President Mckinley and Secretary Sherman
what he learned in Cuba about the condition of
affairs there; but he will not make any written
report. A positive statement to this effect was
obtained to-day from an authoritative source.
Furthermore. it lis explained that Consul-Gen-
eral Lee would write the report in the Ruiz case
and Mr.. Calhoun may add something In tho
nature OF. an Endorsement OF tho Consul-Gen-
erals views. The Administration intends to be
very wary concerning everything relating to
Mr.. Calhoun's mission. While he went 70 Cuba
with the approval Of the Spanish Government
merely to assist Gen. Lee In his inquiry into the
killing Of DR.: Ruiz. his principal business was to
ascertain existing conditions for the guidance Of
President Mckinley In action on the Cuban
question. This cannot be done in a formal way,
however, without leaving the Government open
to the criticism from Spain that Mr.. Calhoun
violated courtesies extended by q friendly
nation.
