DEATH OF MRS. THURSTON.


HAVANA. March l4.-Consui General
Lee received the following telegram this
afternoon from ". Barker. United States
consul at Sasua Ia Grande:
THE wife of Senator Thurston died on
the Anita today. Shall give every at,en-
ton and wire you from Boca."
Meager adviees say that Mrs. Thurston
died OF apopiexy about o'clock this morn
ing. when the yacht was in sight OF port.
The Anita left Matanzas last night, with
all the congressional party except Con-
gressmen Smith and Cummings. who wen.
to Sagua by rail. The passage from Ha-
vana TO Matanzas was very rough. and
that TO Sagua even worse.
I, is thought that this, together with
the rough passage down the coast. may
have FASTENED the end bu; nothing definite
is known here as to the circumstances OF
Mrs. Thurston's death or as 10 the time
and place of the funeral.
WASHINGTON. March H-Consul Gem

on the yacht Anita. The party had
stormy night of Hatteras and put into
Charleston. The trip was continued after
q few days rest. The Anita first touched
Cuba at Havana, and afterwards went TO
Matagzas and Sagua Ia Graade.
Mrs Thurston was n excellent health
when she left this city. having taken an
active part In Ihe annual convention OF
the Daughters OF the American Revoiu-
ton. WHICH met here the week before her
