Dr. Itniz, an American Citizen ImPriSs
Omsd Ia Caha, Takes Hls Own Life.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-It can be
stated on the best authority that 30 far at
least, there Is no reason for apprehension
that the case OF DR.. Richard Ruiz, who
was found dead in his cell in the jail at
Guanabacla, Cuba, viii lead to inteFna-
tiunal complications.
The matter was brought to the atten-
tIon OF the state department in the latter
part OF the past week through complaint
a. some OF the friends Of the doctor IN
ahis country, The allegation was that
the man had been imprisoned beyond the
period allowed by treaty for an American
citizen to be kept In fall without the lodg-
nent Of charges, and that he had been
murdered by his jailerH. Consul General
Lee was Immediately directed by cable
20 Investigate the affair. although 1t apr
peared from his dispatches that ne nad
already had his attention directed 10 the
case. ~
The Official reports OF the Spanish otit-
Gers are said tu show that Rus1 commits
ted uuIoiJe while in jaiI but this has not
vet been communicated TO the uephrt-
ment OF state, Meanwhile Consul Gen.
erai Lee Is investigating the matter and
the state department IS awaiting his re-
port, In the absence OF this the depart
ment officlals feel no apprehension OF any
complications and all stories that war,

case arc without foundation.
DR.. Ruiz was natnralized AemTiCah
