$4,000 Ruiz Indemnity.

WASHINGTON. July II. - This govern
ment has directed United States Minister
Woodford to formally protest to the Span
ish government and press the claim of the
family of the late DR.. Ruiz for indemnity
in 1900 on account of his death in Jail in
Cuba. Mr.. Woodford's instructions, just
completed. set out the reason for the pres
entation of the claim in detail. They show
that this government, animated solely by
the love of truth and right and a spirit of
justice, after mature consideration of sub
stantial, uncontroverted facts in the case,
has reached the conclusion that (under the
treaty of 1875 and the protocol of 1877 be-
tween the United States and Spain and the
law of 1921 made part of the protocoD all
of the proceedings against Ruiz after his
arrest and the notice given were irregular
While the circumstances would justify a
demand for a much larger sum of money
yet Mr.. Woodford is instructed to say that
in proof of the spirit of moderation and alb
solute justice with which the United States
government is animated the governments
of Spain is requested to Jay the indemnity

AN OPULENT CAR COMPANY
Bothered with Too Much Business-Its
Advertising Car.

Some time ago a representative of the
Indianapolis Concert Association. which is
giving free concerts in the parks. called up
the office of the Citizens Street-railroad
Company by phone and asked if the COM
pany would not put an advertising car on
the tracks announcing the free concerts at
the parks. The request was met with the
response that the company had enough
trouble handling the crowds that attended
these concerts without advertising the en-
tertainments
This conversation occurred two or three
weeks ago Since then a car has been
running over the street-car companys
tracks announcing various kinds of enter
tainments at Fairview. This car has pro-
voked some comment from those who re-
member that George w. Powell, while SUI
perintendent of police, stopped the street.

farmers all they had to spare and the
authorized committee secured very little.
The committee in this city collected $lSS.50
and supplied the commissary here with pro-

been canvassing in Indianapolis, made their

spoke in ommendable terms of other cit-

in getting $16S at indianapolis. The COM
mittee said they found numerous infuen-
tal citizens of indianapolis who declared
they were willing to help the strikers in
case that the Governor called for help.
The Governor stated to the committee that
he had sent representatives through the
mining district, and should they find the

Plunge of 1O1 Feet to Save n Boy
from Drowning.

CLEVELAND, O., July 17.-John Nor
man, a carpenter while crossing the Cen
trail viaduct last evening, heard the screams
of woman on the docks below. He looked
over and saw a boy struggling in the river.
He leaped to the rail, and, posing a mo-
ment, dove 101 feet through the air to the
river. He struck the water clearly and in
a second came to the surface. The boy
had sunk, but Norman went down again
and brought him up, unconscious. He strug-
gled with his burden to the dock, where
the two were dragged out. The boy, whose
name is John Millard, after vigorous eff
forts was restored to consciousness, and in
the meantime Norman walked away. He
said he felt all right, but, after his friends
placed in the care of a physician. Norman

He remembered when he was boy in New
York that one Sunday while the congrega-
ton was worshiping newsboys ran along
the streets shouting: Extra Nicksburg
is captured! Instantly everybody in the
church was all excitement, and a deacon
went out, bought a paper and, returning,
handed it to the good pastor, who laid aside
his manuscript and read the news, and the
congregation arose and sang the DoXology.
This was another instance to show the use
of the Sunday newspaper. In conclusion
he again spoke of the changed condition OF
things and said he must take more liberal
view regarding the Sunday paper and other
things.

WHY TEWFIk GAVE IN.
Germany Left the Sultan NO Doubt
About His Position.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 1.-THE an
nouncement by Tewfik Pasha to the embas-l
sailors on yesterday that the Sultan had
agreed to the principle of their demands
and was prepared to accept their views on
the conditions of peace was due to a mes
sage sent him prior to the meeting to the
effect that if the Porte had not previously
replied satisfactorily, the ambassadors
would adopt an important decision with
gard to their attitude toward Turkey. Tew-
fix Pasha turned up at the last moment
and announced that he had been instructed
to accept the proposals of the powers.
This change of front is now understood
to be the result of the action of Germany.
The reply of Emperor William to the Sui
tan's personal was ambiguous and had in
duced him to believe that Germany would
support him. When, however, Germany
found that the powers were resolved on
coercion, then Emperor William, desiring
to prevent such an eVentuality, instructed
his ambassador to go to the palace and
state distinctly that the Turkish govern
ment must conform absolutely to the de-
cision of the powers.
1t is said, however, that the council of
ministers is not unanimous in favor of
yielding, Consequently further opposition
is feared although the ambassadors pre-
tend to be satisfied with Tewfik Pasha
declaration. The Sublime Porte has in
formed the ambassadors that it has aban-
doned its intention to send reinfOrcements
to Crete. The ambassadors and Tew1k
PaSha met this morning at the Tophaneh
palace to continue the negotiations.
