THE National Association of Demo-
cratic Clubs urges that the birthday of
Thomas Jefferson, April IS, be duly OBJ
served by the democratic clubs
throughout the union as heretofore
The doctrines of the authorities for
the declaration of independence and
the founder Of the democratic party
tried and tested by more than a CEN
tury's experience under varying cir
cumstances, and now at length uni
versally conceded to be the corner
stone Of free Institutions, which NAV
not be disturbed without ruin to the
republic, cannot be too frequently eX-
pounded or too strenuously enforced.
"A fresh recurrence to them by the
democratic clubs Of the United States
is especially appropriate and even ne
cessary at this time when new terri
tories are being Incorporated with the
old and distant peoples are being
brought under the jurisdiction of our
federal union and essentially repubi-
can federal government.

on the roll of the national association
which celebrate the day shall forward
minutes of their proceedings to these

Every officer was intently looking for
every scrap of information as to the
progress being made by Otis gallant
expeditionary force. 1t was noted that
the movement was being executed like
clock work.
1t was necessarily one of great
rapidity, yet the officials noted with
delight the perfection of the arrange
ments as revealed in the press dis
patches; the rapid work of the signal
men, well up with the troops in the
advance, running their wires; the am
bulance corps close up to the fighting
lines and the pressing forward of the
supplies
1t was said at the department that
Otis had under his command at Manila
and vicinity about $1,000 soldiers,
Aguinaldo, according to Otis last re-
port, had about 10000 armed men.
Cen. Corbin estimates that the Ameri-
can flying column in action today was
about 10000 strong. The insurgents
acting to Otis had about 1900 men in
line. But Aguinaldos reserve, Is. 900
strong, is not far distant from the
scene of the hardest fighting: indeed.
1t is suspected that some of them, in
Guiding the leader himself NAV have
peeh drawn into today's struggle, in
which case the odds would appear to
nave been heavily against the Ameri-
cans. The latter appear to be taking
full advantage of the great assistance
to be found in the possession of the
railroad, for their movement today was
generally parallel to the road al all
points.

narily intelligent. She dresses becom-
ingly. She came to The Spy office last
night to tell her side of the story. She
said in part:
ct have lived for Frank Swanstrom.
I idolized him, but he was so awfully
jealous. An old, old man who has a
wife and nine children sold me eggs,
and Frank became Jealous and told me
to buy my eggs elsewhere. He has been
drinking for several weeks and my
folks wanted me to leave him.
81 left the boarding house to please
my folks, and L was a little afraid OF
him.
Il owned that restaurant, and he
never put a dollar into it. My father
bought the place The deeds are in
my name, but to please Frank, | called
it Swanstrom's cafe.
4 have bought him nearly every
thing he wanted for three years, and
he would come into the restaurant and
take the last cent out of the drawer
l went to the chief of police for fear
he would kill me or kill himself. Fri
day morning he came to the place and
made me promise l would come to the
house Friday afternoon. l was busy
and could not go; then he sent me a
letter asking me to meet him at City
Hall at 7.30 o'clock.
I'VE met there and my sister was
with me. and accompanied him home
he showed me bottle that he said
contained poison, and he acted very
nervous and begged me to not leave
him.
He threw both arms around my neck
and said: Annie, you will never see me
again / am going to die tonight.
threw both arms around his neck ano
begged Of him not TO take the poison.
Il was at % Washington street wher
he took the poison and they, came
there and awolSe me and told me Frnni
was dead"
Annie said that the statements thai
she had another lover We're false. She
said she loved Frank too well to have
another but he was crazy and has beer
so for sometime
In her restaurant, at 80 Park street
last evening, Annie declared that she
would soon follow her lover, as the dis
grace and notoriety she could not
stand.
She has not been allowed to see her
lover since he was taken to Under
taker Bernstrom's morgue. His friends
she says refused her admission.
Swanstrom paid a visit to Green's
pharmacy about 5 o'clock Friday after
noon, and asked for cents worth OF
cyanide of potassium. Clerk Worther
would not sell him the drug, as he
states that when he asked Swanstrom
what he wanted it for, he turned pale
and acted &C if he had been taken with
a sudden chill.
it is thought that Swanstrom took
about half ounce of the poison, and
that. in order to not taste it, he placed
1t In a bottle which contained pare.
goric. This bottle was found at the
dead mans side.
SWansuom told every one that his
love for Annie was so great that il
would be a pleasure to die for her.
