Judge Day. an Especial Friend
Of the President, Discussing
the Situation.
He Will Probably Be Sent to

Case
With Instructions to Report
What He SeeS---A Letter
From Gomez.

WASHINGTON, March 81. - Judge
William r. Day Of Canton, the life.
long friend of President Mckinley, has
arrived here and was at the White
House in close consultation. In regard
to this conference, Secretary Porter
says that nothing had yet been deter.
mined in regard to the Cuban question,
and that it might be several days yet
before a decision was reached. 1t is
known, however, that the president is
considering the advisability Of having
Judge Day so to Havana, as the legal
representative of the state department,

alleged murder in prison of DR.. Ruiz.
why Leo Could Not Serve.
Consul General Lee informed the
state department some time ago that
Spanish Investigations as rule were
mere farces that he could not consent
to be present at that which is to look
into the death of DR.. Ruiz,
first because he had no confidence in it,
and secondly because he was not a
lawyer. He suggested that it might
be we'll to have one of the law officers
of the state department present in
Havana at the time, especially in view
of the fact that he himself expected to
be relieved shortly. This suggested the
idea that the representative sent there
might at the same time make a conf
Dental report on the situation in the
island.
There is no one in whom President
Mckinley has such entire confidence as
he reposes in Judge Day, who is his
life long friend and neighbor,
and whose discretion and good judg.
ment We're long ago established. The
present proposition is to have him
60 to Havana, as the representative of
the state department at the Ruiz inves-
tigation, and improve the opportunity
to look over the field and make an un.
prejudiced report of the situation.
The Spanish minister, De LONE, has
seen Secretary Sherman very often of
late, and while no open negotiations
have been carried on, has intimated
that if the insurgents would accept
anything at all short of independence
Spain would be ready to meet them
half way. In view Of this condition OF
affairs. it is possible that Judge Day. il
