gentleman's "long' prayer of the morning
the prayer that covered every want, possible
and mpossble-always occupied exactly a
quarter of an hour, never a minute longer
and never a minute less. So long had the
aged preacher followed this rule that it had
become settled matter of orthodoxy. No
minister from the neighboring town was
ever acceptable, for not one could spin out
his prayer like their own pastor One morn
ing the pastor was ILL., He walked painfully
to the little chapel and informed the fright
ened deacons that they must get through
the service somehow, but that he would
ascend the pulpit and preach the sermon, a
short one. After much trouble the deacons
arranged which of them should read and
give out the hymns and which should pray
Brother Brookes was deadly pale when he
commenced the 'long' prayer. He could
pray for few minutes, but for fifteen!
He prayed and prayed; he spoke on every
conceivable thing. Slowly travelled the
minute hand of the clock Seven, eight, ten
minutes passed, and the praying brother
was at the end of his resources. He dare
would lose favor with his fellow worshipers.
SO, with brilliant originality, he drew a
deep breath and proceeded: "And now, o

THE RUIZ EXECUTION.
General Lees Account to Department
of State

Washington, Feb. THE president
today transmitted to the house the re-
ports from Consul General Lee relat-
ing to the execution of Colonel Ruiz,
which the house called for by resolu-
ton. These reports consist of two dis
patches to the state department from
General Lee and is in the form of a
narrative account of the circumstances
attending the execution. General Lee
writes:
After Ruiz had proceeded two
leagues, he was met by Aranguren,
who was mounted and had an escort
of Il cavalry. Colonel Ruiz, after the
exchange of salutations, began a
speech to Aranguren and his party,
setting forth the prospective glorieS
of autonomic rule and, l am advised,
made offers upon the part of the au-
thorities for the surrender of his COM
mand whereupon Aranguren, acting
under the instructions of his general
in-chief, Maxine Gomez, had Colonel
Ruiz and his two men executed.
1T will be remembered that in No
vember last. Gomez issued a proclama-
ton ordering his officers to put to
death any person or persons that ap-
preached them with the effort TO make
them traitors to their comrades, or
cause, or to induce them to accept au-
tOnomy under Spanish rule.
In accordance with a request made
of me by the Russian consul and
other friends of Ruiz. and with the
the knowledge. consent. and approval
of General Blanco, made the attempt
10 save the lie OF the spanish officer
by sending to him Mr.. Ernest Tosca,
as my representative.
Il regret to say" continues General
Lee, that my representative did not
reach the insurgent camp in time to
deliver said note before Colonel Ruiz $
execution, which had taken place on
the day of RuiZ's arrival
1T now appears that Colonel Ruiz
visited the insurgent camp in his pri-
vate or unofficial capacity. and that
with the exception of one or two of
the authorities of the palace. and pos
sibly few others, no one knew of his
errand or departure. 1t would seem,
therefore, that he went into the in
surgent camp in an unofficial or private
capacity, and not under a flag of truce.

procedure always hazardous TO the life
of anyone who attempts it."
