Formal request has been made by the
House for such information as the State
Department may possess respecting tina
execution OF Colonel Ruiz OF the Spanish
army In Cuba by the insurgent commander
whom he was trying 10 win away from the
ihsurgent cause. 1t Is TO be hoped that if the
STATE Department possesses any important
Information bearing upon the subject II
Will comply with the request.
The Spanish statement of the matter Il
this: Colonel Ruiz was carrying a flag of
truce: his object was TO help secure peace:
he was a personal friend of the insurycnt
Chief with whom he had come to treat
Therefore his execution was a fragrant sin
against friendship, humanity and the rules
OF war
Let us examine this statement How is
IL possible for nag of truce to cover a
oishonorabIe proposition? Colonel Ruiz and
the insurgent chief were not confronting
each other with their respective commands
in battle array. Thers had been no fight
ing between them The proposition was
not one to put stop to further bloodshed
Immediately impending Colonel Ruiz had
ridden from distance, with only a perso-
nal escort, and with a proposition which
the commandsr-in-chief of all the insur-
gent forces had prescribed by formal order.

lines making oyertrres for autonomy was

Recent explosions Of gasoline in this city
suggest that there Is a dangerous degree
of carelessness among the users OF this
liquid. There are not so many such acct
dents nowadays as formerly, probably
owing to an Increase of caution among the
people and also to the substitution of new
and improved methods of burning 1t as a
fuel But there seems to be grave danger
still in the use of the material. One COM
men source of danger is the habit of serv-
ants and others of filling the supply tanks
of gasoline stoves while the burners are
alight. This is reckless and often leads to
disastrous explosions Sometimes trouble
arises from the use of the fluid for cleaning
purposes in a closed room. The accidental
lighting of a match or the Use of too much
friction in rubbing may cause an ignition
of the gases from the volatile liquid. In
almost every case there is some degree Of
carelessness, too much reliance upon good
luck" These accidents are avoidable in
every case. The users of gasoline and
other similar fluids of highly volatile and
inflammable nature should approach them
with every known caution and with the
understanding that the least neglect of a
single item of care may cost lives and
pi operty.

Investigate the Ga. supply.

There is ample ground for the begin
ring Of an investigation into the price
and quality Of the gas furnished the WASH
ington consumers as is now proposed by
the House District committee. Ever since
the passage of the bill reducing the rate
at which gas might be sold to the people
there have been complaints as to the quail
ity of the illuminant and 1t has been COM
mon experience for families enjoying no
greater illumination than before to find
the monthly bills running as high as ever.
The Star took cognizance Of these COM
plants some time ago and investigated
them as far as lay in Its power. The COM
pany officials denied the statements as to
the price and pointed to the meters as the
only test Of the quantity of gas used and
to the statute as fixing the rate. The ac-
cusations of bad quality were evaded. 1t
was answered by the company that the
gas was rich in carbon, and was therefore
of a high illuminating power, but that
the standard established by the law of
1896 was unnecessarily severe, requiring the
use of much enriching material that
the gas when burned in the ordinary tip
would necessarily produce soiling smoke
and SCOT.
The mere fact that the people have con-
tinued to protest In numbers against the
bills rendered and the damage done to
their eyes and house furnishings by the
gas is sufficient reason for SUCH an inquiry
as is now proposed. In no other way than
by formal investigation by a committee
with power to require attendance and to
secure answers can the approximate truth
be disclosed. Verified records of the COM
pany's receipts from individual consumers
ought to be produced before such a COM
mittee. They shoHd cover a period both
before and after the enactment of the eX-
listing law, in order that the committee
may observe the effect of the rate re-
duction on the bills.
AS to the quality the committee can
readily summon experts who, free from
prejudicos can be relied upon to testify
accurately to the neeJ of choking burn
ers with refuse and soiling furniture and
wall paper with smoke. under the pretense
OF complying with the requirements of
the law in regard to illuminating power.
Those requirements. were adopted after
careful consideration. and the protests Of
the company at the time are not to be
considered unless they are now shown by
independent evidence to be well founded.

to be hanged. A specific warning had been
hrmanely given. Colonel Ruiz was violat-
ing an order, and as soldier should have
known that he was going to his death.
But conceding the point of the flag of
truce-which, however, has not been estab-
lished-by what right did the Spaniards on
this occasion raise the white flag? They
had hitherto been operating exclusively
under the black flag. They had refused to
acknowledge the existence of war in Cuba.
They had stigmatized the insurgents as
bandits and had been treating them as
such. They had offended against all Of the
humanities, even to the extent of raiding
hospitals and starving to death women and
children by thousands. Why suddenly raise
the white flag and demand scrupulous re-
spect for 1t, when, according to SPANS
own contention. no man in arms in the
island against Spanish authority was en-
titled to the treatment of a soldier or even
of human being?
Colonel Ruiz is described as the personal
friend of the insurgent chief whom he had
come to corrupt: Imagine friendship like
that, Suppose Colonel Ruiz had succeeded.
Suppose his friend" had succumbed to his
wiles and gone over to the Spanish side,
taking his command with him, Suppose no
other means had been employed to bring
about the change but affectionate expostu-
lations-a sort of argument. What opinion
would Colonel Ruiz subsequently have held
of his frisnd? But suppose money and
promise of high office had been used to
effect the change. What opinion then
would Colonel Ruiz have held of his friend?
Would he have given him his hand in pub
lie after that? Would he have aided to put
him in responsible command anywhere on
the Spanish side?
Colonel Ruiz is dead. and everybody re-
grets it. He may have possessed fine per-
sonal and soldierly qualities. But that. in
his last mission, his zeal carried him be-
yond all sense or right, and that his execu-
ton was justified in the circumstances,
seem thoroughly well established from all
that is now known about the unfortunate
affair.
