MANNER OF MACEO’S DEATH.
H hat l* Held About It by Various Senator*
and Congressmen.
Washington, Dec. 13.—Little
else was discussed in Washington
to-day among diplomats and poli
ticians beyond the tragic death of
the insurgent general, Maceo. The
sentiment here among all classes
is dec’dedly with the insurgents,
*nd expressions *f sympathy were
heard on all sides for the ultimate
success of the Cuban cause. The
subject of Maceo’s death will be
brought up in Congress to-morrow,
most probably in the Senate,
where several resolutions recogniz
ing Cuban belligerency are pend
ing. It ia less difficult to bring to
the subject np there than in the
House, where the rules restrict ac
tion. Chairman Hitt, of the
House foreign affair committee,
was not in a position to-night, he
jaid, to discuss the subject of
Maceo’s death. The news was too
conflicting and indefinite, and he
was in favor of waiting until the
tails of the circumstances, as-
Congress to call for and act upon
his report.
The matter will doubtless take
this course.

experience of Mr. J. Y. | Schenck,
editor of the Caddo, Ind. Ter.,
Banner, when his little girl, two
years of age was threatened with a
severe attack of croup. He says:
“My wife insisted that I go for the
doctor, but as our family physi
cian was out of town I purchased
a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy, which relieved her im
mediately. I will not be without
it in the future.” 25 and 50 cent

ial channels. Mr. Hitt, because
bis prominent position, is can
tious, and he voices the genera
sentiment of the conservative ele
ment in both parties.
There is in both branches of
Congress a large number who are
ready to recognize Caban belliger
ency, whether the Maceo incident
proves correct or not.
Senator Blanchard, of Louisi
ana, represented this element
when he declared to-night that he
was ready at any time to vote for
a resolution recognizing either the
belligerency of the Cubans, or bet
ter still, their independence.
Senator Platt, of Connecticut,
said that the mendacious charac
ter of the news from Cuba for the
past six months and utter unreli-
ableness, prevented him from ex
pressing any opinion in advanceof
official information confirming
Maoso’s death. “Nobody knows,”
he declared with emphasis,
“whether Maceo is dead or alive;
if dead, how he met his death or
any of the estential details upon
which to base an intelligent opin
ion, and until I do know I will not
speak as to what ought to be done,
or indicate bow I will act.”
Senator Thurston, of Nebraska,
said he would vote to enter the
protest of this Government against
the manner of warfare being car
ried on in Cuba, and Mr. McMil
lan, of Tennessee, and Mr. Berry,
of Kentucky, favored some action
by the Government whhh would
show to the world that the United
States did not stand idly by anJ
by its silence approve of the meth
ods of the Spanish Government
against Cuba.
It is not believed thatja resolu
tion to investigate the manner in
which Maceo met his death will be
offered in Congress, even Cuban
sympathizers do not think such a
matter is within the power of this
(Government, as Maceo was a Span
ish subject, and his death occurred
on Spanish soil, but it will be
within the province of the United
States consul general at Havana
to institute such inquiries And for
