that Japan could finish off all the Rus

THE KILLING OF RUIZ,
The Foreign Affairs Committee VIII In-
vestigate the Matter.

Washington, Jan. 21.--The Ruis re-
ferred to in the resolution introduced
by the foreign affairs committee of the
house. is not DR.. Ruis, who was killed
in a suburb of Havana, and whose case
has attracted much attention but Col
onel Ruiz, the Spanish officer at Ha-
vana who is said to have gone, under a
flag of truce, to meet the insurgents
and urge them to accept autonomy
After entering the insurgent lines his
profession of autonomy was rejected.
and he was executed by one of the in
surgent commanders.
This case has not been taken up in
congress before, and it is said that the
inquiry will put the transaction in a
new light Although several of the
members insisted that the Cuban topic
had not been touched upon except in
this resolution. others attached consid-
erable significance to inquiries by one
of the republican members. Smith of
Michigan. as to what the Cuban sub
committee had done in the Morgan
senate resolution recognizing Cuban
belligerency Mr.. Adams. chairman of
the Cuban committee. explained that
inquiries We're being made at the state
department with a view of taking such
action as would be appropriate
The line of inquiry of Mr. Smith led
TO the impression that he and others
of the committee desired action on the
belligerency subject
Mr.. Williams, author of the Ruiz res
olution. says the inquiry is for the pur-
pose of correcting public misappre-
hension as to the facts in the execution
of Colonel Ruiz. The latter Mr. VIII
liams said. never had the right to claim
immunity under flag of truce as he
had been warned by the insurgents
commander, Aranguren that he would
be amenable to the DEGREES of the in
surgent government. one of which was
that any person entering the insurgent
camp and proposing autonomy should
be treated as a spy.

careful, exhaustive and learned report
by the present secretary of agricul-
ture (Mr WILSON,, then a distinguished
member of the house. and by distin-
guished democrat, now a. member of
the interstate commerce commission
(Mr. Morrison). the claim was thrown
out as unworthy of the attention of the
PATRIOTIC representatives sent here not
to loot. but to guard the treasury
There was considerable parliamentary
sparring and finally at 4:55 p. m., the
house adjourned without action on the
bill.
