Stories OF the Maceo Tragedy Did Not
Hang Together Well.
madrid, Feb. ia dispatch re-
ceivcd here from Havana says IL is re-
ported there that DIR. Zertucha. who
was Con. Antonio Maceo's physician
and accompanied him at the time the
insurgent leader met his death, has
been assassinated.
All Gu ban patriots and their adher-
ents held DR.. Zertucha responsible
for the death Of Maceo, which they
claimed was brought about by Zcr-
tucha's treachev. They charged that
the doctor. acting under plans laid by
some person in authority at the palace
in Havana, enticed Maceo across the
trocha into Havana province from
Pinar del Rio, where his army was en-.
camped, by means of letter, presum-
ably written by the Marquis Ahumada,
n second in command of the Spanish
forces in Cuba. asking Maceo to a con-
ference, in order to see II some settle
ment of the war could not be agreed
upon. Maceo fell into the trap and, ac-
companied by his personal staff, " ich
included the alleged treacherous ply
stefan, set out for the meeting place,
which was just beyond the trocha in
Havana province.
Accounts differ as to how Maceo and
his followers crossed that celebrated
line. One of these declares IL was by
water. the party embarking at night
In small boats and using muffled oars.
This account is ridiculed by the Span.
ish naval officers, who declare that
Maceo crossed the line on land
Maceo, after crossing the line. went
direct to the supposed meeting place
OF Ahumada and himself Instead of
finding the Spanish general he and his
staff walked unwittingly into an am
bush prepared by Spanish battalion
under Maj. Cirujeda and all were shot
down in cold blood excepting DR.. Ger
tucha. Among the dead was Gen.
Gomez son, who is said to have com
mitted suicide by the side of Maceo.
DR.. Zertuchas escape from death
and the lenient treatment accorded
him by the Spanish, led the Cubnns to
Mt once accuse the doctor, whose pre-
vious reputation had been somewhat
unsavory, of treachery. This Zertucha
strenuously denied. and in his efforts
to clear himself of the imputation he
made several conflicting statements as
to the manner of Maceo's death.
The patriots swore they would
avenge Maceo's death. and the report
from Havana seems to indicate that
they have kept their oath.
