THE RUIZ INVESTIGATION.

Consul-General Lees report on
the RUIZ Investigation makes out
a rather strong Case against Spain.
1t may be summarized as fol-
lows:
1. Ruiz was arrested and im-
prisoned on a false charge.
2. He was placed under an inn
proper jurisdiction and died be-
fore the proper tribunal consid-
cred his case, thereby giving him
no opportunity to prove his ins
nocence,
Q. He was kept incommunicado
in a solitary cell for 315 hours, in
violation of his treaty rights,
which limit such confinement to
se~venty-two hours.
4. He died from congestion of
the brain brought on by a blow
on the head.
s. Spain is equally guilty
whether his death was the result
of a blow inflicted by the Span
iards on guard or whether from
his sufferings he committed sui
eide.
On this latter point the Ian
guage of the report is as follows:
"But whether when bereft of
reason he inflicted the blows which
produced brain congestion or
whether he died at the hands of
others, the truth will probably
only be known when the hearts of
! all are revealed-the fact remains,
his unjust confinement killed him,
and had he been released from
incommunicaao by the hand
of man at the end of seventy-two
hours the hand of death might
not have released him at the end
of 315 hours, and tosday the
widow would have had the sup
lport of her husband and the
moans of his fatherless children
would never have been heard in
the land.n

Little Pain,

The first touch of Rheumatism is
fair warning of much torture to follow.
The little pains which dart through the
body are not SO severe at first, possibly a
mere pang, and cause little inconven-
fence, but if the warning is unheeded,
they will multiply rapidly and increase
in severity until they become almost
unbearab1e.
Rheumatism as rule is much severer
in winter, though many are SO afflicted
with it that they are crippled all the
year round. Those who felt its first
touch last year, may be sure that with
the first season of cold or disagreeable
weather, the mild pain of last year will
return as severe one, and become more
and more intense until the disease has
them completely in its grasp.
Being a disease of the blood of the
most obstinate type, Rheumatism can
be cured only by real blood remedy.
No lniments or ointments caa possibly
reach the disease. Swift's Specific
Is. S. S. is the only cure for Rheuma-
tis1n, because it is the only blood remedy
that goes down to the very bottom of all
obstinate blood troubles, and cures cases
which other remedies cannot reach.
