THE SCENES OF SUFFERING
Speaking of the Maine, He Says That if

Realon for Rebellion. 4
Washington, March 24.—Mr. Galla-
gher, of New Hampshire, addressed the
Senate yesterday afternoon on the con-
dition of affairs in Cuba, having re-
cently returned from a visit to the isl-
and. It was a. stirring speech, and at-
tracted a large audience to the galler-
ies, notice having been given yesterday
that it would be delivered.
'After telling of his call upon Gen—
eral Blanco, at the Palace, and paying
the highest compliments to Consul-
General Lee, the Senator declared that
Weyler, because of his cruelties, was
driven from Cuba by the force of
American just public opinion. ' In an—
swer to those who had said war did
not exist in Cuba he would tell, them
that a. desolated and stricken people.
proved the contrary. It was a peculiar
kind of war—not the kind this coun—
try became acquainted with at Shiloh
and Vicksburg, at Chancellorsville and
Gettysburg, and which General Sher-
man summed up in the three laconic
words, “War is hell.” It was not the
kind of war that Grant and Lee, Sher—
man and Jackson, Sheridan, Long-
street and Logan participated in from
1861 to 1865. \In Cuba it was a war of
starvation and exterminatiOn—a war
more cruel than any the world has ever
known. It was worse even than that.
of the Kurds against the Armenians.
The scenes in the streets of Havana;
are harrowing beyond description. Peo-
ple in want and suffering are every-
where seen and walking skeletons meet
one on every hand. Naked children,
emac‘ated and ragged women and dis-
eased and starving men throng the
streets, the hotel lobbies and every
sort. It is a. terrible sight—one that
sickens the heart and quicke‘ns eVery
impulse of human sympathy and love.
Under the very shadow of cathedrals
and churches, where Spain’s authority
is absolutely unquestioned, the most
horrible conditions are conceded to ex-
ist. Many have refused to believe that
a great government was waging a war
of extermination instead of a war of
honor, yet such is an absolute fact. A
visit was paid to the orphanage, which
isnow under the care of Miss Clara
Barton. It contains about fifty chil-
dren, almost every one of whom is a.
vict'm of starvation. Dr. Lesser. one
of Miss. Bartln‘s assistants, has had
experience in the Armenian and Ind—
ian famines, but he declares that the
famine in Cubt is worse than that in
Armenia, and the pictures he drew of
the terrible suffering and starvation in
the island mire than confirm all that
has been written upon the subject.-
A detailed story of a visit to Los
Fuses, the place where the reconcentra—
does daily assemble to'get food. was
also given. A few weeks ago when Miss
Barton discovered the place. there were
645 people lying on the floors, many of
them entirely nude and all suffering
Much has
been done by the Red Cross Society to
' alleviate the condition of those who
still remain, but scores of men, women
and children are yet there, gaunt and
bony almost as a. skeleton, many of
them covered with sores directly trace—
able to insufficient food. “What a
chapter of horrors and death is that!
And still the tragedy goes on. How
much lenger it shall continue largely
depends upon the forbearance of a
great people, who through suffering
and sorrow achieved their own inde—
pendence and whose sympathies have.
always gone out to the oppressed of all
nations of the world.”-
A vivid picture was then drawn by
Mr. Gallagher of a trip to the city of
Matanzas. He said: “Matanzas is lit—
erally a place of beggary and death.
Never before did my eyes behold such
suffering, and never again do I expect
to see such havoc wrought through a
cruel and inhuman decree.
“The number of people who have
starved in Cuba will never be definitely
known. It is est’mated that 800.000 were
driven from their homes into the cities
and towns. I had it from Spanish au—
thority that. according to the’r figures,
225,000 already have perished. but it is
said that the Red Cross Society is in
possession of figures showing that 4'25.-
000 Cubans have died as a result of
Spanish cruelty from starvation, and
that $200,000 more must inevitably die.
“I have been asked many times what
of the Monte. I do not know. This,
however, I do know. A government that
will deliberately starve 400,000 of its
own people will do pretty much any—
thing. If the ship was blown up from
the outside, what should our Govern—
ment do? Perhaps I should forbear to
diseuss that question now, but this I
will venture to say: Human life. pur—
posely taken, cannot be paid for in
gold or silver. Mark my words, ‘pur-
posely taken,’ and if ti shall appear
that such was the fate of 250 brave
American sailorst? then heaven pity the
guilty parties. It will not be a question
of arbitration, but a. question involving
the dignity and honor of this great re-
public.”
Mr.. Gallagher said there was little
real loyalty to Spain in Cuba, as would
be demonstrated when the hour of trial
should come. He did not believe that
Spain could subdue the insurgents. The
Cubans had been oppressed so long
that they preferred death to continued
Spanish rule.
“No people on the face of the earth
have been so oppressed,” continued the
Senator. “The treasury of Spain is lit—
erally supplied from the revenues ex—
torted from Cuba and the Philippine
Islands. Our forefathers went to war
because the mother country put a tax
on tea. Cuba has 10,000 more reasons
than we had for rebellion and she do-
serves the sympathy and help of every
true American.
“Fortunately the people of this great
republic are thoroughly aroused to the
s’tuation and the great heart of the
American populace is in full sympathy
with Cuba. Religion and humanity
,alike demand that the unholy war shall
cease. and cease it should, even though
the glitter and glamor of military rule
shall end and a decaying and dissolntc

ROADS CAUSE HAlOC
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana
' Suffer Heavy Losses.
MANY REPORTED DROWNED
Farming Lands Under “'utei‘, Railroads
“Washed Out and Traffic Paralyzed, and
Thousands of Peeple Flooded Out of
Their Homes.
Chicago, March 24.——-Five States are
suffering from severe floods—Ohio,'-In-
fliana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and West
Virginia. Railroad bridges have been
washed out in every direction, miles
and miles of railroad track and farm-
lng lands are under water, and many
people are in danger of their lives.
The usual Spring thaws, augmented .
by urmsually heavy rains which have
been falling for two and three days al-
most incessantly in some'places, caus—
ed the disaster.
Several railroads accidents have re-.
sulted, but only one resulting in loss
of life is reported so far. A work
train on the Pennsylvania Railroad.
last night we nt through a trestle weak-
ened by the floods near Columbus, Ind.,
and several lives were lost. The re-
ports at present are conflicting, the
number of dead beingr placed at from
eight to thirty, and the number of in-
iured at from fifteen to twenty.
At Greensburg, Ind., \Vill Shane and
Clara Miller, who were to have been
married to-day, were swept away while
crossing a. stream and were drowned.
The property loss in and about Greens-
burg will reach $200,000. At Shelbyville
the loss will be equally as large, the
residence part of the town being flood-
ed. Among the other Indiana towns
affected are Lebanon. Rushville. Rich—
mond, Westport. St. Paul, Manchester,
Wabash, Terre Haute and Indianapo-
lis. It is thought the total loss in In—
diana, will reach fully $1,000,000.
Ohio has suffered almost as badly as
Indiana. At Dayton fully three-fourths
of the city is inundated, and the pros-
pects are that the entire city will be
under water unless cool and clear
Weather prevails. Early yesterday
morning the levee of the Great Miami
broke north of the city, and within an
hour the lower portions of North Day—
ton were submerged. Shortly after the
entire suburb was under water. and
over"1,000 householders were compelled
to abandon their homes.
Thousands were rescued, though as
many were compelled to remain. The
City Lighting Department is disabled,
and the entire city was in darkness last
night. The loss will run up into the
hundreds of thousands. At Columbus
three square miles of the city is under
water, including many manufacturing
concerns, and technical houses—a total
of over 600 buildings. Many families
had to be rescued in boats. ‘ ,
Among the other Ohio cities less se-
riously affected are Cincinnati, Urbana.
Upper Sandusky, Springfield Piqua.
Canton, Newark and Canal Dover, At.
Pittsburg several iron ,mills are sub-
merged and. the damage already
wrought is about $150,000.
While the floods in Illinois are not. so
heavy as in the adjoining States, the
loss to farmers and the railroadswill
be extensivel The towns most seri-j
ously affected are Cobden, Mascaulah,i
Lonesville. Virginia, Charleston, Otta-
wa and Nashville. Rain is still falling
in many of the places, so that much
greater damage is feared throughout
the Mississippi Valley.
EIGHT REPORTED DROWNED.
York Train on the Panhandle Railroad
Plunges Into White River.
Seymour, Ind., March 24.—At 6 o‘clock'
last night a special work train on the
an engine. tool car and a passenger
( each, “'hll 11 contained a. large number
of men. left Columbus for the purpose
of distributing the men along the vari—
ous water courses on the line on ac-
count of the floods.
While crossing the trestle near Co-
lumbus it gave way, precipitating the
entire train into the White River. Eight
are reported killed or drowned.
All trains have been abandoned be-
tween this city and Columbus, and the
river covers all the roads leading to the
scene of the wreck.
“Tom” Watson Has Retired.
Atlanta, (3a., March 24.——Thomas E.
Watson, who was last week nominated
for Governor of Georgia by the Popu-
lists, to-day in his paper, the People’s
Party Paper, announces his declination
of the nomination, and further an—
nounes over a signed card that his life
in the future will be devoted absolutely
to the practice of law and literature,
and that he will not under any consid—
eration enter politics again in any ca-
pacity. The statement will create a
sensation in political circles, as it will
add also that he can see no hope of the
Populist party bringing about the re-
forms contemplated so long. as the
present fusion plan prevails and the
party is managed as it is now.
Talk of Salisbury’s Retirement.
London, March 24.——The Daily Chron-
icle says: “We learn that the long
cabinet council on Monday wa’s to con-
sider an intimation from the Marquis
of Salisbury of his desire, acting under
medical advice, to resign both the Pre-
miership 'and the Foreign Secretary-
ship. Our news is obtained from a
source usually trustworthy, but the cri-
sis may take a few weeks to develop,
the Queen being abroad. Lord Salis-
bury’s successors are almost certain to
be the Duke of Devonshire as Pre—
mier and Mr. Arthur J. Balfour as See—
retary of State for Foreign Affairs.”
Bi 3 Insurance Failure.
Harrisburg, March 24.——Deputy At-
torney General Reeder, at the instance
of Insurance Commissioner Lambert,
made application in the Dauphin Coun-
ty Court Tuesday for a. receiver for the
Guarantors’ Finance Company of Phil-
adelphia, of which Thomas V. Cooper
is President. The court granted an or—
der returnable Monday, April 4.‘ The
liabilities, including the capital stock,
amount to $1,047,500, while the admitted .
assets are $582,967.03: which shows an
impairment of $464,632.97.

' “’ilhelm.II.’s Toad ’l‘uligman.
The house of Hohenzollern possesses
a. family talisman. Since the time of
the elector, John Cicero, who flourish-
ed toward the end of the fifteenth cen—
tury, each ruler has, when possible be-
fore dissolution, handed to his success-
or a sealed packet. This contains a ring,
in which is set a black stone, said to
have been dropped by a huge toad on
the coverlet of a princess of the family
just as she 'had given birth to a. son.
Frederick the Great found the ring in
an envelope, which also inclosed a.
memorandum, written by Frederick L,
stating its value and its mode of trans-
mission. Schneider, the librarian of
William I., declares that he saw the
packet handed by Geling, the treasurer,
to his royal master on his accession.
and further asserts that he read his
account of the talisman to the Emper-
or, who fully confirmed it.—St. James’
