HERNANDEZ SAVED REMAINS OF
INSURGENT LEADER.
FEARFUL FIGHT FOR ITS POSSESSION
When the Ambush Was Discovered Cubans
Went Wild and Wreaked Terrible Ven¬
geance Upon Their Enemies.
A New York Tribune special from
Jacksonville, Fla., says:
A letter was received here on Friday
from Lieutenant Colonel Andre Her¬
nandez, now in command of the de¬
partment of the Cuban army encamped
near Havana, giving the true account
of Maceo’s death and his subsequent
burial As he says that he was in
command of the Cuban detachment
that recovered the body from Major
Cirujeda’s command and afterwards
buried it, his statement should settle
the matter.
The letter was sent to J. A. Huaua,
the Florida representative of the Cu¬
ban junta. It came through the ‘un
derground channel.” It is dated Jan¬
uary 9th, from the “encampment near
Havana.” After extending to Mr.
Huaua thanks for past favors, the let¬
ter goes on:
“It was December 7th that we suf¬
fered a great misfortune in the tragic
death (by ambush) of ottr leader Ma
ceo. This is the greatest misfortune
we have suffered since the beginning
of the war, but it only encourages us
to fight the harder and avenge his
death.
“We were encamped near the fight
that day and heard the firing. Maceo
came across the trocha, unknown to
us, with but forty men. More than
1,500 Spaniards, who had been in¬
formed of bis trip, ambushed him.
He rode into it and was shot at the
first fire.
, ( We heard the firing, and thinking
that some of our friends were attacked
by the Spanish guerillas, started off at
once to their aid, though we had but
400 men. When we had reached the
scene of the slaughter it was most
over, and then we were told that
Maceo was dead, and that the enemy
had his body tied to a horse’s tail and
were taking it off. Our men were per¬
fectly frantic over the report and
begged to be led against the Span¬
iards. We dashed forward with drawn
machetes, and what a fight that was!
The Spaniards met us, and the en
counter was horrible. Our men fought
to kill; only bent on avenging Maceo’s
death. Our trusty and sharp machetes
fell with regularity, and I think we
killed more than two hundred of the
enemy; and, what is more, we had the
consolation of recovering the body of
our beloved leader, Maceo. The Span¬
iard fought hard to regain it, charging
upon us repeatedly, but our chary ma¬
chetes were too much for them, and
they sullenly retreated.
“Our little force suffered terribly.
Our cavalry, which went in eighty
strong, came out with only twenty-two
men, and the infantry suffered almost
in the same proportion. But for qll
that, we were consoled by the fact
that our brave brothers gave up their
lives in a good cause, and to save the
body of our lamented Maceo from the
desecration that the Spaniards would
have inflicted.
' Where Maceo Is Burled.
“We buried the body in a secret
and secure place. Only myself and a
few selected men and officers know the
location. In due time it will be mark¬
ed. If known now, the murderous
Spaniards would try to get it, and
parade it as showing their great
triumph.
“Poor Maceo sleeps in peace, but
his brothers remain to avenge him,
and that they are doing daily. I have
a good many important things to tell
yon in connection with this, hut I
don’t care to put them in this, as I
am not positive that the letter will get
through safely. ”
RAILROADS ARE FIGHTING.
Two Lines Full Out Over an Adjustment
of Bates.
It is learned from reliable sources
that the Atlanta, Knoxville and North¬
ern road and seaboard Air Line liave
had a serious falling out, and the for¬
mer is now completely bottled up, so
far as eastern business is concerned.
It seems that the trouble came up, over
an adjustment of rates.
Arbitration Satisfies Pope.
The Rome correspondent of The
London Chronicle telegraphs that the
pope expressed the utmost satisfaction
upon hearing of the signing of the
Anglo-American hoped arbitration treaty.
He said he had that the papacy
would be the permanent tribunal of
arbitration lor all nations, but was
glad that the principle of arbitration
had been adopted by Great Britain and
America.
Ex-Consul General Dies.

SYCAMORE. IRWIN COUNTY. GA.. FRIDAY, JANUARY 22,1897.
FEARFUL SCOURGE OF INDIA.
Tlie l’lngue Is Advancing. Hut May Not
Reach This Side of the Water.
Cable dispatches from London state
that the eyes of the European world
are now turned toward India, each
day’s intelligence from that stricken
land making it more apparent that the
greatest tragedy in modern history is
being enacted there under the double
course of famine and plague.
The heart of Europe has been touch¬
ed at last, and the universal sympathy
is perhaps more keen because it is now
tingod with apprehension. It would
not be surprising if within a month a
genuine plague panic should spread^
through Christendom.
The great powers show alarm, and
the news comes now that Italy has
summoned an international conference
to meet forthwith at Rome to consider
measures for dealing with the danger.
There is little doubt that the response
of other governments will be favorable,
and all the resources of modern science
will be speedily arrayed against this
hideous foe.
Reliable information about the real
extent of the plague in Bombay and
vicinity is lacking, and regarding the
mortality, it is only said in general
terms that more than half of those at¬
tacked succumb.
The point which most interests Eu¬
ropeans is whether the awful disease
is likely to flourish in northern lati¬
tude if infection should be introduced,
but no evidence is forthcoming yet.
It is argued by medical men, however,
that if the plague was dangerous in
Hong Kong it will find an equally pro¬
lific field in London and Paris so far
as the climate is concerned.
According to Health Officer Doly
there is little cause to fear that the
bubonic plague may reach New York.
The doctor, who has just returned
from a visit to Egypt, says that he is
satisfied from the quarantine supervi¬
sion maintained by the English officials
at Suez that there is little danger of
the disease passing that point.
ONE CENT A MILE FOR MILITARY.
Kates to McKinley Inauguration Lower
Than Those Given Four Years Ago.
The railroads will give lower rates
from fibs section to Washington in
March than they gave when President
Cleveland was inaugurated.
At its meeting held in Atlanta, Ga.,
the past week the passenger rate com¬
mittee authorized for civilians a rate
of one limited first-class fare for the
round trip.
For regular military companies in
uniform and brass bands accompany¬
ing them, twenty-five or more on one
ticket, 1 cent per mile per capita, dis¬
tance traveled, short mileage, with ar
bitraries added.
Tickets limited to continuous pas¬
sage in each direction, with final limit
March 8, 1897, may be sold from all
points on March 1st, 2d and 3d. From
points within a radius of 200 miles of
Washington tickets may be sold for
morning trains March 4, 1897.
Validation at Washington will not
be required.
TRAIN WRECKERS AT WORK.
Engineer Killed and a Postal Clerk Seri¬
ously Hurt.
The through express from St. Louis
on the Iron Mountain and Texas and
Pacific route, due at Dallas at 6:20 a.
m. Sunday, was wrecked Saturday
night at the little station of) Forest,
Engineer Clemons had both legs
broken and sustained other injuries so
severe that he died. The express
messenger is reported as being fatally
injured and a postal route agent as se¬
riously injured. train
The wreck was the work of
wreckers, who had piled cross ties on
the track.
Half a dozen or more passengers are
reported injured, but none fatally. The
engine and three cars, mail, baggage
and express, were thrown down an
embankment, but no passenger coaches
left the track.
SPANIARDS ARE FORTIFYING.
Being Sorely Pressed By Rebels, They
Dare Not Show Themselves.
Passengers by the Olivette which
reached Tampa, Fla., Sunday bring
news of the war situation on the island
of Cuba. Port An Principe and San¬
tiago are practically in the hands of
the Cubans, the Spaniards not daring
to leave their fortresses except under
protection of a strong escort. In fact
the whole eastern portion of the island
is now under the government of the
Cubans.
Weyler permits nothing against his
interest to pass his censorship.
SIXTEEN WERE ROASTED.
Fearful Fatality Attends the Burning: of
Orphans’ Home In Texas.
Later advices received from Dallas,
Tex., regarding the burning of the
Buckner Orphans home state that six¬
teen children were cremated and nine
injured, three of them fatally.
Passenger Train Wrecked.
Passenger train No. 3 of the Texas
and Pacific railroad was wrecked Sat¬
urday night near Springdale, Tex., by
a cross tie placed on the track. En¬
gineer M. L. Clemons sustained inju¬
ries from which he died. Passengers
and trainmen were considerably shaken

“In Union, Strength and Prosperity Abound.”
SAM PALATKA, A POLE, CONFESSES
TO BEING IMPLICATED.
HAD TWO ACCOMPLICES IN CRIME.
■Prisoner Gives Graphic Description of
How the Train Was Wrecked and How
the Dead and Dying: Were Bobbed,
A man who confesses that he wreck¬
ed the Birmingham Mineral railroad
trrin at Cahaba river and sent twenty
eight souls to eternity, has been caught.
His name is Sam Palatka, a Pole,
about forty-five years of age. He says
his home ns near Birmingham and that
he has no family. He is dressed like
an ordinary tramp.
His expression is that of a fiend.
Apparently he would not hesitate to
perpetrate such a deed as the tragedy
with which he is charged.
His alleged guilt is strengthened by
his confession. When arrested a week
ago, with the muzzle of a shotgun at
his head, and with d«5ath threatened if
he did not tell, gave a graphic descrip¬
tion of how he precipitated that
train to its awful fate in the bottom of
the Cahaba. His description of the
place, the scene, and the incidents are
so true that it can scarcely be doubted
he was there.
Palatka, who was not alone in the
work, tells a graphic story of how the
train was wrecked. He says he had
two companions whose names he re¬
fused to divulge. He was the man,
however, who misplaced the rail, and
is directly responsible for the crime.
The Pole and his gang had planned
to rob the Mineral train some time be¬
fore. After a good deal of deliberation
the had selected the Cahaba bridge as
the place most- likely to accomplish
death and destruction, it was their
intention to rob the passengers after
the train had fallen, and escape with
the booty, which they thought would
largely pay them for their trouble.
Therefore the outlaws had held sev
eral secret meetings, deliberating on
their horrible deed and set apart Sun¬
day, December 27th, as the most op¬
portune time.
NEWPORT BANK FAILS.
Officers Explain That the Institution Is
Thoroughly Solvent.
Financial circles of Cincinnati, Cov¬
ington and Newport, Ky., were great¬
ly shocked Monday morning when it
became known that the doors of the
First National bank did not open for
business.
To tbe excited crowds that assembled
in front of the doors the bank officials
sent word that the bank was solvent,
but the lack of ready money forced the
shutting of the doors temporarily.
•Depositors are very angry, and ugly
rumors are afloat, alleging bad man¬
agement.
The capital of the First National is
$ 200 , 000 .
PLEASED WITH THE TREATY.
The Queen Will Congratulate English
Parliament to That Effect.
A cable dispatch from London says:
It is understood that the queen’s speech
at the opening of parliament will be
unprecedentedly brief. It will con¬
gratulate parliament upon the signing
of the arbitration treaty with the
United States.
The legislative proposals are believed
to be few and the important measures
promised will be confined to the relief
of voluntary schools and an employ¬
er’s liability bill, supplemented by
minor measures.
Don’t Want Rates Reduced.
The employes of the Central railroad
system are circulating a petition ad¬
dressed to the Georgia state railway
commission asking that there be no
reduction in railroad rates on fertil¬
izers. Tbe petition is against a re¬
duction, based on the ground that the
employes will suffer by the reduced
wages if the revenues are decreased.
Louisville Bank Fails.
The German National bank at Louis¬
ville, Ky., did not open its doors for
business Monday morning and an¬
nouncement was made that the insti¬
tution was in the hands of Bank Ex¬
aminer James Escott. The capital
stock is $251,500, with surplus of $81,
000. J. M. McKnightis president.
DECIDED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
A Portion of the South Carolina Dispen¬
sary Law Not Legal.
The supreme court of the United
States has decided that portion of the
South Carolina dispensary law for the
inspection of liquors imported into
the state to be unconstitutional.
The effect of the decision of the
court is to sustain the decision of the
South Carolina court, which held that
provision of dispensary law JjRvineB which
prevented a citizen import in or
liquors for his own use to be unepnsti
tutional.
It strikes at the root of the dispen¬
sary law.
THE JUDGES EXONERATED.
Investigation Committee at Atlanta Make
Their Verdict.
The work of the special committee
of investigation of charges against
Judges Reese and Sweat, at Atlanta,
was brought to a close Monday after
noon.
No impeachment proceedings will be
taken against either of them.
After two hours discussion of the
charges, behind closed doors, the com¬
mittee came to a decision shortly after
5 o’clock.
When the case of Judge Reese was
taken up Monday afternoon without a
moment’s hesitation, without a dis¬
senting voice, there was a loud vote
to exonerate him, and all members of
the committee joined in the opinion
that the charges brought against him
were without foundation.
Otherwise with Judge Sweat. While
a formal resolution was passed stating
that sufficient evidence had not been
submitted to authorize a recommenda¬
tion that articles of impeachment be
preferred, several members of the com¬
mittee asked to.be recorded as express¬
ing their opinion that the action of
the judge at Indian Spring was indis¬
creet and improper.
The vote on every point brought be¬
fore the committee was unanimous.
While the committee differed as to
their expression on the incident at In¬
dian Spring, all were together upon
the different questions which came up
The following • resolution • was passed:
Resolved, That the committee finds
that sufficient evidence has not been
submitted to authorize a recommenda
tion that articles of impeachment be
preferred against Judge Joel Sweat, of
the Brunswick circuit.’
It did not take the members of the
committee long to dispose of the charge
against Judge Seaborn Reese. Instead
of taking up the charges by feature
they were bunched and a resolution
was adopted stating that there were
no grounds for impeachment. Judge
Reese was wholly exonerated.
The committee provided that 500
copies of the evidence in the case be
printed and a copy be sent to each
clmtE adjourned
thanks were tendered Hon. T. B.
Felder for the masterly manner in
which he presided.
A 9 o’clock on the morning of Feb¬
ruary 3d the committee will meet just
before the legislature for the purpose
of preparing a resolution to provide
for funds for defraying expenses of the
committee.
Senator Carter has fought his fight
fully. Without the assistance of coun¬
sel, depending upon his own power
for bringing out evidence except what
aid was given by members of the com¬
mittee, he has made a hard contest.
It is not his fault that facts have not
been brought out to warrant further
investigation upon the part of the gen¬
eral assembly. It is generally ac¬
knowledge that he has won warm ad¬
miration from his friends and higher
respect from his enemies.
EXPRESS PACKAGE MISSING.
Jt Contained Four Thousand Hollars.
Boute Agent Arrested.
Four thousand dollars, shipped by
the Bank of Winder, at Winder, Ga.,
a station on the Seaboard Air Line, to
the Lowry Banking company, of At¬
lanta, Ga., was stolen Saturday from a
Southern express car, between Winder
and Social Circle, on the Georgia rail¬
road.
A. L. Butts, a young man, not much
over 21 years of age, who had been
running between Winder and Social
Circle but a week, has been placed un¬
der arrest, charged with the theft.
He maintains his innocence and sim¬
ply says he is not able to account for
the disappearance of the money.
When Social Circle was reached and
the time oame for the transfer of the
express packages, including the $4,000
from the Bank of Winder, Mr. Butts
is said to have discovered that the pack¬
age was missing. He reported the loss
immediately, and when questioned
about the matter said nothing further
than that he could not explain the dis¬
appearance and knew nothing of it.
NEW RAILROAD A CERTAINTY,

The Welch Principality.
It is related that an English Lord
once said to his guests: “I have a man¬
sion in Wales which I have never seen,
but which I am tokl is very fine. Every
clay dinner for twelve is set there and
the carriage drawn ujj at the door in
case I should arrive.” This may illus¬
trate, says a Scotch writer in Lippin
cott’s, the relation of Wales to the
average Englishman, for, although al¬
most all the Welsh towns are merely a
ten-hour ride from London, there is,
perhaps, no other country in the world
lying so close to the center of civiliza¬
tion of which so little is known to the
outside world. Bookstores may load
their shelves with volumes on 'all sub¬
jects, but few books will be found
among them on this quaint, quiet and
perhaps most picturesque of all coun¬
tries. The fact is, Wales is not much
visited, is lightly spoken of, and little
read about—not having produced a
Walter Scott—and perhaps these cir¬
cumstances have done much to pre¬
serve the place in its typical state, and
enabled the people to cling to old-time
superstitions, customs and language
and to present to a visitor a unique and
refreshing flavor wholly its own.
A Kansas Farmer's Trick.
A fact well known to farmers is that
the rows of grains on an ear of corn is
always even in number. There may be
eight, ten, twelve, fourteen or sixteen
rows, but never .nine, eleven, thirteen
or fifteen. This fact and the knowl¬
edge of it cost several farmers very
dearly. The Atchison Champion says
that a farmer who raises a small crop
of corn, and who has always been re¬
garded as of rather weak intellect, con¬
cluded that -he saw a chance to make
some bets. Early in the season he care¬
fully scraped from a dozen ears of
com just formed one of the rows. The
corn ripened and the remaining rows
grew together, so as to hide the evi¬
dence of the one removed having
existed. Then the farmer offered to bet
either fhat the others could not or that
he could find ears of corn with odd
rows. He had no trouble in getting
some very good bets on the latter prop¬
osition. but, of course, none on The
first. He then found the cars he bad
fixed, and made as much money on
the dozen ears as he did on the entire
crop of corn. Now, any suggestion of
corn with odd rows is provocation for
a fight in that neighborhood.
