 Hot Weather, Next Week.
 A few days ago 1t was prophesied that New Haven was to enjoy forty days deluge. That prophecy, let 1t be hoped, will fail of fulhlment. Yesterday af- ternoon 1t cleared off for few hours and the sun struggled out and looked brightly down upon the wet bedraggled earth, but for a brief period only. Soon the clouds banked up in the south and by evening another rain storm was well under way. Weather Observer U. G. Myers, of this city, thought yesterday that the storm was about over. He said that the indications are clearing weather by this morning, and fair weather next week. Clear weather is travelling eastward and should arrive within day or two.
 MT. Myers said that July, 1897, may carry off the palm for rainy weather. He said:
 We have been catching it on the Connecticut coast the worst of any sec tion. Our rainfall has been since We'd nesday 3.41 inches. This is a remark ably heavy fall the biggest amount coming down late Wednesday night. The total amount of rain that has fall en in this city this month now registers 1861 inches, with three more days In ! the month in which to fall less than an l inch and break the record. The heav- | fest July total in ttae history of the weather bureau, which has been estab- l hshed twenty-five years, 1n rainfall of 17.0S inches in 1889, and the present total of 16.48 inches makes 1t possible, With another medium storm before mid night Saturday night, to easily break the record. In the light of the storm of last week, Wednesday nights down. pour is not record breaking. but the weather bureau is called upon to record more marvellous rainfalls. From p.
 m. Wednesday night to a. m. yester- day ETA inches fell, and from p. m, Wednesday until a. III. yesterday the precipitation was 3.41.
 "The rainfall during the storm of I Tuesday and yesterday in New York
 has been about 21a inches, and in Bos-
 ton about the same. The rain extended
 not further south than the Virginia
 coast
 With the exception of the lower lake
 region New York state and the New England states, the weather is gener-
 ally fair all over the country. Weather students assert that another hot spell will follow the rainy term"

MaceO is Not Dead.

The story OF MaceO's reported death
seems to at last have been successfully
denied. The circumstances of his
wounding and escape are given in a
special dispatch from the insurgeDt
field as follows:
They say that Maceo. with his staff,
came to meet Ahmuda under flag of
truce, aud that Cirujeda and his forces
were amhushed. As soon as Maceo
appeared the Spaniards opened fire.
MaceO, being In front, fell from his
horse. Gomez also fell at his side.
The rest OF his staff, some OF whom
were wounded, managed to escape and
reached Baldomero. Acosta's camp
instantly gathered all its small forces
and rushed to the assistance. They
made Il desperate fight, and drove
Cirujeda into Punta Bravo, recovered
the bodies and carried the apparently
dead Maceo with them.
lie 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 Cienga hospital, though
Others say to Siguanea.
1t appears that the project Of the
Cubaus. as soon as Maceo is able to
move, is to send him to the United
States, and a steamer has already
been ordered for the purpose, and
thus personally prove that he is alive.
Great excitement prevails Ia Hav-
ana over the news. 1t is widely dis
cussed and even the Spa1iards are
talking OF the possibility Of his being
alive. A member Of the Produce ex.
change created a sensation the other
day when he announced the fact, and
commotiOn followed. Wyler's posi-.
tion is critical, and the Spanlards are
highly indignant at his constant de-
ceptions.
Threats are freely made that IL
Maceo is alive Weyler will be dragged
through the streets.
