Pointed Instructions Given to Min
lister WO0dfOrd.
MUST PRESS THE RUIZ CLAIM
Other Important Matters Between
the U. s. and Spain to be
Brought Up.
SPAIN WOULD COMPROMISE

WASHINGTON, July i9.-With the
hope of forcing prompt action in the
Ruiz case by the Spanish government
the state department has made public
a statement concerning the instructions
given to Minister Woodforu with re-
gard to this claim. The statement is in
great part practically the text of the in.
structions to Minister Woodford.
The instructions are short, and are
based upon the conclusions reached by
Mr.. Penfield in the brief In the Ruiz
matter, which he recently submitted to
the president. It is not proposed by the
department TO lay this brief before the
Spanish government, because of the
fear entertained that the Madrid author
tiles would seize upon it as an excuse
for arguing the matter. Therefore it
was determined to make the instruc
tons to Minister Woodford brief but to
the purpose of the United States so clear
that there could be no chance for Spain
to dodge the issue. This is the state
ment which the department gave out
"This government has directed Min
lister Woodford to formally present and
press the Ruiz claim for $500
1.-The government, animated solely by
the love Of truth and right, and the
spirit of justice, after mature considera-
ton Of the substantially uncontroverted
facts in the case, has reached the con-
olusion that under the treaty of 1895
and the protocol of 1877 between the
two governments, and the law of 1921.
made a part of the protocol, all the pro-
ceedings against Ruiz after his arrest
and notice given to Cuban authorities
of his American citizenship, were lille
gal. wrongful and arbitrary were in
violation of his treaty rights, and re-
suited in his death, and warrant de-
mand of payment of an indemnity
therefor.
while the circumstances would jus
tify the demand of a much larger sum,
yet in proof of the spirit of moderation
and absolute justice with which the
United States is animated the govern
ment of Spain is requested to pay an
indemnity of the sum named"
II is the general expectation that the
Spanish authorities will now use every
effort to compromise o Ruiz case. 1t
Is understood that an offer of a small
sum was made TO Mrs. Ruiz, but, upon
advice of her counsel, she refused to ac-
cept it. The administration, however,
is DESTROYS of getting the Ruiz case out
of the way as quickly as possible, so as
not to embarrass Mr. Woodford in the
other matters which he has been in
structed to bring to the attention of the
Spanish government.
The cabinet member says that the
president has no intention of recoRniz-
ing the belligerenoy Of the insurgents.
No action of this character will be taken
until the success or failure Of Mr..
Woodford's mission is known.

made for his presentation TO the queen

cause Of the hard times In this country Is

their money among foreigners instead OF

more than can understand. Men and

quainted with the condition Of the min
ers have any idea Of the extent of this
suspension and its paralyzing effects
upon the labor and business Of tho coun-
try. II has not yet reached its full pro-
portions. The coming week will add
20, 900 men TO the idle column. The
week following will bring greater access

WEST VIRGINIA MINERS WILL STRIKE.
Men ut the Monongah Mine Decide 20
Quit. and Others viii Follow.
FAIRMoNT, w. Va, July 10. - Over
800 men attended the coal miners
meeting yesterday in the woods at
Willow Tree schoolhouse, near Monon-
gah, and 317 Of them raised their hands
when j. d. Mahon, the speaker took a
vote to ascertain how many of them
were willing to come out. The miners
were chilly at first, but got warmed up
and showed much enthusiasm, and the
speaker was frequently cheered. II
was a noticeable fact that only Monon-
gah miners were in attendance, none
from the neighboring collieries putting
in their appearance.
Notwithstanding the rain, which
commenced falling soon after the meet
ing began, the miners listened for over
an hour to the address. Ii was the
largest meeting ever held in this dis
trict by the miners, and many of the
operators who have been confident that
the men would stay in, say now that
they are prepared for anything. Not
only the miners, but their wives and
children turned out at the meeting.
Conservative men here think it is only
a matter of time until the men come
out.
The company officials say If the men
strike, the pits will be filled with
Italians and negroes. and If this action
is taken the men say trouble may be ex-
pected. 1t is said an impromptu arsenal
has been arranged in the company's
Office, and the worst is expected.
