WHAT JOSE MIRO SAYS
The Spanish Version of the
Death of Maceo Correct.
MISTOOK SPANIARDS FOR FRIENDS
President Cleveland Is Given an Enthu
siastic Reception at Georgetown,
South Carolina.
New York, Dec. 19. 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. Smallpox
continues epidemic, but is chiefly among
civilians, few cases 'being reported
among the soldiers;
A dispatch from the World corres
pondent at Santiago de Cuba nnder
date of December 9, says Commander
Veleh and 200 Spanish guerillas attacked
a Cuban hospital' in Tarahucca on the
morning of December 6. The place was
protected by a small garrison. It made
a heroic defense, but could not prevent
the Spaniards from breaking in. They
killed all of the sick, 20 in number, and
burned the house. The Cuban guard
bad fought until every man waB killed
or' wounded.
SPANIARDS IN A FRENZY.
Populace In a Highly Inflammable State
of Mind.
.Sew York, Dec. 19. 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.' "

down the ways, Miss Helen Shoemaker
stepped forward, and, breaking a bottle
of champagne upon the cutter's bow,
said: "I christen thee Hugh McCul
loch." The launching was a success in every
way. The new vessel will " be known as
tke "queen of the revenne marine."
She has been designed for service on the
Pacific coast, and will make long
Alaskan and Arctic cruises. Not only is
she the largest cutter yet planned for
the service, but she is of peculiar con
struction, fitted for her prospective bat
tles with heavy ice.
It was necessary in her building to
make the largest manganese bronze
castings ever attempted to serve as stern
posts. Her construction is of a com
posite nature, tbe frame being of steel,
and the bottom of five-inch planking,
copper-covered. 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. Presi
dent Cleveland was given a most enthu
siastic reception here today. The party
arrived at 3:30 p. m., amid the whistling
of engines, the ringing of belle, tbe fir
ing of cannon and the cheering of chil
dren and older ones, and were immedi
atly driven to the historic old Winyah
Indigo Society building, where, under
large bright United States flags, battle
scared remnants and memories of the
Mexican war and gorgeos festoons, a re'
cepoion of an hour was held. When the
party left for Washington on the special
car Coronet-, a great crowd was at tbe
depot, and as Mr.Cleveland stood uncov
ered on the rear platform, tbe people
waved handkerchiefs and cheered.
The shooting today compared favor
ably with that of other days, and a large
string of ducks was transferred from the
Wisteria to the Coronet.'

A drowning man would have little use

to bother with a remedy that is going to
take weeks to show its beneficial effects.
The Mount Lebannon Shakers are of
fering a product- under the name of
Shaker Digestive Cordial which yields
immediate relief. The very first dose
proves beneficial in most cases ; and it
is owing to their unbounded confidence
in it, that they have put 10 cent sample
bottles on tbe market. These can be
had through any druggist ; and it will
repay the afflicted to invest the -trifling
sum necessary to make a trial.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial relieves

About four year ago Eczema made its ap

was attended by two physicians, but notwith
standing their t.catment itcontinued spread
ing, until my face was covered with scales
and became a horrid loathsome sight, Foi
three months I Cid not leave the house, and
people passing would turn, and took back
when seeing me at the window. I had a fine
bead of hair, seven years prowth, and had to
sacrifice it. I was in despair. The physicians
bad failed even to relieve me, when one of
them recommended Cuticura. Soap. My
father dismissed the doctors and procured a
full set of Cuticuba Rbmeuies. 1 com
menced using them according to directions,
and in three weeks from the time 1 began,
the scales had left my faco and the skin lost
its florid hue. In fix vseekn I neat entirely
cured. My f ice was smooth and my com
plexion clearer and finer than it had ever
Seen before. I used three boxes pf Cuticuba,
one half dozen cakes of Cuticuka Soap, and
one bottle of Cuticuba Rjesolvemt. Persons
