In Convrution at the Htate Capital
Tho State tirangc Alo Outlier at
l.aiifclns '" an Annual Meeting.
Karnier'a Clubs Meet at Lansing.
Tho annual meeting' of the State
Association of Farmers' clubs was held
at Lansing. Gov. Rich was ono of the
rinr!i:il sneakers, and ho dwelt
particularly upon the condition of
,the state institutions. He referred
to tho question of having relatives
of insane patients pay for their
keeping1 as far as they were able; also
to the convict labor problem. The
governor said ho thought the Univer
sity of Michigan should not ask for any
moro special appropriations from tho
state, but bhould Iks content with the
one-sixth mill tax. E. L. Lockwood,
of Petersburg, spoke in response to
the governor. A commit tee was up
pointed to confer with a. like committee
from the. State Grange, to agree on leg
islative measures to be advocated,
i President A. N. Kimmis. of Oakland
'i.v outlined the recommendations
of tho executive committee, which, if j
adopted, would save the. tax payers at
least 500,000 a year. They are, in
brief: All county officers, paid by sal
ary instead of fees, ami liable to pros
ecution if they accept any perquisites;
all fees readjusted and turned into tho
county treasury; no new state institu
tions; weeding out of unprofitable in
stitutions and doing away with un
businesslike methods; prisons made
self-supporting; insane to be treated, in
full or iu part at the expense of their
estate or relatives; no special appropri
ations for tho U. of M.; no changes to
make road laws more burdensomo than
at present; more economical system for
collection of taxes on non-residents;
more equitable distribution of taxes
upon personal and reaj property. Mr.
Kimmis declared that the state had
lost 5100,000 by departing from the
constitutional plan of doing its own
printing.
; Robert Gibbons, of Detroit, roasted
tho press and public generally for the
abuse heaped upon legislators, saying
they are, as a class, neither dishonest
nor unpatriotic. Mrs. Elizabeth John
stone, of Detroit, spoke of woman's in
fluence in farmers' clubs. Prof. Ilrad
ley M. Thompson defended the U. of
M. and said that it was the institution
in which farmers' sons and daughters
secured their higher education, yet
the opposition came from the farmers.
The U. of M. expenses arc only 5300
per student while Harvard requires
$750. A. tV Rird, of Hillsdale, roasted
Prof. llradley. Col. Vie Dcland pointed
out tho expense of running township
government and showed how expenses
could be reduced, and Patrick Hankerd,
of Jackson, urged that juries bo cut
down from 12 to 0. Resolutions were
passed urging local farmers' clubs to
acquaint themselves with the details of
supervisors reports and other county
affairs; urging the formation of county
farmers' clubs; recommending the es
tablishment of a department for ladies'
elubsin the Michigan Farmer.
Tho following officers were elected:
President, J. T. Paniclls, of Clinton
county; vice-president, Patrick Hank
erd, of Jackson; secretary, F. 1). Wells,
of Monroe.

Ernest L. Chase, sou of Dr. Chase, the
author of tho famous recipe book, cut
his w ife's throat with a razor and then
attempted to kill himself by the same
means, at their home in Detroit. Tho
physicians at tho hospital to which
they were taken report that both will
recover unless blood poisoning sets iu.
The couple have two boys, aged 10 and
11, but both were away from home at
the time of tho tragedy. Chase has
dissipated a considerable fortune and
was in rather straighteued circumstances.

The annual meeting of the 'Michigan

Venezuela May not Accept the Treaty.
New York: A special from Caracas
savs Senor Andrade. cnezuelan min
ister to the United Slates, who was to
h ave for Washington at once with the
cabinet's approval of the Guiana bound
ary agreement, has been delayed. It
is said Venezuela will withhold her
consent to the arrangement entered
into between Secretary Olnev and Lord
Salisbury for the settlement oi tuc
dispute.
Washington: The unofticial reports
from Venezuela that a serious agitation
has sprung up against the boundary
settlement agreed on between ine
United States and Great llntain causes
much surprise and no little concern
in official quarters. Mr. Andrade
had previously cabled the time of
his leaving, also stating that President
Crcspo approved the agreement and
would call an extra session of congress
to ratify it. For this reason tho re
ports tlyit Mr. Andrade and Mr. Stor
row will not return at present, owing
to expected developments growing out
of the agitation against the settlement
is felt to embarrass and possibly im
peril the iinal adjustment, which had
been jontidentlv cxpeeted at an early
dav. The Venezuelan papers which
reached Washington on tho last
steaun r are very guarded on the matter
and appear to be under some govern
ment advisement on the subject.

speculation as to the object of her trip.
Her only attendants wero a man and a
woman servant. Liliuokalani declines
to be interviewed and will give no in
formation regarding her plans. Her
fellow passengers on the steamer gath
ered the idea that she will go to Wash
ington and call upon President Cleve
land in the hope that the United States
will take some steps looking to the
restoration of the Hawaiian monarchy.
It is intimated by Col. MacFarlanc, the
ex-queen's former Chamberlain who
now resides in San Francisco, that tho
ox-queen will represent to the Presi

been a failure and that the great ma

of 65 men and had nearly COO pas-
Fengers aboard. Ihey consisted oi
Russians, Galicians, Spaniards and

steerage. The CorroWdo rocks, on
which the Salier was lost, are situated
off the southwest coast of Corunna and
should have been given a wide berth,
but a heavy fog prevailed.
Rkvatk Socond dav About 25 min
utcr was the length of the session and
about the onlv matter of interest was
h notice irlven bv Senator Cullom
that he would open the Cuban discus
Sinn two davs later, lhe Senate ud
lonmed as a mark of respeet to Fx
Speaker Crisp. IIoubk. The pension
bill was nassei 1. carrying 5141,203,880,
about 575,000 less than for the present
year. Threo other bills oi considerable
tmnortanco were passed: One provided
for the use of private mailing cards of
general sizo and character as the pres
ent postal cards, when one cent stamps
are alllxed; another provided for a
limited indemnity of $10 for the loss of
registered mail matter, and the third
provided for a private carrier service

sons as are willing to undertake the
collection and delivery of mails; that
the charge not to exceed one cent for

Sfxatk Third day The Dinglcy
tariff bill was brought up by a vote of
the Senate, but, to the disappointment
of its friends, was immediately hung
up by a motion to recommit it to tne n
nance committee, and the motion was
being debated w hen the hour of ad
journment arrived. Three vigorous
Cuban measures were introduced, as
follows: Dy Senator Cameron, of Pcnn
svlvania. "Resolved. Rv the Senate
and House of Representatives that the
independence of the republic of Cuba
be and the same is hereby acunowi
edged by the United States of Amenc;
Resolved, That the United States
should use its friendly offices with the
government of Spain to bring to
rlni th war between Spain and
Cuba." Dy Senator Mills, of Texas,
"Ilosolved. That the President of the
United States is hereby directed to take
possession of the island of Cuba with
the military and naval forces of the
United States and hold the same until
the neonle of Cuba can organize a gov
ernment deriving its powers from the
consent of the governed and arm and
cnuinsuch military and naval forces
n mar be necessary to secure them
against foreign invasion." Doth of
thes resolutions were referred to the
foreign relations committee, and then
Senator Call, of Florida, offered the
fnllrmrinff. Resolved. Dv the. Senate
and House of Representatives, that the
United States of America recognizes
the republic of Cuba as a free aud in
dependent government, and accord to
the people of Cub.v all the rights oi a
sovereign and independent govern
ment in the ports and within the juris
of the United States." After
this camn a floodof bills covering every
phase of legislation, including an anti
trust bill and a measure ioimin
small notes from circulation, also one
for tho "temnorarv reduction of sala
ri..nf United States o.licers." HnrsE
About a dozen bills were passed,
all being of only local importance and
referring principally to iana uiaucis
tn t.hft west.
Sexate Fourth day The principal
Krpnt of the session was a red hot
sneech bv Senator Cullom, of Illinois,
upon the Cuban question. Mr. Call, of
Florida, also spoke for the suffering
"rrcm of the Antilles." Doth were list
ened to very attentively by the sena
nra and the crowded galleries. The
immieration bill was taken up and dis
cussed. House. Several minor bills
were passed, among them one to pro
hibit the sale of liquor in the capitol
building.
Fifth day No session of the Senate.
IIorsE Private bills occupied the most
of the day and war claims aggregating
518,407 were favorably acted upon.
Senate Sixth day Senator Teller,
of Colorado, made his first appearance
and was cordially greeted, ine vice
president named Senators Sherman, of
Ohio; Klkins. of West Virginia, and
Mitchell, of Wisconsin, as a committee
on the presidential inauguration cere
monies. Mr. Allen, Populist, of Ne
braska, defended the Populists and
said that the east need not fear the
violation of contracts at their hands.
He also took opportunity to praise
Wm. J. Ilrvan. Mr. Hoar, of Massa
chusetts, rebuked Mr. Allen for at
tempting to speak for the whole Pop
ulist party and said it Was something
new for senators to represent parties
in the chamber instead of representing
their states. Mr. Call, of Florida, re
newed attention to the Cuban question
by three resolutions, one being a bitter
denunciation of the manner in wnicn
it is alleged Gen. Antonio Maeeo had
been killed while under a flag of truce.
The other resolutions requested the
iM.:,in. tr om:iml the release of
United States prisoners at the Spanish
penal settlement on tho island of
Ccuta, and also asked the secretary of
state for a list of Americans held in
Spanish prisons. The resolutions went
to the committee on foreign relations.
Senators Chandler and Mitchell had a
tilt over the resolution for the election
of tho President by popular vote. Tho
Immigration bill was taken up, but not
acted upon. House About tho only
important measure passed was a bill
f or moro stringent restriction of the
liquor business in the District of Columbia.
Ankcd to it I'eace Conference und Foully
AMaitfttiiated.
Later dispatches from Cuba by way
of various points confirm the reports of
the killing of (Jen. Antonio Maeeo. Dr.
Maximo Zertucha, who was the per
sonal physician of Maeeo, has surrend
ered to the Spanish and San Felipe
and says that Maeeo was shot in the
chin, the bullet breaking his jaw and
passing out near the shoulders. A
second bullet wounded him in tho ab
domen. Rut this does not tell the
whole of the story. Positive informa
tion, corroborated hy circumstances,
show that Maeeo and his staff were
murdered in cold blood while under a
flag of truce.
It is very apparent that Cant. -Gen.
Wevler had become convinced that ho
could not defeat the Cubans by war
fare in Piuar del uio so he resolved
upon the cowardly assassination.
This was made, possible bv the secret
relations between Dr. Zertucha, the
physician of Maceo's staff, and marquis
of Ahumada, the acting captain-gen
eral at Havana during Weyler's ab
sence in the field. And this is how
the hellish scheme was carried out.
Ahumada. as acting captain-general,
proposed through Zertucha a confer
ence with Maeeo to take place at a cer
tain point in the province or Havana,
with the view of arranging plans for
the cessation of hostilities. J lie basis
was to Ims Cuba's- independence and a
monetary indemnity to Spain together
with certain advantages that should
be agreed upon for Spanish commerce
and Spanish capital invested there.
To carry out the plan the agreement
was made that orders should be given
to the attachments of troops stationed
on the troeha in the section between
Mariel and Guauajay to allow Maeeo
with his staff to pass the military line
sau'ly. Ihe conditions ana pmci- m
the meeting having been agreed on,
Maeeo crossed the troeha over the road
to Guana jay, without being molested
by the sentinels, who in fact recognized
him and presented arms in his honor.
Rut as soon as he arrived at th" place
decided upon Maeeo and bis staff, num
bering 35 men and ohicors, were greeted
by a tremendous volley from the troops
under Maj. Cirujeda. who lay conven
iently in ambush. Most of the officers
on his stall leu witn ten. .uaivn.
Zertucha is alivo because he was aware
of the scheme and remained in the
rear. The bodies of Maeeo and young
Gomez were then tied to the tails of
the soldier's horses, and dragged over
the Held so ns to disfigure them, as the
Soaniands did not wish to have them
discovered and identified at first. It
is now known that Zertucha raceivcs
$50,000 for his part in the tragedy.
Cuban Not Discouraged.
Senor Kstrada Palma, president of
the Cuban junta at New York, says:
"I have news connrming the reports
that Gen. Maceoand his stall came into
conflict with Ahumada, Weyler's lieu
tenant, and were murdered, and ir.
Zertucha was present. I was at first
inclined to believe that the news or
Gen. Maceo's death was false, but it
now seems that he has been foully
murdered. This very act of the Span
ish government proves the strength of
the revolution. They cannot crush it
by open warfare. They must resort to
tho rissnssm's knife. They dared not
face Maeeo so they had to stab him in
the back. Dr. Zertucha had the fullest
confidence of Maeeo and pretended to
be an ardent revolutionist. 1 or over a
venr. It. is Known. Zertucha has Wan
persuading Maeeo to break through
the troeha and had often ollered to
show him how easily it could be done.
As a result of listening to him .Maeeo
and his devoted staff met assassination.
Discouraged!" exclaimed the Cuban
in reolv to a rmestion. "No sir; never.
The blow, though great, will bear fruit
profitable to the cause. It will arouse
public sentiment. It will snow up mo
Snanish method of warfare. When the
truth is spread among the soldiers in
the field they will be spurred on oy ine
spirit of revenge and light with re
doubled fury."
The succession of Gen. Calixito Gar
cia to the lieutenant-generalship of the
Cuban insurgents, and o4 .Maj.-i.en.
Rios Rivera to the command of the
forces iu Pinar del Rio, both of which
positions were held by Maeeo. are fixed
upon practically as certainties by tho
Cuban delegation at Washington.
Roth men are noted campaigners, and
have made strong records. Garcia is
50 years of age and his achievements
in the revolution are history. Rivera,
like Maeeo, is a pupil of the veteran
commandcr-in-chif, Gomez, and was
with him in tho 10 years' war. Rivera
is now in command in Pinar del Rio.
MACEO KILLED.
The Insurgent General Killed oa tho
Itattleflcld GoKJea' Son alo Dead.
Official Spanish dispatches from Ha
vana say that Gen. Antonio Maeeo, tho
second in command to Commander-in-Chief
Gomez, of the insurgent army,
has been killed in Havana province
after having effected the passage of the
western troeha near Mariel, at its
northern extremity. With tho Cuban
leader died the youth. Francisco Gomez,
son of Gen. Gomez, who accompanied
Maeeo on his passage of tho troeha.
Maj. Cirujeda's report of a battle with
the Cubans gives the information. Ife
says that Maeeo with 2,000 men at
tacked the troeha and that a fight
lasting several hours ensued, resulting
in tho insurgents crossing the troeha
and retreating into Havana province,
leaving 40 dead on the field. Among
the dead were found two corpses lying
together, and, indeed, almost locked in
an embrace of death. Tho ono body
was that of a mulatto, a stout man
with gray, crispy, curling hair, and
tho other, that of a slender, dark
haired youth. Doth men wore white
linen duck suits, but underneath these
were other garments bearing their re
spective initials.
Several documents wero found on
them bearing out their identification
Gen. Maeeo and young Gomez.
Among the documents was Maceo's
war dairy end a note signed by the
younger man saving that lie committed
suicide rather than abondon the body
of his general.
The news of the death of Maeeo
created great excitement in Havana
and the loyalists are jubilant believing
that a blow has been struck at the re
bellion that will result in its speedy
suppression. Tho rebel sympathizers
feel very despondent over the loss of
the rebel leader, though a considerable
number of them place little reliance,
on the truth ol the news. Many of
the Cubans profess to believe that the
finding of the letters and the diary was
due to a trick of the insurgents to de
lude the Spanish into tho belief that
Maeeo wa.s killed, while he pursues his
plan of reaching Gomez.
Vntonio Ma'-eo was without question
the most, brilliant figure of the present
revolt in Cuba, as he was in inn iu
years' war 1S0S to 1878. In the great
"raid across the islaud led by Maximo
Gomez in 1S05, Maeeo was his chief
coadjutor, and when Capt.-Gen. Cam
pos had finally receded with his head
quarters to the city of Havana, Maeeo
led a daring raid into the fertile prov
ince of Pinar del Rio, where he devas
tated the great Vuelta Abajo tobacco
district and raised the whole province
in revolt against Spain, increne nas
been ever since, with the Spanish au
thorities in the province practically
overturned. Time and again reports
have been received of las defeat and
rout, his death in action, or his suicide,
always to be refuted by hia later
activities.
