MESSENGER WAS TOO LATE.

Consul General Lee Describes the Failure
of His Attempt to Save Col. Ruiz, Dar-
ing Spaniard, from Execution by Insur-
gents.
Washington, Feb. S.-Thc president
Yesterday transmitted to the house the
reports from Consul General Lee rel
ative to the execution of Col. Ruiz,
which the house called for by resolu-
tion. These reports consist OF two dis
patches to the state department from
Mr.. Lee. The first, under date OF De-
cember 81, gives the circumstances at
tending the execution.
"Col. Ruiz came to the insurgent
camp dressed in the uniform of a
Spanish military officer and before the
Cuban forces made to Col. Aranguren
propositions of autonomy for Cuba.
Col. Aranguren, respecting the orders
of our army, made Ruiz prisoner and
he. was executed later, after court
martial had been held.
Gen. Lee says: "In accordance with
request made to me by the Russian
consul and other friends of Col. Ruiz,
and with the knowledge and approval
of Gen. Blanco, made an attempt to
save the life of the Spanish officer by
sending to him Ernest Tosca as my
representative here with the following
note to Aranguren:
4 am informed that a Spanish Off
Ger named Col. joaquin Ruiz is your
prisoner. The said officer is personal
friend of mine and has shown me kind
nesses since my arrival in Havana.
therefore request you as a special favor
to me to release Col. Ruiz and to allow
him to return here. The bearer of this
note, Ernesto Tosca, is my personal
representative and l commend him tc
YOU
II regret to say that my representa-
tive did not reach the insurgent camp
in time to deliver said note before
Col. Ruiz's execution, which had takeI
place on the day of Ruiz's arrival"
1T now appears that Col. Ruiz Wis
tied the insurgent camp in his private
or unofficial capacity, and that with
the exception of one or two of the au
thorities of the palace and possibly {
few others, no one knew of his erTauC
or departure. 1t would seem, there
fore, that he went into the insurgen
camp in an unofficial character and no
under flag of truce or other officia
protection in war, procedure alway
hazardous to the life of any one VIII
attempt it."

Trial at WIIkesbarre, Pa, Proceeds.

sixty-ssven OF sheriff Martins Depdties
Furnish Bonds for $4,000 Each-The
Trial ut Wilkesbarre, Pa, Proceeds.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. S.-Hundreds
of persons, anxious to hear what ac-
tion Judge Woodward would take in
reference to the sensational outbreak
on Saturday between Attorneys Gar
man and Lenahan, opposing counsel in
the Lattimer shooting case, thronged
the court room Monday.
Judge Woodward spoke of the Incl
dent of Saturday, saying that after he
had left the bench and before court ad-
journed, an alteration had arisen be-
tween two lawyers engaged in the trial
which the court did not fully hear, nor
realize the words used until they were
seen in the newspapers
Had we heard" said the judge,
''what was said, we should have dealt
with the lawyers in summary manner,
as the affair so deserved, and if there
is a repetition of it we shall punish the
guilty parties for contempt OF court"
The first witness was Silas Jones,
justice of the peace of West Hazleton.
He stated that he had seen the meeting
of the deputies and strikers at West
Hazleton and followed the deputies to
Lattimer. He saw Sheriff Martin ad-
vance toward them with paper in his
hand. Some of them surrounded him
and long alteration occurred, but
the witness could not see exactly how
the alteration commenced, OF how 1t
terminated.
Just before noon the court accepted
| bail for all the accused deputies and
| the sheriff in the amount of So, 900 in
each case, making $4O9, 900 in all. Bal
was furnished by the Philadelphia
Surety Co.
George Yeager testified that he Joined
| the strikers and marched with them to
Lattimer. He described the meeting
with the sheriff, and said the sheriff
drew his revolver and pointed it at the
strikers. He grabbed one of them ano
pulled him out from the others, all the
time holding the pistol at his breast
Then some one shouted to shoot anC
the deputies fired. after the frs
few Shots" said the witness, there
was volley and then a number O
separate shots and II men were killed
in five minutes and lots wounded"
The witness said he could point ou
any deputy who was present at tn
shooting and the defense scored stroni
point by calling up in front of the wit
ness stand John Hampton, chief of tn
coal and iron police. Yeager was aske'
if he had seen Hampton with the depu
ties.
"Yes," he exclaimed; 'he was in tn
line, and was holding his rifle thi
way" and he illustrated the position.
The defense will prove that Hampto
was not on the scene at all, but was i
Hazleton at the time.
Thomas Hall, clerk of the Vale
hotel in Hazleton, testified to cor
versation he had heard on the Sunda
following the shooting from the lips {
Deputy John Turney. Turner was /
the hotel and he said, speaking of tn
shooting: I'VE all marched out
