GOING TO STICK THEM
Barbed Wire Fences for the
Insurgents. .
RESOLVED TO TEAR MACEO'S PANTS
The Gypsy Would Not need the Warn
ing and is to Meet a Shock
ing Fate.
New Yoiik, Dec. 11. The work of
strengthening the fortifications about
Havana is beiog pushed with noticeable
energy. Guns are being placed on the
heights around the city, all pointing
toward the sea. The fortifications of
the port of Matanzas also are being
etrengthened. '
The government sent 500 laborers to
Guanabacoa to constructentrenchmepts
and erect new barricades as a precaution
against a fresh insurgent raid. It is
understood that the whole town is to be
enclosed with a barbed wire fence.
, Brigadier-General de Cardenas and
Lieutenant-Colonel Raoul Arango, the
Cuban leaders to Havana province, re
ported wounded early iti November, are
both convalescent. Lieutenant-Colonel
Arango waa in command ten days ago,
and directed the late attack at Guana
bacoa, across the bay from Havana.
TBF VIEWS OF SPAIN.
- Memorial
Upon the Cuban Question
BeltfK Prepared.
Dadbid, Dec. 11. The Spanish gov
ernment will frame a long memorandum
on the Cuban question, it is said, in po
litical and diplomatic circles, fully set
ting forth Spain's views regarding her
rights-and giving the whole history of
the relations between this government
and President Cleveland, since the be
ginning of the revolt. This memoran
dum will be a sort of indirect reply to
the president's message. It will be
communicated simultaneously to the
American and European governments.
- The present Spanish cabinet and the
leaders of all political parties agree in
thinking that Spain must continue to
avoid giving America the slightest pre
text for taking offense. They also agree
that Spain should maintain her present
friendly disposition towards America in
official relations, so that the whole re
sponsibility of a rupture, if brought
about by the fntervention threatened,
sbonld rest entirely with the United
States. '

ELEPHANT TO BE ELECTROCUTED.
Suffer the
Cabana Contend That Contrary Reports
Are False
New York, Dec. 11. Delegate Tom as
Estrada Palma, when asked if the ad'
ditional information regarding General
Maceo's death had in any way infla
enced his former opinion as to the ver
acity of the news, said :
"Not in the least. I cannot accept
the reports so far published as conclu
sive evidence of General Maceo's death
I have just received a Key West cable
dispatch from my agent in Havana, say
ing: 'Maceo passed the trocha Decem
ber 6. Report of death absolutely false,
You may contradict it upon my respon
sibility,' " -
Besides the above telegram, Senor
Palma exhibited several other die
patches from places in Europe and
America, asking him for information re
garding Maceo. Among the cablegrams
one received from a wealthy Cuban in
Paris, reads : "Cable us about Maceo.
I place $10,000 at your disposal. Let us
not dismay. Go ahead."
Another cable dispatch from Porto
Plata, San Domingo, says: "Cubans
and sympathizers request further in
formation as to Maceo's fate. -Accept
Famous "Gypsy" (Most
Death Penalty..
' Chicago, Dec. 11. Gypsy, the fa
mous old circus elephant which has
killed four keepers, is soon to suffer for
her terrible past at the hands of the exe
cutioner. The monster, which has for
the last several years been running the
Harris Nickel-Plate circus to suit her
self, will be wiped off the earth with a
stroke of lightning. Mr. Harris believes
that Gypsy will be of more use to
humanity when made into soap, so the
animal will be electrocuted at Tatter
sail's as soon as a date can be decided
upon.
Gypsy is well known all over the
United States, and is . considered the
most dangerous elephant in captivity.
She has toured the county with the Har
ris combination for 10 years ' and is at
present at the winter quarters of the
circus. .Last winter the animal escaped
from its home and caused great ex
citement on the West Bide bv running
through the streets, damaging every
thing .she came in ' contact with.
Before she was captured Frank Scott,
her keeper, was killed, the elephant
stepping ou him and crushing out his
life. Since then she ehe has had adozen
keepers The men stay a week and re
sign rather than risk their lives in car
ing for the animal. Yesterday the laBt
man put in charge of Gypsy threw up
bis job and the big circus man who is
unable to find another keeper, has been
poking food into the animal with
clothes pole. - Tiring of this, he has de
cided to turn Gypsy over to science and
lightning. Manager Willis, of the Har
ris show, applied yesterday to the col
lector for a permit to electrocute the
brute, providing the city authorities
thought there was enough electricity in
the eky. If there is not, be. declares he
will tap all the trolley wires in the city
and send her to her fathers on the rapid
transit plan.

Sentiment Farorlna; Independent Got
eminent la Spreading;.
Montreal, Dec. 11. The strong un
der-current of sentiment throughout Ca
nada favorable to a separation from
Great Britain and the establishment of
an independent Canadian republic - on
this continent has begun to take tangi
ble shape. The organization of inde
pendence clubs has been in active pro
gress during the past five or six months
and a convention ' has been called to
meet in this city in March next, with
the object of federating all groups and
clubs of the domain. Until then the
chief work will be to group individuals
favoring the independence movement
throughout Canada ; that is, to effect
the co-operation of all those who favor
national independence by pacific means.
. The Associated PresB correspondent is
informed that the movement is gaining
ground rapidly in the rural districts, es
pecially In Port Neuf, Drammond, Gran
by and the most remote districts. Two
organizers are traveling in the interest
of Canadian independence clubs through
out the Canadian centers in the United
States in the Eastern townships, where
the idea seems to meet with great favor.
An important meeting was held last
night in Montreal. The meeting was se
cret, but the Associated Press obtained
a copy of the by-laws and constitution
which were adopted. The preamble
which is perhaps the most important
part of the document, reads as follows :
"This association shall be known as
the Independence Club of Canada, and
shall be composed of all persons desirous
of obtaining political liberty and the in
dependence of Canada.. .
'Its object shall be :
'First The study of the Canadian
people, and of the resources, of the coun
try.
Second The encouragement of a
true national spirit amongst the popula
tion.
"Third To obtain the liberty and in
dependence of Canada by legitimate and
pacific means." .

substitute. He will not claim there is
anything better, but in order to make
more profit be may claim something else
to be just as good. You want Dr. King's
New Discovery because you know it to
be safe and reliable, and guaranteed to
do good or money refunded. For Coughs,
Colds, Consumption and for all affec
tions of Throat, Chest and Lungs, there

Discovery. Trial bottle free at Blakeley

Will Take a Vacation.
Washington, Dec. 11. President
Cleveland, feeling the need of rest, has
arranged an outing, in which he will be
accompanied by Captain R. D. Evans,
of the navy ; Captain Lumberton of the
fifth lighthouse district, and Dr.
O'Reilly, the president's physician. He
will leave here late Saturday night or
Sunday morning by rail for Georgetown,
S. C, where they will be met by a
lighthouse tender and taken down
Winyan bay to the club bouse, where
the' party will be, the guests of General
Alexander. The same club entertained
the president and party about two
years ago. ,
- Something; to Know.
It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the' nerve centres in -the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
mpurities in the blood. Electric Bit
ters improves the appetite, aids diges
tion and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood puri
fier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for
50c or $1.00 per bottle at Blakeley &
Houghton's Drug Store. (2)
Mrs. McKinley at Chicago.
