About foui Play VIII Hear Prom II
Later. Notwithstanding Promises OF Pro-
lection by the American Government.
NEW York, MAY 2l.-A dispatch 20
the Herald from Havana, via Key
West, says:
THE joint investigation of the Ruiz
case does not get along very well. and
there - some danger that the United
States representative will find himself
forced To Withdraw because of delay
and the tendency to politely ask and
insist upon undcsira ble conditions.
News comes that Fcrder who figured
In Lees report of the Ruiz case, and
who was in Jail with the unfortunate
American in Guanabaco at the time of
Ruiz's death. has been rearrcsted quiet
ly, probably as warning To him and
others that while Spain consents po>
litely to free American investigation
she has her own ideas about the duty
of her subjects in ease of this kind.
Ferder asserts that he i an American
citizen. but not registered. 1t is said
also that since Mr.. Calhoun's arrival,
just as before tien. Lee began his in
vestigation last winter, word has been
passed down the line that all persons
who talk much about foul play will
hear from il later. no matter how
prodigal the American government
may be with promises Of protection at
any cost.
Mr.. Calhoun is displaying much pa
thence, and hopes 10 get to work with
the actual hearing by next Monday.
There is little doubt that he will either
confirm Gen. Lees report of the Ruiz
case in full or decide that a proper in.
vestigation of the facts is impossible 1
now. because he can not make the wit.
ness believe that they will be protected. |
IL Is reported that two new witnesses
have been found who heard important
matters in the Jail ON the day that Ruiz
died.
Gen. Weyler is expected here soon,
and he has sent ahead of him a long in
terview TO the local press, in which he
makes the statement that the Cubans
are worthy and intelligent people. and
that as four western provinces are
wholly paciticd. the time To put the re-
forms in operation has come.

Under the existing tariff bituminous
coal pays 40 cents ton. The Dingley
bill proposes 10 make this rs cents. In
1856 the imports of bituminous coal
into the United States were 1.243,s35
tons. The exports were 2.2i6.2s4. The
figures from Canada were: Imported
from Nova Scotia. New Brunswick. etc,
l23,4 0i tons; from Quebec, Ontario.
etc, 3o,9S7; from British Columbia.
621,2J7; exports to these three divisions
respectively, Alb tons, 1.672,3O2 and
1904. Canada now proposes in case the
Dingiey rate is imposed TO rctaliate by
a high duty on our coal. which will
certainly not stimulate exports. Here
is an export business worth twice as
much as the corresponding import bust
ness, and IL is proposed to run the risk
OF running the former for the sake of
scrcwing S350.000 taxes out of the lat
ter, and this on the plea Of reviving
American industry. Can any sane man
fail TO see that, even assuming that
imports do not fall off. il is hardly
worth while for the sake of a paltry
S55O,OOO to tempt Canada into running
an established business nearly twice as
large as that which is to yield the tax?

declaring that it was a type OF many
villages, as having roads that are liter

country roads are the kind where q

frequently to the knees and sometimes
so far down into the thick mud that it
is necessary to haul him out with dou-

That text is q suitable one from
which to talk on the good roads or bad

where, for every one knows that "bad

The presentation Of our case in moder-

az we should never be called on to re-

at England we forget that that nation,
our own kindred, takes nearly half the
goods we export from the whole United

takes As. 81 per cent Of our exports. In
