THE AMERICAN WAS A VICTIM or
CRUEL SPANISH PRISON.


New York, Feb. ga dispatch to The
World from Havana. via Key West.
says: DIR. Ricardo Ruiz. a naturalized
American citizen, arrested on suspicion
by the Spanish a week ago. was found
dead in his cell in the Guanabacoa jail
last Thursday. The body bore marks of
violence. The jailer. Fondeviela, said
that he died by suicide.
Consul General Lee sought the privi.
lege OF viewing the body. and asked for
q full statement of the circumstances
OF his death. The Spanish at first
ignored both requests.
General Lee telegraphed to Washing.
ton. No reply was received.
On Friday General Lee imperatively
demanded that the body of Dr. Ruiz be
turned over to him, and that an autopsy
be made by two physicians. one of whom
should be designated by General Lee.
The Marquis OF Ahumada, acting cap
tain general in place of General Weyler.
who Is In the field, issued the necessary
order, but, so long was the delay, that,
although Guanabaooa is less than three
miles from Havana, General Lee was not
admitted to the prison there until Fri.
da afternoon, so hours after DR.. Ruiz's
death. and barely In time to stop the bur-
ial of the American physician in plain
pine coffin by squad of negro Spanish
servants.
When the coffin was opened It was
found that DR.. Ruiz's face had been SO
battered with blows and so cut with
wounds as to be almost unrecognizabIe.
The other prisoners said that piercing
cries We're heard from his cell on the
night OF his death. General Lee could
reach no other conclusion than that DR..
Ruiz had been murdered. He immedi-
ately ordered an autopsy to be made,
tho result Of which will not be known
Until late today.
He cabled the results of his investiga-
tions to the state department, but again
no response came. In the meantime
Scott, another American, has been kept
III days In solitary confinement at Regla.
just across the bay from Havana Cen
eral Lee has been refused permission
even to see him. This is a plain viola
tion OF treaty rights. 1t is feared that
he, too has been slain.
DR.. Ruiz was a naturalized American
citizen. He studied and practiced den.
tistry In Philadelphia for some time and
returned to Cuba about the beginning
OF the present insuwection. The charge
upon which he was arrested was con-
spiracy. He is highly spoken of here.

Books and Newspapers.

Through the Boston public library MT. w. c. Todd, of Atkinson, Mass, has doubtless become ths chief private con- sumner of newspapers in the country. Three years ago he gave the Boston library a sum of money that the city of Boston guarantees will psrpetually yield an income of $2000. The sole condition of the gift is that the entire sum without deduction of any kind shall be expended for newspapers The library is to fur nish the room, the service and all in cidental expenses. so that the income of the fund to it's last cent shall buy news papers.
