Jose Congosto the Spanish consul at
Philadelphia who acts for the Spanish
government the former will it is said
agree with .ne statement of Consul Gen-
eral Lee that Dr. Ruiz died from con-
cussion of the brain the result of vio-
lence after solitary confinement of more
than thirteen days regardless of his
treaty rights.
Consul General Lee declined at yester-
day's session to auction the witnesses
Ti Jo were interrogated only by the Spanish
representative. Consul General Lee
will shortly make a report in the Ruiz
ease and Mr. Calhoun will make a fur-
ther report on other matters such as the
money question the state of the insur-
rection the condition of American inter-
ests and the general suffering due to Cap-
tain General Weyler's style of campaign.
Consul General Lee's position is just
what it was in February last. He holds
that Spain is responsible for Ruiz' death
' because he was deprived of his treaty
rights. The exact facts as to how Dr.
Ruiz received the blow which killed him
Gen. Lee and Mr. Calhoun could not
learn because half the witnesses ex-
amined by the commission were pris-
oners and it is believed were afraid to
testify fully. The remaining witnesses
were the jailers who would not testify
so as to incriminate themselves.
The relief of suffering Americans by
Consul General Lee goes on daily.' Sev-
eral hundred have already been assisted.
A prominent and influential Spanish
resident of Havana upon being ques-
tioned with reference to the suggested
sale of Cuba authorized the representa-
tive of the Associated Tress to tell the
American people that he favored the
sale of Cuba not to the Cubans but to
the United States for the sake of avoid-
ing in the future ruin desolation and
bloodshed.

Berlin May 29. (Copyrighted. 1897
by the Associated Tress.) The trial of
Herr von Tausch the former chief of the
secret political police charged with per-
jury treason and forgery which began on
Monday last and continued throughout
the week monopolized public uttention.
The proceedings will last for another
week. A number of revelations have been
made. The presiding judge repented ex-
pressed indignation ut the net work of
corruption and baseness into which the
depositions of the defendants threw light.
Von Luetzow admitted that the names
of well known citizens were frequently
forged to receipts for money received as
compensation for spy service. Von
Tausch said the police commissioners had
to shield the criminal acts of their sub-
ordinate agents otherwise no police com-
missioned could accomplish anything as
usually the most clever agents were the
worst men from a moral standpoint. The
prisoner related a number of damaging
incidents against the owners and editors
of Berlin newspapers. Herr Schweiu-
hurg the owner of a Berlin paper was
charged with receiving an annual bribe
of 30000 marks from the Discoute so-
ciety. It was elicited that Norninn-Sehiminnn
who was implicated in the scandal which
resulted in Von Luetzow being sentenced
to sixteen months' imprisonment iu De-

The testimony next week of the minis
ter for foreign affairs Baron Marschall
von uieberstein and of the German am
bassador to Austria Count Philip von
Euleuberg is awaited with curiosity.
The government's virtual defeat in thp
diet on the law of association has aroused
considerable interest in parliamentary cir
cles as to whether Prince Hohenlohe the
imperial chancellor Baron Marschall von
Hieberstein the minister for foreign af-
fairs and Dr. von Boettischer. the Im
perial secretary of state for the interior
are still in the emperor's hands and just
now it is said that Dr. Miquel the min-
ister of finance may become the successor
of Prince Hohenlohe the emperor placing
great connaence in JJr..Miquel s skill. Dr.
aiiquei nowever. is in poor health.
As an important outcome of the agita
tion a up to tne aw of associations hill.
the socialists of Prussia have resolved to
take part in future in the diet elections.
Even though the prevailing electoral sys-
tem does not give them a change of elect-
ing their own candidates it will enable
the socialists to throw victory in many
districts to the liberal candidates as
against the conservatives. This change
of tactics upon the part of the socialists
is expected to gain for them another quar-
ter of a million Prussian votes which
could also be used in reichstag elections.
there was another sensational trial this
week the prisoners being charged with
treasonable acts in favor of Russia and
committed at Thorn the most important
Prussian fortress on the Russian border.
Fahren a fortification master and a
court official named Albrecht were the
principal defendants. Several Russians
go-betweens fled the country in time to
escape arrest. The evideuce showed that
important military secrets especially re-
garding the nature of the equipments of
the Prussian frontier fortifications had
been betrayed. Fuhren was sentenced to
four years' penal servitude and Albrecht
to six months' imprisonment.
The fisenl year just closing shows the
surplus of the imperial budget to be 190-
000000 marks and the surplus of the
Prussian budget to be nearly 100000000
marks.
Much astonishment is expressed at the
refusal of the emperor to attend the gor-
geous banquet offered him in connection
with the fall maneouvers by the city of
Weisbaden. As the sole reason for his
refusal the emperor cited the large ex-
pense and the luxury of a feast costing
25000 marks. Hitherto the emperor has
favored large expenditures on similar oc-
casions. According to an official report 250 for-
eigners have been expelled from Germnny
this year up to the month of May includ-
ing forty-six Americans.
. Henry Wolfsohn of New York has ar-
ranged with Professor Klengel the well
known cellist for a limited number of
concerts in America this fall.
Mrs. Richard Olney wife of the former
secretary of state is on a visit here to
her daughter. .
Embarrassed the Millionaire.
San Francisco May 29. Millionaire E.
J. Baldwin has been caught napping by
his nemesis Emma Ashley. He was sit-
ting in the office of the Baldwin hotel read-
ing a newspaper when Miss Ashley who
happened to be passing suddenly present-
ed and asked him to buy a ticket for his
little daughter's benefit. The millionaire
dropped the paper and nervously waved
her away. The young woman who car-
ried the same bag from which she drew a
pistol in Judge Slack's court room one
eventful morning last year was not to be
denied however and expressed her disgust
that she should be compelled to sell tickets
for the support of the child. She was
finally induced to leave but assured Bald-
win that she would call again in the near
future.

over to Tubervilel the jail offices and
other property in his hands and in case
the order was not complied with to force
Buckler to comply. Buckler's attor
neys advocated that the court should

Buckler would not receive or turn over

Philadelphia May 31.-Kld McCoy
made bis appearance tonight in the arena
of the Quaker City Athletic club in a
bout with Jack Benner middleweight
champion of Pennsylvania and made
the latter look like a novice in the art.
In the first and second rounds he allowed
the Pennsylvania man to do all the work
and made hut little attempt to lead. In
the third however McCoy tapped his
nose and wind at will. The fourth fifth
nnd sixth rounds were all McCoy's the
Pennsylvania man resorting to hugging
to save himself from a knockout. Just
as the gong sounded at the close of the
sixth Bonner swung wildly on the Kid's
jaw and knocked him down. Bonner is
not in McCoy's class. As the. round
closed McCoy slipped and fell.
