CISNEROS TO M'KINLEY

Chicago, April line liner Ocean
louay prints an open letter winch Presl-
dent Clsneros OF the Cuban republic has
sent TO President Mckinley.
The letter, which is OF great length,
was sent TO the Inter Ocean by way OF
ITS correspondents, VINO visited CIsneros
at his executive headquarters on CuDi-
Gas mountain, state OF ~Camaguey. Cis-
neros in his letter TO Mckinley says:
During the administration OF your
nigh Office there will be many questions
and matters of importance for you %
decide. Affairs at home and abroad will
TAX the strength you are known to. pos
sess, but | would ask you in the name OF
God and my people to extend early con-
sideration TO what is known in the Unit
ed States as the Cuban question. We
nave at this time in our beautiful CAPT.
cal a legation, as yet unrecognized Of
ticially by your government. That le-
CATION, composed of men we love and
trust, is amply in the position to inform
The American government OF such de-
tails as it may desire.
In the first place. l beg you to con-
slider that the island of Cuba righlfully
belongs to the people of the western
hemisphere. Its geographical location
precludes the possibility Of it being con-
sidered a part OF any other continent.
Secondly, its people are essentially
American in all their hopes and aspira-
tons, and thirdly. the island and it's
people will continue to grow more and
stronger American from dad to day and
from year TO year. Therefore, from the
outset, may no ask, why does Spain
struggle against fate? We're it possible
to drag the island across the Atlantic as
she drags men and women to Jail, were
1t possible to exterminate the present
population and replant the soil with her
loyal subjects, or were it possible to
enforce that ignorance and stupidity she
30 much desires in the communication
with the great republic. then there might
be q prospect Of holding Cuba ever faith
full.
But even with these l doubt her abil-
ty to control the island after the passage
Of a certain period. The sons of Span
iards coming in after generations would
be Cubans as devoted to their little is
land domain and with as much detesta-
ton for its ~enslavery as are the Cubans
of today.
Therefore. do as she may, Spain is
destined to lose Cuba eventually, and
could she hope for success in the present
war it would only be a matter of a few
years when another rebellion would
command her attention, entailing the
loss of thousands of lives and the vast
expenditure OF money. and with only
the prospect Of ultimate defeat.
But for Spain the present struggle is
a hopeless one. Two years ago the pat
riotic rebellion was inaugurated and the
success attending our arms has been a
surprise even to us. who were most hope
full and who had most at stake"

countries. The river shows 8 decline
from a point below Helena to the way
side %crevasse. The decline above Green
Vile. in many places, is as great as 10
inches. However, Helena, Ark, is not
out Of danger, for the waters from st.
Francis basin in Arkansas are still
swelling the channel of the main river
from the mouth of the st. Francis to a
poitn south of Helena, as no break oc-
urs until Westover is reached, 10 miles
below that city. The worst at Helena
will be over by Sunday.
The damage to the farming country
in the delta cannot be exaggerated. Five
counties will be for the most part under
water 80 days and the main line and
branch lines Of the Yazoo and M:ssis-
sippi Valley railroad will have more
than a hundred miles OF track inundat,

DENVER GIRL KILLS HERSELF
Suicide of Lo,Lie Merrill OF Denver on
the Burlington Flyer.

Omaha, Neb., April IA special from
Hastings, Neb., says:
The Burlington flyer this morning
brought in the remains Of Miss Lottie
Merrill OF Denver, who committed sui
eide at a late hour last night while en-
route from Denver 10 Lincoln, where she
was going 10 be married. There is a
great mystery surrounding the whole at
lair, as the young woman and her in
tended husband, Frank B.. Massey OF
Denver. mad known each other for years,
during which time Miss Merrill's parents
mad looked upon Mr.. Massey as one OF
the family.
Mr.. Massey was seen here today and
said that he did not elope, but had de-
cided to go 70 Lincoln and be married.
He said he could think OF no reason why
me girl committed suicide, and he APP
peared TO be greatly grieved over the act.
However the girl had made up her mind
before she left Denver that she would
kill herself, as she wrote u letter 10 her
mother while at the union depot in Den
yer stating that she intended taking her
W life. This fact was confirmed to-
day by a telegram from Mrs. S. NJ. For.
rest, her mother.
1t is said that shortly after the train
left Denver the young woman began TO
attract considerable attention in the car
by occasionally bursting u in tears,
and appeared to be in distress. The last
cine any n saw here before she COM
mitted The rash act was at a late hour
last night, when she went to the ladies'
saloon in the sleeping car just before re-
firing. Mr.. Massey occupied the birth
just above the II occupied by Miss
Merrill. When the train arrived at OK
ford DR.. Brady was summoned, as the
girl was found in great agony. After an
examination it was found that she had
taken a dose Of morphine and it was
impossible to save her life. She had
taken the poison when she went to the
saloon, as a bottle containing morphine
was found there.
When the remains reached Hastings
this morning they were taken to Under
taker Reeds. where q coroner's inquest
was held. The jury found that she had
come to her death by a dose Of morphine
which was administered by her "
hand with suicidal intent. Mr., Massey
had the remains embalmed and sent
back to Denver tonight, where she will
arrive with them tomorrow.
Lottie Merrill was quite a pretty semi
blonde OF about medium height and 21
years old. Her home was at 14O7
Champa street, Denver.
Frank B. Massey is a mlddle-aged
man, who has been in the mining busi-
ness in Colorado for some time and has
several friends in Hastings.
