"A recent number of the Albion News

are a cent a pound more on butter
than Elgin prices,-the difference in

NEW YORK. June S.-The Journal
publishes the full text of Consul Gen.
eral Lees report ON the Ruiz case to
Secretary Sherman. 1t is dated Ha.
vana, May 81, and says in part: II de.
duce from my knowledge of the facts
the following conclusions:
First, Dr.. Ruiz was arrested on .
false charge.
Second. he was plared under an i'm.
proper jurisdiction, and died before the
proper tribunal considered his case,
thereby giving him no Opportunity to
prove his innocence.
Third, he was kent 'iucommunicadO'
In q solitary cell for ~, hours. in viola.
ton of his treaty rights. which limit
such confinement to az hours.
Fourth, he died from congestion Of
the brain. produced from q blow ON the
top Of the head.
Fifth. there are two theories con.
nected with the wound On the head.
One, that in q state of mental excite.
ment he ran across the cell as described
by one of the jailers and butted his head
on the door in q frantic effort to get
out. Another, that he wa struck cver

cease his cries for relief and for his chill.
dren. and upon his not doing 50. struck
him with more force than he intended.
or it is possible the blow was delivered
to make him confess or give evidence
against others.
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 prob
ably only be known when the hearts Of
all are revealed-the fact remains. his
unjust confinement killed him, and had
he been released from incommunicadO
by the hand of man at the end of e
hours the hand of death might not have
released him at the end of 3l5 hours,
and today the widow would have had
the support of her husband and the
means of his fatherless children would
never have been heard in the land.
Il therefore conclude, saying as l
have done in all previous reports about
this case, that whether DR.. Ruiz killed
