American CiiizcnsiiD In Cuba.

SDain does not deny that DR.. Ruiz was
an American citizen. Her contention IS
that ne was implicated in insurgent
movement against her authority, and some
of her champions make the case the text
for a honsily on the subject of acquiring g
American citizenship for personal ends ard
protection in Cuba
Let us look into this matter for a mo-
niert. General Lee is very confident that
irr. Ruiz was innocent of the overt act
charged against him. there only remains
the matter of this Cubar-born man ratur
aIized as an American citizen. but after
wards returning TO Cuba and residing
there. This course was entirely within his
rights. and what does it teach?
Why did Dr. Ruiz acquire his American
citizenship? Certainly rot to become a
conspirajor against SPAIN for being man
Of education and intelligence he well uE-
dsrstood that such citizenship would con-
fer TO protection for anything like that.
But he knew the condition of affairs at
home. ard that as a Cuban he had no
rights that the Spanish authorities were
i.pand to respect or would respect. He and
others like him were practically men with
out a country. They saw the Spanish flag
waving OYER them. but it represented to
tne-n only oppression. and exclusion from
all political matters Of local concern. So
he acquired citizenship, which. in times
OF domestic political broi!-times which the
oppression made all too frequent-would
insure. according 10 treaty promise. a pro-
lection denied to Cuban subjects of Spain.
That. in itself. was the sevcrest possible
arraignment of Spain. Do subjects of Great
Britain in Canada or in the West Indies.
subjects of Denmark in the West Indies
feel il necessary for their safety at home
to come here and swear allegiance to the
United States? OF course not Ard why
not? Simply because Great Britain in the
one case and Denmark in the other, at-
ford the proper protection to their sub
jects at home. They give TO their colonies
good government, and their subjects rely
upon the home flag. But Spain has always
ground her colonies down. and as Cuba IS
the last OF her colonial possessions of any
size and value. she has visited upon that
island the malevolent spirit of disappoint-
ment and political decay.
DIR. Ruiz thought he was making himself
secure at home in honorable and peaceful
pursuits by becoming an American citizen?
Was he mistaken? He was far as his
personal safety was concerned. but shall
rot Spain answer to this country and to
his family for the bloody outrage that was
committed in his assassination?

Many intelligent players whose obser-

playing for his suit. and the persistence
of his play indicates that the chances are
greatly in his favor, though he may be
weak in trumps. If his partner will lead
him his high trumps to make his of trick
taking value so that he will be in the lead
on the third or last round of trumps with
