CONCLUSION OF THE BRAIN.
TZAr CAUSED TIE DEATH OF
DOCTOR RUIZ.
He Was, However, Confined For More
Than Thirteen Days, Regardless
of Treaty Rights.

Havana. May 29.-Via Key West
OF the two reports understood to have
been sent from Havana today by the
commission investigating the death of
Dr. Ruiz. the one by .Mr. Calhoun, who
represents the United States. and the
other by DR.. Jose Congosto, the Span
ish consul at PHILADELPHIA for the
Spanish government, the former will,
it is said, agree with the statement OF
Consul General Lee that DR.. Ruiz died
from conclusion of the brain, the re-
suit of violence after solitary confne-
ment of more than Is days regardless
of his treaty rights.
Consul General Lee declined at yes
terday session OF the commission to
question the Witnesses, who were in
terrogated only by the Spanish repre-
sentativeS. Consul General Lee Will
shortly make report on the Ruiz case
and Mr.. Calhoun viii make a further
report on other matters. such as the
money question, the state of the insur-
rection. the condition OF American in
terests and the general suffering due
to Captain General Weyler's style of
campaign. Consul General Lees posi-
ton is the same as it was in February
las. He holds that Spain is respon-
sible. since Ruiz died, because he was
deprived of his treaty rights. The ex-
act facts as to how DR.. Ruiz received
the blow which killed him. DR.. Lee
and Mr.. Calhoun could not learn. be-
cause half of the witnesses examined
by the commission were prisoners. and
it was believed, were afraid to testify
fully. The remaining witnesses were
the jailers, who would net testify so
as TO incriminate themselves.
Lee goes on daily Several hundred
