SHOT THROUGH
THE THIGH
Captain G. W. T. Masters
Wounded While Helping
a Friend.
Shipping Master John Cane
Unintentionally Inflicted
the Injury.
It Was During Some Trouble About
the Shipping of a
Sailor.

With the very best of intentions. hop
ing to avert what threatened to result in
a disastrous if not fatal quarrel, Captain
G. w. T. Masters of the schooner Garden
City went to the rescue Of John Cane yes
terday morning. at Howard pier 2, and
himself received the injury from which he
had attempted to save another.
John Cane. shipping master. had
driven in his buggy to the Howard dock
to ce iver sailor just shipped when the
vehicle was surrounded by crowd OF
men which objected to allowing the man
to be put aboard. Two OF the men, one OF
whom is known as "Dog-Face" Johnson,
patrol for the sailors union, and the
other who name is unknown TO the
police, jumped on the wheels OF the vehi-
Gle and attempted TO pull the sailor out.
Captain Masters saw Cane draw his pistol
10 defend himself and the sailor, and he
sprang to the front, hoping to assist Cane
and stop further trouble. But Canes
finger was already on the trigger, and the
bullet went forth just as the captains
body stood in place of the man he had
pushed away.
The missile penetrated the left thigh,
passing right through, inf1icting painfui
but not dangerous wound.
= The crowd stampeded leaving Captain
Masters to be treated at the Harbor Re-
ceiving Hospital, while Shipping Master
Cane surrendered himself 10 the police,
who charged him with assault to N urder.
He was released on bail in the sum OF
$1,000 by Judge Low.
Captain Masters was able TO return to
mis- home in Alameda at noon.

Lee win Reply 10 Oiney.

NEW YORK, March 6.-Ihe HcTald's
Havana correspondent sends the follow
ing by way Of Key West
Consul General Leo has received the
correspondence i'm relation TO tho Ruiz
case as given to the senate by tho secron.
ry Of state, Mr.. Olney. The consul rorlr.
al viii not make an official reply until the
official record IS forwarded to him.
He viii then in the most public manner
reply TO the correspondence, which does
him grave injustice. AT tho proper mo-
ment ho win have no difficult in proving
how without foundation are Mr. Olney s.
insinuations. / personally cannot imagin.
how the department. could have supposed
that General Lee would demand Ruig S
release from inoomunicad0 when 12 hours
had elapsed Tho department never au-
thorized General Lee 10 do SO. though in-
structions in this sense have been repeat
edly requested by him In similar cases and
were never forthcoming.
IN the Scott case General Lee demanded
his release from incomunicadO upon his
own authority, and the department see
ing that the steps were approved hy tho
people, did not disavow It, But until aft
er the murder of Ruiz the department had
never insisted upon the recognition by the
Spanish authorities OF this undoubted
treaty right
Further, the department. received two
months ago General Neylers letter, in
which the captain general stated that this,
as also other treaty rights of Americans,
had been suspended by the declaration of
martial law. BY the silence of the depart
ment it apparently acguiesced in this nov
ell proposition in international law.
The audienca. or supreme cour5 of
judges of Cuba, has received instructions
direct from the ministry of justice at Mad
rid TO report upon the condition of all
American prisoners and the state of the
cases. 1t is Thought by many well inform
eel persons that this piaiseworthy step will
lead at am early date tn tho liberation Of
many American prisoners held upon
charges though the respective Judges O.
instruction in cnar-e Of the cases have re-
ported that the evidence is absolutely in
sufficient to lead to legal conviction
1t is to be hoped that this act Of justice
and good feeling on the part Of Spain will
not be long delayed.
General Weyler returned on the Legazpi,
having been delayed on account of storms
along the northern coast. His son Fer
nando has been in Havana for a week
making preparations for his departure.
Don Manuel Calyo the agent Of the
Spanish Transatlantic company, stated
that all inquiries for passage on the 10ti

on the departure Of the captain general
