HOW JOSE MACED DIED.
Killed at the End of a Long Fight.
SgWicial Corr. New York Berald.
4SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Cuba, July 12, 1896d.
The most important Incident of the last
Sfew days Is the death of the rebel leader,
Jose Maceo, in an engagement between his
and Periquito Perez's forces on the 5th in
stant, in Loma del Gato, and the Spanish
- columns of General Albert and Colonel
Vara del Rey, numbering 1,500 men. The
engagement was a severe one, lasting six
hours, both Spaniards and Cubans showing
great courage.
The insurgents, owing to the splendid po
sitions they had on the heights of Loma
del Gato, defeated the Spanish. who lost
more than eighty killed, among them a
commander and 100 wounded. Among the
latter were one captain and two lieuten
ants, very seriously wounded. The rebels
had Jose Maceo, Brigadier Cartagena and
ten men killed and fifty-nine wounded.
A great many Spanish wcunded were
brought to this city last night in the train,
many others having beeh left In Songo.
The body of Jose Maceo was exposed in
state for a day in the coffee plantation Bi
cocas, and was burled on the night of the
6th In the same place where Victorian Gar
zon lies, between Santa Maria Sabina and
_La Ysabela.
Large Feet and Malt Drinks.
From the Norfolk Virginian.
O. It has been discovered that all women
who partake to any extent of malt drinks
have large feet! The women of Holland,
Germany and even England are quoted as
examples, while the women of the wine
countries, France, Spain and Italy, are, on
thie other hand, famed for their small and
shapely feeot.
Connpanions in Misery.
From the Atchison Globe.
The parrot had been naughty and hurt
the baby. This made the mistress so
mad that she thr?w the bird under the
bed, where It remained in disgrace. When
the husband came home he inquired for
the bird and was told that it was under
the bed. As he erawled in after It the
*bird inquired:

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 23.
As the torrid, sultry neonth of July nears
to close and the.approach of the dreaded
log days draws nearer and nearer the pop
ilation of the cool and pleasant city-by-the
sea becomes more and more summer-like in
ts proportions and aspect. The weather here
ias truly been delightful. The thermome
er has not exhibited any undue aspira
tions skyward, and there has been no en
leavor made by the sun's rays to see how
ruicksilver. can jump either by a 16 to I
ratio or anything else. The evenings are
particularly delightful and the bathing.
boating and fishing are at their best. So
>ool has it been, in fact, that several times
luring the past week spring overcoats at.d
tight wraps have been desirable accompani
ments to a boardwalk promenade. on the
other hand, from all accounts, the heat of
the larger cities has been something awful.
go, given these two conditions, it is not to
be wondered at that Atlantic is enjoying
the patronage of the heated and want-to
be-cooled-off thousands.
All week the trains have been bringinhg
in large consignraents of human freight,
and the hotels have all a prosperous air
LbOut them.
Along the Walk.
The population numbers many Washing
tonians, a fact which is made apparent by
the long list of familiar capital city nam-s
upon the hotel registers. Washington Is
;ending an unusual number of guests here
riow, and this seawa.rd exodus from your
:ity will, in all probability, continue, and
even increase, as the season grows stronger
and the summer waxes warmer.
A salk %long the esplana-te reveals the
presence of a number of well-known Wash
iugtonians there and many pleasant social
meetings take place. The wooden railing
erected by the city as a temporary guari
for the new walk is being torn down, an]
the ornamental iron railings are being put
up. The work was ba-gun Wednesday an i
will be con'Pleted in a short time. Witwin
it is finished Atlantic City will rejoice in
the possession of what is undoubtedly the
linest walk or esplanade of its kind in the
world.
The craze for novelties along this seaside
bculevari continues unabated. One might
think that ingenuity had been exhausted
and invention d1ullal in the. thousand anel
Dne devices for entertaining the phlkasure
sAeker strewn along the walk, but the de
sire for 'something new" has even again
been gratilied. Death and its terrors ar
reproduced for the delectation and delight
of the novelty-seekers right at tke sea's
edge, almost.
A Gruesome Novelty.
Many readers of The Star will remember
the descriptive titorles which came from
Paris not so long ago, concerning the fa
nious and somewhat gruesome "cabaret de
la more," which held forth on the Loule
vard. This was the Cafe of Death, and it
has been reproduced on Atlantic City's
board walk. A building, which somewhat
resembles a church on its exterior, and
which is simply a long, black hall inside.
offers to the jaded traveler the novelty
sought. On entering he is confronted by
grinning skeletons and fantastic arrange
ments of cross-bones, which he dimly sees
by the light of lamps, which are constructed
of skulls. Attendants garbed in somber
livery serve refreshments upon tables which
are coffins, and the stage entertainment
consists of the transformation of a member
3f the audience into a corpse and back to
the quick again.
When the visitor leaves he whistles a long
aote and says: "What next?"
The board walk amusements, until Wed
sesday night, have included three some
what doubtftil attractions, which were
known as the Turkish Theater, the Grecian
rheater and the Living Picture Show. They
were all notable for the rather risque per
formances given therein. On Wednesday
aight, however, Mayor Stay and the licenqe
and police committee of the council made
a tour of the walk to pass judgment on the
"shows" thereof, and after a severe inves
Ligation decided that the three mentioned
should go. And, accordingly, go they will.
Nunmed After McKinley.
Marshal George F. Senft, city chief of
Egg Harbor's police department, is a hap
py man. Upon the day of Maj. McKinley's
nomination a baby boy was born into the

No. CIa.a of People More Addie-ted to
the Writing iit.
From the5s' rhwagor Trilsune.
There is no class xlhich is more~ suas it
to that common malady, the uss-Ihi'ling
mania, thtan royalty. Thse troublle asr!..a inl
this case from an abusndatnce of Iiis-ir' and
money. The sovereIgns, princes or princess
es have noticed the attention which ordi
nary persons attract to themselvec by thse
puliicationl of books, and feel tb:t loyali
millions are yearning to hear fromu themr
also.
When they see themselves in print they
are thrilled. The result is almost ine-vitabhle
that they repeat the offense. In v-ery few
cases have these royal piulicsationis the.- ex
ctuse of any literary muerit. Ps'-has the
Queen of Roumuania, the poetess "Carmen
Sylva," is an exception to this r.l, but it
is safe to say that her werks have not
given joy to a very large reading psublic.
The most cotnspicuous examph-ls of royal
literature have biesen furnished hsv hssr ma
ji sty the queen. Her first work was ''Early
Days of His Royal Highness, the Prince
Consort." The next, pubtlished in 1Iss1.- was
"Leaves From the Journal of slur Life In
the Highlands." This is unudoubtedlly her
chief work. In 1885 she publIshed "More
Leaves Prom the Journal of Our Life in
the Highlandls." She also edit.-d the 'Life
of His Royal Hig:hness, the Prince Con
sort," which was written by Sir Theodore
Martin.
Many of her majesty's numerous descend
ants have had fancIes in the same direc
tion. The Princess of Walesetis. of course,
an exception. The Duke of ('lar-nce anid
Duke of York wrote a journal of their voy
age around thme world in the cruiser lBac
chante.
Found a Pet Full et Gold.
From the New Yott Journal.
Daniel Wandell, a farmer, has lived for
sixty years In the old family homestead on
the Richmond road, in Concord, Staten Is
land. He was well-to-do bsefore last Sat ur
day, but on that day he becamne' wealthie~r
by some $10.003l In gold, which he found in an
old Iron pot, at least so he hImself says.
That day workmen on the Midland rail
road trolley line hatted In front of hIs house
to dig a hole for a pole. In the evening
Farmer Wandeil, moved by curiosity, went
out to the open hole and looked down into it.
What appeared to be an Iron pot showed on
the side of the clay in the hole. He secured
a shovel, and, after a little iabor, excavated
the pot, which he took into the yard and
opened.
It was a veritable pot of gold. Then he
turned t-he pot over and pured out a large
sum. The colns ween sted thirty years
ao. Their condition and that of the pqt
showed that the treasur had been hidden
for mnaye as.
