Woodford In Madrid, which have resulted
In the inauguration of autonomy in Cuba

In. the prosecution of the war. 1t Is ex-
pected by the administration that Spain
may take an argumentative course and
endeavor to rebut evidence produced by
the United States. showing that Ruiz
was murdered, by counter evidence that
he committed suicide.
The department received a letter from
Mrs. Ruiz few days ago in which she
asked to be informed as to the steps
taken to procure the payment Of her
claim. Mrs. Ruiz wrote that she was in
needy circumstances and expressed the
hope that the United States would do all

A GOOD PRECEDENT
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The Washington
correspondent of the Herald telegraphs:
Encouraged by the excellent effect
of the visit of the battleship Maine to
Havana the administration has deter
mined to send another man of war up
on a friendly visit to the smaller Cuban
ports The vessel selected Is the cruiser
Montgomery, which is now taking on
board a supply of coal at Key West.
In addition to this the armored cruiser
Brooklyn, now at the Brooklyn navy
yard, will leave in a few days for a
cruise in the West Indies. She will not
touch Cuba. The Montgomerys mis-
sion, like that of the Maine TO Havana,
Is purely friendly in character.
No Significance can be attached to the
cruise Of the Brooklyn. In explanation
of her cruise 1t is stated that it Is the
desire OF the authorities to display the
American flag In Venezuela and Colon
bian waters, hence the Brooklyn's or
ders.
The only other vessel this government
now has in waters Of the West indies is
the gunboat Wilmington at st. Vim
cent.
In its determination to have American
men Of war visit Cuban ports the ad-
ministration is simply putting into force
the policy pursued during the two ad-
ministrations of President Grant There
was nothing unusual during the ten
years war in the visit Of American war
ships to Cuban ports. 1t is desired by
the authorities to have the ships call
freely at Cuban ports in order to show
that the United States does consider the
relations between this country and
Spain strained.

STREETS ARE PosTRoADS
Telephone Companies Cannot Be De.
MED Right of Use

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. LIN the
United States court of appeals today
Judge Simonton handed down an opin-
ion In the case of the city of Richmond
against the Bell Telephone and Tele-
graph company. The case involves the
act of congress Of 1886 declaring that the
streets of a city are post roads OF the
United States. Judge Simonton holds
that while the act specified only tele-
graph companies as entitled to Its pro-
visions a telephone line is to all in
tents the same thing and therefore en-
titled to it's privileges. The Bell Tele-
phone company's charter having ex-
pired, the city exercised its stipulated
right to revoke 1t, but was enjodned from
interfering with the company's poles
and wires. The effect Of the decision is
to modify the injunction so as to pre-
vent the city from driving the company
from it's streets, but the city is to retain
her police power over it.
