A dispatch to the World from Havana says : A letter written by Jose Miro, chief of staff, describing General Maceo'a death, has been shown me. Miro planned many of Maceo'a operations. The letter ia dated Managua, December 9, two days after Maceo'a death, and confirms fully the first reports by the correspond ents of the World and of the Associated Press. Miro writes that Maceo was encamped near a small bouse and was expecting to be joined by the forces ot Castillo and Sanchez, He saw the advance of the Spanish irregular cavalry (guerillas), be longing to Major CIrujeda's Spanish column, and rode forward to meet them, believing them to be friends. A volley was discharged at him and his group and he fell dead. , There are 14,000 sick soldiers in hos pitals in and about Havana. The Regu lar hospitals speedily became over crowded and warehouses and other large buildings are now used for the purpose. Four hundred and thirty-eight cases of yellow fever have been reported in this city in the last seven days.

The Evening 1 Post's copyrighted London cablegram today has the following : "The Cuban resolution in the "United States senate would be regarded here as little more than a useful safety valve for jingo sentiment, did not Madrid tele grams show the highly inflammable state of the Spanish populace. The out burst following Maceo' s death, in which the court was forced to join, is described as bordering on frenzy. It suggests bow far Bastilian sensitiveness and popular enthusiasm may push the Spanish gov ernment without waiting iorJormal proof of the validity of the action of congress. "In the event of a Spanish appeal to the European powers, it is remem bered' that French protests - are still heard against the assumed American protectorate over the continent, where France has large interests. , " 'America,' Bays the Manchester Guardian today, 'is doing her best to in volve herself again in a tangle of Eu ropean diplomatic relations, by opening one foreign Question" after another in which Europe is deeply interested.'

She will be equipped with four six-pound rapid-fire guns and four one-pounders. In addition, she will have the entirely new feature of a torpedo tube. She is to be schooner rigged, with three masts, and will be capable of making long cruises with only her sails in use. She will carry a power ful searchlight. Accommodations are to be provided for ten officers and a crew of seventy-five men. Enthusiastic Southerners. Georgetown, S. C. Dec. 19.
