THE CASE OF DIR. RUIZ.
Consul General Lee Holds Spain Respon-
sible for His Death.

SlUle IOr Ills Death.
New York, j une 9.-The Journal prints
long article purporting Co he the official
report of Consul General Lee to Secretary
Sherman, of the State Department., in
the Ruiz case. After reciting the facts in
the case, MS far AS they have come to his
knowledge, and which are substantially
the saE:e as published in the press of the
country, nc makes the following heduc-
lions:
"First-Dr. Ruiz was arrested on a
false charge.
'Second-He was placed under an i'm.
proper jurisdiction and died before the
proper tribunal considered his case,
thereby giving him no opportunity to
prove his innocence.
El"Third-That he was kept in commu-
nlcado' i'll solitary cell for 315 hours in
violation Of his treaty rights, which limits
such confinement to 70 hours.
"Fourth--He died from congestion of
the brain, produced by a,blow on the top
Of the head.
"Fifth-There ..are two theories con-
nected with the wound on the head. One
that in n state Of .mental excitement he
ran across the cell, as described by one Of
the jailors, and butted his heal on the
door IN frantic effort to get out
Another. that he was struck over the
head with one of the clubs carried by the
jailers-by .-the immediate watchman-
who had probably ordered him TO cease
his cries for relief and for his children.
and upon his mot doing so struck him
with more force than he intended, or 1t is
possible the blow was delivered to make
nun confess to give evidence against
others.
'But whether when bereft O. reason he

congestion or whether he died Mt the
hands .oi others, the truth will probably
only he known when the hearts of all are
revealed The fact remains that his con-
nnement Killed him, and had he been re
leased from, incommunicado by the hand
OF man at the end of 70 hours the hand of
death might not have released him at the
end OF 80 hours, and to day the widow
would have had the support of her hus-
band and the means of her fatheriess
children would never have been heard.
II therefore conclude, saying, as have
done in all previous reports about this
case, that whether DR.. Ruiz killed him
self or was killed by someone else, will,
under the existing conditions, all ways re-
main unknown.

Commissioner Binger Hermann, of the
general land Office, is proceeding very
slowly in making any important changes
in the bureau of which he has charge
Since coming into Office he has had much
difficult work in disposing of cases that
came to hi N from the former administra
ton, and in doing this, keeping up with
current work and familiarizing himself
with the details of the Office he has had
little time to inaugurate any changes in
the general policy of his bureau. In the
closing days Of every administration there
are knottY questions for the commits
sioner to pass upon, and it frequently
happens that the retiring commissioner
hequeaths d number of such matters to
the new administration. This has hap

President Mckinley does not seem at
all stuck up with the importance and
dignity CT his office. On Monday he made
a personal call on Mr.. Evans, commits.
sione,r of pensions, and asked him to nc.
company his party on their visit to the
Tennessee centennial. which the commits
sioner of course, gladly consented to do.
This was II decidedly democratic proceed
ure on the part of the President as con-
trasted with the course pursued by the
chief executive of the nation for the past
twenty years. it being the custom for the
President to call on no one, but merely to
express wish foreesuch officials as he de-
sires to see to call on him ut the White
House. Grover Cleveland would never
have been guilty of such lapse of official
exclusiveness.

AN AGGRESSIVE POLICY.

| The report from New York as to Presi-
dent McKinley's Cuban policy would be
very gratifying to all true Americans IL
there we've any assurance OF it's truth
This report is to the effect that the Pres
ident will declare the war in the Island
must stop, and will offer mediation on
the basis of Cuban independence and the
payment of a reasonable indemnity to
Spain for the loss of the Island Should
this offer be rejected by the Spanish gov
eminent, as it most certainly would, war
between the United States and Spain
would be certain to follow, resulting in
the complete independence of Cuba or it's
annexation to this country, unless the
great powers of Europe should side with
the Dons, in which case Uncle Sam would
have job Of immense proportions upon
his hands. If, however, England should
remain neutral the..dificulties of the sit
uation, so far as this country is con-
cerned. would be greatly lessened, AS it is
believed the United States In American
waters and on American soil would lie
able to cope successfully with all the rest
of Europe.
This late report of President McKin-
ley's strong American policy is not how
ever In line with what was said few
days ago would--bs the recommendation
OF Special Commissioner Calhoun in re-
gard co Cuba. The views of Mr.. Calhoun,
according to this statement. were to the
effect that The did not believe that the
time had arrived for acknowledging even
the belligerency of the Cuban revolutions
lists, to say nothing OF independence, and
how President Mckinley, in view of this
report, could determine to pursue a
strong and aggressive policy passes COM
prehension, especially when his conserva-
tive temperament and disposition are
taken in,o consideration. 1t is evident
that the people of the United States are
not only TIRED of the Cuban war as it is
now conducted. but are very anxious to
annex the Island and wonld do so with.
out hesitation if the matter were left To
their decision. There are, however, so
many difficulties in the way of such a
procedure that it is hard to say when this
much-to. be desired result can be accom-
plished
In the hands OF. Spain Cuba will always
remain undeveloped, prey to inferno
cine strife and the home OF .lawlessness
and murder. Under the rule of the Uni
ted States the splendid resources of the
Queen of the Antilles in agriculture,
minerals and timber would soon be
brought into use, while under the influence
of American industry and progressive
ness the Island would blossom as the rose.
Once proclaim it a part of the national
domain, and hundreds. of thousands Of
the flower of American manhood would
swarm into Cuba, and in few years it
would become an empire within Itself,
capable of making three great common
wealths, unsurpassed rs place for home
seekers by any country upon the globe.
If President Mckinley desires re. election
and wishes to earn for himself the graft.
tude and love of all his untrymen re-
CARELESS of party or section. the surest
way to accomplish this is to pursue such
policy as will lead to the early annexa-
tion of Cuba.

The ST. James Gazette says Japan since
she used up China SO easily in the late
war has been spelling for fight with a
white power. If she attempts any short
cuts upon Hawaii she will find the Uni
ted States ready and willing to give her
all the war she wants. Little Japan
would soon find the difference between
the fighting qualities of the Americans
and the Chinese and find it to her cost.

The intern .tional gold mining conven-
tion which it is proposed to hold at Den
yer, COL, on July 2, promises to be an
immense affaic. Every State in the West
will be represented by large delegations
and almost every State in the Fast and
South interested in any department of
mining has either selected delegates or
given notice in advance of representation.
Governor Jones, of Arkansas, however,
refuses to appoint delegates for that State
because he is opposed to anything that
seems inimical to the interests of bimet-
aliism. The governor seems to forget that
the more plentiful gold becomes as con-
trasted with silver the nearer is the APP
proach towards bimetallism.

THE SOUTH
The Times Democrat Dsplores
Camp Pelham'S Manifesto.

The New Orleans Times. Democrat
takes issue with the manifesto recently.
issued by Camp Pelham, United Conted-
crate Veterans of Anniston, Ala. Says
the manifesto Of Camp Pelham in part:
eve are opposed to invitations being
extended to those who wore the blue
when we wore the gray, not that we hate
Northern men. for we recognize the fact
that many splendid and heroic gentlemen
wore the blue, but we .hasc this protest
upon the truth that there are times in
the life Of a Confederate soldier when he
wants no one near but those who feels AS
he feels, and that time is the hour when
he opens the tomb where lie turied dead
hopes; when wrapped in the ashes of the
flag he followed and fought for are care
fully and tenderly laid away the saddest
and tenderest affections of patriotic
heart. and as he unveils the sacred treas,
ure, to assure himself no unfrieudly van
dial hand has violated the sanctity of the
grave, he wants at his side only those who
are as one with him in regretful love of
the Lost Case.
eff we properly understand the object
of our reunion, it is n mission with which
Union soldier can have no SORT of sym
pathy, and we must earnestly protest
against his introduction there, for it is
an action that smacks of sycophancy bred
of cupidity and sordid considerations.
We are too old to be.controllea by policy,
we are too stiff in our joints to bend the
pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift
may follow fawning. All that we need
will soon be given us by our own people
shroud and decent burial.
LET us be honest, and let us not bring
our organization into disrepute by in
dulging in a false sentimentality, which
can be titly characterized only by the epi-
tibet, ab:nominable gush."
Commenting, the Times-Demo says:
ut is an extreme pity that any camp of
eX-Confeterates should have committed
itself to the enumeration of such unregen-
crate sentiments. Life is too short for the
harboring of such ideas and feelings, and
the duty of forgiving and loving ones
enemies Is far higher duty and speaks
nobler manliness than the unworthy cher
ishing of spirit of ungracious and spite
full vindictiveness."

resents their feeling. Richmond has
many hallowed associations; thousands of
Confederate dead sleep within her
gates. her historic battlefields are in
sight, always interesting monuments to
those dead heroes, rs the actual place of
their deeds of valor and heroism, and
lastly, it was the Confederate capital
around which hangs, SO much historical
interest and so replete with incidents at
tending the last days of our cherished
cause. With every disposition to do ius.

feel their choice is for Richmond, and
hope the veterans in their approaching
reunion at Nashville may be so fortuna re-

GOVERNOR RUSSELL ON LYNCH
ING.

At Raleigh, Saturday, Governor Rus
sell. of North Carolina, was asked his
views on the subject of lynchings and re-
piled: "The way to end lynch law is to
remove the excuse for X. 1t Is no justi-
fcation to say, what is not denied, that,
in many cases. the victims deserve what
they get. Barbarian brutes who commit
nameless crimes must be killed quick.
But let it be done under the form of law.
Let there be none of the laws delay.
Give the executive the power to call II
court instnnter. Order Judge by tele-
graph to the courts of the crime. Try the
criminal: if proper for an appeal, convene
the appellate court on shorteot possible
notice. send down the Judgment and in
stantly perform its mandates. Scarcely
a case OF mob murder of a guilty culprit
has occurred wherein he would not have
leen convicted ny Judge and jury. In
most cases the lynchings have been attrib-
utable to spirit of lawlessness
MODS who attack jails," he added,
SHOULD be shot down. None of them
are innocent. Lawless mobs must be
made to know that this is a land of law"
