SUTLER WEEKLY TIMES THE RUIZ CASE. J. D. ALLEN Eprror. Confinement. The Republic lays before its read era the verbatim report of Consul General Lee to Secretary of State Sherman, which will be delivered to the State Department this morning. General Lee's finding in the famous Ruiz case ie, that the uchappy pby sician’s death was due to unjust and unwarranted confinement, incommu nicado, for a period of 315 hours, or 247 hours im excess of the period prescribed by his treaty rights. Whether he wa3 murdered or came to his death by his own hand, ina mad frenzy matters not, because, if the Jatter condition be true, the mental disorder was due to the en- forced confinement. General Lee finds that Ruiz was confined on false charges, improper jurisdiction was exercised, and that the man had no opportunity to prove his innocence. A sensational feature of the report is contained ia the inscription found on the chair which Ruiz used. It is a farewell note to his wife and chil- dren, in which he predicts that “they will murder ms” Commissioner Calhoun raturned to the United States yesterday. He spoke cautiously of the Ruiz case, and said that he was impressed by the Spanish disregard of the truth and the horrible condition of the people of the blighted island. WEYLER TO BE RECALLED. Washington, D C, June 7.—Wey- ler is to be recalled. This is the understanding between Canovas and the Queen. Dispatches from Madrid do not indicate it. They represent that Spain’s Cuban policy is to go on unchanged; that the war is to be continued as at present. Neverthe- less, it can be stated that Weyler is to be gacrificed. The removal of the Captain General will not take place at once. The Spanish government will wait for the excitement to die out and then there will be a new Captain General anda less barbarous campaign. That is what is concealed in the semi official announcements from the Spanish capital. Weyler has set the let of July as the date on which he will move with fire and sword upon the non com- batants of Puerto Principe and San- tiago. It is expected in Washington that the change of commanders and of tactics will take place before that horrible p'an of campaign goes into effect. The administration will wait to see what there is in this secret intimation of bette. intentions to- ward Cuba To a Senator who asked about the policy ef this country to-day teward Cuba the President responded: “My sympathies are with the Cubans. Iam going to do what I can for them, but I am not going to involve this country in war with Spain.” J. D. Atten & Co., Ptoprietors.

The tragedy Oecurred this afternoon at 3 o'clock, as the train errived upon which young Orr was preparing to leave. It is said he was going to Kansas City with a car load of stock. but is believed he was going to leave the country. The particulars, as far as can be learned, are that about two weeks ago it was dicovered that the daught er of MeIntyre had been betrayed, and the girl implicated Orr. Efforts had been made by Mr. McIntyre and friends to bave Orr marry the girl, which he refused to do, as he intended to marry an old sweetheart at Rogers, Ark. Since the discovery ef his daught- er's condition, Mr. McIntyre has been almost crazy with grief. This evening he went to the depot and shot Orr in the breast with a double barreled shotgun. First reports that Orr was dead, but he is stil] alive at the hotel, surrounded by parents snd relatives. McIntire immediately ‘Work Gives eut and 1,000 Men are Idle.

Urbana, Ohio, June 4 —*“Click” Mitchell, the negro who assaulted Mrs. T. M. Gaumer, was finally lynched this morning at 8 o'clock. This was the second attempt of the| 1 mob, which was repulsed at 2:30 o'clock by the militie, with the loss of two men dead and ten wounded A few minutes previous to this Company B of the Third Regiment, O.

The streets were filled with howling citizens, who booted the militia and threaten ed to stone them When the troops reached the jail Mayor Garson or- dered the soldiers to return home. The company faced about and started for the railway station, amid the cheers of thousands of excited people. ATTACKED TWE JAIL. No sooner had the soldiers’ backs been turned than a crowd ot several thousand of the best citizens of Ur- bana, unmasked, attacked the jail With sledge hammers they rained blow after blow upon the locks. But before the doors were burat open the Sher.ff delivered the keys to the mob. A mad rush was made for Mitchell’s cell. The leaders of the mob carried a long rope which was put about the negro’s neck. The victim was literally dragged from his cell, receiving kicks in the face and body as he was pulled along. The Court Heuse yard-was the objective point, and at the first tree the end of the rope was tossed over alimb. The negro soon swung in midair. The rope was not made fast to the limb, but was see eawed by the mob, the victim’s body being pulled up and suddevly lowered alternately. At one of these jerks Mitchell's fac> struck a limb and was flattened As he went up a great shout escaped the throats of the thousands of spectators of the grew- some sight. Many women werein the croad or just outside the Court House yard. Among the spectators was Mrs. Gaumer’s young son The guards on duty in the jail secreted them- selves in a place of safety while the mob was deiog its awful work The body of Mitehell was allowed to hang for about an hour, when it was cut down and placed in a rough woeden box in the Court House yard. Mitchell was about 23 years of age, and had served as a porter at oue of the local hotels. Mrs. Gaumer lived on a farm just outside the city limits, and her farm supplied milk to the hotel at which Mitchell was em- ployed. Mitchell yisited the Gaumer resi. dence daily for the supply of milk, and ia this way became conversant of the fact that Mrs Gaumer was alone most of the time after her children had gone to school each morning. A few days ago on the occasion of ove of these visits, the negro assault ed Mrs. Gaumer. The report was given out that he bad attempted te make her sign acheck for $500 in his favor, but the real motive, crimi- nal assault, was kept secret to pre- vent mob violence.

The mob made its first arrangements to lyneh Mitchell, but its plans miscarried. Sheriff McLain was warned and called out the local militia. THE FIRST ASSAULT. The militia fired at 2:30 o'clock thig morning upon a mob of 2,000 men who surrounded the County Jail. Two men were instantly killed, one was fatally wounded and nine others were shot The local militia company, under |~ arme, was atationed in the jail. When it became evident that an at- tack was to be made, Capt. Geo. W. Leonard, who was in charge of the company, stepped in front of the crowd. “I will give you three minutes to disperse,” he yelled. “If you do not I must fire.” At this there was a general rush from the jal When theattack was made from the rear, however, tre militia took the crash of hammers on the door asa signal to fire. As the rifles crashed out, and a dozen men were hit, the crowd fled in every di- rection, leaving the dead and wound ed lying about the jail. Sheriff McLain lays the blame of the lynching on Governor Bushnell, who, he claims, did not respond in time to hie call for aid. Sheriff Mc Lain says he telegraphed to Gov. Bushnell at 10 p. m. last night for more militis The Governor replied that local power must be exhausted first After the sbooting the Sherif asked again for help. He received no rsply, but learned that a Spring field colored company had been ordered tocome The Sheriff had the Colonel at Springfield order a white company in place of negroes. Sheriff McLain and Capt. Leonard, together with ten of the militiamen who fired on the meb this morning, went to Springfield te night to es cape the fury of the mob. The Sheriff and Capt Leonard escaped from the jail, where they been taken for their own protection, by the back way, and drove away in a carriage. It is thought that Capt. Leonard Jater left for Cleveland and Sheriff McLain for Cincinnati, though it is probable that they may atop off at come smaller points until the excite- ment abates Word comes from Spriogfield that the ten privates were driven there ina large back, and are still quartered in that eity. They all live in Urbana and the thought of firing on their friends, together with their terror of the mob, has almest prestrated all of them. The latest authentic reports from Cuba are to the effect that there are from 190,000 to 200,000 people on the verge of starvation in Cuba. An American coneul, who has made a careful study, says it is more than 250,000. These people have been compelled to leave their homes in the country by their Spanish com- mander, Weyler, and take refuge in the towns and are virtually prisoners of war. The report says unlike any other nation which claims to be civ- ilized Spain does not feed her pris- oners of war. Most of these people who bave submitted to the Spanish authorities and are thus held in these Prison camps sre women and chil- dren. The dispatch says: “An in- spection of a seitlement of the pacificos shows just how they are held as prisoners of war.
