SIGHT OF GREAT SUFFERING. THE CAUSE.
Havana. March ia correspondent at Sagua
Ia Grande telegraphs that Mrs. Thurston died at
noon Yesterday from heart disease, believed to
he hereditary. She had been much affected by
the scenes Of suffering which she witnessed at
Matanzas especially in the cases OF the skele-
ton-like children.
Mrs Thurston. when conscious that her end
was near said Il am not sorry to go to rest,
but I am grieved that my own children Will be
motherless.
Mrs Thurston has worn small American nag
next to her heart ever since the trip began and
when she died the flag was clasped to her
breast.
When at Matanzas Mrs. Thurston saw gaunt
mother sadly embracing her dying child. Her
feelings were much excited by this sad scene.
and probably this incident alone helped TO
hasten the end.
The Congressional party had made arrange
nents To visit the hospitals Of Sagua la Grande,
but the sad death Of Mrs. Thurston has changed
all the plans.

It reported on Monday that Senor j. NJ. Cebal-

from the island. thereby leaving the inhabitants
free to form whatever kind OF government they
might consider suitable Spain only insisting on q
remote allegiance TO the mother country.
The President is said to have Informed Sefor
Cehallos that he could not take his proposition

ANT SECRETARY DAY.
WASHINGTON, March IA statement which Is
believed to reflect correctly the sentiment OF the
Spanish Cabinet in the present emergency was
made to-day by a man intimately associated
with Premier Sagasta and Sehor Moret Minister
of the Colonies 1t is not desired 10 give II the
form of an official utterance but rather an OK
preston from one whose opportunities FOR IN
formation are complete on the views animatihS
the ruling authorities of Spain. The statement
E follows.
The elections in Cuba about to occur,
and the Government desires them to be as 'ree
as possible Naturally, however, the insurrec-
ton will prevent many from voting and 1t Is ielt
also that renewed insurgent activity coming at
such a moment might jeopardize the successful
working out Of the autonomst plan. Moreover,
the attitude Of the United States in having a
squadron near Cuba and the active war Prep
arations in the United States are OF nature That
may exert an influence against n fair expression
OF public will under the autOnomist plan. 1t is
thought that if the United States were sircere
IN its expressions of friendship to spain, even
if it thought that autonomy could not meet
every expectation, it should by friendly acts ana
not words show this sympathy with me hpera
regime naugurated In Cuba II the Washins-
ton Government made known indirectly to the
insurgents that it meant to have peace In Cupa
and that peace in Cuba may he had win an
autonomist Government under Spain. the iisur-
rection would certainly die out. If later the
Weyler party wanted 10 interfere. it would he
time Their for the United States to take action
That action would be then justifiable. Now TO
make war on Spain would be a crime, and Tor
that crime to civilization and humanity the
United States would be responsible
The foregoing statement was called TO the
attention of Sefor Polo de Bernabe. tie Spanish
Minister, and his views on ii were requested, put
he ma aintained diplomatic reserve. After rcad-
ing IL carefully he said ii appeared TO be gwen
by thoroughly conversant with the situation.
This afternoon the Spanish Minister called at
the State Department, and had confertAcf
lasting two hours with Assistant Secretary Oay.
1t was the first call of Senor Polo purely lot
business purposes, the former calls having teeh
OF ceremony. The Minister came away looking
highly gratifed but he asked to be excused from
discussing the purposes OF his call. There IS
little doubt. however. that IL permitted fuii

A NEW FORM OF PERSONALITIES.

The old style of portraving famous
people through sketch" or "biogra-
phy'' is to be modernized in The La
dies Home Journal during 1898. Five
of the most prominent Americans have
been chosen for the departure: Presi-
dent Mckinley, Mrs. Cleveland, Mark
Twain, Joseph Jefferson, and Thomas
A. Edison. Each will have a special
article, which will consist of about fif-
teen or twenty fresh, unpublished sto
ries and anecdotes strung together,
each anecdote showing some character
istic trait or presenting a different side
of the subject. The idea is to show IA
nous personalities through their own
doings and sayings, and to make these
articles accurate the relatives and clos
est personal friends of the subjects
have assisted and given to the Journal
the best stories and anecdotes within
their own knowledge. Each article
will thus represent the closest view of
the one sketched. No authorship will
be attached to any of the articles.

SHALL THE PARTY ORGANIZATION BE
PREsERVEDl

Before the campaign of 1898 opens it
is essential to Kansas Populists, especi-
ally, that the political premises be sur
veyed carefully. This is not time to
plunge into the political arena blindly,
passIonately or heedlessly. To make
haste slowly, advisedly and in the right
direction is duty which confronts ev-
cry earnest Populist. We might as we'll
speak plainly: Too much political
dealing, unfaithless legislators and
leaders and designing politicians have
crept into high places, disguised, and
caused great deal of trouble in the
ranks of the Peoples party. until now
it Is a question which one of the boys
we are" This does not mean that the
party is in hopeless or ruined condi-
tion but the fact confronts us that the
organization is in peril. Whether it
will be disrupted or maintained and
strengthened depends on the action of
the individual members of the party
who believe that Populist demand say
what they mean and mean what they
say. The Populist party does not only
need recruits but 1t must retain it's
present membership; and it requires a
patriotic, unselfish, honest and sincere
policy 10 achieve both purposes. The
| first great essential is fidelity to the
party platform; then come faithful,
| honest, competent servants, none of
whom can possess all OF these elements
without first having endorsed all Of the
platform upon which they profess their
candidacy is based. 1t will Lot do to
| play the good Lord, good deYil' act
any longer; it may bring temporary vic
| tory IN municipalities, but it is sure to
end in eventual and permanent defeat.
What the people of this great nation
want is not erstwhle officers of diff
| ferent faith than that or POpulism, but
the enactment of POpulist principles
| into law. The rank and file of the PeO-
| piles party have beome weary of elect
| ing men to office, believing that they
| were sending instruments to congresses
and legislatures to formulate these
| principles into the organic law of the
| land, only to be informed by those
whom they elected that Populist ideas
are impractical and, if enacted into
law, would be ruinous to the country in
general. This answer has been sent
back to constituencies in various in
stances and 1t invariably came from
those whose faith in the Populist creed
was always question.
In consequence of these irregularities
| the party organization is in a critical
condition and nothing but the most pa
triotlc and unselfish action and wis
dom on the part of all members will re-
tain it. If the rank and file direct theiI
own policy and remain steadfast to the
principles the platform proclaims the
party will triumph. But if we allow
ourselves to be sold to any organization
inimical to our welfare we will sink
Let us live and respect that we may be
respected by others.
