INDEMNITY FOR RUIZ DEATH.
Children of the Wounded American
Will File n Claim Against
Spain.

Washington. March 24.-The children of
the late DR.. Ruiz, the naturalized Ameri-
can, who met his death in Cuba on Feb
ruary II, 1897. will institute proceedings
against the Spanish government for in
demnity. The first step to bring about such
action was taken to-day. when William A.
Richards. as their next friend, filed in the
probate court the petition of the children
asking that their mother. Rita Lesca de
Ruiz, be appointed their guardian.
In the petition, 1t is stated that, by
the unwarranted action Of the Spanish gov.
ernment. the petitioners have been deprived
Of the care, protection and support of their
father, and that they puspose to institute
a claim for damages against the Spanish
government. 1t is not yet decided what
amount will be asked for. and the plans to

LONDON PRESS COMMENT.
Daily Graphic Shows How Little 1t
Knows About the Situ-
alton,

London, March 25-The Daily Graphic
says editOrially this morning:
I'VE think it time that Washington ceased
wobbling. Weeks ago it was said that the
starting of the Spanish torpedo fiotilla for
the West Indies would compel America to
declare war. To-day the fiotilla is steam
ing straight for Porto Rico. Meanwhile.
clever journalists in New York are PLAN
ming ingenious campaigns to fix the odium
of declaring war on Spain.
Surely this is unworthy Of the Ameri
can people. Two clear lines Of policy are
before President Mckinley: Either to CO.
operate with the Sagasta cabinet in max
ing Cuban home rule a reality. or to give
Spain peremptory notice to quit.
ITO avoid both courses is to turn the ter
rible Maine disaster into a sort Of gruesome
red herring. If President Mckinley does
not mean war let him say SO. and the hor-
rors in Cuba will soon be mitigated."
The Standard this morning, commenting
editorially on the cabled abstracts of Sem
ator Thurston's speech in the United
States senate yesterday, severely CEN
sures it as a fragrant example Of the
recklessness of American politicians in
goading the Spanish people to war.
The editorial proceeds:
such oratory only adds to the insults
Spain has borne hitherto with PROUD
calm which has won European respect ard
should have shamed even bellicose SEN
atcrs. Such folly Is objectionable In
representative of a great nation that Is
forever declaring its affection for high
principles.
eff, however, Mr.. Thurston was aware of
the intentions of the Washington govern
ment the speech was significant. for the
government would scarcely employ
speaker SO deficient in self-restraint un-
less it wished the public mind to be fully
prepared for war. Fortunately, there Is
no clear evidence yet that President Nc
Kinley Is of Mr.. Thurston's way Of think

Relics From 'Tan1ps.

Deputy George Stewart returned
last night from long trip, having
been to Tampa, Fla, after a poor
devil who was working like a Tr,-
Jan IN the camp there but VS.
formerly of the Indian Territol :.
wanted for cattle theft and whose
bondsmen concluded to surrentr r
him. Of course he is still work
ing for the government, but II 1t
for $50 month. Lem Shipm,
told Officer Stewart when apprisrd
of his mission that he was sorry
the government had gone to all
this trouble. 1t was his full in
tention to return in the fall and
undergo trial in court.
Another relic which Deputy
Stewart brought with him was a
Cuban machete presented to him
by Captain Robert II. Bruce of
troop NJ, formerly of this city.
This crude implement OF warfare is
quite curiosity in the Indian
Territory, and has been inspected
by hundreds at the ARDMOREITE
office today. 1t resembles an old
time cOrn-knife, has a handle
made of bone about 5 inches long,
and blade which measures 26
inches in length and one and one
half inches in width.
Mr.. Stewart says he found the
Territory boys all hearty and well
and elated to see one from their
country. He says they are very
cheerful and seem perfectly pleased
with their lot. Some of the boys
seemed very eager to get to Cuba
or Porto Rico to get taste of act
ice service. Captain Bruce kindly
extended Mr.. Stewart the courte.
sizes of he camp, and he found ouI
that the boys idolized their young
captain. The boys are well fec
and have no complaint of any kint
to offer.

FREE GRASS.
An Orasnized Rand in the chIcksssw
Ea;Ic1 who Wsat More Grass
and Fewer Wire Fences.

Late last evening Deputy Ben
Z. Collins, assisted by two guards,
brought TO this city twelve persons
to be committed to Jail in default
of $500 bond each by Commission
er Hardy of Tishomingo, the
charge against the gang being the
wilful destruction of wire fences in
the POntOtoc country.
In conversation with the officer
today the ARDMoREITE learned
that there is regular organized
band, under the leadership of one
Charles Holmes, who is designated
captain, which has been plying its
nefarious vocation to the detri
ment of law-abiding people for
some time. Mr.. Collins says the
band numbers thirty-five members
and is made up of men rangiug in
age from II to 20 years. Many of
them, he says, never owned a COW
in their lives and do not even own
a pony; still they say they must
have free grass.
Of the entire band the officer
succeeded in getting twenty eight
of the number to Tishomingo for
trial, where they have been dealt
with as above stated. He says he
will not rest until he runs down
the whole gang; and, by the way
when Ben says it's horse it is
very apt not to be cow.
1t is estimated that in the dis
charge of their illegal calling those
men cut about forty miles of wire
fencing. Nor did they stop at
pastures. Field fences were
treated in the same manner and
the crops exposed to the cattle OF
the hills.
The parties brought to town b!
the officer were Edgar Barnes
Tom Ferris, John Anthony, JOt
Edwards, Tom Pogue, Marion An
thony, Charles Harris, William
Barnes, Buck HOsier, Arch Gray
George Pevey and John Williams
Just before they reached her,
bond had been made for them il
Tishomingo and the same was tele
phoned to the officers here, whel
they were set at liberty.
