questions involved in the Cuban matter.
the ad dministra ion is not pressing the
Ruiz or any other claim for indemnity

only representation made by this Govern

that submitted by Hannis Taylor just he
fore his retirement in Septe m ber from the
Office of Minister 10 Spain, when he de-
manded that $75. 900 be paid to the wido
of DR.. Ruiz. The only reply made by
Spain has been an acknowledgm OF the
recent of the demand.
An official told me ;be Ruiz CAIN was
made the subject of special instructions to
Minister Woodforj, but ne had been in
structed to give the matter of ending the
war in Cuba precedence over all other
