Senator Sherman Declares that War

Outrages ON Americans in Cuba DO Not
ease.
NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The journal
prints the following statements made
Sunday by Senator Sherman aj-Wash-
ington in the course of an interview in
regard to the death in Cuba of DR..
Richard RUIZ: rs.
IF the tacts are true as reported,
and American citizens are being MUIR
dered in Cuba in cold blood, the only
way to put an end to the atrocities is
to declare war on Spain
II know not what course Secretary
Olney may pursue, but this isno longer
question of belligerency but one Of
foul murder of an American citizen
held as "A suspect #'
I'VE have already recognized Cuba's
belligerency by an act of conrress
passed last session, but we have not
recognized independence.
"We have right to interfere if either
Spain or Cuba fails to carry on, evil.
lied warfare, though the death of Ruiz
is quite another matter.
Il suppose that Secretary Olney hay.
ing requested a full investigat IN, Con-
sui General Lee will again romptly
call upon the spanish authorities for
the facts in RUIZ ease and that ii
Ruiz body has been buried it will be
cXhumed and exam ined. Then if the
investigation shows that an American
has been murdered, Spain will be asked
to make reparation.
'lf she refuses to do so the United
States ought to force her by declaring
war We cannot stand idly by and
permit Spaniards to butcher Ameri.
cans as they please. We are bound to
protect our citizens, and think Ameri.
cans in Cuba will be protected even if
we have to resort to arms.
Congress has done it's duty and
there is nothing more to do save tc
recognize the independence of Cuba"
HAVANA, Feb. 23.-Secretarv of State
Olney has demanded full explanation
and prompt investigation OF the death
of Dr. Ricardo Ruiz. The status oi the
Scott case is unchanged. Gen. Lee has
asked that he be instructed to demand
the release of all American citizens
who are held in Cuba under circum.
stances of illegality similar to those
which characterized the Ruiz case.
These instructions will have to be
forthcoming or new consul general
sent to Havana.
