Campos, and subsequently ordered 10
summarily leave Cuba, passed through
Washington last night on his way to
his old home at Warrentown. Va. He
will return to Washington In a few
days to present his case to the state de-
partment. Sewers claims that he was
in no way identified with the insur-
gents, but was nevertheless imprisoned
by Campos' orders for 10 days, and
subjected to many indlgnities. when
released he was forced to leave Cuba
on "a hours notice. The brief time al
lowed did not give him an opportunity
to arrange for the departure OF his wife
and children, who are still in Cuba.
Mr.. Sewers will ask the state depart
ment to demand heavy indemnity from
Spain for interfering with the rights OF
law-ablding citizens. He says he be-

dered Girl.

Princeton, Minn., Sept. 2.-Mamy years
ago a girl disappeared from this vicinity.
1t was ten days sensation, for 1t was
believed that murder had been done, but
there was no cle'w to the perpetrator Of
the supposed crime and after time the
search was abandoned.
Sunday morning there was an electrical
storm I'm this vicinity and bolts Of light
ming shattered many trees. Alex Bowers
was passing near Elk river during the
storm and was blinded by fash of
lightning. The bolt split great hollow
oak from top to bottom. Bowers no.
t.ced something white in the hollow and
made an investigation and found the
skeleton OF woman. The skull, which
was small. had been crushed in as
though by heavy blow.
No clothing was found. but a few but
tons under the bones led to the belief
that the old mystery had been cleared up
and that the missing girl was murdered
and her body hidden IN the hollow tree.

CUBA IN THE PULPIT.
Oppression of the Island by spain Mast
Come TO an End

Chicago, Sept. 22-Rev. II. w. Thom-

to say oppression of Cuba by Spain
must come TO an end. There was a
large attendance OF the best people in

quently interrupted by outbursts of ap-
plause. DIR. Thomas said in part:
Among the modern nations OF the
earth Spain is old. She was once In
the foreground. one of the greatest and
proudest and most prosperous of na-
tions. But she was always on the side
of royalty 1nd ecclesiasticism. She be-
longed to the old order OF government
and religion. Other countries have ad-
vanced, have heard the call and caught
the inspiration OF new light. while
Spain has stood still-has gone back
ward. She has not absorbed the other
people of the earth and caught inspira-
tion from them.
"Her religion n Roman Catholic and
can be found with that. She has a
right to have her religion which is one
OF the great wings or powers OF the
church. Protestant religion is toler-
ated. but worship must be In secret
and no notice of meetings may be
given. There are 10000 Protestants In
the country. In a population of less
than 49, 900 there are 100000 men
and 100000 women who cannot read
and write Education fouris,ies In
England. Germany. France and Italy.
and I therefore argue that Spain-this
moribund nation. that has failed to get
into line with the practice OF this great
age-has forfeited the right to be die
tator. much less ruler among the ma
tions of the earth. II has a right to
exist in ignorance and superstition and
10 manage Its own affairs, but II has
not a right TO cruelty oppress Its own
subjects. The time has come for Amer
lea to say that this oppression OF Cuba
must come 10 an end and that very
