Purple for shadows, gold for sunshine
White for the clouds on high.
Brown for the earth that gave them birth
And blue for the azure sky.
Pansies for thoughts, some gay and glad
And some that are sweetly, softly, sad.
Lifes joys and SORROWS typifisd
BY pansies that came from Sunnyside.

Uncle Sam Demands Indem nifty
From Spain
ONE AND A HALF MILLION
The Mora Claims Must Be Settled
Immediately
Il ID Expected That There viii Be Pro mpt
and Satisfactory Settlement Of
the Claim

Associated Press Special Wire.
NEW YORK, June 1S.-A special to a
local paper from Washington indicates
that the government has demanded
that Spain must Immediately pay the
Mora claim OF one and one half million
dollars or severe measures will be taken
for collection.
Antonio Maxine Mora was an Ameri-
can citizen owning valuable sugar prop
erty in Cuba. During an isurrection in
that island 1t was seized by the Spanish
government and, in the absence OF its
owner, be was condemned ana the prop
erty confiscated. Before Spain admitted
its error in thus treating an American
citizen and his property there had been
collected from the estate nearly 81, 500, 900
When it was seen that the United States
government was determined there should
be a settlement the Spanish governm emit
offered a com promise. In place OF the
absolute indebtedness to Mora, which was
admitted by the offer of compromise.
Spain agreed to pay the sum of 81. sou, 600
With interest on such part of it's indem-
nifty award as should be deferred.
Minister Taylor at Madrid has been in
formed bv telegraph OF the insistence OF
the United States upon the prompt pay
ment of the indemnity. and has been d.
rected to press for settlement and imme
d1ate payment regardless OF the action bv
the proposed claims convention. This
dispatch went to Minister Taylor several
DAYS ago. The supletter of instructions
will be in his hands in a day or two at
the farhest.
The expectation is that there will be a
prompt and satisfactory settlement and
payment at once. Should the Spanish
neglect to properly impress upon the cor
ties the Importance of granting the neces-
sary funds, or the cortes refuse TO allow
an appropriation for Mora, the United
States government. III self respect,
would be constrained to try other means
to secure payment. 1t may become nee
essary to occupy Havana and to retain
control:of custom houses there until an
amount eqaul to the Mora indem-
nifty has been collected. This could be
done without offense to international
law, if the United States were not op-
posed by superior fleet and military
force at Havana. If it should be objected
to by Spain that this is an awkward
time for an embarrassed government to
that Just sent to Madrid, it is plain that
Spain has provided its own embarrass-
ment by presEming upon our good ma
ture and federation, rather than imperti-
nent neglect and arrogance. If Spain
cared as much for its own self-respect
and our good opinion as it does for the
possession of Cuba, it would have paid
The Mora indemnity years ago. Leaving
it to be settled as it must he now, it will
be difficult to avoid the conclusion that
the payment OF the award is also the pur-
chase of our abstention from practical in
PREVENTION on behalf of the Cuban insur-
gents.

The New Gold Fields

GUTHRIE. o. T., June Histories of
remarkable finds are still coming in from
the newly found gold fields. John Ennis
and r. A. Gregory, claim holders in Wa
shita county, came in today from the
scene of the gold find there. They state
that along Boggy creek there is an out.
cropping of vein of ore from two to
four feet IN thickness, and that all of
the tests known to miners and to Jewell
ers show there is gold in it. One man
has made assays running from 500 to
$500 per ton. An area ten miles square
is now staked off in mining camps, and
there are indications of the deposit for
over forty miles. The town of Golden
has been laid off at tho edge OF the neld,
and lots are reported to be already sell
ing at tremendous prices, while hun.
dreGs of wagons are bringing in Jumper
and buildings are going up and stores be-
ing started. While the excitement is
intense there has been no trouble as vet,
but little work being done. All seem to
be waiting tor the report OF an official as
sayst. as everybody is suspicious of his
neighbor and afraid the thing Is too good
to he true. Ii the official assays should
prove anywhere near the local assay, the
rush to the country will be beyond all
precedent.

Ex-Conaressman Cooper and Ex-Governor
Flower Talk Of the Honey Issue

WASHINGTON, June 1s.-Ex- Repre-
sentative George w. Cooper OF Indiana
says he believes the Democratic and Re-
publican parties will go before the people
next year ON gold platforms, and expects
the silver Democrats to support the uomi-
nee of their party. Mr.. Cooper admits
the free silver sentim eut is strong in In
diana. but says any who are inclined to
that policy have been driven to the sup
port of the administration by the abuse
OF the president and secretary. lie says
the drift is in favor of the gold standard
and that the campaign of education IS
showing the free silver men the error OF
their ways.
II will admit, however" said he chat
if vote was taken today on free silver
the south and west would favor the propo-
sltion. But we have before us year in
which to educate voters
NEW YORK. June 18.--EX- Governor
Roswell p. Flower has returned from his
western trip. Among other things he
said to reporter:
. Don't believe what people tell you
about bad crops. 1t is good crop year.
The cold weather which we had few
weeks ago only injured the winter wheat,
and should say that not more than 100,
eco bushels of winter wheat is raised
euob VI bnc hOChD mountains. Dub the
spring wheat is IN fine condition and the
corn promises to be very large. The corn
was not out of the ground when the frost
came, SO escaped injury. Fruits are also
in good condition. Our personal observa-
ton OF the farming territory through
which we passed gave us great encour-
aement, and the reports which we got
from the railroad men convinced us these
favorable conditions are general through
out the west and southwest.
Presidential candidates seem to be
quite numerous on the Republican side,
but on the Democratic side there seems to
be a disposition to await political de-
velopments before discussing candidates.
~ can't say that the talk has crystal
lied around any one man, but | ieard
ce-Presdent Stevenson's name men
toned considerably. Senator Villas has
great many friends who would be glad to
sete him get the nomination, and so has
Boise of Iowa. Don Dickinson is likely
dark horse, and ST. is MORRISON of Illinois.
The free silver Democrats, of course,
want an out and out silver man. | heard
some talk about William l.. Wilson's hav-
ing the administration influence for the
nomination. If the nomination should
60 to the east. William G. Whitney stands
as good chance as any other eastern
man."
