Deaths BetrothaI.

A few years ago New York newspaper
conducted an open discussion upon the
topic Is Marriage a Failure ?b The
answer is easy and upon the surface. Where
there is mutual love and respect il there is
also health, marriage is success When
health is left out, even the most ardent love
does not count, and marriage is invariably
failure.
Modern science has cried the warning
so often that all should realize the dangers
of wedlock TO people in ill-health In a
case of this kind death turks on every side
in the kiss of betrothal and the caress of
the honeymoon. The man who is suffering
from ill-health is physical bankrupt, AMI
has no right TO condemn a woman to be his
nurse for life and the mother of babes that
inherit his physical weakness DR. Pierce's

outside of sensational sources. They
were made of our medical officers. Of
our consuls. OF city alcaldes [mayorsl.
81 relief committees. of leading mer-
chants and bankers. physicians and
lawyers. Several of my informants
were Spanish born. but every time the
answer was that the case had not been
overstated. What / saw i cannot tell so
that others can see it,"
After paying high compliment TO
the work OF the Red Cross under Miss
Barton the senator closed as follows:
IF our people could see a small frac-
ton OF the need they would pour more
freely from their liberal store than
ever before for any cause. When will
the need for his help end? Not until
peace comes and the reconcentrados
can go back to their country, rebuild
their homes. reclaim their tillage plots
which quickly run up to brush in that
wonderful soil and clime-and until
they can be free from danger of molesta-
ton in so doing. Until then the Amer
lean people must in the main care for
them. 1t is true that the alcaldes, 9TH
er local authorities. and relief commit
tees are now trying to do something
and desire, l believe, TO do the best
they can. But the problem is beyond
their means and capacity and the work
is one to which they are not ac-
customed."
II have endeavored 10 state in not
Incorporate mood what saw and
heard and TO make no argument there
on. but leave every one to draw his own
conclusion. To me the strongest appeal
is not the barbarity practiced by Wey-
Ter nor the loss of the Maine-if our
worst fears should prove true-terrible
as are both of these incidents: but the
spectacle Of a million and half of peo-
pie. the entire native population of
Cuba. struggling for freedom and deliv-
erance from the worst misgovernment
of which / ever had knowledge. But
whether our action ought not to be in
fuenced by any one or all these things
and If So how far, is another question
L am not in favor of anneXation-not
because l would apprehend any partic-
ular trouble from II. but because IL is
not wise policy TO take in any people of
foreign tongue and training and with
out any strong guiding American ele-
ment. The fear that If free the people
of Cuba would be revolutionary is not
so we'll founded as has been supposed
and the conditions for good self-govern-
ment are far more favorable. The large
number of educated and patriotic men,
the great sacrifices they have endured
the peaceful temperament of the people
whites and blacks-the wonderful pros
perity that would surely come with
peace and good home rule, the large in
fiux of Americans and English immi-
grafton and money, would all be strong
factors for stable institutions. But ii is
not my purpose at this time. nor do l
consider it my province to suggest any
plan. / merely speak Of the symptoms
as / saw them. but do not undertake to
prescribe. Such remedial steps as may
be required may safely be left to an
American president and the American
people"

WHAT REASON FOR A PARDON?

as Stated Here.


Ionia, Mich, March 21.-In the GRIM
inal asylum here a cell has for three
years been occupied by James Apple
yard of Minneapolis, Mimi. Apple
yard was betrothed to a beautiful Min
neapolis girl. The young woman Wis
tied friends at Cheboygan. Mich, and
there met a dentist named Gahan. He
spent money freely for carriage riding,
boating and excursions, and soon APP
pleyard's sweetheart forgot her vows.
Her visit was prolonged until one day
she found that she would become a
mother. She returned home, begged
Appleyard to release her, and told him
the truth.
The young man said: II love you
madly; you must be my wife" They
were married at once, and the bride
became mother i'm a Chicago hospital
Appleyard visited Gahan at Cheboygan,
representing himself as the wronged
girls brother, and cleverly drew out
the admission that Gahan really loved
the girl and wanted to marry her Then
without a word OF warning Appleyard
shot Gahan. When pronounced guilty,
Appleyard became a maniac, and has
never been sentenced, although for
nearly year he has been considered
sane. Judge Adams, his trial Judge,

Proctor read his speech from manu-

the reports that he was in any sense an
agent OF the government He went to
Cuba to satisfy himself Of the facts
that could be seen and heard. In the
course OF his speech he said: 1T has

Situation on the Island of Cuba.
After stating that the only sign Of
war at Havana was the soldiers he con-
tinued: Outside Havana all is changed.
1t is not peace. nor is ii war. 1t is des-
olation and distress, misery and starva-
ton. Every town and village is sur
rounded by a trocha [trenchl, a sort of
rifle pit, but constructed on plan new
to me. From all the surround
ing country the people have been driv-
en- into these fortified towns and held
there to subsist as they can. They are
virtually prison yards. Every railroad
station is within one OF these trochas
and has an armed guard. Every train
has an armored freight car, loopholed
for musketry, and filled with soldiers,
and pilot engine in advance.
Country Is swept of Inhabitants.
with this exception there Is no hu-
man life or habitation between these
fortified towns and villages, and
throughout the whole Of the four west
ern provinces-except to a very limited
extent among the hills where the Span
iards have not been able. to go and
drive the people TO the towns and burn
their dwellings l saw no house OF hut
in the 400 miles of railroad rides from
Pinar del Rio province in the west
across the full width of Havana and
Matanzas provinces. and to Sagua la
Grande on the north shore and to Glen
fuegos on the south shore of Santa
Clara, except within the Spanish
trochas. There are no domestic animals
or crops on the rich fields and pastures
except such as are under guard in the
Immediately vicinity of the towns. In
other words, the Spaniards holds these
four western provinces just what their
army sits on. This is the pacified' con-
dition OF the four western provinces"

CONDITION OF RECOMMENDATIONS.
Says That 100000 People Have Died as a
Result of Weyler's Order.


Result of Weyler's Order.
The senator explained how the people
living in the country were ordered into
these towns by General Weyer and
then left living in sanitary condition
that is "unmentionable.' He said:
Deaths in the streets have not been
uncommon. / was told by one Of our
consuls that they have been found
dead about the markets in the morning
where they had crawled, hoping to get
some stray bits of food from the early
hucksters, and that there had been
cases where they had dropped dead in
side the market surrounded by food
These people were Independent and
self-supporting before Weyler's order
They are not beggars even now.
Before starting l received through
the mail a leaflet published by The
Christian Herald, with cuts of some of
the sick and starving reconcentrados
and took it with me, thinking these
were rare specimens got up to make
the worst possible showing.
'I saw plenty as bad and worse:
many that should not be photographed
and shown. / could not believe that
out Of a population OF 100000, 200, 900
had died within these Spanish forts
practically prison walls-within a few
months past from actual starvation and
diseases caused by insufficient and inn
proper food. My inquiries were entirely
