Chiefly, however, the girl falls upon the

WASHINGTON, May 3l.-The attempt of
a Havana newspaper to impugn in advance
the report that will be made to the Presi-
dent by Special Commissioner Calhoun, by
means of an attack on the letters which
have been printed as coming from Mr.. Pep
per, has had the effect to arouse the friends
of the newspaper man to his defense. Mr..
Peppers letters have been printed in the
Washington Evening Star so they have
fallen directly under the eye, not only of
Congress, but of the members of the di-
plomatic corps resident in Washington, and
have doubtless been used as the basis for
proprietors of the Star praise Mr.. Pepper
as an impartial correspondent, and say he
was not chosen out of consideration of his
relations TO the President and Mr.. Calhoun.
AS for the former, they were those that
might exist between any newspaper man
President through a campaign and had
earned his good opinion through his ac-
curate and fair work, while as for the
friendship of Mr.. Calhoun for MIR. Pepper,
it is the confident belief of Mr.. Peppers
employers that his work could not be in

Peppers work has been unfair towards the
Spanish side, it is pointed out that in last

mean anarchy and ruin for the best in

NO SECRETS OF THE RUIZ INQUIRY
COMMISSION REVEALED.
Reply to "a Havana Newspapers At
tack ON the American Envoy
Correspondent Pepper.

HAVANA, May 31.-W. ]. Calhoun, the
United States commissioner who is investi-
eating the death in the prison at Guiana
bacoa Of DR. Ricardo Ruiz, a naturaIzed
American citizen, was interviewed to-day
with reference to the article in the Dlarlo
de La Marina making an indirect attack
on the commissioner by criticising articles
which have appeared in a Washington
newspaper over the signature Of Mr.. Pep
per- who accompanied Mr.. Calhoun to
Cuba. Mr.. Calhoun said: Mr.. Pepper is
in no way connected with the commission.
On the contrary, he came to Havana on
his own account, as other correspondents
might have come. No secrets Of the COM
mission have been dvulged, nor has any
special information been supplied to him
which was not obtainable by other CORE
spondents. 1 suppose Mr.. Peppers informa-
ton was gathered from personal informa-
ton or from hearsay" G. w. Fishback, the
secretary of Mr.. Calhoun, was also inter-
viewed and expressed opinions similar to
those of the commissioner.
General FitZhugh Lee, the United states
consul general, disclaims exercising any in
huence over newspaper reports sent from
the insinuation Of the Diario de La Marina
that resident American correspondents
draw their inspiration from him.
Mr.. Pepper says he is much amused by
the attack of the Diario de La Marina. He
returned last night from Guanajay, where,
accompanied by Mr.. Fishback, he had been
on visit yesterday. He says his trip was
highly interest," ting. While returning to this
city. the car in which he was travelling was
derailed by a railroad accic ut but all the
passengers escaped without INJURY.
