foi Is in the first. IrcUanoo lo the u\p09iiro of
Ihe supposed cxaBseratlona. He had con- !
eluded , however , thai an ovcralalcmcnt of j
the horrors of the slliiallon vvaa Impossible.
IIo was prepared , he slated , not only to I
adopt every word of the curcful , concise and |
specific statement of the senator from Ver- j
inont ( Mr. 1'roctor ) , but ho v.as even con- |
vlnccd that ho had understated the fade.
Mr. Thuroton then tersely summarized his
observations and conclusion ? t\a folln\va :
- After three yeais of warfare and the use
Of 22".COO Spanish troops Spain has lost control - ,
trol of ovrry foot of Cuba not surrounded j j
1 > y nn actual Intrenclunent and protected by
u fortllled plckel line. Shu li/ds poasesblon

protection of Spanlslx war sblpilth which
thu ruvqlutionlHts cannot cope.
The levolullonhls arcIn absolute nnd
nlmoit peaceful possession of nearly one-
half of tie ) Kand , Including the eastern
provinces of SantliiKo ilo Cuba anil I'tierlo
1'rinMpe. In lhoii provinces of Santiago
they have established a form of Kovernment.
.levy and collect taxea , maintain armies anil
Kcncrally levy a tax or triune upon .the
principal plnnlatlons In other provinces ,
and , UH tjf commonly believed , upon the en
tire lallvvay .system of the Island. .
In the four Ho-cnllcit Spanish provinces j I
there Is neither cultivation njr railway op-
crntlon except under strong Spanish mili
tary .protection or by consent of Iho revo
lutionists In consideration of tribute paid.
DRIVER TO STARVATION.
Under Iho Inhuman policy of Weyler not
less than -100,00) Helf-supportlnB , Klmple ,
pcai'e.iblo. ilefonseT.cJs countiy people vvero
driven from Ibelr homea In the agricultural
lortlons of the Spanish provinces to the
cities and Imprisoned upon the barren waste
outside the residence portions of these
eltle * ami within tno lines of Intienchment
established u little way beyond. Their
humble hoinea were burned , their llclds laid
wasle , their Implements of husbuulry ile-
.Hlroyed , their llvo stock anil food supplies
for the moat pait conllscated. Most of
these people were oM men. women anil
cMldicn. Slow starvation was tholr In-
ovllablo fate. A conservative estimate in
die itf.s that 210.CQO of thcto people have
tilitMily perished from Btnrvallon.
. The government of Spain has never con-
trlbuleil one dijlar lo house , shellor. feeder
or provldd mcillcal ailciillon for Ihese , Its
own citizens. Such a spectacle exceeds the
scenes of the Inferno as p.ilntecl by Danle.
There has been no amcllorallon of Iho
Kltuiitlon except throuch the charity ot the
iiieople of the United States. There has
( bi'i-ii no illmlnutlon In Ihe ilealli ralo among
I ies.i reconucntiiulos except ns the death
mipply Is constanlly diminished. There lane
no lellef anil no hope except througn the
continued charity of the American people
until peaeo has been fully restored to the
Island.
Spain cannot put an end to the c\lstlns
condition. Slio cannot conquer Hie Inxur-
gcnls. She cannot re-estnbllsa her sovereignty
eignty over any c-onslderablo portion of the
interior of the IsTanil. The revolutlonlsls ,
while able to nvilnlaln themselves , can
not drive tint Spanish army fiom the
fortllled .seacoast tovvmt. The situation then
Is not war as wu undeistiniil It. bill a chao.s
of iluvastatlon anil depopulation of undo-
llnuil ( lurattan whoso nnd no man can ECC.
NO WISH TO BB SENSATIONAL.
In detailing the Incidents and reciting the
facts thai came under his observation , Mr.
Thurnton said ho had no desire to deal In
liorrorj.
If I h id my way I would shield the
American publla. even from the plioto-
Kraphlc reproduction ! ! of the awful scenes
tint I viewed In nil their original ghnstll-
iieHs. Of the 2r > .WO soldiers Spain hail sent
to Cuba , less than GO.WO were now available
for duty. The remainder are dead , sick
In hospitals or returned to Spain Incnpacl
tatcil. It K currently reported that 37,000
are row blck In the hosplta'H on the Island.
Thp in my was In poor condition nnd under
lax discipline.
1 do not believe that the cntlro Spanish
nrmy In Cuba could tilanil nn engaBi-mcnt In
the open Held agalnsi 20,000 well disciplined
American aoldloru.
Of Ihp Spanish soldiers , he said that they
of all people on earth would most gladly
welcome any result which would tnablo
them to return to their homes.
The pictures In the American no < ppnpera
of the starving reponuentraiios are true.
They can all bo duplicated by iho thou
sands. I never saw. und pteisc God I may
never again see. BO deplorab'.i a sight as
the reconcentrnilos In the suburbs of Ma-
tanzis. I can never forget to my ilylni ; day
the hopeless anguish In tholr ilespilrlng
eyes. Huddled about their little huts , they
rdscil no r. Ice of appaila of alma to IM as
vve. iwent among them. Jlen , women nnd
children stand silent , funiNhlng. Their only
uppeil comes from their sad eyes , through
which one look HCOJ ns through an open
window Into tholr agonizing1 souls.
In Mataiuat iiho people had ilone all they
pofcdlhly could do for the rccnicontradod.
but It was too trite th it ininy Mntanzaa

1ns the last vestige of Spanish tryanny nnd
oppression will havft vanished from the w-eat-
ern hemisphere.
DiscLsalnq tlui remedy whloh should be
applied to the evils he found , Mr. Thurston
I counse'ed silence * nnd moderation from
this floor when thp passion of the nation
seemed at whlto heat over the destruction
of the Maine ; but It seems lo me the time
for action has now come , Npt action In tic
Maine case. I hona and trust that this
government will take action on the Cuban
situation entirely outside of the Maine case.
When the Maine report Is received. If It bo
found that our ship and sailors were b'.own
up by aomo outside explosive , wo will have
ample reparation without quibble , or dpI
lay ; nnd If the explosion can bo traced to
Spanish olllclal sources there will ba such
swift and terrible punishment adjudged as
will remain a warning to the world forever.
WHAT SHOULD HE DONE.
What shall the United States do ? Mr.
President.
For answer Mr. Thurston , as a republican ,
turr > 3d to the last national platform ot bin
party , which declared that : "Tho United
States should actively use Its Influence and
good offices to restore peace and glvo In
dependence to the island. "
In accepting the nomination tendered him
by the convention which had adopted the
Cuban plank with a "mighty shout , " Wil
liam McKlnley had said : "Tno platform
adopted by the republican convention has
received my careful consideration and has
my uneiualltled approval. " Twice within the
past two years , Mr. Thuiston said , ho had
volcd for a resolution recognizing the bel
ligerency of the Cuban Insurpents. but he
was satisfied It was now too late to accord
them belligerent rishls or even merely lo
recognize lh Independence of Iho Cuban
re pubic.
Our platform demands that the United
Stntw shall actively use Its Influence for
the Independence of the Island. I am not
here to criticise the present administration ,
I yield to no man living In my respect , my
admiration for , and my confidence In the
judgment , the wisdom , the patriotism , the
Americanism of William McKlnley. When
he entered upon his administration he faced
a dllllcult situation. It was bis duty to
proceed with rare and caution.
Mr. Thurston then recounted the stcya
which the president has taken In the Cuoan
question during the la.'t year and pronounced
his course wise , ( statesmanlike and In accord
ance with the diplomatic usages of the world ,
world.
It was the plain duty of the president
of the United States to glvo the liberal
ministry of Spain a reasonable time In which
to test Its proposed autonomy. That time
has been given. Aulonomy Is conceded a
wide nnd n conspicuous failure. Cuba has
only changed for the wor.se. Sigasta Is
powerless ; Illanco Is powerless to put nn
end to the conflict , to rehabilitate tlio
Island , or to relieve the suffering , starvation
und distress.
distress.TIMU
TIMU FOn ACTION.
The tlmo for action has then come. No
greater reason for It cin exist tomorrow
than exists today. Kvery hour's delay only
adds another chapter to the awful Btory of
mlseiy and death. Only ono power can
Intervene the United Slates of America. It
was her glorious example which Inspired thn
people of Cuba to raise the flic of liberty
In her eternal hills. Wo cannot refuse to
accept this responsibility which the God
of the universe has placed upon us : is the
one great power In thu new world. What
shall our action be ?
Mr. Thurston briefly adverted to the
propositions of recognizing the belligerency
or the ( independence ot the Cubans rnly to
say that It wan too late for either. As to its
annexation he said ;
Oed forbid ! I would oppose annexation
with my last breath. The people of Cuba
are not our people ; they cannot assimilate
with us ; and boond all that I nm utterly
and unalterably opposed to any departure
from the declared policy of the fathers
which would Blurt this republic for DIP llrst
lime upon a career of conquest nnd damlnn.
tlon utterly at variance with the declared 1
purposes and the manifest destiny of popu-
lar government. Let thn world understand
that thp United Stales does not propose to
annex Cuba , that It Is not pecking a foot
of Cuban Hell or n dollar of Spanish treas
ure.
ure.As
As to the plan for the United States to
guarantee Cuban purchase bends , Mr. Thurs
ton declared : ,
The American people will never consent to
the payment of one dollar to the guaran
teeing of one bond , ns the price paid to
Spain for Its rellnqulshment of the Island
It has so wantonly outraged and devastated.
SEUVKS WRIT OF OUSTKK.
Mr , President , there Is only ono action pas.
slble. If any In taken that Is Intervention
for the Independence of the Island ; Inter
vention that means thu landing of nn Am rl.
can army < on Cuban neil , the deploying ot
nn American fleet off th6 harbor ot Havana ;
Intervention which nays to Spain , "Leave
the Island ; withdraw your soldiers ; leave
the Cubans these brothers of ours In the
new world to form and carry on govern
ment for themselves. " Such Intervention
ou our part would not of Itself be war. It
would undoubtedly lead to war. But If war
came It would come by act of Spain In
resistance of the liberty and the Independ
ence of the Cuban people. It Is maintained
that of all people on the Islind the native
Cubans were the best qualified and fitted
for government.
MiThurston paid a high trlbule to the
government for the \vo-k It las accomplished
in preparing for any emergency , and , speak-
ilng of co.igrcssi , said :
Wo nro not in session to hamper or cilpnle
the. president : vvf are here to ndvlsp and
nsslbt him. Congress can alone li > vv taxes ,
and to this congress the united people of
this bread land , from sea 'to sen , from lake
i to gulf , look to voice their wishes and ex-
I ecute their m 111.
I . , MrI ; , > .rehl < 1 nt > "Balnst the Intervention of
I the United States in this holy cause there

I voice of the money changers. They fear

or the Intervention which mlsht roiult In
war would have1 a depressing etteiit Upon Ihe
stock market. Ir. President , I do not read
my duty from the llckf r , I do not accept my
lessons In patriotism from Wall street.
WAR AND BUSINESS.
j I War with Spain would Increase the biiEl-
j ness and earnings of eveiy American rail-
read ; It would Increase thn output of every
Ameilcan factory. It would stimulate cvtry
branch of Industry and domestic commerce ,
It would greatly Increase the demand for
American labor and In the end even ci-rtlfl-
, cato that represented a fhare. In nn Amerl-
I can business enterprise would be worth more
. money than It is inorth today. Hut In Ihe
! meantime the specter of war would stride
through the stock exchanges and many of
the gamblers around the board would llml
their Ill-gotten gains passing ito the other
side of the table.
Lot them go ; what ono man loses at the'
gambling table his fellow gamblers win. Lot
them take their chances ns they cm. Their
weal or woe Is. of bul little importance to
the liberty-loving people cf the United
States. Let the men whoia loyalty Is to the
dollar stand aside while , the men iwhcge
lovilty Is to the flag come to the front !
There are homo who lift their volets in the
land aril In the open light of day Insist that
the republican party will not net , for they
say It sold out to the capllallsls and monsy-
changers at the last national election. It Is
not "o. God forbid ! The 7.000.CCO free men
who voted for the republican p irly and for
William McKlnley did not mot'gage ' the

WASHINQTON. March 24. Fourth As-
Istant Postmnster General DrUtow has re-
elved a report "from the Inspectors who In-
estimated the "killing " on February 12 of
ohn R. Freeman,1 who had been appointed
lostmaater at Ada. Oa. , but who had never
ntered on the duties of his office.
Freeman was shot by Henry Peavy , an ex.
onvlct. The latter and Freeman had some
lsputo over an unpaid account , resulting' In
'cavr's forcible ejection hy Freeman from
ho latter's s'ore. The ejected man throat-
ned vengeance and soon after reaching Iho
proslte side of the street began shooting
at Freeman and two frlonda who were with
tilm , who had come to the door of the store.
The killing aroused considerable feeling ,
jut the Inspector's report discourages the
heory that the postmaster was murdered In
rder to prevent a change In the management
f the office and nays the Investigation pro
duces no evidence of a conspiracy against
Freeman's life , or that his appointment
figured at all In his assassination.
Freeman's politics , the report says , do not
appear to be very clearly defined. Ho had
not been considered a republican and was
not eo regarded In the community at the
line of his appointment.
The grand Jury has found a true bill
azalrot Peavy for the killing cf Freeman ,
but the murderer's whereabouts are not
known.
The Ada case Is one of the two the other
was at Lake City , S. C. which aroused con
siderable feollns In administration circles ,
lnd to which tbo president and his cabinet
ia\c given thoughtful consideration. In' the
Lake City cnse the murdered pcatmaslcr
was a colored man , but In the Ada * ctao
Freeman , who had been appointed postmas
ter , was a whlto man.

portant that the bill should bo patted as
speedily as possible. It was the most com
plete measure for lengthening the naval
establishment ever reported to the house.
The reasons were too obvious to rcqulve
mentioning. The committee over which he

desire to meet filly and completely the ex

NEWPORT ND\VS , Va. , March 24. The
twin battleships Kentucky and Kcarsargo
were launched from the yards of the Newport -
port News Dry Dock & Shipbuilding com
pany today In the presence of an Immense
crowd.
There was not a hitch In the program and
cheers from 30,000 throats greeted the latest
additions to the United States navy as they
slid down the ways , the prow of one sprinkled '
'
w Ith foaming champagne , the other chrlat-
cncd with pure water from the homo of
Abraham Lincoln.
Harly In the day the throngs began to
gather , while an army of workmen swarmed
around the grim hulls , preparing them for
tholr maiden dip.
The arrival of the christening parties was
the signal for cheers from the Impatient
spectators , and also for the ship yard em
ployes to commence the work of transferring
the ship to Its cradle. The regular sounda ot
the hammer could bo heard In all sections of
the yard as the brawny workmen drove
home the all Important wedges.
In the meantime the guests of the New
port News Shipbuilding company had assem
bled on the large platform at the ship's
prow. Among the distinguished persons
who occupied positions on the platform were'
Governor W. 0 'Bradley ' , Governor J. Hoge
Tyler and their respective staffs ; General
Nelson A. Miles , coinmandcr-ln-chlcf of the .
United States army ; Admiral Matthews. I
lulled States navy ; Conmiodorea McNalr and
Vallaco ; Senators Thomas S. Martin of Vir
ginia anl J. L Hawllns of Utah ; Reprcsenta-
Ivcs Jacob Yost , W. A. Jones and I * . J.
Otey , Representative A. J. Hopkins of 1111-
lols. Representative T ) . II. Mercer. cx-Seua-
or iniack , Heprcscntallve D. II. l-inall and
/ S. Hopkins of Kentucky ; President C. B.
Orcutt of the shipbuilding company. Naval
'orstnictor J. Woodward and wife , Mis.
General Plckett , 'Miss ' Hello Tyler , Mlas I
Miles , AIlss Mary Orcutt and Mrs. Governor j
radlcy.
'HEADY ' VOll Tim WORD.
Suddenly the sounds of the hammers
ceased and the Immensp crowd was hushed
xlth the cessation of work as If by magic
command , and the attention cf all wrs
tlioctcd to the bow of the Kcarsarge , where
Mrs. Wlnslow , wife ot Lieutenant Com-
nandcr Wlrslow , son of the'comnnnder of
he famous old frigate that first bore the
lame , stood gracefully erect with the bottle
of wine In her upraised hand.
Another Instant and the cracking of the
nige timber was heard nnd they saw com-
ilelei Its work of severing Ita last wedge.
The towering frame hesltalcd a second ; then
moved with majestic slowness on Its Journey
: o tl-o water.
As It did so airs. Wlnslow dashed the
bottle against , the receding b-'W and ex-
clilmcd : "I christen thee Kearsarsc. "
A mighty cheer went up from the vast
throng of spectators as the vessel struck the
water , stern first , and \vlth n graceful dip
first aft and then forward , glided Into the
water. Another cheer arcee when It was
seen that the Kcarsarge had been safely and
successfully launched , and sat on even keel.
The steam whistles In the ship yard , and
those on the largo fleet of naval and pleasure
craft In the river , shrieked forth their glad
welcome to the newcomer.
The Kearsargc glided out Into the channel
where It was picked up by tugs arU proudly
towed to one of the lower ship yard piers.
After the launching Mrs. Wlnslow received
a handsome model of the Kearsargc , pre
sented liy the men who worked on tbo ship ,
as a memento of the occasion.
When the Kearearge had been safely
mcored , there was a rush to where the
formidable Kentucky proudly awaited the
honors to be conferred upon It by ono of the
Bluegrcsa state's most charming daughters.
The ship launchers were already at work
prepailng the Kentucky for Its baptism.
- iFlnally the blows beneath the hull of the
ahlp died away. The large saw was placed
against the sole pieces"at the bow of the
VMsol , and the two workmen looked up at
General Superintendent Smith for the ex
pected signal.
KENTUCKY IS RELEASED.
Mr. Smith motioned to Miss Ilradley to
take the christening bottle , and then nodded
to the men below. The buzzing of the saw
started again und the throng held their
breath eagerly awaiting the strange Epec-
taclo of seeing a ihlp chrlslcned with water.
There wai1 only another Instant of sus
pense as the weakened timbers commenced
lo crack under the severe Btraln of the ship's
burden , and the breathlessly awaited snap
quickly followed.
At 11:30 : the big hull started frpm Its Ions
oejpicd bed , and Miss Bradley smashed the
cut glars bottle filled with water from a
spring In Kentucky , from which Abraham
Lincoln in his youth was wont to quonclr
his thirst , squarely against the sharp prow.
Slmul ancously with the round of break
ing glass , and the downward rush of glisten-
Ins water , the great crowd of spcclators taw-
Miss n'radley's ' lips parl , and these In the
Immellito vicinity heard In tones of girlish
awcctocts the time-honored expression , "I
thilstcn thco Kentucky. "
As the vcreel started on Its journey to the
vv.-tor. a number of pint bottles of Kentucky
whisky wcro hurled from the crowd and
sirasl-ed against the shining sldo of the
battleship.
Amid the cheers of the rnarsea the- Ken
tucky iMbhdl down the greased wa > s nt a
twelve-knot clip , starting slowly , and gain
ing momentum as It neared Its natural cle
ment. Striking the water with a loud sp'.ash
It skimmed out on the waves and cut the
water for a distance of several hundred
yards before coming to a full stop.
Ao in the case of the first ship , the new
comer was welcomed with the shrill blasts
of the steam whistles on all the large craft
lying In the harbor.
Many state military orginlzatlons came
from nearby towns in honor of the occasion
and a dress parade was held on tbo Casino
grounds In the afternoon.
BANQUET TO VISITORS.
Immediately after the launch the Invited
guests of the Newport News Shipbuilding &
Dry Dock company were banqueted at the
Chamberly hotel , Old Point Comfort.
The presence of General Miles and many
congressmen and senators lent additional
brilliancy to the event.
The commodious ball room was converted
Into a banquet hall In order to accommodate
the guests , who numbered 700 , Including
many women.
'Toasts wcro responded to as follows : "Our
President , " by Congressman Hopkins of Illi
nois ! "Old Dominion , " by Governor J. HORO

Uradlcyj "Our Navy , " by Senator Jlawllns
of Utah ; "Tho Newport News Shipbuilding &
Dry .Dock . Company , " by M. E. Ingalls , presi

pany.
Governor Bradley was the orator of the oc
casion. When ho aroao to respond to "Ken-
lucky" t he received an ovation from Iho Bluo-
gross delegation and the Virginians which
lasted several minutes. Ills address was
punctured mlth periods ot deafening ap
plause. EIo said :
WHICH KENTUCKY ?
Which Kentucky ? Is II the Kentucky
whoso people with ouo nclalm return thiinks
to the distinguished secretary of Iho nnvy
for tlio pplcndld compliment paid them today
and to the builders of the ship for their
kind nnd generous courtesy and hospitality ?
Is It the Kentucky whoo name la written
Indelibly | upon every chapter of the nation's
history since Its admission Into the sister
hood of states ? Is It the. Kentucky whoso
bravo , bold pioneers rescued a wlldernesi
from the snvngo and made It blossom as
the rose ? Is It the Kentucky , the eloquence
of whose Chiy , CHltemlen , Marshall nud
Urcckinrldgo shook the hulls of congress
and sllrrod Iho hparN of Iho people on Iho
hustings ? Is II Ihe Kentucky ot waving
blue grass , of crystal stream , ble-nded moun
tain J top and sky , of chivalrous men und
beautiful women ? Is It the Kentucky whose
gaLant soldleis have over bout found In Ihe
forrfront of tuttie , whose seamen have won
fame upon the ocenn mid christened heathen
li nils with their precious- blood 7 Is It the K n-
tucky whose generous people symp-ithlzra
with the oppressed and down-trodden of
every land nnd 'Who ' earnestly desire that
thu nation shall Intervene to prevent fur
ther atrocities upon HIP suffering people of
Cuba : nnd If Ihe Invesllgallon should
Jusllfy , lo avengp Ihp death of our sailors ,
not by demanding an Indemnity In money ,
but an Indemnity In blood ?
Of 'thH Kentucky I cannot fltllngly tpeak
In the short time nlKlted. Hut It Is the
other Kentucky th.it calls for speech and
poetry nnd song , tliflt Kentucky which to-
dav gave Us llrsl kiss > to the fen.
There Is no better ship ; there could be no
bettor name. When fully manned and
equipped she starts on her mission , wo will
all rxtlalm : "God b'ess Kentucky on the
land ! God speed and protect Kentucky on
the sea 1"
No ship has ever been chrl"itoned as It 1ms
lippn. Not according to the custom of plr.Ho
Vikings cl.id with the skins of wild bp.ists ,
but | with sparkling water from the "prlng
which quenched Ihe Infant thirst of him
( who gave freedom to a race- and saved our
country from destruction. And when the
grpat ship mnjestlc.illv moves to the
glorious destiny which Is In .storp for II 11
mill be sanctlllod l > y the prayers of more
Cliristlin women thin nil others Hint have
over moved on the face of the waters ,
BAPTISM OK PURITY.
Whether under cilm nnd cloudless skies
or snuggling with tempest and wave ;
whether In peace or war , there thiilt hover
o\or It , not HIP oplrlt of alcohol which has
destroyed M > manv live' , desolated so many
homes nnd caused HIP shcddltiK of so much

Kentucky's noblps son , the grandest nnn
In all the 'tide , of time , symbolized by Goa'i )
Klft to m.m. that which causes the cnilh to
yield Its frulti nnd harvest , which cleinses
nud purifies , uhlcli quenches thirst of the
living and relieves the lurched lips of Ihe
wounded anil dying.
Purltv nnd pitrlotlsm havetoJiy been
blended In the christening of the ship , whlrh
1 predict will win more fame , gather more
laurclh and accomp'lsh more Rood thin any
thai lias ever t'wept ' Iho seas
And In parting with the majestic vessel
Kentiicklans with ono voice exclaim :
"In splto of rock nnd tempest's roar ,

Sail on , nor fenr to breast the SM ;
Our hearts , our hopes , aie all with thee.

scanty supply , smarting Irritation , Aa kid

eyes , the feet en ell and sometimes the
heart aches badly. Should further evidence
bo needed to find out the cause of sick
ness , then et urine aside for twenty-four
hours ; If there Is a sediment or settling
H Is also convincing proof that our kidneys
and bladder need doctoring. < A fact often
