LONDON , Dec. 11 ! . ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) A rcmark-
nblo movement has begun In Ireland , with
the object of obtaining a revision of the
financial relations between that country and
Great Ilrltaln In accordance with a re
port of the recent royal commlfflion , the
unionists and the nationalists arc combin
ing In the agitation. A leading Irish tory
paper predicts this week that the Irish rep
resentatives will present a solid front to
the British government on this question.
\ Ireland now pays 2,250,000 ( $11,250,000) ) a
year more- than In fairness she should , and
the aim of this new Irish commission Is to
obtain not only an Immediate reduction of
the Irish contribution , but the restitution
of at lenst some part of the money unfairly
extorted from her wince the union.
The death In prison of ICast , ono of the
four defendants In the
Russell-Scott crim
inal libel suit. Is likely to have an Impor
tant effect on the rffliilt of the trial. Lady
Scott now declares that she rolled chiefly
on Kmto justify the abominable accusa
tions she made against her son-in-law , and
that his death greatly weakens her case.
Lady Scott herself Is lying III with a com
plication of bronchitis and threatened brain
fovrr. the ordeal of the trial and Its serious
poewlbllltlca Tor her having undermined her
health. In the first days of his Illness Kast
dictated a statement concerning the charges
against Earl Russell , which will be produced
on the resumption of the trial after Christ
mas , This statement Is reported to be a
retraction , but ns It remains In the hands
of the prison authorities , nothing authentic
ctn be ascertained respecting Its nature.
If It is a retraction , It will bring the suit
to a sudden and sensational end.
STEAD'S EXPOSE- DISAPPOINTMENT.
Although W. T. Stead's promised cxpos-
nro of the Inside official history of the
Jameson raid proves disappointing. It has
utVAn a.l.l t. alr < mHth.loho - .inplolni--tliat
Cecil nhodcs had good grounds for believ
ing that the Transvaal enterprise , if suc
cessful , would not bo dtetatcsful to the
llrlttsh government. Mr. Stead was pre
vented from publishing proofs of this In
his possession , but he now asserts that evi
dence will bo produced before a Parlia
mentary committee at the next session ,
proving to a demonstration that though
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain did not
countenance the actual raid ho conveniently
winked nt the arrangements for assembling
Dr. Jameson's force on the Iloor frontier.
If this accusation were sustained It would
mean Impeachment for Chamberlain , but
It Is doubted if
so singularly straight a
man would place himself In so compromis
ing a position. Sir John Wllloughby and
other ofllccrs under Jameson , who were
tried with him , will testify in support of
these allegations before the committee.
Rhodes and Jameson nlfo will bo on the
witness stand.
The reported opposition In Venezuela
r
to the arbitration arrangement Is not re
garded hero as hcrlous as long as the United
States government gives no countenance to
It. The Chronicle suggests that the Vene
zuelan Irrcconellnbles probably hope to use
thu opposition of the treaty as a lever with
which to upset President Crespo. There Is
n practically unanimous feeling among 13n-
Kllah politicians that the Urltlsh govern
ment linn grino to the utmost limit In the
concessions In regard to Venezuela. Lord
Salisbury would get a solid backing In re-
fUKlng to accede to any further demand by
Venezuela.
SYMPATHY FOR SPAIN FALLS.
Nothing that Spaniards have done
throughout the Cuban trouble has BO thor
oughly alienated Englluh sympathy from
them as their unmanly demonstrations of
delight over the reported death of General
Maceo. The cynical brutality with which
oven the Spanish ollleers have recited the
revolting details of Ills murder by one of
their soldiers ciua ; < ; od In looting corpses ,
nnd the statement made apparently with
guiitn , thr.t the bodies of Maceo and young
Gomez wcro tied to horses' tails and
ilrai-'ged for miles , have convoyc'd to the
English mind a vivid Idea of the barbarous
spirit which actuated .Spaniards on the raid
toward the Ci.lians. Hitherto thu reports of
Spanish savagery linvo bcon received skep
tically , but the Spaniards have now shown
themselves before Iho world In a worse light
than that in which their enemies had
pnllltcd thtfin. 11ALLARD SMITH.

LONDON. Dec. 12. The text of the Rus
sian-Chinese treaty , reproduced hero from the
North China Dally News , hns aroused consid
erable discussion on all sldca and It Is re
garded as a matter ot the greatest Impor
tance. Some of the newspapers refuse to
believe U authentic , ae It would be such a
victory for Russian diplomacy. The Specta
tor today , however , believes It to ho exact
and says : "No forger would have tried so
elaborately to protect the pride of China.
While securing every Russian object nothing
Is ceded openly , but Ru sla la permitted to
run a railway to Kyrln and Is expressly au
thorised to keep all the troops she pleases to
protect the Manchurlan stations , and she is
also to fortify Port Arthur for China. No
glass Is required to Interpret phrases like
tlii-so , which completely Invests Russia with
military control of Manchuria and the Llao
Tung peninsula. " Continuing , the Spectator
says It thinks the arrangement threatens
Japan more than Great Urltaln , "which can
resist when her commercial rights are threat
ened. "
Sir Charles Dilkc , In a speech , has ex
pressed the opinion that the treaty will place
northern China at the feet of Rucsla and
that It Is wholly Inconsistent with the promi
ses which China made to Kngland , when she
left Port Wilton. He favored the reoccupation
pation of that fort.
Sir Arthur 11. Forwood , member of Parlia
ment for tlio Southwest division of I.ancu-
ohirc , conservative. In a speech yesterday
evening , i ld that probably China would bc-
como to Russia what India was to Eneland
and that Kngllsh trade In China will bo MI-
perscJcd by Russian manufactures. In re
gard to the doubts expressed aa to the actual
completion of the treaty , the rpcakcr ojld
ho happened to know that Russian govern
ment enclncors were now In Minchurla
studying the proposed railway.
The French government , apparently , has
at length decided to abolish the penal es
tablishment In New Caledonia , which the
Australians have long demanded. The con
victs will bo sent to Madagascar Instead.
OLD STONRS I'ULLBD DOWN.
Great Indignation prevails In antiquarian
circles at the news that a number of Druld-
Ical remains nt Dartmoor have been de
stroyed , notably n stone avenue aud several
hut circles on Shcrburton common. It ap
pears that the rural council contractors
broke up the ruins In order to utilize the
pieces of stone In mending the roads.

The announcement that a foreign parcels

recent act of the congress of the United
States Is warmly received here ; but , there
are unpleasant remarks on the alleged nar
rowness of the policy of confining the trans
nitratou of the parcels to American ves
sels. The Dally Telegraph claims to
see In this a characteristic example of "a
narrow protectionist spirit , " but exprcsecc.

'Sir 'Edward L'awson , the principal pro
prietor of the Dally Telegraph , and a large
and distinguished shooting party met the
prince of Wales at Sir Edward's country
place , Hallbarn , licaconsfleld , Ilucklngham-
shlre , during the past three days. The
party included Daron Russell of Killowcn ,
Sir Henry Irving , Sir Edwin Arnold , Sir
Frank Lockwood , Mr. William Waldorf
Astor nnd the duke of Devonshire.
The statement made by Sir Thomas Suth
erland , chairman of the Peninsula and Orien
tal Steam Navigation company , to the stock
holders of that concern , that trade with the
port of London Is waning , has attracted at
tention und is generally endorsed In shipping
and mercantile circles. London is declared
to be still the leading port of the world , but
It Is losing Its prcstlgo as a distributing
center nnd goods are being taken direct to
continental ports. The two chief reasons
given are the exorbitant dock charges and
the doarnrss of London labor.
RAILROAD STRIKE AVERTED.
The trouble with the Northwestern rail
road was partly settled yesterday by the
Intervention ot the Hoard of Trade. The
Northwestern company employes have been
agitating for Improved conditions , hinting
at n strike which would paralyze Christmas
traffic unless their demands wcro con
ceded. The railway authorities , how
ever , took the bull by the hornet.
After they bad engaged mimbero of
reliable men they dismissed wver.il of
the moat dlsconted , who admitted they
would strike if called out by the union.
.This caused a general outcry from all the
Northwestern employes , and the situation
became critical until the railway chief sub
mitted the matter to the Board of Trade
which arranged an amicable settle
ment Involving the reinstatement of
the dismissed men and the recog
nition of their uulon , which the company
has hitherto ignored. The men claim to
have won the victory , but the question of
the Improvement of their lot U still unset
tled. Especial Interest and Importance Is
attached to the arbitrary attitude of the
railroad ofllclals , and their subsequent
change of front , owing to the personnel of
the company's stockholders , which Includes
the marquis of Salisbury , Lord Rosebery ,
the duke of Norfolk , and other prominent
people. _

LONDON , Dec. 12. With nillil and rainy
weather during the imst week , London has
been at Its worst , and already the exit from
the metropolis of distinguished people Intent
upon enjoying their Christmas holidays Is
very general. The queen will leave Windsor
castle for Osborno next 'Friday ' , where she
will receive u family party during the
Christmas holidays. The party will consist
of the duke and duchess of Connaught and
their children , Princess Loulso and the mar
quis of Lome and the duchess of Albany and
her children. There are to bo no festivities
of any kind at Oshorno during the winter
residence of the court. Mr. and Mrs. George
N. Curzon were among the queen's guests at
Windsor during the week.
1'rlnco Charles of Denmark and his wife ,
Princess Maud of Wales , are going to Copen
hagen at the end of the coming week for the
first time since their wedding. The delay
of Prince Charles In bringing his wife home
has caused a great deal of dissatisfaction In
Denmark and has aroused much comment , It
being even Htated that the princess refused
to leave her own country. A suite of twcnty-
flvo rooms has been decorated and furnished
for their reception In the Immense palace
near Copenhagen of their uncle , the king of
Greece.
The fat cattle show at the Agricultural
hall , Islington , has been nn unusual success.
There were 674 entries , exclusive of poul
try , and the queen , the prince of Wales , Lord
Itoscbery and the duke of York were big
winners.
STEVENSON SCOTT'S SUCCESSOR.
At n meeting held In Edinburgh on Thurs
day to promote a memorial to the late Hobcrt
Louis Stevenson , Lord Hosebery presiding ,
hU lordship alluded to Stevenson as the suc-
cesor of Sir Walter Scott , and said that ho
desired to see a memorial that testified to
Stevenson's passion for Scotland.
The first big sealskin solo of the season
occurred on Wednesday. Although the offer-
JriKO'Wuroi.far.liuluw.Uia usualiuimbcr.bclllC _
only UO.OOO pelts , there was .a great decline ,
averaging 20 per cent , In prices. The reason
given for this Is that the trade In America
has not yet recovered from the turmoil of
the election and that there was scarcely a
buyer or a commission from that country on
Wednesday for the really high grade skins
which they generally get at any cost.
In view of the belief that Hev. George F.
Pentecost , the American evengcllst , will
probably accept the call to New York , his

THEATRICAL GOSSIP.
There was a first performance at a mati
nee at the Court theater on Tuesday of
Hurst's comedy , "A Woman's World , " which
turned out to be a weak and conventional
production. .
The "Circus Girl , " produced on Saturday
last at the Gaiety , has been the chief
theatrical attraction of the week , and prom
ises to be a great success. The music Is
eatchy and the topical songs arc bright
and pointed.
Sir Henry Irving has at last definitely
decided upon the cast of "Richard III"
which will be produced next Saturday night.
Sir Henry will adhere strictly to the original
text nnd-there will bo no fusion of the com
monly accepted Collay Gibber version.
The Incidental music which Edward Ger
man had expressly composed for Gcorpo
Alexander's revival of "As You Like It" has
been a feature of the comedy.
There will bo a decided change In the
cast of "Tho Gay Parislenne" net : week ,
December 14. The play has now been run
ning for eight months at the Duke of York's
theater and the business Is still very large.
There Is seine talk that Mrs. Patrick

ment of Messrs Williamson and Mut > grovc.
Gcorgo Edwards Informs the Associated
press that as yet he has not decided upon
the personnel of the company with which
next season ho will tour America. It ban
not been determined as to the nature of

S. C. Lchmann , the fitmoiJB Cambridge
oarsman , who la coaching the Harvard crew ,
sends an Interesting letter to the Dally
News describing the Harvard-Pennsylvania
foot ball game , which ho Bayjt Is the first
American game ho over-saw. Mr. Lehmann
says of the game that It vm ono of the most
stirring and Invlgoratlngi experiences that
has ever fallen to his lot. He had hoard
much , ho continued , of tjio roughness nnd
brutality of the American Same , but he never
saw a finer game played' ' with a manlier
spirit. ' |
"Foot ball , " the Cambridge man says ,
"cannot he n gentle gamp , ami a milksop
has no part In It cither In England or In
America. Hut the game I saw , though
violent and rough , was never brutal. Indeed ,
I cannot hope to sec ft finer exhibition of
courage , strength and manly endurance with
out a trace of meanness than was shown by
these teams. American toot ball Is not so
much a game In our rougfj end ready sense
of the word as It Is the development of the
scries of Intricate tac'tlcaj evolutions. The
players go through a c&urso of training

which no English amale'ur ever had any

D13IIEL HAS A TALE TO TELL.
Herr Debel , the socialist leader , has an
nounced that at a mass meeting next Tues
day ho Is going to make interesting revela-
tlona regarding the supporters of Von
Tausch. The socialists Intend to move In
the Helchstag to eliminate from the criminal
cede the so-called spy paragraphs. Ono of
the meat sensational articles of the week ap
peared In the Vorwarts , the socialist organ.
It was entitled "Signs of the Times , " and
In It the rottenness of German political life
was cxposod nnd compared with antc-rovo-
lutlonnry epochs In France. The Eulcnbergs ,
Count von Waldersco and the Blsmarcks are
openly charged with having prompted Von
Tausch lu his pat-t doings. Five hundred
thousand copies of the Vorwarts wcro sold
on Tuesday before Von Dorso , Us editor ,
was arrested In the otreets. The remaining
copies of the edition were contlscate.l. The
Vorwarts will bo prosecuted for slander.
Nearly all the German papers etre-ngly
condemn the police system and agree that
further disclosure : ) are Imminent.
President Cleveland's proclamation restor
ing tonnage dues has caused a great otlr In
government circles , where It Is violently con
demned. It Is believed that Germany's re
monstrances will lead to their withdrawal.
The Kretiz Zeltung says : "As a matter of
fact , wo have many more grudges agatnt't
the Americans than they have against us ,
for it Is an cstabllshe.1 fact that German
uugar pays America more than the treaty
regulations fix. This Is not oven denied by
tlio Americans and that alone would enable
us to retaliate by some such measure. In
fact , it Is Indispensable If the United Stater
loads our ships with duties such as arc not
Imposed by European countries. Ccroji | > ,
cotton , butter , apple ? , and especially meats ,
are all open to retaliatory treatment on cur
side. Americans need us moro than wo need
them , though wo do not deny they are good
customers of our manufacturers. But If what
Is ald of McKlnley's Intenlloim proves true ,
tlia Vankecu themselves will rid us ot any
remaining Bcruples. As McKlnley Is only
the tool of the great monopolists , wo may
know what to expect. " The other agrarian
and conservative newspapers , tuch at < the
Tagllschu Rundschau and Dcutscho Zcltung ,
print cdltcrlal articles of Ilko tenor.

MADRID , Dec. 12. It now transpires that
tint eoml-olllclal stnfenu'iH published by the
government organ , El Imparcial , on Novem
ber 9 , that the American Cuban filibustering
steamer , Laurada , recently loaded at Messina ,
Italy , would not touch at Valencia , Spain ,
hut that her cargo was Intended for Valencia ,
Venezuela , was made with the view of calmIng -
Ing any excitement which might have been
aroused In Spain upon the subject. The cir
culation of the report that the Laurada's
cargo was Intended for Valencia , Venezuela ,
and not for Valencia , Spain , had an addi
tional object In view. Besides calming the
feelings aroused at Valencia by the an
nouncement that the notcU filibustering
steamer was to put In at that port , the
statement regarding the shipment of the
cargo to Venezuela was planned for the
purpoce of giving the Laurada people an
opportunity to reconsider their determination
to put into the Spanish port of Valencia ,
the report having been widely circulated that
the Laurada was to bo taken to Spanish ports
with the object of provoking a demonstra
tion and bringing about trouble between the
United States and Spain. In the meanwhile
It is understood efforts were made to per-
euado the Laurada p oplo from , carrying out
their project of landing at Valencia , Spain.
The United .States consular agent at Qroyo ,
four miles from Valencia , Theodore Mcrtens ,
telegraphed to Mr. Hanuls-Taylor , tbo United
States minister here , asking for Instructions ,
and warning him of the angry feeling pre
vailing at Valencia. Ho said the port
authorities had decided If the Laurada ar
rived not to allow her alongside the quays ,
BO as to prevent the possibility of an attack
upon her. In addition , the local authorities
at Valencia took stops to energetically sup
press any autl-Laurada manifestations. In
spite of the representations made to those
Interested , In the Laurada and her cargo ,
she appeared off Valencia on Friday , and to
day continue ) ! maneuvering about the coast.
Her captain was apparently undecided
whether to enter the harbor or not. In the
meanwhile , It Is further stated , Mr. Taylor
cabled to Washington for Instructions. Dis
patches from Valencia today announced the
merchants and shippers of that place. In
cluding the foreigners , had resolved not to
assist In discharging the cargo of the Lau-
rada. The newspapers here and In this city
have expressed the opinion that the voyage
of the Laurada to Spain was deliberately
undertaken with a view of provoking a clash
between the United States and Spain. Senor
F. Cos-Gayon , minister of the Interior , In
an Interview , says that as the papers of the
Laurada are In order , the ofllclals at Valen
cia could not prevent her from entering
that port , even if they should make the
attempt. The consignee , however , having
stated that she had no cargo for him , It Is
not likely that she will enter Valencia
harbor.
It la reported hero that the United States
government has Instructed Mr. Thcodoro
.Mortens , the United States consular agent at
Grao , to u'lvlnc the captain of the Laurada not
to attempt to enter tbo port at Valencia. If
the captain of the Laurada Insists upon en
tering the harbor , ho must take the responsi
bility. U is now stated at Valencia that the
mysterious pteamcr which has been hovering
off the coast during the last twenty-four
hours la not the Laurada , and that the Lau
rada la not expected to arrive at Valencia
until Monday.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 12. The trouble
arising over the attempts of the American
steamship Laurada to enter the port of Val
encia , Spain , has been fully communicated
to the authorities here. Scnor Dupuy do
Lomo , the Spanish minister , was at the
State department today and it Is understood
his main purpose was to confer with Sec
retary Olney regarding the Laurada. No
announcement has been made of the atti
tude of the United States , hut there. Is good
reason for believing that both governments
will act together to prevent sensational de
velopments. A careful watch hnu been kept
on the Laurada for many months and It is
said her present movement to a Spanish port
Is designed to precipitate an outbreak and
some Indignity to the American flag , which
clio files. As an evidence of thin , it Is
pointed out that the Laurada has chosen to
go 'totlio ' Spanish port which hax shown
the most excitement during the present
trouble. It was there that Undent rlotu
were aroused and an excited mob throw
stones at the American consulate.
As allowing thu character of the
Laurada's trip , the watch kept upon
her discloses that Mho went from
Halifax with a cargo of tipples to Swansea ,
\Valca , and thence to Naples , Medina and
Palermo , Italian ports on the Mediterranean.
From Palermo she vailed for Valencia , for
the ostensible piirK)30 | of taking a cargo
of oranges nml of coaling. It la ( inserted ,
however , that thlj proposed entry Into Valencia
'
encia In not madc'ln good faith , HH the usiiul
place of coallnt ; for chip * leaving thn
Mediterranean IH tit Gibraltar , where tlio
facilities are ample ; al to that a cargo of
oraiiKttt might have been secured at any of
tbo Italian ports where jlio Mopped.

JACKSONVILLE Fla. . Dec. 12. The Citi
zen tomorrow will contain the following rela
tive to the death of Antonio Macro :
Justo Carlllo , n well known ttuban of this
city , brother of the Cuban general , Carlllo ,
has received the following letter from a
trustworthy correspondent In Havana , coin
firming the reports of the death of Antonio
Maceo and showing that hu was killed by
treachery :
HAVANA , Dec. O.-Denr Friend , Justo :
Our brave general. Antonio Maceo" , and tho.
greater part of his HtnlT have boon murdered
by the Spaniard * , tiho Spanish major , Qlru
jcd.i , acting the part of usHMssln. with Dr.
Maximo Xotucha a an assistant In the horrible
rible drama.
Convinced that notwithstanding his enor
mous army , ho could do nothing nunlnst
our gallant leader , who had so repeatedly ,
defeated the Spanish generals In Plnar del
Ulo , Weylcr conceived the Idea of appeasing
his beaHtly Instincts by cold-blooded mur
der , anil making the best of secret rclo-
lions between Dr. X.etuelia and the Mnrq'uls
of Ahumada , ho planned with the latter hla
hellish scheme.
Weylcr took the Held , and In Ms nbscnco
Ahumada proposed through Xetucha a con
ference with Macco , to lake place at n cer
tain point In the province of Havana , with
the view of arranging plans for the crs a '
lion of hostilities. The basis wan to bo
Cuba's independence and a monetary Indem
nity to Spain , together with certain advan |
tagea that should bo agreed upon for Span-
\tl\ \ commerce and Spanish capital Invested
here.
To carry out the plan It was arranged
that orders should be given to the detach
ments of troops stationed on the Iroclm in
the section l > et < , veen Marlcl and Guanujtty ,
to allow Maccolth his stuff to pass the
military line.
line.WEYLICU
WEYLICU AGKKKS.
Tlmo was required to mature these nr-
rnngeineiUH nnd to glvo them all the ap
pearance of truth : Ahumadu feigned that
before noting ho miiiH imiko them known
to Weylcr for his previous approval. Thl
explains the Budden arrival of Weylcr In
Havana unel hla prompt return to Plnar del
Rio. The conditions and place of the meetIng -
Ing having been agreed on , Macro crossed
the t'rocha over the road to Quanajay with
out being molested by the forte , but ns noon
as IIP arrived at the place decided upon ho
and bis party were greeted by a tremendous
volley from Uio troops under Major Olru-
jcda , who lay conveniently In anibmli. Most
of the ollleers on his HtalT fell with General
Mnceo. Xctucha IH nlivo bfcalixe ho wad
aware of the nclierne and remained In tliu
rear.
The Spaniards know where the bodies are ,
but arc bent on feigning Ignorance to blot
out the vestiges of the crime.
Havana and all Spain urn rejoicing be
cause , In their stupidity , they hope the < war
may end lth KIP death of thin-leader. Far
from It. The spirit of the Cubans has Brown
more ardent , and today they are resolved
to make every sacrifice before surrendering
their arms to their relentless tyrants. In
the province of Havana , In which our army
IK least numerous and has the least moana
of defense , the Cubans arc operating with
greater and greater activity , and not a. day
passes that wo do not hear In this city the
llrinK on Cuan.ibacoa. Tliu Spaniards may
treacherously murder Homo of our leaders ,
but no rarfhly power can annihilate the
spirit of liberty Mowing now ns over over
the Cuban people.
CONFIRMATORY INCIDENTS.
Joaqiiia Fortune pointed out yesterday the
fallowing facts , which , In his opinion , cor
roborated the statements in the foregoing
letter and Indicate that Macco Is really
dead : ,
"First LaLucha published an article last
Saturday In which It wao ft a ted that on the
previous day Major Glrujeda had had an
engagement with an Insurgent force and had
killed thirty-two Cubann , not named , at pre
cisely the place In which General Maceo was
murdered.
"Second The first dispatch from
Havana reporting Macco's death , which was
received on Tuesday , Plate J that Major flru- !
jeda hud previous knowledge of the bars *
that General Marco WJB to ride.
"How did ho acquire that knowledge ? "
"Third Weylor publicly attributes the
glory of the event to the marrula | of Aim-
m.ida , who has not been nway from Ha
vana. Why should not the glory bo given
exclusively to Major Glrnjeda , who had the
goad fortune , if the encounter wat < an acci
dent , to como unexpectedly on MUCOO'B party ?
"Fourth From the first , even before con
vincing proofs had been offered , sucli aasur-
anco was expressed at the pulaco an Indi
cated a preconcerted plan.
"Fifth Xetudm'w previous conduct. It novr
appears , IH not altogether free from blemish.
"Sixth--A mnnlfost contradiction appears
between what IH wlil by the authorllleu In
Havana and what the Spanish mlnlu'er ot
foreign affairs announces In hla confirmatory
telegram to Minister dc Lomo at Washing
ton. Thfl Havana mitliorlUen distinctly bay
they have been unable to HCCUTO the body ol
Macoo , whllo the telegram from Madrid
trtatcu the body ban been Identified , This
version was transmitted to Madrid to glva
thu homo government full assurance of thq
fact , whllo it was later thought fit to con
ceal the truth from the prcns In Havana. In
order to conceal the dastardly crime. "
