BETRAYBD BY DR. ZER-TUGHA

A Horrible Story of Treachery‘Vhich, if
True, May Cause Congress to Take
[Speedy Action—Denials by De
Louie and Havana Officials.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 14.—Antonio
Maceo, the Cuban hero, is dead. He was,
murdered. Letters received today from
Cuba leave no reasonable doubt that he
was led into an ambush under the pretext
of a parley for peace and assassinated in
cold blood. With him fell Francisco Gomez
and about 3-1 other staff ofiicers. Even
when the insurgent general realized that
he had been betrayed he fought against
hopeless odds, With his little band of pa-
triots he charged his treacherous execu-
tioners and with the shout of “Cuba
libre!” on his mangled lips, pierced in the
face and body with bullets, he rode to
death. People here can find no language
except oaths in'which to express their hor-
ror and indignation.

The news came in two letters, at; first
dlfi'ering sOmewhat'in detail, but substan-
tially the same. They show that the plot
was not. one conceived in a moment, but
deliberately planned and executed, and
that General Weyler had approved it.

The Plot.

JustO Carillo, a well known Cuban of
this city, brother of the Cuban General
Carillo, has received the following letter
dated Dec, 9 from a trustworthy corre-
spondent in Havana confirming the re-
ports of the death of Antonio Maceo and
showing that he was killed by treachery:

“Our brave general, Antonio Maceo,
and the greater part of his staff have been
murdered by the Spaniards, the Spanish
major Cirujeda acting the part of the
assassin, with Dr. Maximo Zertucha as
an apsistant in the horrible drama.

“Convinced that notwithstanding his
great army he could do nothipg against
our leader, who has so repeatedly defeated

the Spanish generals in Pinar del Rio,

Weyler conceived the idea of appeasing his
beastly instincts of cold blooded murder,
and, making the best of the secret rela-
tions between Dr. Zcrtucha and the Mar-
quis of Ahumada, he planned with the
latter his hellish scheme.

lndignatjon In -“’ashington Circles Over
the Reported Assassination.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14,—Maceo’s assas-
sination and its atrocious details, now con-
firmed, have aroused the utmost indigna-
tion in congress circles. The military and
naval branches of the government are in
a state of excitement which has not been
equaled since the Cuban insurrection be-
gan. The feeling of horror. is so great that
resolutions expressing the condemnation

'of the American people of such uncivilized
methods of warfare undoubtedly will be
offered in the senate and house at once.
This can be announced on the authority of
a prominent member of the house com-
mittee on foreign affairs.

The committees Of foreign afiairs in the
house and on foreign relations in the sen-
ate are substantially unanimous on this
point. Chairman Hitt of the house com-
mittee was one of the first public men in
Washington to be advised of the horrible
news. He was deeply affected, and, al-
though he naturally was averse to speak-
ing at this time for publication, there was
no doubt about his opinion on the subject.

Special meetings of both house and
senate committees will be called imme-
diately, and when the reports of these
committees are made the whole Cuban
question will be open for a debate, in com-
parison with which, it is predicted, all
previous discussions on this subject will
seem tame. The subject of recognition of
independence will be brought forward on
the ground that this new development
justifies it. Not only that, but the killing
of Maceo is so Opposed to all existing no-
tions of fairness that resolutions will also
be Offered providing for the intervention

 

 

of the United States to put an end to such.

QUBSADA’S STATEMENT.

He Says Treacherous Assassination: Are
Part of Spanish \Var Tactics.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l4.——The circumstan-
tial details of the assassination of Maceo
contained in the Jacksonville dispatches
were significant to the Cuban delegation,
apd for the first time Senor ,Qu'esada, the
charge ’d’affiiires of the junta, admitted

 

“Weyler too}; the field, and in his ab- l the probability that Maceo was dead. He

sence Ahumada proposed through Zer-
tucha a. conference with Maceo, to take
place at a certain point in the province of
Havana, with the view of arranging plans
for the cessation of hostilities. The basis

was to be Cuba’s independence and a mon- ,

etary indemnity to Spain, together with
certain advantages that should be agreed
upon for Spanish commerce and Spanish
capital invested there.
The Assassination.
‘fTo carry out the plan the agreement

‘ Was that orders shduld be given to the de-
' tachmen’ts of troops stationed on the

trocha. in the section between Mariel and
Guanajay to allow Maceo, with his staff,
to pass the military line unmolested.

“Time was required to mature these ar-
rangements, and to give them all the ap-
pearance of truth Ahumada feigned that
before acting he must make them known
to Weyler for his previous approval.

“ This explains the sudden arrival of
Weyler in Havana and his prompt return
to Pinar del Rio.

“ The conditions and place of meeting
having been agreed on, Maceo crossed the
trocha over the road to Guanajay without
being molested by the forts, but as soon
as he arrived at the place decided upon he
and his party were, greeted by a tremendous
volley from the troops under Major Ciru~
jeda, who lay conveniently in ambush.
Most of the officers of his staff fell with
General Macao. Zertucha is alive because
he was aware of the scheme and remained
in the rear.

“The Spaniards know where thebodies
are, but are bent on feigning ignorance to
blot out the vestige of the crime. ”

. The Treachery. .,

Another letter was received by Colonel
J. A. de Huau, the head of the Florida
junta, from his correspondent in Havana,
giving a detailed account of the assassina-
tion of General Maceo and his entire stafi‘,
with the exception of Dr. Zertucha, who
was Macao’s physician. The correspond-
ent’s name, of course, cannot be made pub-
lic, for, as Mr. Huau said, “The writer
would be shot within an hour by Spanish
authorities if they knew who gave away
the details of one of the‘ most horrible
atrocities ever chronicled in modern war-
fare. ”

The letter says that the Marquis of Ahu— .

mada, who is officiating as captain gen-
eral of Cuba. in Weyler’s absence in the
field, sent a letter to General Maceo in-
viting the Cuban leader to a conference
near Punta Brave, saying he desired to
confer with him as to some means of stop-
ping bloodshed and the great waste of hu-
man iife and to get his views on the sub-
ject. .

‘ Maceo, who was the soul of honor, never
for a moment thought that treachery was
intended, especially as the invitation" came
from such a- prominent Spaniard as the
Marquis of Ahumada, and he immediately-
returned the answer that he would be glad
to meet the Spanish general.

Accompanied by his staff, consisting of
only 35 men and Officers, he went to the
rendezvous, little dreaming of the fate
that was in store for him. On his arrival
at the trocha the Spanish soldiers there,
acting under orders, actually saluted the
“rebel Chieftain” as he passed, but after
reaching the rendezvous on the east side
of the trocha, a thickly wooded hill, the
Cuban leader was surprised to see, instead
of the Marquis of Ahumada, a large body
of Spanish soldiers, who seemed to come
from every side.

‘ Riddlod With Bullets.

Their actions were so suspicions that
Macao felt that he had been trapped, and
his suspicions were confirmed when per-
emptory orders came from Major Cirujeda,
who dashed up to the Cuban leader as he
stood at bay, surrounded by his staff, and
demanded his unconditional surrender.

“Never!” was the brave reply, and hard-
ly had the word been uttered when volley
after volley was poured into the little
band of patriots, who, although hemmed
in on all sides and outnumbered 100 to l,
struck spurs to their horses, with cries of
“Cuba librol” and rode gallantly to their
death,z striking down as many of the ene-
my as they could. .

Macao is reported to have fallen at the
first fire, with a bullet throughhis head,
which broke his jaw, and another wound
in the stomach, either of which was fatal.

Young Francisco Gomez, son of the Cu-
ban commander in chief, was the next to
fall, and in a few moments a number of

 

 

outnumbered nearly by four to one.

said the cause of liberty would not be lost
by Maceo’s death, for his loss would be
offset by a reaction that would probably
follOW here and in Cuba in the insurgent
interest as a result of the alleged assassiua
tion.

Senor Quesada said that two Weeks ago
he. received information that the Spanish
mipister had informed a friend that the
Spanish were negotiating with Maceo, but
that he did not then give it the significance
the Jacksonville dispatch indicates. Zer-
tucha, the pcrsOnal physician of Maceo, he
regarded as the prime mover in the alleged
plot, and he pointed out that Zertucha
had been suspected of poisoning General
Gomez several years ago. Mr. Quesada
said:

“I am surprised that Maceo should fall

into such a trap if the story is true. The
action is in line with former peculiar
phases of the Spanish campaign. Augusto
Arango, during the ten years’ war on the
island, was induced on a plea to ‘talk over
the disposition of troops in his section to
enter the city of Puerto Principe. Though
carrying a flag of truce, he was shot down
almost as soon as he had entered the Span-
ish lines. A similar incident occurred in
the beginning of this revolution. Major
General" Flora Crombet. an associate of
Macao in command 6f Santiago do Cuba,
.was lured into a Spanish ambuscade on
a pretense of a conference over prisoners
after protection had been guaranteed by
the Spaniards. ’,’

-' THE DBNIALS.

One From the Spanish Minister De Lorne
and the other From Havana.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-—Senor de Lome,
the Spanish minister, denounced the state-
ments made by General Carillo in the
letter given in the Jacksonville dispatches.
He said the Teports that Maceo was as-
sassinated or killed by any treachery were
false and absurd, and to give credence to
them would be an insult to judgment.
Beyond this the minister declined to dis-
cuss the story.

HAVANA, Feb. 13.—It is announced in
official circles h’ere that the accounts re-
ceived by the Cuban junta detailing the
manner in which Maceo met his death are
absolutely untrue. The statement that
Macco was assassinated through the in-
strumentality of Dr. Zertucha, who, it
was claimed, led Macao and his staff across
the trocha, where they were met by Ahu-
mods and Spanish soldiers and murdered
after being invited to a. conference, is offi-
cially and emphatically denied.

 

Honors For Macao's Slayer. .
MADRID, Dec. 14.—The killing of Macao
,is likely to result in promotion and other
honors for Major Cirujeda, who command
ed the Spanish force in the engagement in
which the rebel leader lost his life. Queen
Regent Christina today received Major
Cirujeda’s wife and oldest son. The queen
regent showed by her conversation that
she appreciated fully the gain that; had
accrued to Spain through the death of
Maceo and spoke warmly in praise of Ma-
jor Cirujeda’s bravery in attacking a large-

ly superior force of rebels, the official dis-

patches showing that the Spaniards were
She
promised ‘as a token of her appreciation of
Major Cirujeda’s act‘fi to undertake the

expenses of the education of his son. .

KEY WEST, Dec. 14-.—-Somc passengers
from Cuba today state that the rcportof
Maceo’s death is false. ' A lady on board
the boat read a letter purporting to have

up to the present time they have not been
able to produce it.

THAT vENEZUELAN TREATY

[to Delay In Caracas Not Brought About
by Any Serious Objections to Its
° Terms. but by theVConsideratlon
of Minor Amendments.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Senator Teller
of Colorado was at the capitol yesterday
for the first time this session. Several-sil-
ver menwere in conference with him dur-
ing the day, the matters under discussion
relating largely to the election of senators
in states where the silver men have con-
trol, but in which no one party has a ma-
jority. ‘It is believed Senator Tellcr’s in-
fluence in these states will have great
weight, and different candidates are seek-
ing the senator’s assistance.

Senator Teller would not be intprviewed
as to his future course or his position upon
measures which may or may not come be-
fore congress. He would not, he said,
outline a policy for himself or others who
believed with him, preferring to meet mat-
ters as they developed. Referring to tarifi“
legislation in the next senate, Senator Tell-
er modestly said he was not elected to the
next; senate as yet. When asked regarding
the late Republican caucus, he said he
would not have attended had he been in
the city.

Asked what he thought of the interna-
tional bimetallic proposition put forward
by his colleague, Senator Wolcott, Mr.
Teller remarked that he hoped it would be
successful, but added that he knew it
could not be, as the nations with whom
the attempt was to be made would not
consent to bimetallism. The senator said
he took that position when he was a mem-
ber of the committee on resolutions at St.
Louis and added that if the gold men
thought there was any hope for interna-
tional bimetallism they would not. be in fa.-
vor of it.

The Venezuelan Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Dac. 14.#It is learned
here that no serious difficulties have been
encountered in the Venezuelan boundary
negotiations since they were transferred
to Caracas.

It is true that Messrs. Andrade and
Storrow expected to sail for the United
States from Laguayra Thursday last after
having completed, their mission, which
was t6 secure the approval of the Venezue-
Ian government to the terms arranged in
Washington, but their detention is ex-
plained by the fact that the Venezuelan
executivelfifter having given his approval,
fé‘l’lnd that some amendments o the pro-
posed treaty were desirable. These, it is
understood, are not of "rear. importance
and are rather in the nature of additional
safeguards than of amendments of the ar-
ticles of agreement already arranged.

As the matter thus far has not reached
the treaty stage and only the heads of
agreement have bebn indicated in the
memorandum between Secretary Olncy
and Lord Salisbury, there are no techni-
cal obstacles totthe proposed amendments,
and the only question for consideration is
whether or not their proposal at this stage
will in any way jeopardize the entire agree-
ment or greatly delay its consummation.

The Chapman Case.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. ——No date has yet-

been determined upon for the surrender of
Broker E. R. Chapman 'of New York, the
recalcitrant Sugar trust witness, though
the action is expected early in the week.
Broker Chapman will come on from New
York, surrender to the United States mar-
shal here, apply to a United States su-.
preme court of justice for a writ of habeas
corpus, and, if it is allowed, will be released
on bail pending the action of the supreme
court. Refusal to issue the writ necessi-
tates, it is stated, Mr. Chapman’s serving
his sentence, of 30 days’ imprisonment and
paying $100 fine.

Internal Revenue Receipts.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—The annual re-
port of Commissioner Joseph S. Miller of
the internal revenue bureau shows the re-
ceipts for the fiscal year ended June 30 to
have been 3146, 830,615; for the fiscal year
1895, $143,246,077; for the fiscal year
1894, $147,168,449, and for the fiscal year
1893, $161,004,489. '

 

Not a Filibuster.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—'1‘he treasury
officials having become convinced that the
statement of the master of the alleged fili-
bustering steamer Commodore, now at
Jacksonville, that she does not intend to
engage in any expedition'to Cuba is bona
fide, he has been authorized to proceed
with his regular business.

 

The Choctaw Agreement.

FORT SMITH, Ark., Dec. 14,—The Choc-
taw delegates have agreed with the Dawes

gium, France and Russia will meet at
Paris in March of next year for the pur-
pose of considering the best .means of

man and child Seems to have some
thing to do, and'even the men do not
lounge about "as usual, but are sharp-
ening then-knives and machetes and
putting their-"guns into proper trim.

The rubber in central Africa is not
a tree, but a vine, often three or four
inches in diameter. This vine genen
ally climbs up the tallest trees and the
natives [Often uSe one of the vines to
ascend the tree. After the branches
are reached, which in most cases are
at least fifty feet from the ground, the
men proceed to cutaway at the top,
leaving only One for their descent, and

this one, if possible, not a rubber vine

It seems strange that the natives cut
away the rubber plants and so destroy
them instead of tapping them, but
they are too lazy to learn any other
way.

After the vines have fallen they are
cut into lengths of three or four feet.
and the juice is collected into iron pots.
This is a tedious job. The piece of
the vine is held over the pot, first by
One endpthen by the other until the
juice ceases running. Then the piece
is out again to get at any juice which
may have been left in the middle. Af-
ter a pot is nearly full :1 rest is taken.
and this juice is boiled for nearly two
hours, and, during-the boiling process,
is mixed with the juice of other vines
and some lime juice, so that the mix-
ture is more sticky and easier formed
Into balls.

As soon as it cools down sufficiently
to be handled, the hardening rubber is
shaped by winding it at first around a
stick. After a bit the stick is pulled
out and the ball is re-wound to finish
it off. In some places these balls
weigh three pounds or more each; in
others, five of them make a pound.
The purity of the rubber depends
much upon how much other juice has
been added. ’ihe best and purest is
that obtained 3.0m the juice without
boiling. This is only found in the
shape of bracelets, because the natives
Wind the juice as it runs out around

perfectly dry it slips off easier. This
would be transparent rubber if the
skin and fingers Of the natives were
not so Very dirty.

The natives often used to put for-
eign substances, such as small stones,
palmnuts, and little balls of grass into
:he rubber ball to make it heavy. They
were soon found out, and every ball
.s now out through the centre to reveal
its mixture. Often the rubber is buried
for some days because it draws the
noisture from the ground, which adds
:0 the weight. Cheating is resorted to
secause the pay is so poor. It takes
I. party of eight or ten men and oys
six to eight weeks to gather rom
eighty to one hundred pounds of rub-
)er. The value of this, if all is first-
:lass, is from 200 to 250 yards of cot-
ton cloth or forty gallons of rum or
three or four flintlock guns. Surely
this is poor pay for this kind of work.
