AN Intervention
Will Probably be Advised by Presl-
dent Mckinley.
cALHOUN'S MISSION NOT ENDED
The President will Very Likely
Base His Cuban Policy on Mr..
CaIhoun's final Report.
SPAIN WANTS TO COMPROMISE

WASHINGTON, June l9.-Mr. Calhoun
has been in frequent consultation the
past two days with the president and
Assistant Secretary Day in an endeavor
to discharge himself of so much of his
mission us will enable him to return to
Illinois to attend to some pressing law
business. He will return to Washing
ton, however, next Wednesday to re-
sumo his labors. The special commits
sioner already has reduced TO the shape
of written report some of the results
of his observations, but his work is far
from complete.
1t is probable that the findings of Mr..
Calhoun i'll the end will be entrusted to
Mr.. Woodford to take with him to
Madrid and support such representa-
tons as he may be charged to make to
the Spanish government. 1t is also
likely that upon Mr.. Calhoun's return
to Washington next week a full confer
ence will be held between him and Mr.
Woodford, who is expected to come
over from New York for the purpose.
Mr. Calhoun's official Investigations
were limited to the Ruiz case, but his
observations while in Cuba OH the
progress of the rebellion have been laid
before the president in an unofficial
way, and will have much weight. There
is no doubt that an indemnity will be
promptly asked for the family of the
late DIR. Ruiz. Mr.. Calhoun so reported,
and the president will act upon it.
The United States will not make the
demand on the ground that DR.. Ruiz
was murdered, for that can not be
proved, although circumstances indi-
cate that he was. But confession on
the part of Spanish officials that he was
kept imprisoned, out of communication
with his friends, beyond the ~ hours
limit. will be urged as sufficient ground
for an indemnity claim that will proba-
bly, be fixed at $l50,00O.
Special Envoy Calhoun's unofficial re-
port on the rebellion has created the
greatest interest here 1t Is known that
he told the president Spain would not
be able to put down the rebellion. and
advised the necessity of an early inter.
vention. He does not believe anneXa-
tion at this time advisable, but believes
the interference of this government is
necessary to secure Spanish reforms,
and strengthening of the local author
ity i'll governmental affairs in the direc-
ton of home rule. If possible TO attain
it, the independence of the island would
be the best solution of the present prob
lem, according TO Mr.. Calhoun's idea.
He is doubtful of the propriety of add.
ing such population as exists in Cuba
TO that of the United States.
The president will act very much in
accordance with what Mr.. Calhoun has
suggested it is thought, and in short
time make known his views to congress.
That it will be an intervention in favor
of immediate cessation of hostilities is
the opinion Of those who have an inside
knowledge of the administration for.
eign policy And the president may
even take the ground that the island
should be free and propose terms to
Spain.

Premier Canovas willing TO Pay Mrs. Ruis
$4,000 and Is Severely Criticised.
New York, June ia dispatch TO
The World from Madrid says; Premier
Canovas is willing to pay the widow of
DR.. Ruiz 10000, if the United States
government will not press an official
claim. The announcement of this fact
has aroused vehement public opposition,
which the Madrid press is inhaming,
The newspapers blame the government
for allowing DIR. Ruiz 10 be killed, but
censure it most for acknowledging it,
They say Spain is under the iron heels
of the Yankees.
The impartial bitterly declares that
neither Cuba nor hundred Cubas
would be worth the sad humiliation
to which, in the name of the nation, the
Canoyas cabinet subjects us with de-
plorable frequency. Recognition Of the
claim puts Spain as a nation beneath
the Moors, because this dentist, for
whose death such an enormous sum will
have 10 be paid, was not killed in a
Spanish prison. by undisciplined natives
and semi-savages, but by funotionaries
of her Catholic majesty's government.
The present Spanish demand for the
truth about Cuba, already met by .
fearless statement that the military sit.
untion there is hopeless, 10 answered
now by the first definite admission of
cruelty. The Spanish officers actions
are not so much deplored as their being
discovered, while IL is their being &C.

that the Cuban war Is one of conquest

against Spain. II constitutes an insolva-
bic problem, and the island should have
been given up year ago"
