New York March 14.-Consul General
Lee has notified the state department of
the death to-day at sagua la Grande,
Cuba, of the wife of Senator Thurston of
Nebraska on board the yacht Anita.
Senator and Mrs. Thurston were MEM
bers of a congressional party which left
Fort Monroe March 2. for trip to
Cuba on the yacht Anita. The party were
in a storm off Hatteras and put into
Charleston The trip was continued after
a few days rest. The Anita first touched
cuba at Havana and afterward went on
to Matanzas and Sagua la Grande.
The brief announcement of Mrs Thurs
toms death was quite unsatisfactory TO
her many acquaiutances in this city ana
every effort was made to secure details,
as the demise was most unexpected. Mrs.
Thurston was In excellent health when
she left the city having taken an active
part in the annual convention of the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
which met here the week before her de-
pature. Mrs. Thurston before her mar
riage was Miss Martha Poland, niece
of Luke Poland of Vermont prominent
years ago in the House OF Representatives.
Mr. and Mrs. Thurston celebrated their
silver wedding here last fan. They have
several children.

if that could have ended our action.
It would have been little better than
national piracy unless we we're pre-
pared to do in the Turkish empire
what we shall have to do in Cuba and
the Phillipines-to take the place of
the anarchic government that we up
set. That would have been an appall-
ing task in Turkey, and might properly
give us pause. But it is not needful
for us to enter upon it. England had
more call than we, and was eager to
do her duty, as free from selfish ambi-
ton as we just now in Cuba. And
she would have done it, so far as Tur-
key or any other European power was
concerned. The proper demand for
action was much more unanimous and
hearty than with us for war for Cuba. !"

SICK OR WELL, 4 RUSH HIGHT
AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santi-
ago de Cuba We're all Heroes.
Their Heroic Efforts In Getting
Ammunition and Rations to the
Front Saved the Day.

P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 8,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July 23d, says: 1--WE all had diarrhoea
in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case OF rush and
rush night and day to keep the troops
supplied with ammunition and rations,
but thanks to Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy, we
were able to keep at work and keep
our health; in fact, 1 sincerely believe
that at one critical time this medicine
was the indirect saviour of our army,
! for if the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way of
getting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that wagon train could
use. My comrade and myself had the
good fortune to lay in supply of this
medicine for our pack train before we
left Tampa, and l know in four cases
it absolutely saved life"
The above letter was written to the
manufacturers of this medicine, the
Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moines,
Iowa. For sale at Hitchcock's drug
