NEW YORK, April 25.-The State
Department at Washington has noti-
fed Mrs. Rita l.. Ruiz, widow of the
late DR.. Ruiz, who was murdered in
prison at Guanabacao. Cuba, while a
captive of the Spaniards, that the chair
on which he wrote his last message
would be forwarded to her.

General Fitzhugh Lee soon after the
murder of DR.. Ruiz, which occurred
February 4, 1896. General Lee kept 1t
until he left Havana two years ago,
when he gave it to the British Vice
Consul, Mr.. Jerome, who kept it until
General Lees return to Havana after
the war. At the request of Mrs. Ruiz
he has forwarded it 10 Washington.
The message, which was written on
the back Of this chair by DR.. Ruiz, who
dipped his nails in his own blood reads:
Mercedes, mine, Evangeline, Ricar.

THE TYRoLEsE SLAVES,
They May be Sent Back to Their
Own Land.

OWu LauQ.
SAN FRANCISCO, Apr. 25.-The ten
Tyrolese who escaped from the Doric
have found asylums in this city, and
there is possibility of legal fight be-
fore it is decided whether they are to
remain or are to be sent back to their
own country.
Seven of the immigrants are quar-
tered on the southeast corner of Broad
way and Kearny streets over the saloon
kept by John Tarato, who was instru-
mental in their escape. The other
three are living in lodging-house at
270 Brannan street.
Just what the legal status of the i'm
migrants is is question. They cannot
be extradited, for they have committed
no crime either in this country or their
own. They cannot be sent on to Homo
lulu, for this country does not recog-
nize the contract that requires their
presence there. The only solution OF
their case from the standpoint of the
Government seems to be to send them
back to Austria on the ground that
they are not entitled to remain in this
country under the immigration laws.
They desire to remain here and their
friends promise that if they be allowed
to stay they will be given work suffi-
cient to keep them from becoming pub.

DEwEr IN TIGHT PLACE.



Aliwal North, Cape Colony, Dec. o.
Gen. Dewet appears to be in a most
dangerous position and to need all
his strategy to extricatc his force.
With strong British columns on three
sides and two swollen rivers barring
his front, the British commanders
begin to be hopeful that the great
chase Ey four columns which has
been one of the most exciting opera
tions of the war will result in the
capture of Dewet.
It is not clear from Kitchener's
meager dispatch whether the road
through Reuxville to Wepener is still
open to him. If it be closed he may
be run down in the southeastern
corner of the Orange River colony.
Gen. Kitchener has evidently made
the capture of Dewet the first object
of his campaign, and is not leaving a
stone unturned. Gen. Macdonald has
been sent to Aliwal North and Knox's
forces include several mobile mounted
columns.

it is stated that it was only $24. He
says that the method of burning the
child's body was adopted for the pur-
pose of giving it the appearance of
