RECOVERED MAcEo's BODY.
Col. Hernandez Tells or the Fierc'
Fight with the Spaniards.

Col. Hernandez Tells or the Fierce
Fight with the Spaniards.
The question of Gen. Maceo's death now
seems fully decided. J. A. Huau, a Florida
Cuban agent, has just received letter
from Col. Andres Hernandez, who COM
manded the Cuban detachment that went
to re-enforce Gen. Maceo's forces. In his
letter Col. Hernandez says:
December was day we will never
forget, for it was then that we suffered
great misfortune in the tragic death (by
ambush) of our noble Maceo. We were
encamped near the fight that day and heard
the firing. Gen. Maceo came across the
trocha unknown to us with but forty men.
More than 1900 Spaniards who were in
formed Of his trip ambushea him. He rode
into it and was shot at the first fire.
1--WE heard the firing, and, thinking some
of our friends had been attacked by Span
ish guerrillas, we started of at once to
their aid, though we had but 400 men.
when we reached the field Of battle it was
almost over, and we were told Gen. Maceo
was killed and his body tied to horses
tail and the Spanish were taking it off.
Our men were perfectly frantic over the
report. We dashed forward with drawn
machetets, and what fight that was. The
Spaniards met US and the encounter was
terrible. Our men fought to kill, only
bent on avenging Gen. Maceo's death. Our
sharp machetes fell with regularity, and l
think we killed more than 200 ofthe enemy,
and, what is more, we had the consolation
OF recovering the body of our beloved
leader, Gen. Maceo. We buried the body
in secret and secure place. Myself and a
few selected men only know the location.
In due time 1t will be made public"

Schwctnfurth Cases Dropped.

The prosecution of George jacob
Schweinfurth and others who live at Rock
ford, ILL.,, has practically been given up by
the authorities. The indictments against
them in the circuit court were stricken
from the docket by the states attorney,
with leave to reinstate. The marriage of
Mr.. Schweinfurth and Mrs. Tuttle last
summer and the subsequent marriage of
Others who were indicted, proved an unex-
pected obstacle, and it was decided best
to drop further proceedings.
