RETURN OF THE FERN.
The Boat Leaves Supplies I'm Cuba and
Steams Back to Key West.


KEY WEST, Fla. March 1.-THE United
States dispatch boat Fern arrived hers
this afternoon from Matanzas. Her trip
was uneventfuI. She reached Matanzaa
on Saturday and at once began dis
charging provisions into lighters. On
shore a few persons had gathered,
but there was no demonstration Of any
kind. The share of provisions for Matanzas
was got rid Of in a. business-like way and
the Fern then sailed for Sagua le Grande
where the same programme was gone
through on Sunday, the operation Of land
ing the stores occupying about six hours.
United States Consul Barker boarded ths
Fern upon her arrival at Sagua. He was
overjoyed to see an American ship once
more, even though it was only the little
Fern. The consul said there we're about 25,-
900 starving reconcentradoS In his district.
An officer of the Fern said to the corre-
spondent OF the Associated Press to-day:
1T seemed as IL the gladness of the
wretched Cubans at our arrival was st!ded
by the overpowering dread that hangs above
the people of Cuba that could not be dis
PEELED even with the coming of the food for
which they longed. Naturally. we saw lit
tie. Ours was no exploring trip. But we
saw enough to convince us that the stories
emanating from Matanzas and especially
from Sagua la Grande are not exagger-
ated The Fern probably will so back with
more provisions about Friday.
The torpedoes which arrived Saturday
were transferred to-day to Fort Taylor and
considerable local excitement was raised
over rumors that they were being placed in
position. An officer who would be connected
with such work, however, denied this re-
port and said: when you see these mines
OF torpedoes being placed you can make up
your mind that war is more imminent than
the last moment; for however good the
mine. II is always liable to become useless

sive explosives by premature submersion.

She Had n Presentiment.

WASHINGTON, March IA. - Mrs. Gal
Iinger, wife of Senator Gallinger, who was
one of the party which left here for Cuba,
but who abandoned the trip when the
yacht reached Charleston, was greatly
shocked at the announcement of the death.
When Mrs. Gallinger left Charleston Mrs.
Thurston was in perfect health and had
best withstood the storm off Hatteras, be-
ing the only one who was not made sick.
She confided to Mrs. Gallinger a strange
presentiment, saying she had written her
son. now at Harvard, certain desires to be
carried out in case Of accident and added:
az do not expect to return alive" Little
was thought of the remark and Mrs. Thurs
ton did not explain whether she feared a
natural death or some accident to the ves-
sell"
Senator and Mrs. Thruston were members
of a congressional party which left Fort
Monroe March for trip to Cuba on the
yacht Anita. The party had stormy night
off Hatteras and put into Charleston. The
trip was continued after few days rest.
The Anita first touched Cuba at Havana
and afterward went to Matanzas and Sa-
qua la Grande. The brief announcement
OF Mrs, Thurston's death was quite un-
satisfactory to her many acquaintance in
this city, and every effort was made to Sc
cure details. as the demise was most un-
expected. 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 depar-
ture. Mr.. and Mrs. Thurston celebrated
their silver wedding here last fall.

MRS. THURSToN DEAD
WIFE OF THE SENATOR DIES SUD-
DENLY ON THE YACHT ANITA.
Was with Her Husband and other
COngressmen ON "a Trip to Cuba
-ApOpIexy the Cause.

HAVANA, March 14-Consul General Lee
received the following telegram this after
noon from Walter B. Barker, United States
consul at Sagua la Grande: ''The wife of
Senator Thurston died on the Anita to-day.
Shall give every attention and wire you
from Boca.'
Meagre advices say that Mrs. Thurston
died Of apoplexy about s 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 Congress
man Smith and Congressman Cummings,
who went to Sagua by rail. The passage
from Havana to Matanzas was very rough
and that to Sagua even worse. 1t is thought
that this, together with the rough passage
down the coast, may have FASTENED the end
but nothing definite is known here as to the
circumstances o. Mrs. Thurston's death or
as TO the time and place of the funeral.
