The Cuban situation was discussed In a general way, but the most Important subject presented was the Spanish mission. The availabil ity of three men, for this important post at Madrid was carfully canvassed but no decision was readied. One of the cabinet otllccrs paid, after the meeting, that the selection was still open and will now go over until the president's return from his Nashville trip. NOT VERIFIED. Assistant Secretary Day said Hint the report of Consul-General Lee, urjon the result of the investigation made in Havana in the Ruiz case, had not yet been received at the state depart ment, consequently it was impossible to learn whether the publication", purporting to be copies of the report, were accurate. The widow of Ruiz has filed with the department a claim for $150,000 for the death of her husband. It is surmised that the next step in the case will bo the presentation of a claim against .the Spanish govern ment, In behalf of tho family of the victim of this illegal imprisonment. REPUBLICAN CAUCUS. Tho Republican caucus was well attended. Great interest was mani fested in the caucus because It was known that an effort was to be made to secure a new sugar schedule which all the Republican senators could support. Senator Aldrlch, after the caucus adjourned, said it was very successful, and he felt tho Republicans were going to stand together on all shed ules of the bill, and that an agree ment would bo reached where tho differences of .opinion existed. Tho important feature of the meeting was the determination reached to vote together as a party. Thurston objected to calling It a conference, as that was not binding. He put a motion to tho effect that the caucus should be binding upon all Republican senators, and It was car ried by a large majority. The caucus Instructed the finance committee to report a new sugar sched ule to be all specific, and on all sugar which has gone through tho process of refining 1 05-100 of a cent per pound duty instead of 1 875-1000 of 1 cent per pound as proylded by tho house. Coarse, raw sugars, from the Philip pine Islands'and Java are to be ad mitted at one-tenth of a centless than other raw. The abrogation of tho Hawaiian treaty was discussed, but no conclu sion was readied when the caucus ad journed. The text of tho new sugar schedule is as follews: i'On sugars not above 10 Dutch standard in color, tank bottoms, syrups of cane juce, melada, concen ccntrated melada and concrete and concentrated molasses, tested by the polaribcope not above 85 degrees, 1 cent per pound, and lor every addi tional degree shown by polarlscopic test, 3-100 of a cent per pound addi tional and fractions of a degree in proportion, and in sugar above 10 Dutch standard in color and on sugars which have gone through the processor refining, 105,100 of acnet. Until July ist every Schillings Best yellow tea ticket entitles you to two guesses at the missing word. July ist to August 31st one guess to a yellow ticket. Rules of contest are published in our large idvertfaraient about tbejfiijf VAJ34-iqiddfe ol I CACII UIUIUU. A "Molasses testing over 40 degrees, and not above 50 degrees, 3 cents per gallon testing 50 degrees and above, 0 cents per gallon; sugar drawings and sugar sweepings shall bo subject to a duty as molasses or sugar as tho case may bo, according to polarlscopic test. Sugar, tank bottoms, syrups, cane julco or beet juice, melada, concen tratcd melada and concrete and con centrated molasses, tho product of any country which pays directly or indirectly a bounty on on export thereof, shall pay in addition to the foregoing rates a duty equal to such bounty, or as much thereof as may be In excess of any tax collected by such country upon such exported article as beet or cane from which It was pro duced." Mr. Aldrlch, who Is generally cred ited with the authorship of the fi nance committee provisions, had been expected to stand out siiflly for the amendments, but he did not do so. Ho said that his intrest In the revis ion as a whole was superior to his In terest in anv particular schedule t.hninr,i tlm committee r.itns wnm UqUllilUlU 111 II1B 11I1U Ul XXULIUUIICUU i l...l.l I- tl... II.,,. ,., !,..,. .1.11 policy, but ho was willing to subordi nate his Judgment -to the majority. The announcement was received with demonstrations of approval. Speeches were made by almost all the senators present. Hoar made a vigorous plea for unity of action, but said the beet sugar schedule should be definitely agreed upon at this time and put In such a shape as to determinate the unfriendly criticism that had been aroused. Senator Fry asked ' the caucus to consider the necessity of protecting the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty, and made a speech in that behalf. This occured early in the proceedings and tho Hawaiian question was apparently lost sight of In tho , subsequent pro ceedings over the main features of tho sugar schedule The senators were generally or the opinion that, with Hawaiian question undisposed of, the sugar question was not finally settled, but there was no ag reement for a future caucus. AGRICULTURAL SCHEDULE. When the agricultural schedule was taken up, Senator Jones, of Arkansas, and Vest made strong efforts to have the duty on cattle, barely and wheat and other products reduced, on the ground that high duties on them was unnecessary, and merely Intended to hoodwink the farmers, but they failed each time, and the committee recom mendatians were adopted. McEn- nery liawllns anu Tinman, demo crats, voted against their party on most of those motions. Bacon offered an amendment plac ing a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem on raw cotton and it was taken up and discussed, Chilton and McLaurin op posing tho amendment. Vest said ho would not have voted for tho Chicago platform If It had meant what Bacon claimed for it. Jones of Arkansas opposed the amendment. BRYAN AT LEBANON.

Brown, C-5-lw. County Treasurer. 1 The Ruiz Claim Is Now Filed. The Case Is a Good One Spain Should Pay It. Washington, June 0. Assistant Secretary Day has sald-that the report of Consul-General Lee upon tho result of the investigation made in Havana in the Ruiz case had not yet been re ceived at tho btate department. Consequently It was not possible to learn whether the publications pur port! n ? to be copies of the report were accurate. Assuming, however, that the consul-general's conclusions nre correctly set forth In brlef,that Ruiz died while in jail, in violation of hia treaty rights tho question of the largest importance is what shall bo the next step. The widow of Ruiz lias filed with ' tllc department a claim for $150,000 for the death of her husband. Tho Spanish contention has been that ho was not killed, and that, ho was not treated harshly . General Leo's In quiry Is understood to have failed to bring out the truth on these points, but his statement on another point, namely, thatof his conllnomcnt in vio lation of treaty rights, appears to make the first two points nonessential and to leave the case resting on tho board claim of confining Dr. Ruiz for more than 72 hours without permitting him to communicate with ills friends or trying him, the Spanish officials In Cuba have assumed full responsibil ity for tho results of that confine ment. The fact being established that Dr. Ruiz kept up his citizenship by regis tering himself at American consulates In Cuba from time to time,as required by regulations, is taken as an offset against the claim that by continuous' residence in Cuba for nearly 20 years lie had forfeited his rights as an American citizen. It is surmised that the next step in the case will bo tho presentation of a claim against the Spanish govern ment in behalf ofthefumlly of tho victim of this illegal imprisonment. THE INSURGENT FORCE. Havana, Juno 0. via Key West. After months passed in compiling data, which is confirmed by compe tent, well Informed, impartial par ties, tho correspondent of tho Asso ciated Press is abloto announce in the country comprised between Capo San Antonia, Plnardel Rio and the Ju-caro-Moron military lino of tho pro vince of Puerto Prlnclpo, there are 8000 Insurgents well-armed with rides and subdivided into small bands. The latter life, during tho best part of the year, in tho woods and moun tains. Besides these bands, there are many thousands of Cuba natives In the Insurgent camps who are either unarmed or only armed with mache tes. In the "concentrated" towns there are only small numbers of men, the greater part of tho inhabitants being women and children. A certain amount of dissatisfaction is felt among certain batalllons of the regular troops on uccountof tho paper money, but no riots have occured, and it is believed Captain-General Wey lcr will shortly bottle tho monetary question. In the meantime, tho financial question is becoming more and more depressing, A RATTLE. Key WissT.Fla., Juno 0. Tho forces of tho Rclna battalion had a fierce combat at Sagua Colorada, Plnar del Rio province, lasting 13 hours. The insurgents obliged the Spaniards to keep at u distance. The Spaniards re treated, carrying with them many dead and wounded. The town ofColraa Is In the hands of the Cubans. At Alonzo Ilojus, Plnar del Rio, a Cuban hospital was attacked by Spanish soldier?, 20 wo men and many children being ma dieted, General Weyler, has forbidden the people to buy meat of persons not his agents, and he has sent soldiers to ga'.her cattle. EXCITEMENT IN SPAIN. New York, Juno 9. A special to tho Herald from Madrid says. The whole country is stupofkd by the extraordinary solution of thecrisls The liberal feeling is violent against Scnor Sagasta. The majority of tho liberals call him a traitor, accusing him of secretly refusing the queen re gent's request to accept office. Great excitement prevails. The peril of tho situation, so fa. from being abated by the conservatives continuing in olllcu la considered as only just beginning. CONDEMNED. New York, Juno 0. A special to the Journal and Advertiser, from Ha vana, says "A Spanish captain and two lieu tenants were tried by court martial In Las Cabanas fortress and sentenced to be shot for cowardice In having, after eleven days' siege, surrendered the government forts at. Casa Orro, In Eastern Cuba, to tho patrot forces of General Callxto Garcia. Fifty Bodies Stolen. Indianapolis, Juno 9.

Towne, of Mineesota, Master Ceremonies. of Chicago, June 0. Thirty-two states were repicscnted at the first meeting of the provisional committee of tho national silver republican party which met in executive session at the Lchind hotel. Besides the com mitteemen of tho various states rep resented, over 100 silver Republicans were present from nil parts of the country. In opening tho meeting Congress man Towne spoke In part as follews: 'I give you greeting upon the aus picious opening of the conference and congratulate you and the great causo wherein wo aro engaged that so nu merous and representative a body of men has gathered from a lurge major ity of states and territories to partici pate In the first general council of the Silver Republican party, of tho United States. Wo welcome tho in spiring presence of a delegation repre senting the bimetallic organization of tho women of tho country, whoso sympathy is enlisted as over in behalf of justice and humanity. "Wo desire above all things clso of immediate political concern the speedy re-establishment in tho United States of truo blmctailsm; tho samo" prlvllcco of free coinago at tho mint for both gold and silver atid absolute equality betweon them in all money power when coined with tho option of every tax-payer, whether government or individual is to chooso what coin shall bo tho basis of payment In every Instance. "We wish to do all In our power to advance this happy consummation, and wo realize that if this great causo is to succeed In tho elections of 1808 and 1000 It can do so only through the addition to tho allied armies of tho 0,000,000 that followed tho banner of the Joint standard In 1800, of at least somo hundreds of thousands of Re publicans of that contest. "Wo havo other plans, or may havo, and wo bellcvo In other things also; but the restoration of silver as a basis of primary money along with gold is the first and engrossing object of our activities, and shall remain so until the crescent of promise shall have rounded Into the full orb of success. In conclusion Towne said tho im mediate business in hand was the de termination of a time and placo for holding a national convention, tho membership of which. could mako an authorltatl vo declaration of principles and that discussion and adoption of a plan of general organization in states and territories would follow.
