rather more remarkable for its omis-

STOKES A HAPPY MAN.
He is the Possessor of the Private
Papers Of Boss" Tweed.

NEW YORK, Feb. There is at
least one man in New York to-day who
holds the happiness, honor and fortune
of great many people in the hollow
of his hand. This man is w E. D.
Stokes. Mr.. Stokes came into pos
session of all the private papers of VIM
NJ. Tweed several years ago. He has
made a thorough study of them with
the idea Of writing a book on the sub
ject.
According to his story, more than
81 100000 was paid out by the Boss
for brides and buying up individuals
that other people to this day know
nothing about. Evidences of these
payments are still in existence, with
the Endorsements of the parties directly
concerned.
The surrender of Tweed by the Spar
ish Government after his escape from
Ludlow-street Jail Is described by the
papers in the possession of Mr.. Stokes
as political work to secure the election
of Republican President. Mr.. Stokes
says also there is q real confession Of
Tweed in existence, which Is likely to
be published and which is bound to
create the liveIiest kind of stir. He
says Tweed's diary is the most inter-

references to everyone that called On

EXECUTION OF COLONEL RUIZ.
REPORTS FROM GEN. LEE SENT
TO THE HOUSE.
The Officer Visited the Insurgent
Camp in Unofficial Way and Not
Under a Flag Of Truce.

WASHINGTON. Feb. THE Presi-
dent to-day transmitted to the House
the reports from Consul General Lee
relating to the execution of Colonel
Ruiz, which the House called for by
resolution. These reports consist of two
dispatches to the State Department
from General Lee The first, under
date Of December 21st, is in the form of
a narrative account Of the circumStan-
ces attending the execution.
LAS matter of public interest" says
General Lee, have the honor to in
form the department that on Monday,
December 18th, Lieutenant Colonel Don
Juan Ruiz of the Spanish Corps of En-
ginears, and aide de camp Of the Cap
tain-General, an officer we'll and favor
ably known in this city. visited Colonel
Aranguren, an active and enterprising
insurgent chief with whom he had been
formerly we'll acquainted, as he had
been in his employment when Ruiz had
charge of the water works of this city.
Colonel Ruiz left here at q a. M.
Monday, December 18th, alighting at
Campo Florida, twenty-one miles from
this city, where he breakfaSted with
the Spanish commander. and in COM
man and a negro, he rode on horseback
in he direction of Arrangements camp.
After Re had proceeded two leagues he
was met by Aranguren, who was
mounted. and had an escort Of fourteen
cavalry. Ruiz, after the exchange or
salutations, began a speech to Arangur-
en- and his party, setting forth the
prospective glories of autonomic rule,
and, 1 am advised. made offers upon
the part of the authorities for the sur
render of his command, whereupon
Aranguren, acting under the instruc-
tons of his General-in-C Chief. Maxine
Gomez had Colonel Ruiz and his two
men executed.
'.In accordance with q request made
to me by the Russian Consul and other
friends of Colonel Ruiz, and with the
knowledge, consent and approval OF
General Blanco, made the attempt to
save the life of the Spanish officer by
sending to him Ernesto Tosca as my
representative with the following note:
Havana, Dec. 16, 1S97-Nestor
Aranguren-My Dear Sir: l am in
formed that a Spanish officer named
Colonel Joaquin Ruiz is your prisoner
l write to say that the said prisoner
shown me kindness and courtesy since
my arrival in Havana. /, therefore, re-
quest you as a special favor to me to
release Colonel Ruiz. and to allow him
to return to this capital. The bearer
OF this note Ernesto Tosca, is my per-
sonal representative, and commend
him to you. (Signed) Fitz Hugh Lee.
Il regret to say continued General
Lee that my representative did not
reach the insurgent camp in time to de-
liver said note before Colonel Ruiz's
execution. which had taken place on
the day Of Ruiz's arrival.
1T row appears that Colonel Ruiz
visited the insurgent camp in his pri-
vate OF unofficial capacity, and that
with the exception of one or two of the
authorities of the palace. and, possibly,
few others. no one knew of his err
