Maceo Piloted to His Death Under Promises of Peace. ' Had Been Told the Spanish Wished to Make a Treaty. | Jacksonville, Fia, Dec 12.—Justo Carrillo, a well known Cuban of this city, brother of the Cuban general letter from a trust worthy corres- pondent in Havana, confirming the reports of the death of Antonio Maceo, and showing that he was | killed by treachery: | “Havana, Dec. 9—Dear Friend | Juste: Our brave general, Antonio | Maceo, and the greater part of bis | staff, have been murdered by the Spaniards, Spanish major, Cirvjeda, acting the part of assassin, with Dr. Maximo Zertucha as an assistant io the horrible drama. Convinced that, notwithstanding he could do nothing against our gallant leader, i who had so repeatedly defeated the | Spanish generals in Pinar del Rio, Weyler conceived the idea of ap- cold blooded murder: tween Dr. Zertucha and the Marquis of Ahumada, he planned with the |latter his hellish scheme. i Weyler took the field and in his ' absence Ahuma ds proposed, througk | Zertucha, aconferecee with Maceo. |to take place at a certain point in the provinces of Havana, with tke is NOW OFFERING SPECI WAS MURDERED IN COLD er ’ Carrillo, has received the following | peasing his beastly instincts by | and making | the best of the secret relations be- LANE& ADAIR : AL AND PART UCEMENTS IN ALL LOOKING FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS: oney by call in aud investigating. one of these beautiful Celebrated Beifeld Cloaks eme )'OU CAN BUY THEM AT COST NO Weme A fine dress patern, fine fur rug.

The basis was | }to be Cuba's independence and a | monetary indemuity to Spaiu. to Leics with certain advantages that | | should be agreed upon for Spanish | capital invested there. | To carry out the plan the agree- ‘ment was that orders shou'd be given vo the detachments of troops ' stationed op the trocha in sections between Mariel avd Guanajay to al- low Maceo with his staff to pass the | military line uomolested. Time was required to mature these | arrangements and to give them all ‘the appearance of truth, Ahumada feigned that before acting he must ' make them knowa to Weyler for his previous approva!. This explains the arrival of W rin Havana and his prompt return to Pinar del Rio The condition and plac of tbe meet ing being agreed on, Maceo crossed the trocha over the road to Guana jay, without being moleeted 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 Msjor | Cirujeda, who ambusb.

The Spaniards know where tho , bodies are, but we bent on feigning ignorance to blot the vestiges of the: crime. Havana and all Spain are re- J veing because in their stupidity they hope the war may end with the death of their leader. Far from it The spirit of the Cubans bas grown more ardent, and to-day they are re solved to make every sacrifice before surrendering their arms to the re lentless tyrants. In this very prov ince of Havana in which our army is least numerous and has the least means of defense, the Cubans ure operating with greater and greater activity.and nota day passes that we do not hear in this city the firing The Spaniards some of our patriote, but no earthly power of liberty on Guanabacoa may treacherously raurder can anoibilate the spirit flowing, now as ever, over the Cahan people.” Washington, Dec 11.—Represen tative Boatner of Louisiana has m troduced a bill increaeing the salary of the speaker of the beuse from $8.000 to $10,000, and of senators and repres«ntatives from £5,090 ta $7,500.
