TO ASK $4,000 FROM SPAIN
In Spirit of Moderation the Original Claim
is Gut Down.
Instructions Given by the Govern
ment to Minister WOOdfOrd Regard
Ing Settlement of the Ruiz Case.

1t v-IS officially announced at the State
has directed Minister Woodford to formally
present to the Spanish government and
press the claim of the family of the late
DR.. Ruiz for indemnity on account of his
death in Jail in Cuba for the amount of
$4,000.
Minister Woodfords instructions Just
completed set out the reasons for the pre-
sentation of the claim i'm detail They
show that this government, animated
solely by the love of truth and right and
spirit of justice. after mature consideration
of the substantial, uncontroverted facts in
the case, has reached the conclusion that
under the treaty of 1795 and the protocol
of 1877, between the United States and
Spain, and the law of 1S21-made part of
the protocol-all Of the proceedings against
Ruiz after his arrest and the notice given
to the Cuban authorities of his American
citizenship were illegal, wrongful and ar
bitrary.''
1t Is held that these proceedings were in
violation of his treaty rights, and resulted
in his death, and that, therefore, they war
rant the demand for indemnity
While the circumstances would appear
to justify demand for much larger sum
of money, yet Minister Woodford is In
structed to say that in proof of the spirit
of moderation and absolute justice with
which the United States government is
animated, the government of Spain is re-
quested to pay only The indemnity named

The Senate rate of IL cents a pound on

No positivei information has been given

A sEEkER AFTER OFFICE.
She Wanted Ii Not for Herself, but
Her Husband.

There is frequently a strain of pathos in
the display of innocent confidence with
which some seekers after public favor
make their petitions to men in power. This
is particularly the case where the seeker
is a woman. Women whose husbands or
brothers are unfortunate and out of en-
ployment read some romantic story of how
energetic and winning wife or sister has
come to Washington, and by the mere
power of her pleading and the justice of
her claim won her cause and taken home
to the husband or brother the joyous an
nouncement of his appointment to a lucra-
tive position.
These things occur only in romantic sto-
ries, but they excite the imagination and
delude the innocent and inexperienced.
very conspicuous case of the devoted
efforts of lady in behalf of her husband
is attracting attention here now among
the many struggles that are going on for
federal appointment The lady is young
and beautiful and accomplished and evil
IDENTIFY woman above reproach, who com
mands the respect even of strangers and
of the public men whom she importuneS.
Many weeks ago she started out alone and
single-handed. with the determination that
she would get an appointment for her hus-
band. She had interviewed the President
and members of the cabinet many times.
and has overcome difficulties which would
have discouraged any man. She has made
the acquaintance of nearly every man Of
influence in the Senate, and has got the in
dorsement of most Of them for her hus
band. Not a day passes that she Is not at
the Capitol, and she visits the State De
partment almost as frequently. She is not
bold nor obtrusive, and she conducts her
self always in becoming manner. She is
simply the very paragon of persstency.
Hope hangs around her like rose tinted
vapor. But she has not got the appoint
ment. and will probably quit ultimately
with less belief in the romance of office
seeking.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE United States

on iompkinsville, Staten Island, about
half-past IL o'clock this morning.
The Brooklyn left New York on June 2

the Brooklyn in the great naval parade
elected most favorable comment from those
who saw the grand demonstrations A sad

OF the Brooklyn TO foreign waters was the
death OF MISS Ellen Miller, daughter of
Rear Admiral Miller the Commander OF
the Brooklyn. Miss Miller died on July
In London from typhoid fever and was

by senate Rates ON White Pine.
The senators who voted for the one-dol-
lar rate on white pine lumber, which was
adopted by the Senate, are expressing
great Indignation at the attitude alleged TO
have been assumed by Senator Burrows
on this question in conference. Senator's
Pettigrew and Teller have been threaten
ing to call Mr.. Burrows action on the
conference into question in the Senate. 1t
is understood that they have been strongly
urged not to do SO, but they still have il
in contemplation, and il is the announced
intention of Mr.. Pettigrew to attack the
Michigan senator's course If a two-dollar
duty on white pine is included in the con-
ference report, if he does not, indeed make
such an attack before, coupled with the
suggestion that the Michigan senator
should be replaced on the conference.
The statement is made that the Senate,
having appointed cOnferees to maintain
the Senate rates in conference, it was the
duty OF these conferees TO represent the
Senate without regard to their personal
preferences.
The complaining senator's say that Mr.
BurrowS has stood out for the House
rale on white pine from the first, and has
fought the Senate rate in conference and
