc operate eXtravagansa, "Off to the

dramatic club, scored great 'hit'' 1t
was by far the best amateur performance
ever given in Roanoke, and attracted one
OF the largest audiences of the season.
Everybody WIS enthusiastic and thor
onGhly pleased with the play in every re-
spect. Tie plot of the production was
admirable and indicated genius for such
things. The characters were woven in
with skill that would have done credit
to professional playwright. Applause
WAS the order of the evening, everything
taking right along. The three CHIEF
clerks, Wiggle. Maggie, Wee, were I'M
usually clever in their parts and their
songs and actions were features of the
entertainments John Luck, as Queen
Victoria, was supreme success and was
called before the curtain. Svengali and
Miss Prim were also prominent in the
fun making. All the local hits were i'm
mensc, and provoked frequent outbursts
of laughter. The infantry, bellies and
clerks.a knew their lines and threw con-
siderable animation into the scenes. The
marriage scene, the duel and the forrla-
ton of the Klondike agency were attrac-
tive features of the plot. The whole per-
formnnce reflected credit upon the pro
motors, the actors end the authors of the
play.

LETTER FROM TEXAS.
Garden Making for Winter Vegetables
P~rospectors Viewing the Land.

Missouri CITY, TEXAS, Aug. Owe
have had two inches of rainfall in the
last week, and cotton has taken a new
lease on life and is growing right along /;
it has two months yet to grow and pro-
duce what it will. A great many farm
ers are taking in their first bales this
week; they are also making fall gardens,
planting beans, peas, radishes, cucum-
bers, sweet corn and all kinds of vege-
tables usually planted in the garden;
some turnips are being sown, although
they do better sown next month. The
finest turnips I. eve saw, grew in this
county on sod land; they were eight
inches across and four inches deep and
as sweet as any new ground turnip 1
ever ate; there was not o bit of pith or
strong taste in the center, sweet and de-
licious all through. Irish potatoes do
well planted now and make as good a
crop as those planted in the spring.
Sweet potatoes are being set out; one
mar here planted three pecks and sold
$lS worth Of the potatoes, besides what
his family ate. Fall gardens are said to
