MACEO’S lllJlllj MISSING
An Air of Mystery Shrouds the Death
of the Great Cuban.
MANY THINK HE Is ALIVE.
The J data In. New York. However, Credits
the Story of His Killing—A Rumor
That He “’35 Shot by the Des-
picable Dr. Zertuchn.
HAVANA, Dec. 18.—Maceo’s death is
still shrouded in mystery. The body is
as yet undiscovered, and no further proofs
have been adduced except the omcial state-
ment, which leads some Cubans to think
Maceo is still alive. In fact, the residents
Df Punta Brava, the vicinity in which the
en agement occurred, disbelieve the story.
ertucha continues to give contradictory
evidence. He now says the knife found
belonged to Gomez’s son and not to Maceo.
The Cubans consider it significant that the
Objects captured are not shown. Neither
ere the alleged written statements of
Gomez’s son. No Cubans have surren-
iered since the leader’s alleged death.
Many rumors are afloat in connection
with Macao’s death, and all are confusing.
Dne is that a major at Cabozas, Matanzas,
)as telegraphed that Maceo passed near
the town With a large force. Another is
that Aguirre has written under date of
Dec. 10, but does not say anything of Ma-
;eo’s death. Couriers have been sent to in—
I‘estigate, but have not returned. Many Cu-
bans are not inclined to believe the story
that Maceo was killed by treachery. They
wry Maceo was not easily trapped and
would not accept a flag of truce, even from
Ahumada.
The naval authorities are indignant at
Weyler’s statement that Maceo crossed the
ti‘ocha in boat and it is said have cabled
to Spain protesting. The minister laid
the feet before the cabinet meeting. The
ties are strained.
To Cover Failure.
The demonstration in Weyler’s honor
was simply to cover the failure in Pinar del
Rio. It is easy to organize any demon-
stration in Havana, counting with volun-
teers the great numbers of semimilitary
organizations that are forced to obey or-
(Lars. Crowds will gather the same as in
other, places and will cheer for the sake of
excitement. '
It is said that friction has occurred be-
tween Weyler and Civil Governor Porruna
on account of the former not promoting
Chief of Police Labarrera, who is only
major civil guard. Reports from the field
are scarcer every day. The government is
hiding all important engagements.
It is said that important encounters
have occurred in Pinar del Rio and Ma-
tanzas, but the details are suppressed. In
fact, the government is trying to convince
the public that the insurgents are demor-
alized since Maceo’s alleged death and
shirk fights. On the contrary, the patriots
are displaying more activity even in the
vicinity of the city, where outposts are
fired upon nightly. The same thing hap-
pens at Gunabacoa and other surrounding
towns.
Recruiting Stopped.
DALLAS, Dec. 18.——United States Mar-
shal Love, by instructions from Washing-
ton, took measures to suppress Cuban re.
cruiting. The recruiting agents in this
city got notice and abandoned their head-
quarters before arrests could be made.
The Independent Cuban league issued an
address to the public, in which it was said
that the public seemed not to understand
that the arming and equipping of forces
to aid Cuba would be an offense against
federal law. “Our present desire,” it said,
“is to' extend to the Cuban patriots such
moral and ~material aid as may be clearly
Within the law. When the United States
government shall have granted belligerent
rights to struggling Cubans or recognized
the present Cuban republic, it will be time
enough to organize volunteers. We are
American citizens first and Cuban sym-
pathizers afterward. ” The address is signed
by O. Paget, president, and J. C. McNea~
lus, secretary, Cuban Independent League
of Dallas, Tex.
Tacoma to the Front.
TACOMA, Dec. 18.—Tacoma has ofiered
a regiment of 1,200 men, all well drilled
and with officers who are thorough tacti-
cians, to help the United States destroy
the power of Spain in Cuba. The ofi‘er
has been made in the following telegram:
To Senator Watson C. Squire, Washington:
For Cuba’s freedom Tacoma has volunteer
regiment to place at disposal of government.
W. J. FIFE.
The work of organizing was begun sev-
eral months ago, when the talk of war with
Spain was first heard. Officers were care-
fully chosen, and the men were thoroughly
drilled. The formation of the regiment is
of four battalions of three companies each.
Each company has its full complement of
100 men. Colonel Fife has been chosen
the commander of the regiment.
BELIEVE MAOEO IS DEAD.
New York Junta Awaiting News Hourly
Expected From Cubs.
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—-While the mem~
bers of the Cuban junta here are convinced
that Antonio Maceo is dead, they are mak-
ing every effort to find out exactly how he
died, and it is this probably that has giv-
en rise to the renewed rumor that the Cu-
ban leader is still alive. Dr. J. Castillo
said today that in the opinion of the junta
there could be little doubt of Maoeo’s
death, and that it was generally believed
that he cache to his death through treach-
ery on the part of Dr. Zertucha. In order
to learn the facts about the engagement
in which the patriot was, killed, emissaries
have been sent “from Havana to find the
troops which he commanded.
Several have returned and reported that
they could find no trace of the insurgents,
‘ showing that they had retreated farther
inland. Five soldiers who were wounded
were found in huts which had been turned
into hospitals. and they told the agents of
the junta that Maceo was not dead. How-
ever, not 1much faith is pinned on the as-
surances of the wounded men of Maceo,
since the latter may have. been shot after
the former had been rendered here do com-
bat. .
The suspicion is extant that Zertucha
actually fired the bullet that ended Ma-
ceo’s brilliant career, but it is pretty well
established that the treacherous physician
had informed the Spaniards of the plans
of the Cuban chief. With the information
lntheir possession about the intentions of
Maceo, the forces under Major Cirujeda
permitted Maceo to cross the trocha with
out molestation, and then fell upon him
in largely superior numbers at a conven-
ient place. It is certain that Zertucha was
another Benedict Arnold, in the. opinion
of the local junta, and that Weyler And
I
{elations of the naval and military author- , ;
l Ahumada. knew all about the prospective
movement of the insurgents. It is even
possible that Zertucha advised the expedi-
tion to cross the trocha. '
A Plauslhle Suggestion.
Dr. Castillo said today that it was barely
. possible that Maceo was so severely wound-
ed that he Was unable to resist when the
Spaniards removed the ring and the pa-
pers, but was afterward recaptured by his
own men and removed to his camp. '{he
failure to produce the corpse is considered
evidence that the Spaniards were unable to
continue in possession of it. .
As inquiry proceeds further no addition-
al confirmation of the story that Maceo
was lured to a supposed peace conference
can be obtained, although it seems to be
certain that Maceo was entrapped into an
ambuscade through the machinations of
Zertuoha.
Subsequent events are likely to show
that the latter account is the correct one,
and the members of the junta reluctantly
admit that they believe Maceo is no longer
alive.
The messengers sent from Havana to
find Macao’s troops are expectcd'to return
to Havana at any time with an authentic
report of the circumstances surrounding
the killing of the patriot general.
The news as soon as received will be
sent to Key West to be telegraphed, and
the system of secret communication is so
perfect that no trouble is anticipated in se—
curing the information from Havana, once
'it is in the hands of the Cuban sympa-
thizers.
Efforts are making to bring an officer
who was on Maceo’s stafi' and present
when he was‘shot to this country, so that
he may be sent to Washington to appear
before the foreign relations committee of
the senate. This plan is expected to be
very fruitful of results if successflil.
A story is circulating in Havana that
Antonio Mena Montes de Oca, a mulatto
who greatly resembled Maceo, was the '
man who was really killed, but the New
York junta cannot believe from all the
. known circumstances, scanty though they
are, that this assumption is true. It is also
said that Baldonero Acosta met Maceo
when he crossed the trocha at Capate, but
all admit that the report may not be true.
WILD WESTERN LAW.
: An Oklahoma Crowd Takes 3 Suspect to
the Woods to Lynch Him.
GUTHRIE, O. T., Dec. 18.—-The bodies of
a man about 40 years of age and of a girl
about 17 years were found yesterday morn-
ing in the roadway beside their covered
wagon near Perkins, 0. T. The man had
been brained with an ax, but the young
woman, although badly wounded, was
. still alive.
I News was received by telephone from
Langston that a negro named Clemens
was accused of the crime, and that a posse
lof 100 white men had dragged him into
i the woods to lynch him. Sherifi Painter
1 of this county was asked to come to Lang-
-‘ ston with enough men to quiet the mob.
He left with several deputies, but the man
had probably been lynched before they got
there.
I
'belt of Lincoln county in the midst of a
large negro settlement, and the whole pop-
ulation of the surrounding towns is re-
ported to be up in arms. David Boyd is
said to be the name of the man murdered,
but it is not known whence the travelers
came.
An unknown man was found murdered
near Scott’s big cattle ranch near the
Seminole reservation yesterday. There
were bullet holes in the head and body, his
throat was cut from ear to ear, and the
pockets of his clothing had been rifled.
There is nothing by which he can be iden-
tified, but it is said that he was one of a
party traveling by wagon from western
Missouri to Texas who passed through
that section several days ago. .
Canal Employees Dismissed.
MONTREAL, Dec. 18. —All the men em-
ployed along the Welland canal have re-
ceived notice from the department of rail-
ways and canals that their services are no
longer required. The men have also been
informed that, with the exception of those
who are entitled to superannuation, the
government will not be held responsible
for their jobs in the spring. This is looked
upon as amounting to a clean sweep.
Erie Canal Improvement.
ROME, N. Y., Dec. 18. —Superintendent
Aldridge has issued an order to notify all
persons whose sewers have an outlet into
the Erie canal to close them. Nearly all
the business section of Rome is thus sew-
ered. Rome is now constructing a system
of sewers which will be complete in the
Spring, and ofi‘icials will endeavor to have
Mr. Aldridge extend the order till that
time.

Sometimes an
apparently dead
man may be re-
vived—may be re-
suscitated. Some-
times it is often
~' hard to tell
\whether the man
is dead or alive.
We hear of people
who have b e e n
buried alive. A
man must be com.
pletely dead before
ope s h o u l d be
abandoned. It used
to be true that
when a man found
he had consump-
tion, he gave up immediately. Consump-
tion was considered a necessarily fatal d15-
ease. It was consxdered incurable. As soon
as It developed enough so that alphysician
could decide that itwas really consumption,
the patient was considered as good as dead.
Years .ago; Dr. Pierce found out that con.
sumption was not incurable, that it was not
necessarily fatal. He not only found this
out, but he found out a way to cure con-
sumption. He introduced his “Golden
Medical Discovery.” The “Discovery"
w111 cure per cent. of all cases of con-
sumption If it is taken according to direc-
tions. Consumption is a disease of the
blood. It is caused by impoverishment of
the blood, and by the existence of disease-
germs in the system. If the body is per-
fectly strong and healthy, and the blood
perfectly pure, germs are easily thrown off.
If the body is weak, if the tissues are in-
capable of much resistance, the germs find
a resting place and develop. That’s the
way consumption begins.
The “ Golden Medical Discovery ”
searches out the germs, forces them out
of the system and cures consumption and
other kindred diseases of the throat, bron-
chia and lungs. No doubt about it, no ques-
tion about it. It has done it in hundreds
and thousands of cases. The “Discovery”
is sold at drug stores. ‘ '

FIRST FAIR SENATOR.
SHE IS THE WIFE OF A MORMON
AND BELIEVéS IN MORMONISM.
Firs. Cannon, as a Democrat, than (Against
"Her Husband and lIad'4,000 Majority
" Over Him—She is a Doctor at Salt Lake
City.
Martha Hughes Cannon is the first
woman who was. ever elected to the
State Senate in America.
She lives in Salt Lake City, and she '
.is a Mormon and a Democrat. She ran
against her husband in the same dis-
trict and she beat him for the State
Senate of Utah by the no little major-
ity of 4,000. She believes in woman
suffrage, she believes in polygamy arid
she most heartily disbelieves in the
prohibition of intoxicating liquors. '
She‘ is called the fourth wife of An-
gus M.-Cannon. Mr. Cannon is a lead-
ing elder in the Mormon Church, and
he stands in the first order of prece-
dence for appointment as one of the
twelve apostles. He. has four wives
living in neighborly communion. None
of the, four, however, has the least
legal claim on the man whose name
she bears. When the United States
Government declared against polyg-
amy. the law gave every polygamist
man the right to choose one woman
for his legal wife. 3
Mr. Cannon is the somewhat well-
i-Inown gentleman who married rtwo
sisters at one fell swoop, and who
afterward told the United States au-
thorities that he “would be switched”
if he would be ungallant enough to do-
cide between one of the sisters and
either of the other wives, so there
really is no legal Mrs. Angus Cannon,
although there are four very lively
and interesting establishments, in each
of which a woman presides who lays
claim to the right of that title.
Martlla— Hughes Cannon. the new
Senator, is a doctor by profession. She
lives in a neat little red brick house‘in
a. new little tree—set street. She has a
little girl, eleven years old, and a little
boy. seven years old. She is between
thirty and thirty=five years of age.
Mrs. Cannon is quoted in an inter-
view as follows:
“Well, this Year we got suffrage and
the party. thought there ought to be a.
lady in the Senate, and a committee
came and asked me if I would run,
and I said, ‘Yes.’ I went to the nomi-
nating convention as a delegate. My
name was offered as a candidate and I
was duly nominated. Then I went
home and congratulated Mr. Cannon
on his nomination. He ran on the Re-
publican ticket. I worked pretty hard.
I studied up on all the questions of
the campaign and I made a lot of
speeches. I did not do any personal
work—talking to people myself about
myself, and why they ought to vote
for me, I mean. I just stayed right’
with my party and spoke for that,’and
on election day I went to the polls and
voted, then I went and tended to my
patients. I beat Mr. Cannon by a ma-
jority of something like 4,000
“Am I a strong believer in woman
suffrage? Of course I am. It will
help women, and it will purify politics.
Women are better than men. Slaves
are always better than masters. A
slave learns' obedience and self-con-
trol and unselfishness. That why
woman will do the world of politics
good. They have been slaves so long.
They will teach some of the slavish
virtues. Do I mean polygamy? In—
deed I do not mean polygamy, I be-
lieve in polygamy. My father, and
mother were Mormons, and I am a
Mormon. Of course. the law of the
United States says ‘No,’ and we must
obey, but that does not alter one’s be-
lief in the right of the thing.
“A plural wife is not half as much a
slave as a single wife. If her husband
has four wives she has three weeks of
freedom every single .month. But
then. of course, that is not the reason
I“ believe in it. ,I believe in it because
I think it’s right. Jealousy? Unhap-
piness? Not half as much of it among
plural wives as there is among single
wives. Plural wives look upon mar-
riage as a sacred duty and not as a
' I’ve
heard sentimentalists say that polyg-
amy destroys poetry and takes all the
sentiment out of life. Nonsense. A
man loves all his wives. He is not in
love with just one of them.”
She Was Too Young.
The other day a couple of little girls
came to a physician’s office to be vac-
'cinated. One of them undertook to
speak for the other, and explained:
“Doctor, this is‘my sister. She is
too young to know her left arm from
her right, so mamma washed both of
them.” ‘
