The last letter that the Cuban junta in New York city received from Antonio Maceo, curiousty, contained an estimate of the qualities of Gen. Ruiz Rivera, who, if Maceo has been killed, as is now generally admitted, will succeed to that insurrection- ist leader's command. General Maceo wrote: “Rivera is not only brave, tireless and indomitable, but he is a great tactician He is a thorough soldier, and has had mili- tary advantages enjoyed by but few of the men in my command. He knows the map of Cuba as well as the oldest guide, and can hold Pinar del Rio against the Spanish army for ten years, if necessary. His ideas of mountain fighting have always met with my cordial approval, and in those instances where he has been compelled to think and act for himself, he has shown a coolness, a wisdom and a strategic talent even su- perior to my own. On several occasions he has converted defeat into vittory. On others, when it looked as if he and a small ferce were absolutely shut in by a large army, he has escaped without losing a man. “In establishing his post he has picked out invariably positions that were almost impregnable, and which at the same tim permitted him an avenue of escape in ca’ the worst should come to the worst. “In storing and concealing munitions of war and camp equipments he has shown a cunning that at times has made me even laugh. I believe he could conceal a regi- ment of horses inside of a Spanish army and keep them undiscovered a month. “He had a great record in the ten years’ war, and since that time has continued his military studies and experience. He was a good organizer and a good disciplinarian, and at the same time is very popular with his men. He is what is called a Yankee in his methods, being very careful of his sol- diers, cautious of losing life, and extremely strict in keeping the weapons of his men in the best possible order. It is well to write you of these things, necause at any mozaent I am liable to be killed by the enemy. and some one to take my place. If it be Rivera, I am certain you will have a general of such ability and greatness.” Much indignation is expressed to the junta over the announcement made by € United States Consul to Cardenas, 8. P. C. Henriques, that Gen. Weyler, on gloating over the murder of Maceo, had given au- thority to a band of 500 negroes to march through the island and pillage and ravage everything they met in the w: Telegrams conveying expressions of con- dolence and promising to purchase powder and arms for the continuance of the fight in Cuba were received from Jacksonville, Dallas, Tampa, Key West, New Ori Atlanta, Guaymas, Mexico, and Prince. The Cuban junta has not yet received a complete list_of the members of General Maceo's staff who were killed recently Some of the little band that fell with Ma- ceo are supposed to have been from Call- fornia, but the junta cannot confirm that report. A part of the staff, which sisted of sixteen men, was recruited in New York city. William Hill, an arms manufacturer of Jersey City, has offered to the junta a large cannon, which will probably be epted. Rev. Dr. Scudder of Jersey City had a Cuban flag in his pulpit Sundas tee WEYLER MAKES A STATEME Bodies of Maceo and Gomez Were Carried Away by the I eo The New York World correspondent at Havana sends the following signed state- ment from Gen. Weyler on Maceo’s death. The paper will print the original Spanish, of which the following is a translation: “HAVANA, December 14.—Maceo died as a result of the feeble state in which were the insurgent bands at Havana. Doubtless before the sudden attacks and the constant persecution of the battalion of San Quentin they were losing ground. “To reorganize those bands, he put him- self at their head, and for this he died, with part of the staff accompanying him. In the same manner have died many generals in gil the wars over the world. Maceo was not killed in ambush. My assertion can be proved by the fect that the Spanish column which fought against his forces had to maintain itself against the fire of the in- surgents, and the insurgents were strong enough in numbers to retake the bodies of Maceo and the son of Maximo Gomez. which were carried away from the field. Maceo was surrounded with his own, who em- barked with him and passed the trocha, it is affirmed by his own physician, Dr. Zer- tucha. “It is not true that Maceo was coming fer any conference with me. I can prove it with tvo reasons. The first is that if 1 was in the province of Pinar del Kio, how could I summon him to the province of Havana?
