Lees Report to Sherman.
A New York newspaper published the
Sull text Of Consul General Lees report ON
the Ruix case to Secretary Sherman June 8.
It ID dated Havana, May 81, and says In
part:
I deduced from my knowledge Of the facts the
10llowing conclusions:
Dr.. Rnix was arrested on false charge He
was placed under an improper jurisdiction and
died before the proper tribunal considered his
ease. thereby giving him no opportunity to prove
nh Innocence. He Was kept "incommunlcado"
IN cell for SIS hours, In violation of his treaty
rights, which limit such confinement TO seventy
two hours. He died from congestion Of the
brain produced by blow on the top Of the head.
There are two theories connected with the blow
a the head. Ono that In state OF mental ex-
o1tement he ran across the CELL as described by
one1l the jailOss. and butted his head on the
DOOR N frantic effort to get out. Another.
4Ant ~ was struck over the head with one OF
ehe clubs carried by the tailors-by the immedi-
no wabchman-wiro had probably ordered him

children. and upon his not doing SO struck
him with more force than he intended. or It 10
Doeeible the blow was delivered to make him
0onfees or givo evidence against Others It u
posslblo ho won't mad. and many causes COM
blned 70 produce such result. But whether.
Whcn beseft Of reason. he indicted the blows
which produced brain congestion. or whether he
died q the hands Of others. the truth will prob.
ably only be known when the hearts Of all men

INDIANS OBJECT TO THE WORK
Attempt to Eradicate Chambers
ArOuses Their Ire.

State Veterinarian Elliott is In the Chey-
eyne River country making an attempt to
stamp out CHAMBERS, which is reported to
be prevalent in that section. He killed
several horses in that section about year
ago, and the Indians were very much OPP
posed to his work, as they consider it their
own business whether they keep diseased
horses or not. Last year it was hard for
the veterinarian to secure and keep help
for his work on account of the fear of what
the Indians might do to get even with
those assisting him, but this year he is as
sisted by q strong detail of the Indian
police, and will make determined effort
to stamp out the disease. But even now,
many of the Indians will run off their
horses which are supposed to he affected
and it will be hard to find them.
