WILL NOT LEAD TO TROUBLE.
Rumors About Complications Over DR.
Ruiz's Death Greatly Exaggerated.

Washington, Feb 21-It can be stated
on the best authority that SO far, at least,
there is no apprehension that the case of
Dr. Ricardo Ruiz, who was found dead
in his cell in the Jail ut Guanabacoa, Gu
ba, will lead to any intcrnational compli-
cations. The matter was brought to the
attention of the state department in the
latter part of last week by the complaint
of some of the friends of the doctor in
this country.
The allegation was made that the doc
tor had been imprisoned beyond the limit
allowed for an American citizen to be
confined in Jail without the Judgement of
charges and that he had been murdered
by his jalcrs.
Consul Gen. Lee was Immediately di-
rccted by cable to investigate the af-
fair. although it appeared from his re-
ports that he had already had his at
tention directed to the case.
The reports of Spanish officers are said
to show that Ruiz committed suicide
while in Jail, but this has not yet been
communicated to the department of state.
Meanwhile Consul General Lee is investi-
eating the matter and state department
officials feel no apprehension of any com
plications and all stories that have gone
forth that Gen. Lee or this government
was making preparations to take forcble
measures in this case are unfOundcd.
DR.. Ricardo Ruiz was naturalized
American citizen. He studied dentistry
in Philadelphia for some time and return
ed to Cuba about the beginning of the

OHIO VALLEY FLOODS.
A Heavy Rainfall and More is Threat
ened-Serious Damage May Result.

Cincinnati, Feb. 22.-For seventy-two
hours, up to 10 o'clock tonight, a steady
rain has fallen over the entire area of the
immense watershed of the Ohio valley,
with the exception of the mountainous
portions of western New York and west
ern Pennsylvania, where the telegraph
reports rain tonight Here tonight it is
still drizzling from black sky that
threatens heavy rainfall before morning,
in which case conditions for great flood
will be presented. For the past twelve
hours there has been by signal service
measurements rainfall of 81 inches.
On both sides of the Ohio and the Big
Sandy the tributaries are at high flood
tide. Floods of melted snow are flow
ing into the great tributaries and thence
into the Ohio, filling it. Should the rain
cease before midnight the present flood at
this point will probably stop within the
55 mark, which would cause no
great inconvenience. Should heavy
rainfall occur over a considerable area of
the Ohio valley there is no predicting
what stage the water would reach ut Gin
cinnati.
At midnight the river here was forty
eight feet seven inches and rising five
inches per hour, as it has been doing for
six hours.
Specials to the Commercial-Trib in
dicatc that near midnight there is no
rain in the Ohio valley and the storm is
passed. They also report almost unpre-
cedcnted high water in the MonOngahela,
Kenawha and West Fork rivers in Penn
sylvana and West Virginia. The rail
roads are blocked by washouts. Unless
more rain falls the rise here is not likely
to, go above tifty-five feet

quite furious. calling my action one of
strange holiness.

ing that | desired to talk about the situa-
ton of the revolution with Gen. Gomez.
The general refused to talk on the sub
iect and asked me to sign an act recognize
ing the independence of Cuba. replied
that l was unwilling to do so. Immc-
diatey Gomez ordered me to be taken
away"
While prisoner in the camp of Gomez,
Senior Morole was closely guarded by
scntinels. A courtmartial was organized
TO try Senior Morole and other prisoners.
Senior Morole made a personal defense.
1t looked for q, time as if he would be
condemned to die. The tide was turned
by the interference of Col. Gordon, an
American He said if the prisoner was
executed he would Immediately abandon
the cause of the Insurgents.
"Do not scandaliZe the cause" he said.
"we will not become assassns by shoot
ing war correspondents"
Great excitement followed these re-
marks and the prisoner was released.
Senior Morole said that of all the officers
in Gen. GOmez's camp there was none

and respected him. The officers said that
bad treatment of Morole by Gomez was
due to the fact that Gomez had become

Gomez's camp there were about 10000
men and II is calculated that 5000 men
were distributed in small bands through
out the village. They are well armed,
but with different kinds of rifles and am
munition. Some are deliberately and
others are poorly dressed. Senior Morole
said that the wounds received a short
time ago in Matanzas province are all
healed. Morole says that Gomez is max
ing the war not cause of emancipation,
but one of revenge for the death of his
son. The story that Gomez was wounded
in a battle few days ago, Senior Morole
says, is untrue.
