in the rumor that owing to complica-
ton over the death of DR.. Richard
Ruiz IN the Spanish prison at Guiana

prisoned for alleged completely IN

asked for warships. There is some
foundation fer the rumor but whether
the trouble is great enough to lead to a

it is not. This DR.. Ruiz studied and
pracuced dentistry in Philadelphia for
many years and was arrested some ten
days ago and charged with having
helped Arrangements band to derail a
train several weeks ago, when two
Spanish officers were captured. 1t Is
pretty generally understood that Ruiz
was in Cuba on purely private business

ed fo IfVw ~ commemorative
issue OF Japan, says London Sketch.
All the advance notices" of the new
stamps have spoken of them as wal
stamps" but this they do not purport
TO be. They are avowedly issued IN
commemoration of two princely Japs
who died heroic deaths in the fght WIN
China. To this extent they are war
stamps and it is not improbable tnat
the Japanese, under the CLOAK OF
mourning, are indulging in a httle
jubilation by postage stamps, in which
case the new issue has perhaps been
properly described. The issue consists
of only two Values sen and SEM
but of each value there are two types,
in order, we suppose. that the nations
grief shall be bestowed upon the late
Prince Arisugawa and the late Prince
Kitashirikawa with scrupulous inn
partiality. AS this is a special and,
strictly speaking, unnecessary isSue OF
stamps, which will be on sale at ell
Japanese postofices side by side with
the ordinary issue, it is safe TO say that
there will be some tall kicking on the
part of philatelists. If. however. 1t is
Japan's object to make money by the
issue, it must be allowed that Japan is
not grasping. The total face value OF
the set is but I'd in English money.
The stamps, of artistic design and
beautifully engraved form vivid con-
trast to Japan's previous efforts in
postage-stamp production and afford
ample testimony to the rapid "occident
alizing' of the Jap. 1t is stated. by the
way, that the issue will aggregate a.
100000 stamps, which number should
be more than sufficient to go around.
