Such is the content OF the letter slight
ly modified in spelling and composition.
The sentiment throughout has been
carefully preserved.
1t will be remembered by the readers
of the Citizen that we publish clipped
local from the Tombstone Proepector, a
day or two ago, which stated that the
warrant upon which Stiles was to have
been arrested few days ago was an old
bench warrant gotten out before the
close of the trial and was, according to
the Prospector, served by mistake II
it was as the Prospector states, Stiles
has nothing to fear from the authorities,
and there would be no need OF his re-
manning in hiding.
+, But if the attorneys faithfully pledged
their words of honor that, if Stiles
would give the court such evidence as it
wanted and as it needed, and that he
(Stiles) should be allowed his liberty for
doing so, then clearly the attorneys
and authorities ought to keep their
pledge. Ifsueh promises have been made,
and the court has in it's finding secured
the evidence without which no convic-
tions would have followed, Stiles, it
would seem, ought not to be further
hunted aud condemned.

II was understood by Stiles, and in

through the territory by the press, that
the prosecution promised Stiles his
freedom from further molestation on
this count If stiles, during the trial,
gave whatever evidence against the two
other prisoners, and was eventually ac-

THE CUBAN SITUATION.
Inside Information Concerning Action
Of the Convention.
WHY REPORT WAS AMENDED
II Was Found That Many Delegates
Would Not Vote For the First
Draft. which Root Had
Approved.

Washington, June 4.-Inside informa-
ton concerning the action of the Cuban
convention on the Plat amendment has
Just been received in Washington.
Ii appears that the first draft OF the
amendment, as interpptated by the
majority of the committee on relations
with the United States. was submitted
TO General Wood and by him sent to
Washington.
This draft was not an extensive docu-
ment and was approved by Secretary
Root, and mis- approval was made
known to the cuban convention. But
when the matter came up for discus
sion II was found that there were a
number of delegates whose votes could
only be obtained by the extended alter
atoms, amendments and interpreta.
! tions which finally were adopted by the
convention and rejected by Secretary
Root
1 II is stated officially that the people
of Cuba believed ut first that the plntt
amendment had been adopted and that
they were satisfied. Such was the
belief of the people of the United
States until the draft of the adopted
amendment was received here. The
belief is expressed in official circles
that the Cuban people as a whole are
perfectly satisfied with the Platt
amendment and that il will finally he
adopted.
M Extra session of Congress.
The cabinet has unanimously decided
that existing conditions do not warrant
the calling Of an extra session of con
SreSS this summer. Secretary Root and
Attorney General Knox both rendered
legal opinions TO the effect that the
authority to government OF the Philip
pines vested in the president by the
Spooner amendment was ample. These
opinions We're concurred in by all the
members of the cabinet.
The decision of the cabinet was an.
nounced after the cabinet meeting in
the following statement issued by Sec
letary Cortelyou:
The president has determined that
existing conditions do not require or
warrant calling congress together dur.

GrinnelI, Ia, June a. = Professor
George ID. Heron, charged with con-
duct unbecomng minister, was call
ed for trial in the Congregational
church here. Thirteen churches of the
district We're represented by 20 jurors,
eight of whom were said to favor ex-
pulsion even before hearing testimony.
No defense was expected, and evil
dence introduced in the Heron divorce
suit was expected to form most of the
testimony. Considerable surprise was
expressed when it was announced that
Dr. Heron had sent letter in his own
defense, dealing with his specific indi-
vidual case and not with marriage and
divorce in general.
The writer stated that he was called
on n divine mission as a sort of new
prophet and that his wife did not give
him her sympathy and appreciation. SO
that the home atmosphere was uncon-
genial. He and his wife discussed the
matter many times, he alleged, and
finally agreed TO separate and he went
away that the dcsertion plea might be
acceptable in court.
