OLNEY DECLINES To Furnish the Desired Corres- pondence to Congress, Lee in nt Montgomery. Vanger-- Young Lieuten Washington, March 4.—The Pres- ident today sent to the Senate a re- port made by Secre‘ary Olney on the resolution requesting the correspon- dence in the case of Dr. Ricardo Ruiz. The report suggests the inad- visability of supplying the corres+ pondence at this time, which sugges- tion the President indorses, saying that it would be incompatible wich the pulic interest todo so pending the public and exhaustive investigation about to be instituted, ‘The President adds the suggestion ‘that the Consul General should have professional aid in such investi- gation, though that matter, together with the selection of the particular persons to act with him, properly de- volves upon my successor in oftice.’” Instead of transmitting the official correspondence, the secretary sup- ples an account of his own composi- tion covering the essential facts in the case. He says: “Ruiz, a native of Cuba, came to this country during the revolution which terminated in 1878, and studi- ed dentistry at Philadelphia, declar- ing his intention to become a citizen of the United States in 1877, taking his final papers in 1880. After this he returned to Cuba, and has revid- ed there since.’? He details Ruiz’ arrest on Febru- ary 4, of which he says, the depart- | ment was immediately informed, but that nothing more was heard of the matter until February 17, when the Consul General reported that Ruiz had been found dead.

The circum- stances attending the death were such as to lead to ademand for im- mediate investigation. After such personal examination as he was able to make, the secre- tary continues: ‘The Consul Gen- eral reported to the department that Ruiz was kept for 315 hours ina small, close and filthy cell, 3 feet by 5, having a rough stone floor with no window and only a six inch square opening in the door for the admission of food, which aperture was kept shut except when so used; that he died from neglect or violence; that an autopsy showed seven contusions on his head; that he died from cop- gestion of the brain; that there was no fracture of the skull, but all knowledge was confined to the offic- ials, and that it was difficult to ascer- tain the facts. “He says that, on the other hand, the acting governor general of Cuba, io a report made to . this government on February 28, states that Ruiz was confined in a room over 8x19 feet, with a large window; that the room showed no signs of dampness, and that Ruiz had an easy chair and as comfortable bed. This official also reports that Ruiz was found in his room very much excited with a con- tusion on his head, after a blow was heard in the room. He says the prisoner was then removed w a bet- ter room; that on the 17th he was found by the attendant in the act of butting his head against the grating of the door, and, though quieted by the attendant, shortly after died.’’ The conclusion of the official re- ports of the two governments being thus radically conflicting, the secre- tary says another open and thorough investigation seemed to this govern- ment indispensable, and that the ANNOUNCEMENT, ‘The Sun is authorized to announ:e 1.

CONSUL G RAL IN DANGER Believed the American Represent- ative Will Be Attacked. Havana, March 4.—The American residents in Havana are greatly ex- cited by the reports concerning the bitter feeling of the Spanish volun- teers against General Lee and the United States. American citizens fear an attack on the United States consulate, which at present is not protected against possible aggression from the Spanish mob. Consul General Lee preserves a dignified attitude and quietly attends to his office business. He has no means of repelling an attack, and knows perfectly well that the ill-feel- ing of the Spanish masses against him grows more threatening dally. The release of Sanguilly and his safe arrival at Key West have caused great indignation among the Span- iards. They comment on the affair with much bitterness, and say it is a disgrace to Spain, and that Spaniards ought not to tolerate it. Gen. Weyler is expected to return Havana soon. The report that he had been called by the Spanish gov- ernment is confirmed, but the fact has not yet beeo officially aanounced. ‘The real cause for his recall is not a disagreement between the Captain General and the central government concerning the treatment of Ameri- can citizens and the release of San- guily, but the total military failure of Weyler in the Santa Clara Pro- vince and recent victories of Gen.Go- mez over Col. Arjoua and Gens. Gas- co, Segura and Ruiz. The report of the disagreement between Weyler and the Madrid government, is only an excuse for concealing the real facts of Weyler’s failure in Santa Clara. Weyler is greatly embittered against the Americans and Gen. Lee. It is certain that while remaining in office until his successor’s arrival, it will be only under pressure from Madrid that he will try to protect the Ameri- can Consul from the consequences of Spanish animosity. COMMUNICATION, ‘The Populists of Marshall county haye thrown wide open their doors and invite all manner of men to join them in the Briensburg mass meeting for the ostensible purpose of naming a ‘Citizens Ticket” for the various offices of of Marshall county to be filled the ensuing four ye: Less than half a dozen years ago any man would have been laughed at and called crezy if he had staked his reputation as a pro- phet on the fact that the average ‘‘hayseed’’ of good old Mar- shall county, would have become so wily and cunning, in the science of politics in so short a space of time. However, the people of this county are proverbial for their craftiness in almost every vocation of life.
