were captured. In defiance OF la"
and treaty stipulations the Spanish
authorities held Ruiz, confined in c
noisome cell without window
for 300 hours, and then murdered
him. Consul General Lee is investi

WASHINGTON, Feb. aoo.--Secretary
Olney has called the attention Of
Scnor dc Lone, the Spanish minister
to the Ruiz affair, and requested that
he communicate with the Spanish gov
eminent that treaty rights must be
shown to Consul General Lee in hls

Olney, with his suggestions, and what
he had learned. it. is reported thai
Secretary Olney told him that he was
right, and to go ahead. This he die

called by the Cubans. General Lee
and several others connected with the
consulate were present, and dozen
Spanish officers. An American ply
sician was in attendance, but he was
not permitted to do any of the work.
The post-mortem did not show OF
prove any murder, but it did not prove
that DR.. Ruiz committed suicide; in
fact. all the suggestions were against
it. But the Spanish officers hurried ii
through and thought that Lee would
be satisfied. 1t is stated that the con
versation between Lee and the Spanish
officers was not at all times up to the
"po:itc'' limit, us General Lee was
greatly vcxed over their indifference.
He told them what he thought of the
matter. and they parted not on the
best of terms. When he arrived a,
Havana it is said that Gen. Lee wired
Secretary Olney that there are many
Americans in Cuban prisons who can
not secure fair trial and that ths
United States should act promptly il
demanding their release. 1t is saio
that he politely informed the secretary
that unless Ills ideas could receive en-
dorsement he would resign.

Another Gold Brick Swindle.

Atlanta, Ga, May A special from
Macon, Ga, to The Constitution says a
swindler from the north reached Macon
a few days ago and soon after his arrival
met by appointment Phil Jackson, one of
Georgias wealthiest planters.
few days ago Jackson was summoned
to Macon by a letter advising him of a
good investment" and here he met the
stranger, who exhibited three gold bricks.
jackson swallowed the bait, and after
carefully examining the gold bricks paid
the stranger $500 in cold cash and a
check for s., 900 for the bargain. OF course,
the bricks were only brass, and now the
victim is endeavoring to keep the affair
secret, instead Of reporting it to the au-
thorities and making an effort to capture
the manipulation of the scheme.
The gold brick artist told the usual story
of an Indian finding the mine in secluded
spot in Nevada, and the samples were
only sold to get the money whereWith to
develop the mine.
