prepared for burial it was
found that be was still alive.
AS soon as he was able to be
transported he was carried with
the greatest care and under a
strong escort to the Cienega
hospital, though others say to
Siguanea.
1t appears that the project
of the Cubans as soon as Ma
Geo 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 in
Havana over the news. It is
widely discussed and even the
Spaniards are talking of the
possibility of his being alive.
A member of the produce ex-
change created a sensation
the other day when he announc
ed the fact and a commotion
followed.
Weyler's position is critical
and the Spanish are highly in
dignant at his constant decep-
tons. Threats are freely made
that if Maceo is alive Weyler
will be dragged through the
streets. He surely can not
return to Spain after the out
bursts of joy there over Ma
ceo's death. His last foolish
utterances concerning the paci
fcation of Pinar del Rio pro
vince have also greatly incens
ed the Spaniards, they know
ing that it is a gross lie. The
idea that there are only 500
rebels in the province is deem
ed simply absurd when Wey
Ter personally admitted a fort
night ago that there existed at
least 5000.
The Spaniards also ridicule
the idea of the need Of eight
generals, twenty colonies, and
10000 men to crush 500 fam
ished rebels.
The excitement over the
Guanabacoa butcheries contin
ues and terror stricken fama
lies are still coming into Hava
ma. George Hyatt, another
American citizen residing in
this place, has asked for pro
lection from the United States
consulate. Other foreign resi-
dents did the same of their res
pective consulates. The butch
cries continue, although 1t IS
said that orders have been sent
to Fondeviela to stop them in
view ofthe publicitygiven them.
A reign of terror prevails in
the towns. Many residents
who are unable to move into
Havana, nightly come TO sleep
in the city. Names and de
tails are understandable, as peoI
pie fear to speak. 1t is only
known that the victims are tax

report that ''it is as full of meat as a new
laid Plymouth Rock egg. 1t is of the
meat meaty. 1t contains complete.
tabuiated and understandable valuation
of the State of Maine, the most complete
and accurate that was ever published. It
represents months and years of hard
labor, of close calculation aud of weary
contact with figures obtained from every
possible source that is relia Bile. 1t is a
fair valuation of Maine, too. Not a three
quarters scale, not guesswork, not ny
thing but the actual money value of the
property" A tabulated statement of the
polls and valuation of Maine since 1920
shows an increase in both from year to
year The increase in polls from 1894 to
1896 was about 1000 and of valuation
about S4 900, 600.

one large company to be known as the
Maine Central, says of the Belfast and
Moosehead Lake railroad:
The lease of this road unlike that of the
others, was for so years. 1t is this fact
that causes some of the people interested
in the Belfast line to take lively interest
in the Engel bill, because, they ask, what
will be the effect of the powers it gives
the larger road when the lease of the Bel

1t is evident that Gov. Powers knew
what he was talking about when in his
inaugural address he strenuously urged
economy. The report of the State treas
urer, just published, makes showing
that emphasizes the Governors plea.
The reduction of the tax last year from
> IL to 2 IA mills has resulted in the
oTerdrawing of nearly every appropria-
ton. The official estimate for running
the State for another year is 81, ,274,OOO:
and to raise this sum financiers say the
State will have to advance its tax from IA
to mills. The appropriations asked
for in 1897, over and above the necessary
ordinary expenditures, already amount to
5000, 900; and the end is not vet. The
general impression about the Capitol is
that message will soon be Forthcoming
from GOV. Powers, asking that halt be
called III the making of appropriations.
