BlsMARCK's, DEATH IN LONDON.
This Mornings Papers All Give the
Dead Statesman q Great Deal
flG


LONDON, Aug. 1.-The space the morn
ing papers to-day devote to Prince Bis
rlarck alone is ample testimony that the
man of the century has disappeared.
He was greater than Napoleon says
the Daily Graphic, for. his work endures.
He w&s the greatest personality of his
century, the pivot on which everything OF
Importance in the history of Europe has
turned"
The obituary in the Times occupies thir
teen columns. His Geath.' says the pa
per- removes the greatest personality in
Europe. His career was altogether Il
nance. With all his faults, he has re-
manned for most of his countrymen more
of demi-god than an ordinary mortal
The Daily News says: we. may say of
Bismarck that he was the incarnation, with
human limits, of the Germanic conception
of the universe as WILL
The Daily Telegraph, the Daily Nail and
the other morning papers publish eulogistic
editorials
The Times editorially this morning says:
Since the first Napoleon, death has
claimed no greater figure. Bismarck was
one of the few men of whom his contem-
poraries can predict with some assurance
that his work Will endure
The Standard says: I'VE may feel that
our existence has been rendered larger and
more significant by the fact that Bismarck
was our contemporary. His character,
genius and achievements Were so colossal
that it is perfectly safe to prophesy for
him not Il lofty, but permanent niche in
the temple OF renown.'
The Morning Post. comparing him with
Cromwell and Richelieu says: To pOsteri-
ty he may appear even greater than they.
If in his retirement he sometimes expressed
the wrath which was his most character
istic emotion. his perturbed spirit will find
rest in the knowledge that, after all. he
left his most ardent disciple on the throne
of which he was the master builder.
| The Daily Chronicle, contrasting Glad
stone and Bismarck, says:
| Gladstone left national legacy of en-
lightened, generous and democratic legis-
| laton, a name loved and revered by other
peoples hardly less than by his own. Bis
marck's monument is a crest of bayonets;
and he goes to his grave without the hom-

own land"
| Proceeding in savage attack upon the
deceased German statesman, the Daily
| Chronicle remarks: TO him, more than

Europe resoundS to-day with the tramp OF
armed millions. His huge strength, his

his colossal triumphS are a proof forever

STORY OF CUBA'S FLAG.
1t Was Designed by General Narciso
Lopez, Who Died in De-
Tending 1t,

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Few persons know the history and mean
ing of the flag of Cuba libre. 1t is seen
everywhere. floating bravely with the stars
and stripes, entwined with them in win
dows. or the two worn side by side on the
breasts of patriots.
The American flag tells the history of
America. When We look upon it We read
how thirteen dauntless colonies fought for
liberty and Of the growth of a mighty
nation. Every star and stripe is replete
with meaning.
A reporter called at the house of Dr.
John Guiteras. of the University of Penn
sylvania, celebrated as u physician and
as the Pennsylvania representative of the
Cuban junta. He asked the doctor for an
explanation of the ensign of the country.
The story was not disappointing. II was
interesting and fascinating 1t dated
back to the days of romance and adven-
ture. when General Narciso Lopez some
time officer in the Spanish army. after
ward revolutionst and fiiibuster. first
championed the cause Of Cuba Libre.
Though born in Venezuela. Lopez loved
his adopted people. Seeing the oppression
and misery under which they groaned. he
resigned his commission in the ranks Of
Spain and came to the United States. Here
which to conquer the Pearl of the Antilles
and free it from the heavy yoke of the
mother country.
DR.. Guiteras seemed pleased to tell the
story of his flag. Il have never seen 1t
published in the United States" he said.
THE flag WAS designed by General Lopez
in 1851, when, for the second time, he In
vaded Cuba. 1t was first raised at Car
denas in that same year. The five stripes
stand fer the five departments into which
Cuba was then divided. The colors Of
the American flag and the lone star were
adopted because this movement of General
Lopez had some tendency to annexation.
Texas. formerly the Lone Star state, had
had her ambition gratified. She had been
admitted to the Union six years before.
The Cuban flag indicated the generals wish
that this lone star, new risen, should soon.
alas, be placed among the others on the
glorious ensign of the United States. When
Lopez was asked why he had placed the
said: I want TO be rebel in everything.
even against heraldry.' The original de-
signs and the first Cuban flag ever made
are at present in possession of Marciso A.
Villaverde, a Cuban patriot, of New York
city.
You may also say" said DR.. Guiteras.
that there is some question as to the
shade of blue of the Cuban flag. The
Cubans seem to prefer u light blue. but
l have always maintained that the colorS
should be those of the American flag
so the story of the flag of Cuba libre
is the story of tine beginning of her strug-
gle against oppression. Forty-eight years
ago il seemed as though the efforts OF
General Lopez had been in vain. His sxpe-
ditiCn failed. The same year he raised the
lone star over the captured citadel OF Car
denas. he was taken prisoner by the Span
iards, carried to Havana and garrotted.

When at the foot of the bel H4ggerty

were exchanged and Morgan was driven
back to the door Of the tent, where he
fell over the foot OF bed with H4ggerty

their feet Morgan cried out, "Oh, Jesus,
boys, he's got a knlfel" The two men

and after a short stru ygle outside Morgan
fell to the ground dead.
The coroner, sheriff and Dr. Eily were
notified and went up on the first train

found In the valley between Tillman's e

week S,een was at Tillman's the night
before and stated that he would leave the
next morning for the Kiondike mines. Il

ley and becoming i'll died before help
reached him. Mr.. Steen had been i'll for
several months past, and while In Chlor-
ide was reported to be "flghty." Judge
Hughes, Of Chloride, went out yesterday

In connection with the death Of Tom

Park fourteen years ago, and Jack S,een
died 10 a snowstorm near L ,ramie, Wyo
ming few years afterward. About a
year ago Robert Steen was caved on in a
mine in Southern California, and had a
narrow escape from death, being still a
sufferer from the injuries then received.
Thomas S,een was good hearted man,
OF quiet and peaceful disposition. His
death will be regretted by all his &C
quaintances, and especially by the old
timers with whom he / as been familiar
