OLNEY RESPONDS.
a Portion of the Correspondence in
the Ruiz Case is Presented.

Washington. March 2-Secretary Olney
today responded TO the senate resolution
for the correspondence in the Ruiz case
by sending an abstract of the matter. de-
/ Ginning to send the full correspondence,
on the ground that lit would not seem to
be in the public interest
I he abstract furnished by the state de-
partmcnt shows that Ricardo Ruiz was a
native-born Cuban and came to this coun-
try during TIE progress of the Cuban
insurrecticn which terminated in 1878. He
received his final papers as a naturalized
citizen in January. 1880. in Philadelphia
Immediately after he returned to Cuba
entered the practice of dentistry, mar
ried and reared 4 family. and has resided
there permanently and continuously ever
sioce-
He was arrested on February 18th and
thrown into prison on the charge of
participation in the capture and robbery
of a railroad train. of which the depart
ment was promptly advised. On the
18th. the consulate reported to the de-
partment that Ruiz had been found dead
in his cell under circumstances which
justified and LED TO demand for i'm
mediate investigation. The consul-general
reported that Ruiz was kept 3l5 hours in
a small. closed and most filthy cell. three
by five feet. having rough stone floor
with no window end only a siX-inch
square opening in the door for the ad-
mission of food. which aperture was kept
shut except when used. that no one was
allowed to see him; that he died from
neglect ard violence. etc.
Secretary Olney then quotes the report
of the acting governor-general of Cuba
to show that Ruiz was kent in large.
roomy CELL lighted and ventilated and
not treated cruelty. and that his death
and wounds on his head resulted from
the prisoner butting his head against his
grated door.
Secretary Olne,1 saws that the con-
clusion of the official Aeoorts of the two.
governments being thus radically con-
ficting. another open and thorough in
vestigation seemed to this government in
dispensable. In this view the Spanish
government cpncurred.
Continuing, Mr.. Olney then says:
Until the results OF the full investi-
cation thus agreed upon by the two
governments shall have been reached
what further steps should be taken in
the matter by the United States govern
ment cannot, of course, be determined"

Washington, March 2.-Legislative
business went on in the senate today
smoothly, expeditiously and with very
little discussion.
The first bill that was passed was one
for the prevention of the introduction
and spread of contagious and infec-
tious diseases in the United States-the
preamble to it reciting the alarming
nature and spread of the bubonic
plague now prevalent in India and ad-
jacent countries"
The fertilization BILL apprcpriating
50, 7l5, 141. was passed without word OF
discussion except a short speech from
Mr.. Hawley (Rep. Comm crit'cising the
fact that the Notifications on whose eff
ficient arming some $50 600 have
been spent are left practically without
garrisonS, and that there are no men
trained as artillerists to manage the
splendid steel guns provided by the
liberality of congress.
The house amendments to the senate
International monetary conference bill
were concurred in without a division,
but after several short speeches from
silver senators, Mr.. Dubois, of Idaho,
declared his conviction that the only
way to reach an international agree
ment was for this nation to stand out,
as in 1776 and declare its intention to
regulate its own affairs. Speeches of a
similar tendency were made by SEN
ators Cannon of Utah; Teller of Colo
RADIO; Mantle of Montana. and Morgan
of Alabama; the latter stating that he
would probably be the only senator
who would vote against the bill

Dauntless VIII Not Clear Save IN
der Unusual Conditions.


Washington, March "A telegram
to the secretary of the treasury yes
terday from Jacksonville brought in
formation thai w. a. Bisbee. the
owner OF the alleged filihuster Daunt-
less, had filed an application. in a
modified form, for permission to clear

Sists in The agreement of Mr. Risbee

tend to violate the navigation laws. 1t
Is stated at the department that unless
Mr.. BiSbee includes the neutrality laws
in his promise. that he cannot get
clearance papers and the collector of
customs has been informed that the
department stands on its previous
decision not TO release the Dauntless
from custody unless all its conditions
are complied with The explanation
given at the department of its reasons
for insisting on sworn statements from
stringent in form than is usually re-
quired, is that no chances can be taken
that might cause this government TO
be embroiled in foreign trouble.
1t is said that the conviction OF Cap
tain Hart, of the Laurida, established
that the Dauntless was clearly in
vOlved in filibustering operations.
Under those circumstances, 10 grant
clearance papers without observing
unusual precautions and insisting on
stringent conditions would seem a
violation Of the neutrality obligations
of this government. The threat of
Mr. Bis5ee to enter another suit
against the collector at Jacksonville

officials and is a threat which will not

As the tug approached the Vesuvius,

New York, March 2.-The Suns Ha-
vana correspondent sends the following
statement given to him by General
Maxine Gomez at his Santa Clara
camp on Feb. %:
Il suppose that the American public
is well aware, now, of the fact that we
want only the absolute independence
of the island from Spain. But there is
one thing that 1 wish to add, that it
may be clearly understood by every
man in the United States, especially
as it appears that the administration
will now be in the hands of men who
love more dearly the honor of the ma
ton. What l should like every Amer
lean 10 know is this: We do not seek
to involve the United States in a war
with Spain. We do not try in the
least to compromise that country in
our struggle, or 10 win our independ-
ence with any material help from the
Americans.
No; we do not want American help.
and we did not count upon it when
We revolted against the tyranny of the
Spaniards. But we do not like TO see
the American nation siding with our
enemies, the American warships
haunting our expeditionary steamers,
the American police arresting our

We like fair neutrality. We like to

dent of the United States.
Il know that the American nation
does nor approve such conduct. and
is in full sympathy with our cause. 1

that President Mckinley viii be more

1t is known that the government at
