Much Ado About Nothing.

A one-sided. misleading story of
little unpleasantness at the Rock
river roll bridge appears In this
mornings Union. The version Is
learned from the lips of Martin Erbs,
the Moline avenue butcher, who was
one Of the participants. Erbs, accord

accounts, drove through the bridge

with William Haupt, wherespon

Mr.. johnson tells an altogether

that seems more reasonable. He
says that one day last summer a man,
Of whom Erbs is the exact counter

two horses attached to his wagon and
stating that he had no money, asked
the privilege OF going through. saying
shat he was horse trader of Dav-

be back and pay the amount. Since
then Mr.. Erbs has passed through

Matter VIII He Postponed for
n short Time.

Washington. June s.-The cabinet meet
ing today lasted longer than usual. The
Cuban situation was discussed in gen
eral way. but the most important subject
presented was the Spanish mission. Th'
availability Of three men for the import-
ant post at Madrid was carefully cam
vassed, but no decision was reached. One
of the cabinet officers said after the meet
ing that the selection will go over until
the presidents return from Nashville. II
may be that the non appearance Of Mr..
Calhoun may have had something to d.
with the postponemcnt today If Mr.. Cal
houn does not have an opportunity for a
talk with the president before Mr.. McKin-
ley's departure for Nashville at NOON to-
morrow. he will be invited to accompany
the president on his trip. a berth has been
reserved on the train to be placed at his
disposal in case he joins the presidential

Washington June s.--Assistsnt Score
tary Day said today that the report OF Con-
sui General Lee upon the results OF the
investigation made In Havana in the Ruiz
case had not yet been received at the state
department. Consequently it was not pos
sible 70 learn whether the publications
purporiing TO be copies Of the report were
accurate Assuming, however, TINT the
consul generals conclusion are correctly
set forth--in brief that Ruiz had diei
while in jail in violation OF his treaty
rights-the question before the depart
ment of the largest importance is. what
shall be the next step? The wife OF Ruiz
has filed with the department a claim for
sIlO, 900 for the death Of her husband.
The Spanish contention has been that he
was not killed and that he was not treated
harshIy. General Lees inquiry is under
stood TO have failed to bring out the truth
on these points. but his statement on an
other-namoly that OF his confinement In
violation of treaty rights-appoars 10 make
the first two points nome essential and to
leave the case resting on the broad claim
that In combining DIR. Ruiz for serenty-two
hours without permitting him TO communI-
cato with his friends or trying him, the
Spanish officials in Cuba have assumed
fun responsibility for the results OF That
extra confinement. The fact being estab-
lished that DR.. Ruiz kept up his citizen
ship, registering himaelf at American con-
suistes in Cuba from time TO time as re-
quired by regulations. is taken as an Off
set against the claim that by continuous
residence IN Cuba for nearly twenty years
he had forfeited his rights as an Ameri-
can citizen. SO II is surmised that the .lext
step in the ease Will be the presentation
Of the claim TO the Spanish in behalf OF
the family OF the victims OF this illegal
Imprisonment.
