The MURDER OF Or. RUIZ.
INDEMNITY CLAIM AGAINST
SPAIN TO BE PRESSED.
The State Department Preparing
distractions to be Sent to
Minister Woodford.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-Another de-
maffd is to be made upon Spain for the
payment of $4,000 indemnity TO The
widow of Dr. Ricardo Ruiz for the
murder of her husband in a Cuban Jail
The State Department is preparing an
instruction to Minister Woodford,
which Will be sent to that official IN a
few Gays, III which he will be directed
to call the attention of Minister of Fog
eign Affairs Sagasta to the fact that
this claim was presented last summer,
that it has not yet been paid nor, IN
fact, has a detailed answer been re-
ceived TO the note addressed TO the
late Minister Canovas The only reply
made las been a formal acknowledge
ment of the receipt of the claim.
There is reason TO believe that the
instructions which the department IS
preparing Will be more vigorous III
character than that submitted .ast
summer. The original note which ae-
companied the claim was courteous III
tone, and appealed TO SPANS sense q
justice. Since its presentation the
administration has made no attempt To
press the claim. mainly on account of
the regulations following the arrival
of Minister Woodford in Madrid wnicfi
have resulted in the inauguration of
autonomy in Cuba and the carrying ont
of a humane policy in the prosecution
OF the war 1t is expected by the adj
ministration that Spain may take an
argu,nentative course and endeavor 20
rebut the evidaSce produced by the
United States showing that Ruiz was
murdered by counter evidence that he
committed suicide.
The department received letter from
Mrs. Ruiz a few days ago in which she
asked to be informed as to the steps
taken to procure the payment of her
claim. Mrs. Ruiz wrote that she was
in needy circumstances, and expressed
the hope that the United States would
do All it could TO obtain the indemnity
demanded. The action taken by the
department effectually disposes Of re-
ports which have been persistently in
circulation for several months alleging
that Minister De Lone had privar9! ;
settled with Mrs. Ruiz, as was done
by his Government in the Deigado case

THE SALE OF AGRICULTURAL
PARK


Our present park grounds, now stu
ated in the heart of the residence por-
ton of the City of Sacramento, have
long since been inadequate for the uses
intended. Located and established
more than a third OF century ago, we
have outgrown their limited dimensions,
and are restrained from extension
thereof by reason of city streets and
valuable home property lying adjacent
thereto
The demands made upon us for the
accommodation Of livestock for exhib-
it and racing purposes requires US to
rent outside buildings and construct
each season about 100 stalls on lots out
side the grounds. We are ham
pered for room for the plac-
ing of dairy cattle away from
the noise and tumult during the
milk tests. as well as for proper build
ings for examination of stock. We find
that there is no other way to obtain the
necessary room than by sale and re-
moval to more extensive grounds
The State. by general law, has pro-
vided for sales of property of this kind
and the investment of funds received
thereby, which property when ac-
quired, shall be in sole ownership of the
State We are now perfecting our IL
tie TO this property. with the object of
complying with said law A consider
able portion of this land has been ac-
quired by purchase by this board, and
are owners in fee thereto Our title is
given also that the State may acquire
valuable property for the uses of ag-
ricultural fairs
Such imperfections of title as may
be are now in process of curing, and we
are pleased 10 say that not one indi-
vidual or heir who might have had
some reversionary interest has refused
to deed us their title. We do not antic-
ipate any trouble in perfecting the title
and sale of this land. as the uses to
which we are to put the funds insures
to this State the permanent establish
ment of a modern fair grounds that will
be a credit to this great commonwealth
and wherein may be shown with pride
the achievements Of her citizens in the
production of high-class stock Of all
| breeds.
| With this auxiliary to our present
| commodious agricultural pavilion. we
| hope to have quarters Of sufficient mag
nitude for the uses of the California
State Agricultural Society for another
'orty-five years of existence.

We refer to this from the, fact that

al fairs. and the managers Of some of
the leading fairs have found that All
attractions of this kind are nu- only

we'll
Our exhibit of livestock was repre-
sentative and in numbers up To what
could DE expected. as the du:Iaess OF
times did not tend to increa54 exhibits
when sales promised TO be light there
We're, however, more sales of high-c
cattle, sheep and swine than we're an
ticipar ed. as several exhibitors Of swine
sold their entire surplus
Now that cattle and sheep have
promised better returns, We look for a
large increase this year in ,h=se DEPART
ments
The attendance at the State Fair this
year was not up to that of former sea-
sons. We attribute this solely to ona
cause: The lack of money. For The
first year in five, the grain grower
reaped the benefits of advanced prices,
yet he was in debt he could not be 9th
erwise. His interest and store bills had
accumulated to an extent that threat
ened disaster if not reduced. Thus
were MS returns applied. and he re-
manned al home. With return ii
good crops and better prices, we hope
to make up our losses. We have kept
alive the interest and can but hope for
future reward.
JUDGING AT THE FAIRS.
Since our experiment of 1896 when
we obtained the services of Major H.
E. Alvord, Chief of the Dairy Division
of the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, to judge our milk-breed
classes of cattle at the State Fair Of
that year, we are more than ever con-
vinced that the employment of experts
thoroughly familiar with the require
ments of prize animals is the proper
method of deciding their superiority
The decisions made by Major Alvord
We're accepted without murmur on the
part of the defeated competitors, who
bowed to his knowledge and profited
thereby.
We are impressed with the ideas of
Gently quoted in some of the agricultur-
al press, that these exhibits should be
made an educational study for the
breeder, so that he may become en-
lightened on the necessary points in the
different animals that make them SUI
perior. There should be a bulletin
board in the ring, and oral explanations
of why decisions are SO made should be
given by the judge in concise language
so that exhibitors and spectators may
hear and understand the various quail
ties or defects of the animal judged.
We hope, with the opening of our new
park grounds. to provide an ample am
phitheater with seats for the audience
together with all the improved meth
DDS bearing upon the judging of all
classes of livestock to the end that in
creased interest may be taken in our
annual exhibitions, and the decision of
our judges add value to the prize-win
