airy command TO his first officer and
went to the camp of Gen. Alejahare
Rodriguez to inform him of the exc

turned and took charge of his troops.

NiLLiNG OF COL. RUIZ.
A Captured I~nsrrgcBt Throws Some
Light on the Trngedy.


Havana, Dee. "a Agripino Ortlz,
the orderly of Col. Nestor Aranguren,
has surrendered and been brought 10
Havana. In the presence of local
newspaper men and n number OF cor
respondents of American and osher
foreign newspapers, he said that the
late Lieut.. Col. Joaquin Ruiz was ex-
pected by Col. A%ranguran, as letters
had been exchanged between them.
Ruiz, he says, was very a~ffectionately
received, and, after br~eakfasting to-
getber and conversing privately an
hour they went with guides to Sierra
Jaruco. Ortiz does not know what oc-
Cured afterward, but says he does not
believe that Col. Aranguren betrayed
the trust reposed in him by Ruiz. lie
thinks that, owing to a difference eX-
listing between Aranguren and the in
surgent leader, Rafael de C%ardenas,
the latter maliciously ambushed them
and killed Ruiz. He suspects, however,
that Aranguren was killed also, tho
unable to confirm his suspicion.
