SENATOR THuRsToN

word Of the careful, concise and specific
statement Of the Senator from Vermont
| (Mr. Proctor), but was even convinced
that he had under-stated the facts.
In detailing the incidents and recitine
the facts that came under his observa-
tion, Mr.. Thurston said he had no desire
to deal In horrors.
'If had my way" said he. II would
shield the American public even from
the Photographic reproductions Of the
awful scenes that viewed in all their
original ghastliness."
OF the 225000 soldiers Spain had sent
to Cuba, less than 10000 were now avail
able for duty. The remainder are dead
sick In hospitals or returned to Spain.
incapacitated.
II do not believe" said he, that the
entire Spanish army could stand an en-
gagement in the open field against 200(
we'll disciplined American soldiers. The
Spanish soldiers, of all people on earth
would most gladly welcome any result
which would enable them to return to
their homes.
1.-THE pictures in the American papers
Of the starving reconcentrados are true.
They can all be duplicated by the tlous-
ands. never saw. and, please God, may
I never again see, so deplorable a sight
as the reconcentrados in the suburbs OF
Matanzas. can never forget to my dy-
ing day the hopeless anguish in their
despairing eyes.
"Men, women and children stand ST.
lent. famishing! Their only appeal
comes from their sad eyes, through
which one looks as though an open win
dow, into their agonizing souls.
"The Governor of Matanzas said he
could see no end to this condition OF
affairs and could suggest no relief ex-
cept through the United States.
1.-THE government Of Spain will not ap-
propriate one dollar to save these peo-
ple," said Mr.. Thurston. "Think Of the
spectacle!
I'VE are feeding these citizens OF
Spain; we are nursing their sick; we are
saving such as can be saved, and vet
there are those who still say 1t Is right
for us to send food, but we must keen
hands off. say that the time has come
when muskets ought to 60 with the
food!
II shall refer to these horrible things
no further. They are there. God pity
me; have seen them! They will remain
in my mind forever-and this Is almost
the twentieth century,!
"Christ died 1900 years ago, and Spain
is Christian nation. She has set uu
more crosses in more lands. beneath
more Skies and under them has butch
cred more people than all the other ma
tions Of the earth combined.
Europe may tolerate her existence
as long as the people Of the other world
wish. God grant that before another
Christmas morning, the last vestige OF
Spanish tyranny and oppression will
have vanished from the western hemi-
sphere"
Discussing the remedy which should
be applied, Mr.. Thurston said:
Il counseled silence and moderation
from this floor when the passion of the
nation seemed at white heat over the
destruction Of the battleship Maine: but
1t seems to me the time for action has
now come. Not action in the Maine
case. hope and trust that this govern
ment will take action on the Cuban
situation entirely outside of the Maine
case. When the Maine report is re-
ceived. II It be found that our ship and
our sailors were blown up by soma out

PORTLAND. Ore, March N.-The three

Mrs. Thurston's dying request to hel

on account of her death to do his ut

In accordance with this request, there.

personal feeling and delivered his speech
"a speech that was tribute to the
memory of his wife. without knowing
the motive which animated Mr.. Thurstor
and inspired him to his best efforts, his
auditors instinctively realized and sym.

Germany is urging itself into the situ-

try to urge itself out again after discover
ing what hot thing your Uncle Samuel

especially SO when hampered by a lot of

ment is frequently irresistible. The adj
ministration has trailed out the Spanish
war for apparently no other reason than
to see how long it really can take when
one has time and some to spare. But
the results will be so overwhelmingly
disastrous to Spain that it is in the in
terest Of humanity to let Spain into the

poor benighted dons with one blow.
Germany shouldn't forget that expert

ere long be able to give her run for the
