ALITTLE GIRLS STRANGE STORY.
SAYS SHE WAS KIDNAPPED BY
A SPANISH COUNTESS.
Alleges That She Was Enticed to
the Woman's Home and After
ward Inhumanly Treated.

CHICAGO, Jan. PA strange story
of alleged kidnapping and cruelty was
told to the police to-day by Minnie Rob-
erts, 14-year-old Chicago girl and
her guardian, Emile Charbanneau.
The girl disappeared from her home
at SS1 West Twelfth street last Febru
ary, and for months the police searched
for her, but without success. Accord
ing 10 the girls narration, she was kid
mapped by Lolite Badosea, Spanish
Countess, who has been living at $40
Elm street. and has been held a prisoner
from last February until few days
ago.
Escaping from the Countess, the girl
claims that she tried to find her par
ents, but learned that they had gone to
California, whereupon she sought the
protection of Nine. Charbonneau.
Countess Badosea. as she claims she
has the right to be called, is under ar
rest.
In her own quaint way the little girl
told her story, the result of which was
the arrest on Mrs. Badosea, the alleged
Countess, on charge of cruelty TO
children. The warrant alleges beating,
kicking, torturing and otherwise abus-
called into the case.
Minnie, according to her story is the
daughter Of French parents, and can
speak that language fiuently. Her par
ents We're poor. and year ago her
father went to California. hoping to
regain the fortune which once was his.
Shortly after his departure, Minnie
says. she was forced to so into the
streets selling matches to support her
mother and younger brother and sister.
In the course of her wanderings one day
in June 1897, the little match girl met
Lolita Badosea, who bought several
boxes Of matches. She engaged Min
ME in conversation. and learned that
the girl could speak French When
Minnie called, at her request. it is said
Countess Badsoea induced the girl 10
stay with her and share her elegant
home. Minnie declares she was shown
! the beautiful furnishings of the apart
ments. and was carried away with what
she saw. The offer Of the Countess
was accepted. and Minnia's humble
home knew her no more. She became
one Of the family OF the Countess. and
taught the latter's children the French
language.
a few mcnths after the girls intro
duction into the home of the Coun-
tess. the story continues. the woman
began abusing her. and the girl finally
returned TO her old home, but found
that her mother had moved to Califor-
MIA. TisSn she appealed TO Nine. Char
sonaeau. and the arrest of Countess
Eadesea followed.
Mrs. Badosea says the charge against
+ her is the outcome OF malice.

EXECUTION OF RUIZ.
Resolution Asking for Informatio
Favorab1y Reported.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The House
Committee on Foreign Affairs to-day
agreed to make favorable report on
the resolution of Williams of Missouri
asking the State Department for in
formation on the Ruiz case The reso-
luton is as follows:
Resolved That the Secretary of
State be directed. if in his opinion com
patible with the public interest, to send
to the House the reports made to the
department by Consul-General Lee and
other reports made to the department
by Consuls or commercial agents of the
United States on the subject of the ex-
ecution Of Colonel Ruiz by the Cuban
military authorities"
There was no division over the reso-
luton, and the vote was unanimous in
favor of reporting it. Beyond this there
was no reference to the Cuban ques-
ton, except in the reference to the sub
committee of the various Cuban resolu-
tionS introduced recently
The Ruiz referred to in the resolution
is not DR.. Ruiz, killed at a suburb a
Havana. whose case has attracted much
attention, but is Colonel Ruiz. the
Spanish officer at Havana, who is said
TO nave gone under a flag of truce to
meet the insurgents and urge them to
accept autonomy. After entering the
insurgent lines, his proffer of autonomy
was rejected, and he was executed by
order of the insurgent commander.
Williams, author of the Ruiz reso-
luton, says the inquiry is for the pur-
pose of correcting a public misapprehen-
80 ~
of Colonel Ruiz. The latter, Williams
says. never had the right to claim i'm
munity under a flag of truce as he had
been warned by the insurgent com
mander Aranguren that he would be
amenable to the DEGREES of the insur-
gent Government one of which was
that any person entering the insurgent
camp and proposing autonomy should
be treated as a spy.
Williams says there is authority for
stating that Colonel Ruiz entered Aran-
guren's camp with this understanding
and took his chances accordingly. He
said also that he urged autonomy, and
suggested that specific benefits would
be conferred upon the insurgent lead
ers II they accepted the proposition
One of Arangurens associates demand
ed that he do his duty in accordance
with the decree of the insurgent Gov
ernment, whereupon Ruiz was shot

BAILEY'S NEW TOCSIN.
1t Pertains to Chicago Platform
Speaks of Fairy Stories.

Leon o. Bailey came home from Louis
vile yesterday and characterized all the
stories about the Croker deal as fairy tales
AS far as he was concerned. For a few
days after the stories were published there
was a deep silence among those mentioned
in the plot but when ex-Judge Cox and
other silverites began to make things warm
for the Tammanyites, the latter began to
talk of pipe Dreams which the newspapers
have been publishing. Mr.. Bailey says he
met Croker several times at Chicago, but
had very little to say to him. certainly moth
ing about deals. He is sure Morss, Taggart
ct al. saw nothing of the New York boss,
but this much Mr.. Bailey does want to say,
and that is that he still stands on the Chi
cago platform. He gave birth to something
almost good his "tocsin" utterance
when he said: THE principles therein enun-
ciated are eternally right and must ulti-
mately prevail. To abandon them or to mod
ify our position by the slightest shadow of
reasoning would not only show us treacher
Gus to the truth, but forever stamp the
party as unworthy of public confidence and
incapable of carrying on the affairs of
state"
And he slyly grins at ex-Judge Cox.

NO MORE CANDIDATES.
Friends of Senatorial Aspirants
Think Enough Are Out.

There was a dearth of politicians around
tho Denison yesterday. Mr.. Hanly and Mr..
Beveridge were both out of the city, and
their followers took the day to look after
matters other than political Mr.. Posey ar
rived at noon and remained for the after
noon only. He disclaimed any political sig
niacance to his visit and stated that he
was merely on his way home from Louis
Vile, where he addressed the Elks at their
memorial service. He had nothing to say
regarding his senatorial chances other than
to express his satisfaction over the present
condition of affairs.
The possibility of a dark horse securing
the caucus nomination is being provided
against by the friends of all the avowed
candidates. The sentiment is being fostered
among them that the selection should be
made only from those who are and nave
been open candidates. The proposition met
the unqualified approval Of most of these
friends. A special effort will be made to
make the incoming members of the Legis-
lature feel this sentiment and prevent them
from looking elsewhere for senator.
