A PUT UP JOB.

The see-sawing back and forth be-
tween the senate and the house as to
the representation of each on the re
apportionment committee, will have
the effect of killing the bill-just what
the members from the southern part OF
the State want. It is undoubtedly a
put-up job.---Aitki1, Age. T.. s....- 4

DR.. zERTUCHA SLAIN.

MaccC's Death Assas5inatod
CUBAN PATRIOTS VOWED VENGEANCE,
If Reports Are True They Have Ksp,
Their Oath-Zsrtucha's Stories Of
the Maceo Tragedy Did Not
Hang To1s;hsr Well.

MADRID, Feb. ls-A dispatch re-
ceired here from Havana says it is re-
ported there that DR. Zcrtucha, who
was Gen. Antonio Maceo's physician
and accompanied him at the time the
insurgent leader met his death, has
| been assassinated.
All Cuban patriots and their adher-
ents held DR.. XcrtuGha responsible
for the death Of Maceo, which they
claimed was brought about by Zer-
tucha's treachey. 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,
second in command Of the Spanish
forces in Cuba, asking Maceo to a con-
ference, in order to see if some settle
ment OF the war could not be agreed
upon. Maceo fell into the trap and, ac-
compauIed by his personal staff, which
included the alleged treacherous ply
sician, 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 it was by
water, the party embarkng at night
in small boats and using mutlied oars.
This account is ridiculed by the Span
ish naval officers, who declare that

Admiral Bunce finds specific fault
with at least three Of his ships, and
has submitted reports on the perform

The chief constructor of the navy, to
whom these reports will be referred

about as perfect as can be constructed.
Capt sampson, the ordnance chief,
will vigorously oppose any attempt to
lessen the ordnance, and the equip

THE DUESTROW ESTATE.
Ths Hanged Mans Creditors Have So
900 TO Struggle Fbr


ST. LOUIS Feb. ls,-trom the mo.
ment that Arthur Duestrow was de-
clared legally dead by the state doc
tors under the scatfold at Union, his
share in the estate OF Louis Duestrow,
his father, reverted to his sister,
Hulda.
Duestrow's personal estate comprises
about $4,000 which was earned by the
reserve fund of $500, 900 worth Of bonds
since the Union Trust Co. was first
garnished by the first creditor. The
trust company has since that time paid
out no money to Duestrow or TO his
attorneys. The money Is ready to be
divided among his creditors, as soon
as an administrator is appointed and
the court applied to. This fund will
be all that the creditors will get, but
it will probably be large enough to
satify them.
The income from the Louis Dues
trow estate will be paid by the Union
Trust Co, to Hulda Duestrow at once,
under the provisions of Louis Dues
trow's will, without any legal pro.
ceedlngs.
II Hulda Duestrow dies without is
sue the estate will go to some charita-
BILE institution, selected by the Union
Trust Co.
Hulda Duestrow's income now is the
entire interest on S5OOO 600 worth of A.
percent. United States bonds $40 600
and is paid to her quarterly.

indicates how far-fetched was the title

THE TREATY SET ASIDE.
The Senate Goes to Work on Judicial
Nominations.

Nominations.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lS.-Immediately
after the senate went into executive
session, Senator Sherman sought to call
up the general treaty of arbitrations
with Great Britain, but he met with a
repulse at the very outset. A motion
was made that business on the calen-
dar be proceeded with, the argument
being that there were a number of
important nominations, particularly
of judicial character, that ought to
be acted upon, The yeas and nays
were demanded, and those favoring
the consideration of nominations won.
The nomination Of j. II. Munger. of
Nebraska, to be district judge of Ne
braska, was con frmed without opposi-
tion.
The nomination OF Chas, f. Amidon,
to be district judge for the district Of
North Dakota, was then called up, and
a debate, in which considerab BILE opposi-
ton was manifested, was precipitated.
1t is believed, however, that the NOM
ination will be confirmed.

land, about three miles south of
Carson and lies in little valley at the
foot of a spur Of the mountains. The
dwelling house contains eight com
