TRURSTON SPERS OF TllE IOlRlRIIL1 CONDIrION OF TIE CUISANS. Use Wax III Cuba With IJIM' Wife and She Died While There-Iter Dying Its quest Wits That Mir. Thurston Lose No Time in Doing What Ile Could to Free .uba. Washington, D. C., March 21. Senator Thurston delivered a quiet, impassioned speech in the senato to day on the Cuban question, and it was given the closest attention. The speech created an impression as no speech yet delivered on the subject, and during its delivery a pin could have boon hoard to drop. 'iR. THURSTON SPEAKS. "Mr. President," said Mr. Thurs ton, "I am here by command of si. lent lips to speak once and for all upon the Cuban agitation. I trust that no one has expected anything sensational from me. God forbid that the bitterness of a personal loss should induce te to color in the slightest degree the statement that I fool it my duty to make. I shall on donvor to be honest, conservative and just. I have no purpose to stir the public passion in any action not nec essary and imperative to meet the duties and necessities of American responsibility, Christian humanity and national honor. I would shirk this task if I could, but I daro not, I cannot satisfy my conscience except by speaking and speaking now." Mr. Thurston said he had gone to Cuba firmly believing that the con dition of affairs on the island had been greatly exaggerated and that lie bad directed the efforts in the first instance to the exposuro of the supposed exaggerations. le had concluded, however, that an over statement of the horrors of the situ ation was impossible. Ho was pro pared, lie stated, not only to adopt every word of the careful, concise and specific statoment of the sonator from Vermont (Mr. Proctor), but lie was even convinced that ho had un der-stated the facts. Under the inhuman policy of Woy lor not less than 40,000 self-sup porting, simiplo, peaceable, defonse less country people were driven from their homies in the agricultural por tions of the Spanish provinces to the cities and imprisoned upon the bar ron waste outside the residence por itions of these cities and twithm the lines of entrenchment established a little way beyond. Their huminblo hiomes wtere burned, thoiu fields laid wvasto, their iu.ple moer. ts of husb)and ry destroyed, their livestock and food supplies for the most part confiscated. Most of these people woero old men, wvomen and children. Slow starvation was their inevitable fate. A conservative esti mate indicates that 210,000 of these people have already perished from .starvation. The gov-ernent of Spain has nuov or contributed one dolhar to house shelter, feed or prov'ido medical at tontion for those of its own citizens, Such a spectacle exceeds the scenes of the inferno, as painted by Dante. HiOnnhORs (iF TiHE S(CENE. In detailing the incidents and re citing the facets that came under his observation, Mr-. Thurston said he had no desire to deal in horrors. "If I had my way," lhe said, "I wvould shield them in puiblic even if the photographic productions of t.he aw fil scenes that I vieweod in all their original ghastliness." Of the 225,000 Spain had sent to Cuba less than 00,000 wvere nowv availah!o for duty. The remainder are dead, sick in the hospitals or re .turned to Spain incapacitated. It is currently reported :37,000 nre now sick in hospitals on thle island. Thme army wvas in poor condition anid un der lax disciplhne. "'I do not believe,'' saidI he, ''t.hat the entire Spanish army in Cuba could stand an engagement in the open field against 20,000 well disci plined American soldiers." "The pictures in the American newvspap)ers of the st arving reconcon trades narc true. "Men, wonmon and clhi ldrion stand silent, famishing.

"I say that the time has come when muskets ought to go with the food. I shall refer to these horrible things no further. They are thero, God pity mo; I have soon thout; they will remain in my mind forever-and this almost tho twentieth century. Christ died 1000 years ago, and Spain is a Christian nation; she has set up more crossos in more lands, beueath more skies and under them has butchered more people than all nations combined. "Europo may tolerate her exis tenco as long as the people of the old world wish. God grant that be fore another Chrit-nas morning the last vestige of Spanish tyranny and oppression will havo vanished from the westorn hemisphoro." Discussing the remedy which should be applied to tho evils ho found Mr. Thurston said: "I counsoled silence and modera tion from this floor when the pas sion of the nation somed at white heat over. the destruction of the Maine; but it seems to me the timo for acting has now como. No action in the Maine case. I hopo and trust that this governmont will take action on the Cuban situation entirely out side of the Maine caso. When the Maino report is received if it be found that our ship and sailors were blown up by some outside explosive wo will have ample reparation with out quibble or delay, and if the ex. ,losion can bo traced to Spanish of. ficial sources there will be such swift and terriblo punishmer.t adjudged as will remain a ,warning to the world forever. "What shall the United States (10, Mr. PresidentY" For answer Mr. Thurston, as a re publican, turned to the last national platform of his party, which declar. ed that "the United States should actively use its influence and good oflicos to restoro peace and give in dependonce to the island." "In accepting the nomination ten dored him by the convention, which had adopted the Cuban plank with a mighty shout, William McKinley had said, 'Tho platform adopted by. the republican convention has ro eoived my careful consideration and has iy unqualified approval.' "It was the p)lain duty or the pres ident, of the United States to give to the liberal mninistr-y of Spain a rca sqnab)le time in which to test its pro posed autonomy. TIhat time has b)een given. A.utonomy is conceded thle wide world over to be a conspic uous failure. The situation in Ouba has only changed for tIhe worse. Sf gasta is p)oworless; Blanco is power loss to put, an end to tile conflict. to rehabilitate the island, or to relieve the sufforirng, starvation and dis tress. "The time for act ion has come.

Washington, March 25.--Presi dent McKinley talked freely with his Congressional visitors today,.both in regard to his plans for the future and his appreciatipn of the situation with reference to Cuba. His pro gram as thus outlined isas follows: To send the report 'of the Maine Court of Inquiry to Congress on Monday, without recommendation and without explanation on his part further than to say that he has ac quainted Spain with the finding of the Court; to follow this Tucaday or Wednesday with a message deal ing with the condition of the non combatants in Cuba and asking for an appropriation of $500,000 for their immediate relief; to present a now this connition to Spain, ask that country to make provisions for the care of her own helpless people and to come to some terms with tho Ci bans which will be satisfactory to thon, aind put an end to the war. This failing, to forcibly intervono on humanitarian grounds. The President indicated to his callers an abiding faith that peaco still may be preserved and a detor nation on his part to accomplish that end if it may be done with honor to our own country and without disre garding the demands of humanity. He frankly and repeatedly averred today his desire to prevent conflict, while at the same timo indic;%ting a firm purpose to secure relief for the starving reconcontrados. Indeed, the latter purposo appeared to be the topic uppermost in the Presi. dont's mind. He dwelled upon the, fact that the recognition of belli gorent rights or of. independence would not be of any material service to these unfortunates. Ho admitted that such action might be of assist ance to the men at arms, the insur gent army, but they, he said, have shown a compacity to take care of themselves, and do not stand in press ing need of our kind offices. The President belioves Spain will interpose no obstacles to our send ing succor to her indigent people, and he will ask Congress to act pr(mptly, that the aid to be given may not arrive too late to relieve the present pressing necessities. This dlone, the President is hope fuil that Congress will remain quiet wvhile the executive branch of the government continues its ell'orts to secure a PEAcFUL sETTLE:MENT of the difficulty. He thinks it nmot too late to do this, and he made the assertion today that Spain was will to moet the United States half wvay in adjusting thli entanglement. with out coming to blows. Hie referred only casually to the sailing of Spain's torpedo fleot, leav ing the impression on the minds of his visitors that ho considered that so far in this matter Spain is acting within the bounds of her owvn rights, andl that no just complaint can be made by this country in regard to this course. Lie did not enter into details re garding the propositions he may make or may have made to Spain, for undoubtedly some are now pend ing, b)ut lie left the impression that he would be satisfied with no settle ment that would not give the Cubans -a very liberal formi of government. lie admitted frankly that autonomy had proved a failure, and exp)ressed the op)inion that it would be as diffi cult to satisfy the Americans with any settlement that might bo made as it would be to satisfy the Cubans themselves. I-o reasserted the pos5 sibility of securing an agreement on the part of Spain to allow Cuba to conduct her owvn aff'airs with abso lute freedom, except that the island should be required t o pity the mother country a suflicient sum in the ,ay of tribiuto every year out of her revenues, seeming to think that this would form a basis upon which both Spain and1( the Cubans coulId agree withouit thme sacrifice of too maclh pride on either side. D)EsIaE FORl PEiAcR. Mr. McKinley reverted often in his conmversat.ionms to his desires to mlain tain pewc, anid dwelt upon the fact that war meant not only the loss of life and p)roperty, but that it also would Injure our conInorce, dis turb business conditions genor:dly, incease our publi debt, a to .. pensio rolls and reanilt irazxy ways to our disadyantage and' distress. Et also uIdo. it clear I bat, whatever ourse he might pursue in the fit tire, he ,would not at present, do. inuid any indemllity at the hands of Spain for the l9s of the Maine, pro. rerring to 1.eavo that matter to the djustment-of-a more quiet period. Tihn President also spoke of possiblQ -oiplications with other nations, but did not ianifost uneasiness cu this score. Sonators who have visited the President havo. without exception, to far can bo learned, assured him that the 1onato aipprCeiates -his of forts to preserve peace under proper 3onditions, and havo told him tha there is io danger of precipitate ite tion in that body. They got the imm pression that if the worst comes, and it is absolutely dotor ined that no r'her courso will aviN, 'ho President will be found ready for armed inter vontion. On the source of politics Io -as 3uros thom that he would rather see the Republican party fail of future success than to wage an unjust war; but that if war must como, it must be a war for humanity and that this fact made so evidpnt that. ho will havo the entiro nation behind him in a conflict at arms.

It is true wisdom for every body to take a thorough course of Swift's Specific just at this season of the year. The blood is sluggish and impoverished, and the system is full of impurities which should be eliminated. In addition to thoroughly cleansing the blood, and toning up the system so as to avoid loss of appetite and a gen eral ruin-dlown feeling ini thIie spring, S. S. S. so strengthens and builds up as to fortify against t.ho many forms of dangerous illness that abound during the hot sum mer season. It is a very small matter to take this p)recautioni but it insures health and1 strength all summer. Swift's Specific S.S.S.%0Blood is far ahead of all othe~r remedies for this purpose. It is a real blood remedy whlich promptly purifles the blood and thoroughly renovates the entire system, tones and strengthens the stomach, and renews the appetite. It is the only safe tonic, being purely vege table, and the only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no arson ic, sulphur, mercury, potash or other mineral substance, which is of so much importance to all who know the injurious effects of those drugs.
