Tells of the Many Horrors He Has Seen—He Believes That Cuba Will Yet Win—Memo- randa of the Commissioner and Lee's Report Are Formally Submitted. Washington, D. C, June 9.— Commissioner Calhoun and his sec- retary, George W. Fishback, went to the White House at 4 o'clock yester day afterroon. Calhoun and Fish- back, on the White House steps met Judge Day and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt. President MeKinley had been ex- pecting these visitora for more than an hour and ke at once cleared the Cabinet room and received them in the presence of Secretary Porter. Calhoua carried a square bundle, which he turned over to Judge Day. It contained the papers of the Ruiz case and his personal memoranda. The report of Consul General Les was carried by Fishback. Commissioner Calhoun told the President of his trip by ferry and train from Havana to Matanzas in company with Consul Brice. He ex- plained that the train was a fortress on wheels. PENNED IN TO STARVE. He pictured an extensive settie ment of stsrving and squalid men: women and children, the families of the ineurgents, penned in by a high | barbed-wire fence, along the outside of which ran a deep diteb;of soldiers | patrolling alomg the ditch ready to shoot any who might attempt to break out of the wretched prison for the purpose of appeasing their terri- ble hunger. He related how smallpox and fevers had ravaged the paciticos. He told of the fortified stations session was, after the adoption of aud barricaded churches; the planta- the resofutions, given up to informal tions that were under cultivation discussion.

Commissioner Calhoun portrayed the sentiment of the well-to do peo- ple in Havana. Soma of the Spanish residents appealed for intervention, but Calhoun had simply advised them to wait and keep cool. SPAIN BOUND 70 BE BEATEN. He estimated to the President the actual strength of the Spanish and | insurgent forces, and gave his opin- ion, which is directly contrary to that which comes officially from Spain, that there seems to be little chance of subduing the revolution- ists He permitted the President to draw his owa conclusions as to why Gen. Weyler and Col. Fondesviela had so carefully avoided Havana while he was there. The President invited Calhoun to join him in his trip to Nashville. Calhoun declined the invitation, say- ing that he wanted afew days in Washingten for rest. Thereupon the President made another engagement before his departure.

Washington, D.C, June 6.—Con- gressman Joseph W. Bailey, of Tex- as, the house leader of the democracy has come out flatly for the re-nomi- nation of William Jennings Bryan in 1900. “It seems to be the almost unani- mous opinion of the democrats with whom I have been brought in con- tact, personally and otherwise,” ssid Mr. Bailey, “that the democratic party ehould commit itself unreserv edly to the readoption of the Chicago platform of 1896. The a!most udi- vereal desire appesrs to be to add nothing to and subtract nothing from that platform, but to accept it without qualification or reservation as the principles of the democratic party for 1900.

I was at Canton to-day and walked about the very epot where hundreds of thousands of werkingmen heard Mr. MeKinley proclaim from the wooden stage erected in front of his house that the defeat of Bryan would reopen the closed factories, raise wages, give everybody work, restore the days of plenty and se- eurity to the farmers and give the merchants a chance to live. I talked with many representative citizens, jand they all told the same story— 'hard times, suffering, bankruptcy. “There rever has been anything | like this in Ohio before,” said Mayor | Rice, of Canton. ‘There are bun- | dreds of families in Canton to day | who are suffering for want of feod land clothing.

Con=-' a gold and high tariff organ, now says: It looks as though, in spite of the efforts of one great political party, wages in the country are slowly but gradually getting down to the European basis.

This is confirmatory of the decla- ration of Senatcr Elkins, a leader in the “one great political party” to which the Builetin refers, that wages must come down.
