The Cuban representatives in this country sitll refuse to credit the report of General Maceo’s death, and even if Maceo were dead, they say, there are other leaders in \.e Insurgent army able and ready to take his place. Mr. Palma, the head of the Cu- han junta, says that the news, even If it were confirmed, would not seriously affect the progress of the struggle or cause any change in the -plans. The Philadelphia Press this morning contained the following signed communication from Mr. Gonzalo de Quesada, the charge d‘affaires of the Cuban republic in this city: “The Cuban legation at Washington have received no official communication in re- gard to the death of Gen. Antonio Maceo except a dispatch received by Thomas Es- trada Palma from a most reliable source, reading as follows: “Maceo passed the trocha on the 4th; news of his death absolutely false. I au- thorize you to deny it’ “In a few days direct communications from Havana will be received. As’soon as it is officially announced by the Cuban gov- ernment to its representatives that General Maceo is dead, and that a lieutenant: gen- eral of the army has ‘been appointed, the Cuban legation will then announce it. Un- til then it cannot admit the truth of the re- port. “If the Cubans should be so unfortunate as to lose this gallant chief, instead of diminishing their ardor their efforts would cply be redoubled.
