Creighton hall was very fairly filled last
night with a composite audience , called to
gether to listen to an exposition of the cause
of the Insurrectionists of Cuba. It had baen
expected that the Cuban patriot , Gonzalo do
Querada , whose mission It is to arouse sym
pathy for the Cubans throughout the United
States , would be present , but ho found It
impossible to come to this city. The meeting
vay consequently transformed into a nuss
meeting , which turned out to be unanimously
nnd enthusiastically In favor of recognizing
.me struggling Cubans as belligerents , ami
iccognl/lng the- Cuban republic as soon as
possible.
The meeting was called to order by D.
Clem Dcavcr. Ho briefly announced that the
expected speaker could not ba present on
uccount of press of business. Ho gave the
gist of a letter which had been received
from him , In which he told of the manner In
which the Cubin cairio was being made
known In the principal cities of the coun
try. At a mass meeting an executive com-
iiiUtfo of fifteen or twenty persons Is ap
pointed , who apppolnt an advisory board of
EOIIIO 100 men , who represent the entire state
In which the city is situated. The members
of this board keep the Cuban question before
the public In dclgtted districts.
Mr. D.-aver Introduced Mayor Bemls n the
chairman of the meeting. The mayor spent
but a few moments In explaining the object
of tlie meeting to the audience , and then
Intiodum ! lion , John L. Webster as the
principal speaker.
Air. vvensiPT said tnat on September D tlie
formation of the Republic ut Cuba was offi
cially announced , a president and a constitu
tional assembly , on a basis similar to the
French atiembly , having ben elected. U Is
that republic ugulnst which Spain Is now
waging war. The Cubans can no longer bo
icgardi'd as n band of Insurgents or rebels ,
hut us u band of patriots , fighting for their
count ) y. The struggle Is not a clvlll/ed
warfare , but Is a revival of the cruelties of
SiunlHh war fire , which have disgraced the
history of Spain. Therefore , the little repub
lic In the vve.-tcrn hemisphere Is appealing to
America for Its national sympathy.
The tragic struggle of the Cubans to es
tablish a republic In 1869 wa related. The
speaker held that In view ot this past his
tory the renewed struggle of the Cubans for
liberty had moreof merit than that of the
Aimetilana , 'Iho latter had not an Inde
pendent government , while the- Cubans have.
Despite this fuel , however , they have been
ruled with a rod of Iron and their revolt Is
nothing more than a revolt against oppres
sion , Their appeal Is an appeal for lyinpathy
which cornea with us stirring a ring us that
\\hlch went out to Franco during our own
struggle- for liberty ,
As to Cuba's capacity for Independent gov-
friimont , Mr. Webster said that , she had all
the elements necessary. Her geographical
sltuat'on was excellent , her haibora were
kpaclous un'l her seacoast largj , her acreug
was ilchl ) productive , she had tlmb'r , ma
hogany , rare woods , coffee , tobacco and sugar ,
r v\hlch llml their way Into every country. As
u people , the Cubans were distinctively a
nationality. Even under excessive taxation
they have been prosperous. At' an argument
tl'nt congress shcuM take torn3 tteps to recog.
iilze the little republic , Mr , Webytcr spoke
of the slmllir precedents in American his
tory. The recognition of the French repub
lic In 1S4S was especially Instanced , The ac
tion of the government during the revolution
In Hungary , when an agent was u > nt to this
country lu offer congratulations and the later
tl'inand for the surrender of the patriot Ko .
tilth , was also mentioned , Throughout all
His history of tbe country the speaker held
that the renate hud been ready to recognize a
fctrugglo for liberty. The Monroe doctrine
whn rightly understood , he said , embodied
nothing more- than that , for It warned the
holy alliance to kej > Its hands off all repub
lie * established not only on the western con
tinent , but on the wen tern hemisphere , Mr.
Webster said that th cause of Cub was th
cause of America , btcausc It was to perpetu
ate and extend the liberty enthroned In till
country.
At the conclusion of Mr. Webster's sppjch
Mr , Deaver Introduced the following rcso
lutlon , 'uylng that before It was put to vet
Hon. W , J , Ilryan would speak to It :
Whereas , The pcop'e of the United State ! )
enjoying republican government thcmselve
rtrc Interested In the < - < ! tnl > ll < hment of n Elm
liar form of government throughout th
world , and
Wherca" , The citizens of Cubi arc no\
endeavoring to secure for thcmoelves th
blcsslnps of solf-govcrnment ; therefore ,
ncfOlvnl , Tlmt we , the citizens of Omnhn
rop-artllp i of party , do hereby cxpre s on
dcev iinil cainost sympathy with the peopl
of Cuba In their heroic stiiiKg'e , and
Iteeolved , That we favor their rccognltlo
by the United States as belligerents at th
earlleit po slblc moment consistent with ou
treaty obligations ,
Mr. Ilryan said ! "The only question I
whether the Cubans can be tree. Theie arne
no people fit to bo free- unless they will flpli
for freedom. Therefore It Is necessary tlm
Cuba should achieve Its own Independence
Some people say that It Is not sympathy tha
Is wanted , but that It is aid. If this Is so
then America must not only liberate Cuba
but must stand by her when llbcarted. Till
feeling should be siippiessed , because it in
volves an unsettled question , luther shouli
wo only extend our sympathy nnd urge othe
natlonH to do likewise ,
"Tills resolution Is conservative , but carrle
great weight. It shows the members of congress
gross that the American people will stan
back of them If they recognize the Cubans a
belligerents when the time arrives. It wl
do the Cubans good , for It will Inspire then
with the courage to continue the struggle , t
will do more. It will show that the state
which nro the greatest representatives o
liberty are not only satisfied with it , but wan
every other nation to have the home form o
government. "
At the conclusion of Mr. Dryan's remark
the resolution was put to a vote and It wa
passed unanimously and with gieat cnthusl
asm.
asm.Judge C. R. Scott and Thomas J. Major
also made speeches. They spuKe In a con
slderably more radical manner than clthe-r o
the others.

Nn\V YORK , Dec. 9. The World today
sayo : General Gomez has Issued the fol
lowing explanation of his order to burn
plantations :
Jo the honored men , victims of the torch
The painful measure made necessary by the
revolution for the redemption of this lam
drenched In Innocent blood ( from Hatuacy to
our own times ) by cruel and merciless Spall
will bring misery upon you. As general-ln
chief of the army of the liberation it Is my
duty to lead It to victory without permit
ting m > ! elf to be held back or terrified b >
any means necessary to place Cuba In th
shortest time in possession of her ileires
Ideal. I therefore- place the responsibility
for so grc.it ruin on those who look' ' on 1m
passively and force us to these extreme
measures , which later , fools and dolts tha
th.ey are , condemn.
After so ninny years of prayer , humtlla
tlon and death , when this people of Its own
will lias arisen In anus , there remains no
other aim but to triumph. It matters no
what means aie employed to accomplish It
Tilts people cannot hesitate between the
wealth of Spain and the liberty of Cuba
Its greatest crime would be to stain the
land with blood without effecting Its purpose
because of puerile scruples and fears vvhlcl
do not accord with the character of mei
whom we meet In the field. The war dli
uot begin on February 24 ; It Is about to
bt'gln now. The revolutionary spirit , always
magnified at the beginning by wild enthuil
aim. had to be organized , calmed and let
Into the proper channels. Tim struggle
ought to begin In obedience to a plan more
or lees methodically studied out , but whlcl
may be accommodated to the peculiarities
of this war. This has now been done. Let
Spain ut once semi her soldiers to rivet the
chains of her slaves , now that the chlldrct
of the land are In the Held armed with the
arms of llbcity. The struggle will ba ter
rible , but the end will crown the resolutioi
and coinage of the oppressed.

mitted suicide bore Saturday , was nt Kn-
hokla , Mo. A me-psago was sent to tlio mar
shal of Kahokla and n reply received to tlio
effect that her folks reside tlieVe , but stating
furlh'r that they wouU say nothing concern

of paper found In her trunk giving a list
of Christian names and dates of birth It
Is believed the girl's real name Is Carrl ?

From former residents of Keokuk ,
with whom the woman talked , tt Is
learned that \vhllc she claimed to bo a
resident of that city , she was not nt all
familiar with the city , nor with prominent
citizens , and It Is believed that she registered
In that way to assist In preventing Identifi
cation. It has also been learned that she
was engaged In the sale of some sort ol
publication , and had called upon the county
and city superintendents of schools and Ee\eral
members of the school board. She was a
frequent caller at the postofflcc , and made
inquiry as to when the mall left for Council
Bluffs The clerks say she mailed consid
erable matter to Council Bluffs parties , but
they did not take particular notice of the
names of the parties addressed. The weapon
with which the act was done was a 22-callbr
revolver , and was purchased by the woman
Friday afternoon at Dartler & Meyer's hard-
wars store. The body , which lies at the
undertaker's , has been \Iowed by hundreds
of people today.

Colorado Desert mining camp of 1'lcacho ,
near Yuma , that Mary Thurman , daughter of
Judge Thurman , has made the richest strike
known In any of the Desert camps for years
She- was prospecting In the hills and found a
vein that proml'es to make her a bonanza
queen. Mary Thurman was once the belle
of Washington and there she. married Lieu
tenant Cowl's , now United States naval at
tache in London , who recently wedded Miss
Roosevelt , sister of tlio secretary of the United
Slates embassy. Covvles and she soon dis
agreed and he permitted her to get a divorce.
Then she cairife west. Shs later married

COLUMBUS , O. , Dec. 9. When seen by
the Associated press representative this

"When my sister was last in Columbus , I
bought her inteiest In my mother's estate
something Ilko 1,000 acres of land , I believe.
I bMleve she wished the money to use In
the development of her mining Interests ,
which at that time were considerable. Her
husband , Mr. Holllday , Is an Industrious
young man , and they have been active In
prospecting and opeiatlng mining propsrty
for some time. I have not heard fiom them ,
however , and thus cannot say anything posi
tively. Of one thing you may be sure , how
ever , " smilingly added Mr. Thurman , "and
that is , I will not desert the cause of free
silver simply because we may nave a gold
mine in the family. "

In conclusion the speaker turned his at
tentlon to state constitutions. Ho declare
that the constitution of the- nation and th
constitutions of many of the states stood to
day as a monument to the past greatness an
grandeur of our country. Ho said these con
stltutlons were made for the purpose , of pro
tcctlng men and methods now dead and wer
not suited for the changed industrial cond

by a vision. Us suddenly bicame possesBC (
of tli ? belief that his wife's body had beei
taken from the grave. The Idea ' grew upon
him so strongly that he went to'a neighbor
and communicated his fears to him. Early
this morning Mr. Van Fleet went to noch-
ster cemetery , and a visit to his wife's
rave choweJ that the grave had bsen mos
-udely disturbed. A hole had been dug ni
the upper end , the coflln broken open am
the corpse dragged out , ivldently by means
of a reps around thene - lc. The police lo
cated the corpse at the Kansas Medical college -

he would ncommend an extension of tltno

absolutely refused to say. He was cf the
opinion that the existing conditions In Gage

Eugene Moore Is not In Washington for the

1 endeavoring to secure from Congressman
Mclklejohn an expression as to whether the
latter has determined to make the race for
governor of Nebraska next fall. In this mis
sion Mr. Mcore thus far has met with fail
ure , Congressman Melklejohn stating today
that he had not made up his mind whether
to bo a candidate or not , although ho had le-
cctved many solicitous letters abklng him to
stand as the candidate from the North Plattc
country.
MIGHT HAVE A SHOW HLMSELP.
Mr. Moore believes that with Melklejohn
out of the race he could command a very
respectable following In the convention , nnd
believes ho could be nominated. He recog
nizes that a host of candidates have the
gubernatorial bee buzzing about them , nota
bly R. E. Moore and Charles H. Moirlll of
Lincaster county ; T. J. Majors of Nemalia

In view of the fact that Ei IJalch of the

WASHINGTON , Dec. > . The feature ot
the senate todav was a speech by Senator
Margin of Alabama , chairman of the committee
mitteeon foreign relations and a meinbcr of
the Paris Ilcrlng sea tribunal , upon n resolu
tion offered by him last week Instructing the
foreign rehtlons committee to Investigate
the question of the liability of the United
States for the seizure of lirltlsli ships In
Horlni ; ECU In lt.90. . Mr. Morgan took the
position In the last , congress that the settle
ment for the sum ot $426,000 , ns recom
mended by the president , was neither wlso
nor proper. Ills remarks on that occasion
were the subject ot some wrcastlo comment
from the llrltlsh ambassador here In the hit
ter's oillclal correspondence with Lord Kim-
berly. That correspondence was printed from
the llrltlsh blue book recently , and most ot
Mr. Morgan's speech todny was devoted to
paying his re-spects to Sir Julian Paunccfote.
His resolution , which was as follows , was
unanimously adopted at the conclusion of his
speech :
Resolved. Tlmt the mcs nge of the pre-
tdunt received lij the senate on rcbiuuiy I ,
lb ! > 3. mid his mi'bMiKO ictelvud In the BCII-
ate today ( meaning Deccmbei 3) ) , relating to
the payment by the I'nlted States of the
claims of Great lirltiiln iirlMng from the
Derlnif sea controveiry , bo leftried to the
committee on foreign relations , with In-
stiuetlons that cald committee cMimlno
Into the question of said liability to Great
Uritnln and the amount thereof. If any , and
of any liability on the part of Great Hrltlan
arising out of said controversy , and that
sold committee shall have authority to re
port by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Morgan addressed the senate on his
rcrolutlon concerning the claims for dam
ages preferred by England on account of
"olzures In llerlng sea.
LIABILITY NOT DETERMINED.
He said he felt It Incumbent upon himself
to reply to certain published comments made
upon his course In the senate by the Britten
premier nnd the Urlllsh ambassador. Ho dc-
claicd that the Paris tribunal did not at
tempt to determine the question of the lia
bility of the United States for
seizures or the amount of such liability.
rifnn t nplinln Sr\Mtf > * n1ir1 tirm / \ ( If * tftflt t\t\
liability was decided as a necessary Inference ,
and President Cleveland , pioceedlng on that
assumption , had , through the State depart
ment , agreed to pay $423,000 in discharge of
this alleged liability of the United States.
But that agreement could not be carried out
without the ratification of congress.
The findings of the tilbunal rested en
tirely upon the treaty-making power of the
two governments , and the- United States and
Great Britain were bound to carrj out the i
regulations decided on for the protection of
the seals as much as if those rogulutlona had
b3en Incorporated In a treaty. But neither
government was bound further. At most , Iho
award of the arbitrators would only furnish
a remote argument for the claim of Great
Britain to damages for seizures. He would
be loyal to the findings of the tribunal , ho
said , but Great Britain conveniently sought
to overstate them. Through negotiations the.
State department agreed to pay $425,000 for
damages and President Cleveland recom
mended that that sum lw appropriated. Con
gress refused to make the appropriation.
At this point Mr. Morgan turned his at
tention to Sir Julian Pauncefotc , the British
ambassador , and his "doleful plaints" to Lord
Klmberly. Mi. Morgan was scornful and sar
castic.
"Does he not know , " the senator askeO ,
'that no executive agreement Is binding
until ratified by congress ? "
He quoted from Sir Julian's report to Lord
Klmberly that republicans , populists and
forty-four democrats had voted against th
appropriation , and his comment attrlbullns
the action of the house to the necessity of
party expediency. Mr. Morgan declared con
temptuously that It way getting to bo the
fashion abroid attribute everything that
did not plea B them to the "Influence of
party politics. "
UNJUST AND OFFENSIVE.
He characterized Sir Julian's commen't
as "unjust" and "offensive" in the case of
tlio house.
"But , not content with these reflections
on the house , " said Mr. Morgan , "ho refers
to senators by name in a gratuitous ) and In
sulting manner. He doec this under the
cover of the British Hag. " Afer quoting
Sir Julian's comment on his ( Morgan's )
characterization of some of the alleged Brit
ish claimants as "recalcitrant and rascally
Americans , " ha declared that the British
ambassador's strictures were based on the
lotnlran n/itlmi t Ii n I t Ii a HHHull nnvltrntlnn
laws uli ou Id cover violations of United Statea
statutes. Crimes against the decalcguo could
not , he eald , bo found In the koran. Ho
denounced the action of the American -ua-
rauders In Boring sea who had placed them
selves under the protco'lon of the British
flag as guilty of surreptitious piracy. Ho
did not object to the English ambassador
criticising his course either as senator or as
a memb'r of tlio Paris tribunal In his private-
communications to his government , but ho
emphatically protested that he had no right
to give his criticism to the American papers
n a pamphlet mid thus forestall reply.
Mr. Morgan was exceedingly Ironical In hla
icferenee to the Indiscriminate nature of
the claims England had bundled together
and asked us to settle for a "lump sum. "
The proposition to pay a "lump sum" ought
to be too revolting to lie on the Christian
stomach of the English ambassador.
The correspondence laid befors the hotio } ,
Mr. Morgan said , demonstrated that thcie
was no negotiation over the alleged claims
and evidently little. Investigation. England
had simply Jumped at the "lump sum" prop
osition made by Secretary Gresham for the
settlement of claims that had neither Jus
tice nor morality beyond the an srtlon set
up , but palpably false , that the award of
the Parts tribunal in ado It obligatory upon
the United Stateti to settle any claims for
damages which Great Britain might make.
Mr. Morgan Insisted that It was -the clear
duty of the senate to obstruct the action of
the president In an attempt to tide down the
tower of the senate In negotiating for tha
t > : tllenient of an International controversy
without Its advice or consent. .
CALLS IT A CONSPIRACY.
Mr , Motgan went at considerable length
nto what hR termed the "Infamouu con
spiracy" which proceeded under the protec
tion of the British flag for the violation of
lie. laws of the United States , and claimed
hat a thoroiigii Investigation and adjudlca-
Ion of the claims would result In large al-
owancea of damages to the leisoes of the
i'Cal Islands , and consequently an Increased
revenue to the United Slates.
In concluding , Mr , Morgan again returned
o his assault on the British ambassador for
ils rough criticism of himself , of which h
, ild ho was perhaps "unbecomingly car -
ess. "
"But I do not feel resentful , " he laid ,
'that Instead of furnishing his complalnti to
he president he nave them out to the.
American press at the opening of congress
vlth a view of dispelling the mlsappreh h-
lon In the public mTnd. It seems , however ,
hat as Sir Julian had burled me under hla
londerouu logic lost March Lord Klmberly
houglit It necessary to exhume my r malni
n v's'er to give the American people a much
leedecl tonic of Great Britain's ' * cnie ot honor
3 brace U up sufficiently to Inducecongrtis
o vote the 'lump sum , ' by which England
cms to put a technical estoppal on aa In-
YOFtlgJtlon of the justice of the damages de-
