IT WAS HER JOKE
ACTRESS MAKES A MONKEY OF
her HUSBAND.

| While They Are Quarreling She Tips a
Bottle of Carboiic Acid to Her Lips
and Makes Believe of Drinking It
Her Husband Hustles Her on to tho
Hospital and the Doctors Work the
stomach Pump Hard, But Get Nc
Foison-She Explains Il Was Simply
aJoke
New York, Dec. PIT is all a joke, u
| declared Mrs. Emily Busby, "a years
old. an actress. Of S1s West Forsy-four.h
street, after the surgeons at Roosevelt
! had applied tne stomach pump to re-
move carbolic acid which the young wo-
man said she had taken last night after
| a quarrel with her husbands.
The only traces OF acid the surgeons
could find We're three small burns OF her
chin and the marks made by the fluid
where it had spilled on her dress.
TIE young woman's husband is Barry
Busby, who told me ne is brother of
Amy Busby, VINO recently married and
retired from the stage, and of Georgia
Busby. Barry Busby is also engaged in
the theatrical business. taking compan-
les on the road for W. A. Brady.
Mr.. Busby had just returned from a
few days trip, leaving mis- wife at home.
TIE couple, who have been married six
years, quarreHed yesterday afternoon,
and shortly after 9 o'clock, when har-
mony had not been restored. Mrs. Busby
acid, held ii before iler husband and ex-
claimed:
II am going to drink this stuff and
end il all
Don't be foolish" retorted her nus
band, making light of her threat. Put
the bottle down and be reasona bie"
Mrs. Busby turned away from him and
tilted the bottle toward her lips. The
next moment she faced nim again and
told him she had taken an ounce Of the
contents. Mr.. Busby didn't stop to in
vestigate, but rushed out of the house
to the corner at Eighth avenue, where
Policeman Tierney, of the West Forty
seventh street station, was standing.
Cali an ambulance, quick!" he shout
ed. my wife has swallowed poison"
The policeman turned in hurry call
and went to the Busbys' apartments.
The house was astir and Mrs. Busby
seemed rather to enjoy the excitement.
There were some who were sceptical of
the young woman's attempt at suicide,
for her demeanor belied it, and even
her lips were not burned by the acid.
The husband would take ma chances,
however, and when she told DR.. Mac
Nider, who responded to the ambulance
call, that she had swallowed some OF the
poison, she was hustled off to the hos
pital. AS she was walking out Of the
house she said toner husband:
'T didn't swallow any. 1 only did it to
fool you
After a vain search for the poison in
terDaIly, Mr.. and Mrs. Busby left the
hospital.
They spent an hour making purchases
for today before returning home. Mr..
Busby said as he was entering the house
that it was "an a mistake" He evil
dently didn't appreciate the joke At
the hospital he said his wife had threat
ened 70 end hey life on several occasions.

New York, Dec 22.-T. Estrada Palma,
Of the Cuban junta, made the following
statement last night:
1.-The death of Colonel Ruiz did not oc-
cur, as the Spanish have put il, while he
was negotiating as a peace messenger
under flag of truce. Again and again
have the Cubans promulgated the law
that ali who came TO them with peace
propositions not based on the independ-
ence of Cuba should be treated as spies
and be dealt with accordingly. Colonel
Ruiz not only knew Of the existence Of
the law but, according 10 the Spanish ac-
counts, Was personally warned as TO his
fate.
General Blanoo and Secretary Gener-
al Congosto, too, were well aware OF the
existence Of the decree. Nevertheless,
these latter took advantage OF the un-
fortunate Quixotism Of Colonel Ruiz and
sent him TO the Cuban lines The blood
Of Colonel Ruiz is not ON the hands OF
The Cubans. but upon the heads Of Blan-
% and Congosto, who sent him to his
late.
"If the penalty OF the law had not
been carried into effect doubtless Spain
would have taken advantage of the fact
20 show that the Cubans were not in
earnest in their rejection Of autonomy
absolutely, but were willing to listen to
arguments. This decree was not pro-
mulgated because Cubans were afraid OF
disaffection in their ranks, but Ii is
known that innumerable commissioners
hc- ho Shai
return make false statements encourag-
Ing the beief that peace might be estab-
Iished on a basis other than independ-
ence. Suoh statements would only serve
the interests of Spain in gaining time,
with the resulting death of thousands,
owing TO the useless prolongation of the
war. Besides, the Cubans are advised
that the Spanish are seeking TO enter
the insurgent lines with the purpose of
assassinating the more important lead
ers. Documentary proof of this fact is
in our hands, and we are more cautious
when We remember that In 1879 General
Santiago de Cuba, to execute as many uu
armed Cubans as the latter thought nee
essary as an example.
1T is somewhat remarkable that with
the first news of the death OF Colonel
Ruiz came the announcement of the kill
ing by the Spanish Of forty sick and
wounded Cubans found in a hospital and
not voice was raised IN protest thereat.
The shooting Of Cuban prisoners by the
score passed almost without comment;
the thousands OF wounded Cubans slain
IN hospitals attract but little notice. Ac-
cording TO all the laws of civilized war
fare the Cubans from the beginning had
the right TO retaliate in kind, but they
have never done so. On the contrary, |
all prisoners taken by them were set at |
LIBERTY and the wounded attended to.
I'VE are denied by the entire world |
status as belligerents and might, there |
fore, claim that we have no obligations |
20 conduct the war as beEigerents, but |
we do not intend 10 take this stand. The
conditions obtaining in Cuba and the |
character OF the Spanish demand that |
we take the necessary measures 10 speed |
lily terminate the war by convincing the !
The Wichita daily eagle., 1897-12-23

world that independence alone can sat
isfy us.
I'VE accordingly issue a decree and
solemnly warn Spain of its enactment.
II despite this warning they persuade a
man to be rash enough to come TO US TO
treat on basis of autonomy we must
either acknowledge that our laws are
made only to be broken or be compelled
by painful duty to carry them out"
