Washington. February 21.-It can be
stated on the best Of authority that so
far at least there is no reason for ap-
prehensiOn that the case of DR.. Richard
Ruiz. who was found dead in his cell
in the Jail at Guanabacoa, Cuba, will
lead TO an international complica-
lions. The matter was brought TO the
attention of the State Department IN
the latter part of the past week
through complaint of some of the
friends of the doctor in this country.
The allegation was that the man had
been imprisoned beyond the period al
lowed by treaty for an American citi-
zen to be kept in jail without lOdg-
ment of charges and that he had been
murdered by his jailers. Consul Gen
eral Lee was Immediately directed by
cable 10 investigate the affair. al
though it appeared from his dispatches
that he had already had mis- attention
directed 10 the case. The official re-
ports Of the Spanish officers are said
To shCw that Ruiz committed suicide
while in Jail. but this has not yet been
communicated TO the Department or
State. Meanwhile Consul General Lee
is investigating the matter, and the
State Department is awaiting his re-
port. In the absence Of this the de-
partment officials feel no apprehension
Of any complications. and all stories
that varships have been called for by
General Lee or that this government
is making ready TO take fOrcible meas
ur~s in the case are without foundation.
Dr. Ruiz was a naturaliZed Ameri-
can citizen. He studied and practiced
dentistry in Philadelphia for some time
and returned to Cuba about the begin
ming Of the present insurrection. The
charge upon which he was arrested
was conspiracy in having participated
in the Gerailing of a train carrying
Spanish troops as a result of which two
Spanish officers were captured by the
insurgents
