( Now York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) The after noon papers nro out with extras seeming to confirm the report of the death of ( Jen- cral Antonio Macco. The rumor , which first reached Havana late last night , waa ' , hat the rebel Inadcr , having left Plnar del hlo , province , was Hllcd In Havnir. prov ince yesterday In an engagement with the Spanish troops under Major Glrujeda , on the Matlldo estate , near Punta Ilrava. When attacked by Glrujeda's llf.le col umn of .150 Infantry and 123 cavalry , Gen eral Mnceo , with from 3,000 to 4,000 follow ers occupied positions under the cover of n stone fence. Macco was driven from thcso positions by a brilliant Spanish bayonet charge. The Insurgents vainly attempted to makn new stands. Successive efforts to use their macheltcs were each tlmo par ried , until finally , upon the adjoining estate of San Claudlo , they broke In disorder. The Insurgents abandoned more than forty dead on the field , but carried away many wounded. The Spanish loss Is given as three privates killed and four lieutenants , n sergeant nnd twenty-six privates wounded. Only after Major Glrujeda had returned to Punta Hra\a did It become clear to him that Maceo had been killed. Documents and articles taken by the Spanish troops from the bodlcj of the enemy In n hasty rcconnoltcr of the field seem to confirm the story that among the dead was a mulatto answering to the description of General Macco. The clothing Is marked "A. M. " The gold ring on the finger Is Inscribed "Antonio y Maria. " The dead man had n revolver with a pearl handle and n pocket diary of Mncco's recent operations , detail ing minutely his movements since he left El Iloblc In Plnnr del Illo , November 24. showing that after being wounded slightly In a skirmish at Vejerano December 3 Macco , wltli fifteen followers , crossed the trocha on the -tth between Gimnajay and Marlcl , afterward Joining on this side of the military line the bands of the local leaders , Vasquez Sartorlim and Sanchez , assuming superior command of the same. Ilesldo the body believed to bo that of Maceo was another , supposed from documents found upon It to bo Maximo Gomez's son , Fran cisco. Major Glrujeda arrived In Havana this MAIUiO MAS OHOSSHI1 TIIK THOCIIA. Story Current In Iliiviiiin llefore the Hi-port of HlH Dentil. HAVANA. Dec. 8. It Is now scml-ofllclally admitted that Antonio Maceo , the Insurgent leader , passed the military line of Plnar del Illo on Friday last near Marlcl , the port at Its northern extremity. Ho was accompanied by the son o * Maximo Gomez. The exact whereabouts of General Wey ler Is not known , but ho Is believed to bo hunting for Macco In the mountains In the extreme eastern part of Plnar del Illo , while the Insurgent chlof has seemingly doubled on hla tracks , turned the flank oil the Span ish general nnd passed In his rear In the direction of this city , crossing the military line at will and possibly being by this time In the vicinity of the capital of Cuba. K Maximo ( Jomex has carried out the plan attributed to him , that of pushing westward to the support of Mnceo , a Junction of the two main bodies of the Insurgents may be expected shortly. Nothing appears to be Inoun ; of the strength of Macco's force in this province. In fact It was not until thi' news wan being passed from person to person in the streets that the authorities would give a half-hearted admission of the fact that Macco bad crossed the military line. This , It Is believed will alter the whole situation and Important events may occur within a short time. There is no doubt that the Insurgents have recently In creased In number about the capital. The stray bands of twenty to thirty bandits met by the Spanish troops have now swollen to the proportion of Insurgent forces of 20,000 to10,000. . It Bcema to bo admlUed nnd believed that Macco will strlko before "Weylcr can hurry back from Plnardel Itlo. Indeed , It Is currently reported that the captain general has been wounded In an engagement with the Insurgents before the latter crossed the military line and that lie may not bo able to return here except as a prisoner of the Cubans. The author ities , naturally , ore doing all In their power to minimize the crossing of the trocha by Macco and Intimate that ho Is. as usual , ac cording to the Spanish , running away from them. This does not * alter the fact that he lias escaped the hunter and that the hunter may find difficulty In getting home. The friends of the Insurgents hero are overjoyed nt the new turn taken In the campaign and are boasting that Maceo and Gomez will noon bo knocking at the gates ot Havana. To this the Spanish officials simply eay "Walt and see ; the time Is not yet. " Hut there Is no denying that the supporters of Spain hero today are looking much crest fallen and downcast. Even a defeat nt the hands of the Insurgents , It U admitted , would Imvo been better than the humiliation which the Spanish troops have sniftered In being so skillfully out-maneuvered by the insurgents , General Fulgcra yesterday left the plan tation of Santa Amelia , this province , mov ing In the direction of Platano. Ho met the advance guard of an Insurgent force at Itlo Kendo , opened fire on It nnd later cap tured the heights of Morales Anil and Vol cano where , however , the troops mot a force oft,0H ( ) Insurgents awaiting them. The latter promptly attacked the Spaniards , but were repulsed by a brilliant charge of the cavalry of the Spanish. The rout of the enemy was completed by n charge of the Spanish. The Insurgents were dislodged after thlrty-nlno shells had been fired Into their position nnd sixty-nine men killed. Of the Spaniards , Lieutenant Colonel Miguel Agulo Currlon was Killed nml one lieutenant and twenty-four privates were wounded. Major Clrcujedo , being Informed that a strong force of Insurgents was near Punta Ilrava nnd hearing the sound of firing In that direction , moved his column toward Zugastl and Ilnyo Colorado , where the enemy was also reported In force. Piusulng a range of mountains the Spanish commander went In the direction of San Pedro and there found a body of about 2.000 Insurgents occupying a strong position behind stone walls. Thr troops dislodged the Insurgents , hut night approaching the column returned 'to Punta Ilrava , The Insurgents had forty men killed and many horses killed. The troops lost three men and had two lieutenants and twenty-eight noldlcrs wounded. Valencia , an Important Insurgent leader , was killed yesterday In the engagement near San Pedro.

( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) Surprise min gled with displeasure Is the first Impression caused In .Madrid political circles by Presi dent Cleveland's mcstage.

The World today publishes the following views of prominent Cubans on the president's message : I'ledel Plerot of tlio .Tuntn The message Is an enigma anil puzzle. I should have a far higher regard for Mr. Cleveland had he simply nnnounccil that the United States government was oppored to the ( "inse of Cuban liberty and sympathized with Spain's effort to rrush the revolution. The mes sage will not make a parth-lo of difference ono way or the other , so far as the revo lution Is concerned. If the soldiers of Gomez and Macen realize that the measure means that the United States will not rnlse a linger to stop Weylcr's butcheries they will light with thru terrible energy born of despair. Cleveland's tnlk nboiit autonomy only .shows how little he really knowH of the real Htate of affairs. The Idea of autonomy Is dnid. Scarcely any one In Cuba , even among the Spanish them selves , consider It seriously. The auton omist party went to plcees months ago. For us now there are left only the two alternatives independence or extermina tion. tion..M .M mi net A. Heclo de Morales I resltrncd my position IIH a lender of the reformist party , which Is similar In its alms to the autonomist , because I became convinced that absolute Independence' Is all that can save Cuba. Dr. Henry O. Zayas The president's mes sage Is ileeldedly unsatisfactory to both sides. The Cubans Imvo n right to e.\pect aiore , but the consolation remains that ho treats Spain with the Kcorn which she de serves for her weak and cruel rule. Toward the end the president promises that at Home future time his attitude will bo clearly clc- 1111011. Let us hope that ho will act In ne- cordanco with the expressed wish of the American people.

There has been a feeling of disappointment hero that Cleve land could not ecu lilo way to recognize Cuban belligerents , for Mexican sympathy Is undoubtedly with them , and this country and most of Uio I-at In Americans arc , with the possible exception of Chill , roaJy to fol'ow the lead of the great republic , and today U Is paid hero that McKlnlcy will take a more generous attitude. The Mexican Herald rays Provident Cleve land's attitude toward Cuba Is another Instance of letting "I dare not" wait upon "I would. " He shows sympathy for the Cuban pattlots , but agrees that Uey I a/c ata-.doncd even the protcnco of government In these portions of ) the Island that they occupy , and ho contends that the Ineffective pemblanco of authority kept by Captain General Weyler Is all there Is of a legal and constituted government In Cuba. The commercial rea son for "non-recognition of the Cubai : Is shown In his statement that almost $ . " 0.- 000,000 of American capital Is Invested an the Island which would be Jeopardized by according belligerent rights to the Cubans , for , as matters .itand today , losses aus- talncd by American Investors In Cuba con stitute valid claims against Spain. In a word , there Is a gordlon knot Within reach of the American president , and he will cut It. Ho Is plainly controlled by the advice of his eccretary of state , Mr. Olney , who , as n calculating lawyer , hae advised him tea a stiff and unsympathetic attitude toward the Armenians. * How much weight Cuban estate holding Interests of New England has had In the councils of the government at Wash ington ono may easily discern , but the pres ident's message will suit that restricted and comfortable group who prefer dollars to the recognition of Cuban belligerency.

The Cologne Gazette , discussing President Cleveland's mcanago , says : "President Cleveland has not allowed himself to bo carried away by the prevailing opinions of Americans.

Ileforo there Is a change of gov ernment In the United States , pcrh.ir * with this favorable situation , there may bo an agreement reached which will pacify Cuba , " PARIS , Dec. 8. The Temps says that Prcs- Ideal Cleveland worthily crowns his Internal administration "which bore the stamp of lioncsty. " and adds : "The reference to Cuba , however , will satisfy neither aldo and wo doubt the cfiicacy of his offer to guarantee the autonomy of Cuba. Spain will not think of agreeing to an arrangement making the United States the RovcrolKii rower In Cuba whllo the rebels want Independence or Amer ican annexation. President Cleveland risks displeasing everybody. The Venezuelan ar rangement , however , giving unexpected ex tension to Monroeism , la a triumph for Pres ident Cleveland. " The Journal des Dcbats nays : "Tho mou- 3go Is an net of courage and Spain cm only bo grateful to President Cleveland fct giving her another lease of tranquillity In order to conquer the rebellion. It Indicate * clearly that President Cleveland will volt any proportion for the recognition of the' Cubann during his term of olllce. " LONDON , Dec. 8. All the newt-papers till * morning have editorials on President Clave- land's mu'-uago. Moil of them regard the meseago a ono of rather minor Importance except o far us It concerns the Cubin quca * lion , to which pbaio the bulk of the- com ment U devoted , The Dally News , the lib' oral orein , cays of the Cuban portion of the message : "President Clcvelnndfs argument Is clear enough that no country POJSCVWP thd right to foster a perpetual source of trouble and that Spain must either grant nutanomv or Bell. Spain , hownvor , will probably re- fitwo to do anything of the kind. Her prn- vciblal prldo will bo much hurt by America's Interference.

We hope tOic will not prevail , became autonomy 1 ? best for Cuba and best tor Spain. " The editorial In the Times says : "The tone and spirit ot the meK Ke are worthy of nil praise. It Is n pity the moderation and bal ance of mind which Mr. Cleveland has Just displayed were not more cOKSilcuoiiD last year when ho startled two continents by menace of war. If the Venezuelan question had been handled as Mr. Cleveland now handles the Cnb.in question ho might have averted the disruption of the democracy and have kept llryan nnd Ilrynnlsm In their pre vious obscurity. The present mcpsigo gives the soundest advice In the met * unexceptional language , nor can the least complaint bo made of the chirncter of the warning ad- drcosed to Spain. It la not Improbable that Spain will take offence , but clearly Mr. Cleveland Is actuated by friendly feelings and Spain will do well to acquiesce ; other wise , the way will bo clear for the Influence represented by Mr. Call's resolution In the senate yesterday. If Spain clot-ed now with Mr. Cleveland's overtures It would bo dim- cult for the McKlnley administration to steer a new course. " The Chronicle , liberal , In common with other papers , congratulates both countries on the prospect of the adoption of a general arbitration treaty. H says : "It Is clear that the Cleveland administration means to con clude the great reform ' before resigning office. " On the proposed Cuban settlement , the Chronicle eays : "We believe the time has pawed when the Cuban Insurgents will accept nny solution placing Spanish olllclnls over them , even nohilnnlly. There Is no mistake , however , nbout the wnrnlng Presi dent Cleveland addressee to Spain nnd Spanish rtatcemen should bo aware that the democratic government 'Is ' far more pacific and conservative In Us foreign policy than the coming republican government Is likely to be. Spain has to face a humiliating dilemma , but she could not fight the United States for twenty-four hours. Therefore she should sell Cuba quickly , but lie would be no friend of the United States who would advise her to buy Cuba. " The Standard , conservative , twyo It thinks that Spain had better accept Mr. Cleveland's friendly counsel , ns Mr. McKlnley Is not likely to bo less exacting than Mr. Clove- land. "The Monroe dostrlne , " eays the Standard , "la making great strides. H Is n large , bold policy , not quite free from dan ger. Fortunately , as fnr as' England lo con cerned , the prospect of the arbitration treaty makes the risks of trouble small. Alto gether It Is n dignified and able message. The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon , com menting upon President Cleveland's mes sage to congress , says : "There la nothing In the message unsatisfactory no Great Britain so far as Cuba. Is concerned. President Cleveland Is neither diplomatic nor political. His language will please , neither Spain nor the Insurgents. " The Globe sees In Uie > message "Monroe Ism thrustlnc Itself forward In the Game menacing fashion , " and doubts If McKlnley will "be grateful to his predecessor for be queathing the task of bullying Spain. " The St. James Gazette ' contrasts the "polite , cautious tone ot the naensngo" with the "Venezuelan message 'of ri year ago on a similar topic. " and Says ! "The condition In Cubaundoubtedly glvts the United States the right to call upon .Spain to enforce her authority speedily o-acknowledge that her Inability to suppress anarchy has deprived her of her right to cpusldcred as govern ' Ing.'tho Island.

D. , Dee. S. ( Special. ) Fri day night the most exciting Incidents ot the Into unpleasantness , known as an elec tion. In this state closed. There never has been since the organization of the state the Intense Interest that was taken In the ac tion of the state canvassing board , as an other election so close ns the last one Is more than unlikely again. The populists came hero suspicious of every act of the board , and It had been heralded over the state by them that the board would take any opportunity which It might find In the returns to "steal the state. " With this feeling they were on the watch at every moment for the action of the board which was to glvo verification to their nasortlons , and some of them left hero with the firm belief that all their pre dictions would have been fulfilled had they not been watchful and wary. Instead of any straining of technicalities to glvo to the republican candidates an ad vantage they found an unriuallfied spirit of fairness on the part of the board , and If ( hero was anything In the way of strain ing technicalities It was all done In thn effort to secure a full count of all the votes east In the state and to secure for those who had received n majority of nil the votes cast the certificates to which they are entitled , and as the counties which sent In the most defective returns were populist they themselves received the benefit. Every adjournment of the board was looked upon as an effort to fix up a deal , nml so declared by many of them. Hut the deal at no time developed or showed any Indication of so doing. The most exciting tlmo of the whole ses sion was after the Rtato canvassing board had declared the purported returns from Lawrence , Butte and the un organized counties attached to Unite to bo "no returns" at nil by their failure to bear the official seal of the auditor , and their Instruction to the secretary of state to secure properly certified returns from these counties , for the completion of the canvass at the recess meeting , December 17. The "returns" from these counties on the national ticket were In the same shape as on the state ticket , and It was not be lieved that the board for the canvass of the returns on national officers had the power to adjourn , which Is specifically granted to thu board of state canvassers. With this view of the matter , the board to canvass the national returns hav ing before It the precedent of the state board , It waa believed by many that the board would In the nature of the case bo compelled to count the returns In their possession and IFBUO certificates accord ingly. Such action would of necessity glvo the certificates to the republicans , and when the following resolution was presented from the governor and read It began to lookns If buch would bo the action of the board : STOOD ON THE FIGURES. "It Is resolved by the governor and sec retary of state of South Dakota , acting ns canvassers of the state of South Da kota , to open the returns and ascertain the number of votes given at the November election , A. IX 1890 , for the offices of mem bers of congress and for electors of presi dent and vlco president of the United States , that the returns of votes from all the counties of llio state of South Dakota , as opened by us , the said canvassers , are valid and legal and properly authenticated , with the exception of the counties of Law rence , nutto and unorganized territory at tached to llutte , and wo find that the pre tended returns of votes from said excoptcd counties arc not properly authenticated , nor are they legal or valid returns , nor such returns as can bo considered by us or can vassed as the returns from said counties , and we refuse to consider or canvass said pretended returns from said cxccpted coun ties. ties."Wo further find and ascertain that the number of votes from , said counties so can vassed for members of congress are as fol lows : Robert J. Gamble , 38.410 ; Coo I. Crawford , 38.040 ; John E. Kelly , 37,857 ; Freeman Knowles. 37,989 ; M. D. Alexander , j 049 ; K. Lewis , CSS. "For electors for prealdent and vice presi dent of the United States : Illchard J. Wood , 28.533 ; Richard M. 'Slocum , 38,478 ; John L. Turner , 38.494 ; Thomas D. Ed wards , 38,407 ; Henry P.

To those not acquainted' with the Intention of the canvassers , and tlicw were nearly everyone ono In the room , the reading of this reEolu- lion Indicated that the board had decided that no further tlmo could bo taken by the board , and that certificates would bo Issued to those who were shown In the resolution to have received a majority of the votes. Immediately following .tho reading of the resolution Governor Sheldon explained that whllo the figures given In the resolution were the totals of the votes which had been regu larly returned to the board , and that It was the opinion of many attorneys that the board had no power to adjourn to a future date and recuro properly authenticated returns from the counties mentioned , that the board had looked the matter up thoroughly for It self and that there wau no question In Its mind as to Its right to take such action , a : * , ! that the board would bo adjourned to De cember 17 , the date of the meeting of the other board , and would then canvass the returns - turns from thoio counties , to which the sec- rotary"of stito would In the meantlmo fond a special messenger to twcuro the proper au thentication cf the volet ) cast In them ; that It was neither the wlPh nor the Intention of the board to take advantage of the Irregulari ties and that It would only Issue certificates of election to HIOKO who were shown to have the highest number of votes on a can- c all the votoa cat In the ulalo. - DEMANDS OP THE 1'01'S. Following thla statement on the part of the governor , Attorney Stewart , for the re publican candidates , demanded certificates for his clients , as they were shown to have majorities on the returns which had been canvassed by the hoard , which demand was refused , Following this demand Melvln Grlgsby , for the populist candidates , inado a demand for certificates for the parties shown to have the highest number of votes on the abstract list which had been made of the canvass , and which contained the figures from the counties In dispute , which was also rcfuned , The board then adjourned from day to day until December 17 , A question has been raised as to whether nny of the amendracntu to the constitution presented to the people at the late election have been carried. All received a majority of the vote * cast on the question submitted , but section 1 of chapter Ixxxvl , laws of 1S95 , provides that whenever a proposed amendment to the constitution shall be printed on'each ticket of the ballot , etc. An thu amendments were all printed on a sep arate ticket to thcmaulvw and did not ap pear on each ticket of the ballot , this , Auditor - tor Hippie holds , would Invalidate- all ot [ hum. The question will undoubtedly be trstcd on this point and means inoro woih for the courts. Hti'iiiiilioiil Ualilc for Tlicftx.

( Special. ) A meeting of the settlers on the SIsseton reservation will be held December 19 , for the purpose of deciding upon the beat means for pushing the free homes bill , which Is now pending In congress. When the SIsse ton reservation was opened the price of the land was fixed at $2.50 per acre. The set tlers will strive to have the land brought under the old homestead law. The 11,000- 000 acres ceded by the Sioux Indiana and opened to settlement In IS'JO Is In a similar condition. Settlers on the Sioux lands who made entry during the first three years after the opening of the reservation nro re quired to pay $1.25 per acre , for land taken during the follpwlng two years 75 cents per acre , and for all lands taken subsequent to the five years , 50 cents per acre. Recently the secretary of the Interior ruled that In addition to these amounts settlers must pay nn addltlornl $1.25 per acre. If the free homes bill becomes n law , settlers , upon making final proof , would bo required to pay only the regular land office commissions , amounting to about $5.50. Should congress pass the bill , settlers In every land district In South Dakota , and In the O'Neill ( Neb. ) district will be greatly benefited , and It would result In thousands of acres being filed tin and cultivated that now remain Idle and un inhabited.

The character of the young man being somewhat unsavory , tlio attentions offered were much opposed l > y the fntner and lint coolly received by the daugh ter.
