LEE NOT BELLIGERENT.
Report That Warships Have Been
Called for UnfOunded,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-It can be
stated on the best authority that so
far, at least, there is no reason for
apprehension that the case of Dr. Rich
ard Ruiz, who was found dead in his
cell in the Jail at Guanabacoa, Cuba,
will lead to an international compllca-
ton. The matter was brought to the
attention Of the state department i'll
the latter part of the past week
through complaint of some of the
friends Of the doctor in this country
The allegation was that the man had
been imprisoned beyond the period al
lowed by the treaty for an American
citizen to be kept in Jail without the
Judgment Of charges, and that he had
been murdered by his jailers.
Consul General Lee was Immediately
directed by cable to investigate the af-
lair, although it appeared from his dis
patches that he had already had his
attention directed to the case. The
official reports of the Spanish officers
are said to show that Ruiz committed
suicide While in jail, but this has not
yet been communicated to the depart
ment of state. Meanwhile, Consul Cen
eral Lee is investigating the matter,
and the state department is awaiting
his report.
In the absence of this, the depart
ment officials feel no apprehension o2
any complications, and all stories that
Warships have been called for by Gen
Lee, or that this government is max
ing ready for forcible measures in the
case are without foundation.
DIR. Ruiz was naturalized American
citizen. He studied and practiced dem
tistry in Philadelphia for some time
and returned to Cuba about the begin
ming of the present instruction. The
charge upon which he was arrested
was conspiracy in having participated
In the derailing of a train carrying
Spanish troops, as a result of which
two Spanish officers were captured by
the insurgents.

The premises of the New England cafe 10
Fourth street south, yesterday furnished the
fire department with as obstinate a fight as
has been met with for some time. It was
fculties all present to an aggravating degree.
That the blaze was confined to the limit when
first discovered, and the loss comparatively
nominal, was due to the strong detachment
of apparatus and the activity and logged per-
sistence of the department. The loss to the
contents, as computed by Fire Marshal Pierce,
will reach about $4,000. The insurance was
$4,000.

belief that they were interrupted in

The stolen property was taken from

be made. 1t is thought that
