HIS DEAD BODY FOUND.
Under His Overturned Wagon-Hi
 Horse Waited

f
 Horse Waited Danbury, May 20.-The dead body of Nelson Thorn, farmer, aged thirty six, was found under his overturned carriage in the village of Westville just outside this city, this morning. The horse was still hitched to the wagon and there were no evidences that he had run away.
 Thorn started out for drive alone yesterday afternoon. He did not re- turn and his wife and three children became worried about him.
 It is believed that he had lain under the overturned buggy alljnight and as the dashboard was pressed down across his neck the, medical examiner gave suffocation as the cause of death.
 The horse had apparently stood for hours waiting for some one to come and disantangle the wreck

SURRENDER OF GEN. LAcUNA
Oath of Allegiance Taken-North Luzon
 Pacified.


 Pacifed.
 Manila, May 20.-General Lacuna with his entire force of thirty-one off, cers and 245 rifiemen,, surrendered to General Funston yesterday. They were liberated, after taking the oath of alleg lance to the United States. With the surrender of Generals Lacuna and Ale jandrino there is not an armed insur- gent in Bulucan and only thirty rifle men in Nueva Ecija, and it is expected that these will soon surrender. General Funston says that if an investigation shows that any of the rebels who have just surrendered were implicated in any violation of the laws of war or guilty of murder he can easily find them.
 General Wheaton telegraphs as fol- lows: "All the insurgent leaders in North Luzon have surrendered, termin- ating the war in this part of the coun- try, so far as armed resistance to Amer ica is concerned"
 General Moxica, with four officers and twenty men, surrendered to Major Gill more, of the Forty-third infantry, at Baybay, Island of Leyte, on Saturday.

while their opponents
were generally opposed to such pro-
ceeding.
Mr.. Jefferson, the Apostle of De-
mocracy, was a strong annexationist
aud an expansionist as well. In a let
ter President Madison, written April
9th, 1909, less than two months after
the beginning of the latter's first
term as the National Executive, he
argued in favor of the acquisition of
Cuba by the United States. His views
on the subject never underwent a
change, for twice in June, 1923, he
wrote to President Monroe to the
same effect. He evidently regarded
the acquisition of Cuba at that time
as intensely desirable. The letters re-
ferred to were written June II and %,
respectively, and in that on the latter
date he said: Her (Cuba's) addition
to our confederacy is exactly what is
wanted to round out our power as
nation to the point of its utmost in
terest.' He evidently regarded ac-
Jion looking to that result as not only
desirable but urgent. In the same
year John Quincy Adams, then Presi-
dent Monroe's Secretary of State, ex-
pressed the views of the admlnistra-
ton as favorable to the acquisition of
of Cuba. Mr.. Monroe is claimed to
have been a Democrat. President
Polk, a Democrat, in 1S4S instructed
the American Minister at Madrid to
propose the purchase of Cuba from
Spain, an offer which was Indignantly
rejected as an insult.
The Sentinel has heretofore called
attention to the Ostend Manifesto.
This was paper prepared in 1854 by
the United States Ministers at Lon
don, Paris:and Madrid, all Democrats,
of course, in which they advised and
urged the Secretary of State that a
fair offer should be made to Spain for
the purchase of Cuba, and that, if it
were rejected, the island should then
be taken by force. One of these Min
lister, Mr.. Buchanan, became Presi-
dent of the United States in 1857, and
in his second, third and fourth an
nual messages urged the purchase of
Cuba and declared that the possession
OF the island would be of great i'm
portance to the United States.
The record of the opposition to the
Democratic party on the Cuban ques-
ton, while of less intent, is not less
emphatic; but it is on the other side.
For instance, Henry Clay, then Secre-
tary of State, wrote to Edward Ever
EFT, in April, 1927, that if the acquisi-
ton of Cuba were desirable there was
then mo reasonable prospect of eff
fecting that object The Cuban
question was not referred to again by
any anti-Democratic administration
until 1869, when President Grant, in
his first annual message, declared
that the United States had no dispo-
sition to interfere with the Spanish
ownership of Cuba, but hoped to see
the island eventually become an in
dependent power. Hamilton Fish,
President Grants Secretary of State,
in February, 1874, asserted that Cuba
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-05-09

ought to belong to the great family
of American republics" and that 1.-The
desire of independence on the part of
the Cubans is a natural and legiti-
mate aspiration" This aspiration,
he said, was approved by the United
States.
Thus far, it must be said and ac-
knowledged, that no Republican ad-
ministration has taken any other
ground upon the question. During
President McKinley's first term the
United States delivered Cuba from
the CALLING yoke of Spain, and this
government is now employing its best
efforts to establish an Independent
and selfgoverning nation upon the
island. Whether the effort will sue
coed is predetermined, but it will be
given an honest trial. No other
course could be pursued with honor
by the United States, and charges of
insincerity and Interior motives made
by the Democratic party, against
the administration of President Nc
Kinley, are unjust and without foun-
dation in fact. If Cuba ever comes to
the United during a Republican ad-
ministration, it will be by the volun-
tary action of her people.-Westmin-
ster Sentinel.

Fire Sweeps Jacksonville.

Jacksonville, Fla, was swept by an
awful conflagration on Friday last.
An epitome of the disaster is as fol-
lows:
The fire started at 1245 p. III. and
was gotten under control at 1915
p. III.
The damage to property is estima-
ted by the mayor of the city at S15,-
100000.
Six lives are reported to have been
lost.
The flames burned oyer space two
and half miles long by half mile
wide, including practically all the fine
buildings in the city. One hundred
and thirty blocks and part of another
were destroyed. Over 1900 hundred
houses are in ruins.
The City Hall and the other munic-
ipal building were burned. Six hotels
were laid in ashes. Ten thousand
person were made homeless.
The Jacksonville military compan-
les were called out and nearby cities
sent help to fight the blaze. Dyna-
mite was freely used to destroy build
ings in the fires path and prevent it
from spreading.
The flames started from wire fall
ing into fiber factory.

FOR SHERIFF.


''Non-partisan" papers, edited by
partisans, are the most patent hum
bugs of the age. In commenting up
on public matters they start out non
partisan, but wind up partisan. They
are simply frauds. A partisan paper
is the more to be admired. 1t sacra-
fees patronage for principle. 1t is
more honest, for it does not play for
both sides, and does not pretend to
be anything than partisan. There is
nothing antagonistic to honesty in
being partisan, and there is every in
ducement to dishonesty in being non
partisan or independent. The most
despicable object is partisan who
pretends to conduct a non-partisan
or independent paper, and then by
his acts endorses every principle and
policy which his party espouses.-

For Those Who Wore the Blue.

In accordance with General Orders,
No. 4, headquarters Grand Army of
the Republic. April 90, 1901, and Gen
eral Orders No. II, May 5, 1868, estab-
fishing the annual decoration of the
graves of deceased comrads, Colonel
John G. Taylor, of the Department of
Maryland, has issued a general order
directing that Thursday, May 80, next
be observed as Memorial Day by the
department. Posts of the department.
in observance of established custom,
are requested to attend divine service
on the Sunday preceding Memorial
Day. Whether or not the Post here
will attend service on the Sunday
preceding is not yet decided, but
some years ago they attended in a
body.
Decoration Day will be observed
however, in the usual manner, when
the old soldiers will march in body
to the cemeteries and there pay a
tribute to their dead comrads in arms
Each recurring Memorial Day marks
the number of graves to be decorated
as greater and the marchers fewer.
The services, ritualistic in form, are
nevertheless impressive and calls to
memory the hard fought battles en-
dured, the forced marches over heavy
roads and through the woods, the
bursting of shells and the whiz of
bullets, the sharp commands of officers
and finally the roll call at the end of
each battle when the number of dead
and missing is ascertained.

THE EFFECT OF TREACHERY.

Nothing is more apparent in the re-
turns of Tuesdays election in Balti-
more than the effect of treachery in
politics. The ignominious defeat of
the Democrats prove that it is impos-
sible for party to succeed when the
conduct of its acknowledged leaders
is perfidious and treacherous. Two
years ago the Democratic party, I'M
der the leadership of the old and dis
credited bosses, donned the garb of
reform and square dealing. The mask
then worn aided the party to victory
that year. But since that time the
mask has been cast aside, the party
has gone back to it's former pernicious
practices, and in Tuesdays election
it stood menace to the well-being of
Baltimore and the State.
She unwarranted partisanship dis
played in the work of the extra ses-
sion, the subsection of the Democratic
primary election to the worst forms
of bossisn, the revival of the odious
methods of old placed the stamp of
insincerity and insecurity all over the
party's candidates. None could fail
to be impressed with the fact that
two years ago the Democracy was as
wolf masquerading in sleeps cloth
ing. While Tuesdays defeat is cause
for universal c0npratrlatiOn the i'm
preston will prevail that it would
not have been so crushing but for the
treachery shown by the Democratic
leaders toward the public and the de-
cent element of their own party.
Upon these leaders the effect of this
treachery will be most pronounced.
1t only needs repetition in the fall
election to forever extinguish the
light of the local political boss as
power in Baltimore politics. Such
defeat can and should be admins
tered. AS for Mr.. German, this much
only need be said: The possibility of
his becoming Senator of Maryland
and his party's nominee for the Pres
idency in 1904 are materially lessened.
He had fair chance before; now he
has practically none. The mistake
made by Mayor Hayes in this contest
was in ever putting trust in the prom
Uses of leaders he must have known
would play him false sooner or later.

PARTY RECORDS ON CUBAN QUESTION

PARTY RECORDS ON CUBAN QUESTION.
There are many Cuban annexation
lists in the United States, but annexa-
ton is certainly not the policy or pur-
pose of the present administration.
Undoubtedly President Mckinley is in
good faith endeavoring to promote
the organization of a government by
the Cubans themselves, which will be
able to stand alone. He approves,
however, of the action of Congress
which binds Cuba to such constitu-
tional action as will insure her proper
attitude toward the United States in
the future. The Cuban Commission
ers who visited Washington last week
were not left in doubt about the views
of the administration on that point.
They learned that the purpose of this
government is to insist upon proper
guarantees in the premises. They
learned a good deal more than this,
however. The record of the past at
titude of parties in this country in re-
lation to Cuban annexation was re-
vealed to them and they learned that
the Democrats were, as rule, the an
