When we stated that the troops
of the two U. S. men-of-war now in
port could not scale the wall men
toned, under fire, we certainly did
not mean that fear would prevent
them from capturing given point.
The bravery and gallantry of every
man wearing the uniform of Uncle
Sam is w2ll-known to the world. If
the "boys" were ordered into the
Internal regions, they would obey
and go there, even if they knew that
they were never to return. In our
humble opinion we believe that the
wall.scaling as practiced on Tuesday
by the combined forces of the two
American men-of-war is impractical
BILE if not impossible in actual war
fare. Fifty sharpshooters in the
church can prevent the scaling Of
the wall at any time, even if the
stormers double the nnmbers OF
those who turned out at the late
drill.

LEES REPORT NOT RECEIVED.
Has Not Yet shown Up nj the state
Dcpnrt rtInCnt.

Has Not Yet shown Up nj the state
Department..
WASHINGTON, June S.--Assistant Secre-
tary Day said today that the report of Con-
sui General Leo upon the results of the in
ve1tlgation made in Havana in the Ruiz case
had not been received at the State depart
ment. Consequently it was not possible TO
learn whether the publications purporting to
be the report were correct. 1t is believed
that Ruiz died while in Jail in violation Of
his treaty rights.
The question before the department of the
largest Importance is what shall be the next
step. The wife of Ruiz has filed with tbs
department claim for $150,000 for the death
of her husband. The Spanish contention has
been that he was not killed and that he was
not treated harshly. General Lees inquiry
is understood to have fsiled to bring out
the trutt on these points. but his statement
on another, namely that of his confinement
in violation of treaty rights, appears to
make the first two points nonessential and to
leave the case resting on the broad claim
that in confining DR.. Ruiz more than seventy
two houro without permitting him to COM
municate with his friends. or trying him, the
Spanish officials in Cuba have assumed all
responsibility for the results of that extra
confinement.
The fact being established that Dr. Ruiz
kept up his citizenship by registering him
self at American consulates in Cuba from
time to time as required by regulations, is
taken as an offset against the claim that by
continuous residence in Cuba for nearly
twenty years he had forfeited his rights as
an American citizen, go IL is surrnised that
the next step in the case s-iil be the pres
entation of claim against the Spanish gov
ernment in behalf of the family of the vic
tim of this Illegal imprisonment.

ORDER A NEW SUGAR SCHEDULE
Republicans Hold II Caucus and Dis
cuss the TariH Bill.

WASHINGTON juno S.-The republics.
caucus today was we'll attended nearly every
republican senator in the city being present
Great interest was manifested in the caucus
because 1t was known that an effort was to
be made to secure a new sugar schedule and
one which ali republican senators could cup
port. Senator Aldrich cf Rhode Island was
present. and after the caucus adjourned said
Il was very successful and that he felt that
the republicans were going 20 stand together
on all schedules of the bill and that an
agreement would be reached where differ
ences Of opinion existed Almost the entire
time Of the caucus was devoted to consldera-
tion OF the sugar schedule. Other features
where there are differences were not reached.
No agreement was reached in regard to the
provision which will not leave the matter in
Hawaiian treaty, and the committee is eX-
pected TO report some amendments or a
any uncertlin condition or absolutely abro-
gate the existing reciprocity treaty.
An important feature of the caucus wGs
the determination reached to vote together as
a party, which insures favorable action on all
contested schedules and the passage of the
bill as approved by the majority. This de
termination was reached upon a suggestion
made by Senator Thurston. This suggestion
led to the most interesting incident OF the
caucus. There had been several references
to the meeting as a conference" Mr.
Thurstou objected TO this designation. say
ing that conferences never bound any one and
that he wanted 1t dehuitely understood
whether this meeting was TO be binding OF a
friendly chat without further results, for II
II was not to bind all senators on all sched-
ules. he would not agree to abide by the de-
elsi"n upon the sugar question.
This speech brought Senator Hanna to his
feet with an earnest plea for party harmony
and unltod effort or all the features of the

NEW YORK, June S.--Not since the COM
mencement of the strike nearly four weeks
ago, have the striking talors exhibited
such a boisterous disposition as that which
marked their every move today. Inspired
with new ideas, inculcated at last nights

Contractor Rothenberg, in Easton street

the interference of the committee and sent
for the police At the arrival of the latter
twenty-five nonunion men were induced to
quit work and leave the building. A fight
between Rothenberg and the picket fol-
lowed, which resulted in slight injury to
the former and the arrest of three of the
latter.
The committee then called on Contractor
Tack in Attorney street and lessened his
force by twenty-five. When going upstairs
somebody shouted Fire" and the house
was soon in an uproar. In obedience to
the order of the union party. twenty oper-
ators left their benches and went to the
rendezvous of the striking tailors in Or
chard street.
The last place in this tour visited by
the picket force was the shop of Con-

until the intervention Of u policeman, who

for the attempted onslaught on Strubeck,
