GEN, LEES REPORT ON THE R.JIz
CASE.

The fact that both Consul General
Lee and Special Commissioner Calhoun
nave reported that Dr. Ruiz's death at
havana was the result Of Spanish bru-
thllty leaves nothing for this Govern
fnent to do but to take decisive action
and call Spain to an account fo. tho
murder.
NO PREPARATION which can be made
VIII restore the husband and father to
the grlef-stricken family, but Spain
should be compelled to pay for the vl,-
lainy of her agents unless the facts
related by General Lee are disproyen
and that no one believes possible Gene
raj Lee is careful and deliberate in his
statements, and there is no room to
ooupt The manner Of the unfortunate
dentists death
IN his letter to Secretary Sherman.
Genera! Lee says he has letter from
Mrs. Ruiz, written four days after the
Doctors death, saying: During the
thirteen days lie remained incommu-

dito-Good-by. my children Of my life, I

your mother. They will kill me. If I
am taken to Habana, tell everything.
Good-by, Rita Of my soul"
General Lees report as published in
the New York Journal Tuesday, con-
cludes as follows:
deduce from my knowledge Of
the facts the following conclusions:
~ Or. Ruiz was arrested on O.
false charge.
80 He was placed under an I'M
proper jurisdiction, and died before
the proper tribunal considered his
case. thereby giving him no oppor-
tunity to prove his innocence
3. that he was kept Incommuni-
cado, In solitary cell for 315 hours,
IN violation OF his treaty rights,
seventy-two hours.
n. He died from congestion OF the
brain. produced by q blow on the
top Of the head
3. There are two theories connect
ca With the wound on The head. One

s that in q state. of mental excitemeut
de ran across the cell, as described
by one OF the jailers, and buttcd
his head on the door In a frantic
effort to get out. Another, that he
was struck over the head with ono
OF the clubs carried by the jailcrs-
BY the immediate watchman-who
had probably ordered him to cease
his cries for relief and for his chill
dren. and upon his not doing SO,
struck him with more force than
ne Intended, or, 1t Is possible the
blow was delivered to make him
confess or give evidence against
others
1T is possible he went mad. and
many causes combined to produce
such result.
Ills knowledge OF his own inno-
cence-hiS confinement In 4 gloomy
cell. where he was not allowed to
communicate with family or friends
or to send or write. Alone, all
alone. the thought doubtless i'm
pressed Itself upon his mind that he
was liable, in the reign Of terror
then existing in and around GUIANA
bacoa. TO be summarily executed at
any moment. He loved his wife and
children, and In the darkness and
loneliness Of his cell lie was con-
stantly crying out for them. The
thought that they were but 4 few
rods away, and yet he might never
see them again. or hear the sound or
their voices or feel the touch of their
lips and hands. naddened him and
proved too much for the mind of the
distracted and unhappy man. and
thought It not improbable, as the
long hours passed by, 1t may have
given way and left him a mailman.
His wife says his derby hat was all
battered up and his clothes greatly
torn when returned to her.
But whether when Dcreft Of rea-
son he inflicted the blows which pro-
duced brain congestion, ur whether
he died at the hands Of others, the
truth Will probably only be known
when the hearts of all arc revealed
the fact remains, his unjust confinc-
ment killed him, and had he been re-
leased from incommunicadO 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
3l5 hours, and to-day the widow
would have had the support Of her
husband, and the means Of his faith
erless children would never have
been heard in the land.
Il. therefore, conclude, saying. as
have done in all previous reports
about this case, that whether DR..
Ruiz killed himself or was killed by
some one else, will. under the exist
ing conditions. always remain I'M
known"

WIIATROYAI.TY COSTS.

According to the Pittsburg Dispatch,
to the British government amounts in
round numbers to s., 000.0 900 annually. OF
this great sum the Queen receives near
~ s2.0O0,000. besides the revenues from
the duchy Of Lancaster which amount
to quarter Of q million. The lord lieu
tenant Of Ireland receives 500, 900 year
for his services and expenses, and the
Prince Of Wales 100000 year. The
same authority states that the president
Of France receives $4,000 year for
salary and expenses, an enormous sal
airy, when 1t Is remembered that the re-
public is sweating under a stupendous
national debt Of over $4,000, 900, 00O-thc
largest debt ever incurred by any ma
ton in the world. Italy can have ten
thousand men slaughtered in Abyssinia
and still pay her king $4,000, 900 year.
The civil list OF the German emperor is
about S4,o0O.000 year. besides large rev
enues from vast estates belonging to the
royal family. The Gear Of all the Rus
sias owns in fee simple 100000 square
miles of cultivated land, and enjoys an
income Of Sl2,000,000. The king of Spain,
little Alfonso MIL, If he Is Of q saving
disposition, will be one Of the richest
soVereigns in Europe when he comes
OF age. The State allows him 81 400, 900
year, with an additional 5000, for
family expenses.
In contrast to all of this the United
States, which is the most resourceful
country In the world, pays its president
seo'ooo year, and up to 1873 he only
received the sum Of $4,000. Royalty

ENSIGN STONES CASE.

The Naval Court Of Inquiry, ordered
for tho investigation OF the Stone-Conde
incident, In SO for as 1t referred to the
conduct Of the former as IN officer OF the
navy. has decided that 1T Is not ungen-
tlemenly conduct for an officer to make
love to a girl in opposition to her pa
rents:" and IL the men comprising the
court had found otherwise, every last
one Of them would have deserved
ducking.
The finding Of the court has estab-
lished one thing, If no more. and that is,
that young naval officers who haven't
any money can now engage the affec-
tions Of the daughters or millionaires
without fear Of being brought before
court Of inquiry. The precious set who
Joined IN the Condo hunt Of young En-
sign Stone. no doubt, will be Mortified
at this announcement. but 1t Is so oil
the same and will stand. Mr.. Swift Con-
de has no use for young naval officers
with no money, and when Ensign Stone
engaged the affections Of his daughter
the man OF dollars sought the cid Of the
Naval Department at Washington to
''put a header" on the young man. He
has emerged from the Investigation,
however, with flying coors and the pub
lie is glad OF it-that Is, the sensible
public is glad-the others don't count.

WHAT MIX. wANAMAKEH, SAYS.

There appears to be no end of criticism
by ex-Postmaster General John Wanna
maker, or the Harrison administration,
and 1t Is worthy Of note that
they all come from Repub-
lican quarters, thus demonstrating that
when one Of its own clan presumes to
ministratiOn, the whole set turns
upon him and If possible harrass
him to the death. Here are some Of the
things Mr.. Wanamaker said:
Much as I love quietness and
peace, 1t Is not possible for me to be
Indifferent or silent in the present
condition OF affairs. Neither can I
take or give opiates.
ITO keep work for the six thou
sand and more persons in my employ
and turn away from the several
hundred who apply daily and beg
for the privilege Of labor to keep
the wolf from the door. drives me
into q fever, and must speak out
Any citizen has that right.
II cannot sit on q fence with q
stiff wind blowing and whistle for
prosperity. the vanished bird of
10 come DHcK.
In these times campaign speeches
are only empty shells without kcr-
nels. However we'll meaning or who
ever 1t Is who thinks he does good by
them must be forgetting that n mil
lion Of workmen and their children
are hungry. The man who looks for
bread In such speeches will not have
much to eat.
The public heart cannot be fired
by eloquence in this way just now,
for the powder OF patriotism is wet,
with the tears Of the suffering I'M
employed. Give me hold Of some
body'S hand who Will do something,
not talk about it, month after
month"
There Is a world Of truth in this, and
1t Is the facts which he brings out that
hurts his Republican friends so badly.
The fact that MI Wanamaker helped to
raise, and did contribute largely for
the Harrison campaign fund, does not
in the least impair the truthfulness OF
the statements which he now makes OF
the present condition OF the country.
Whatever he may have been does moi
enter into the argument at all-the ques.
tlon is, whether what he now has to say
is correct or not? The public agrees that
he is right and there is no mistake abou,
