A dispatch to the Herald from Havana', Via Key West, says: '; ; Consul-General : Lee has resigned. His letter tendering his resignation, under certain conditions, goes by the. 'next mail. . He determined some days ago to take such a step if he were not upheld in his efforts to proteot all American citizens in Cuba. ."'.'. The consul-general asked the state department that he be authorized to ob tain the release of citizens of the Uni ted States confined in Cuban prisons, uner the same illegal oircumstances as was the ill-fated Ruiz. Such authori zation has not been granted. Spanish warships in Cuban waters have since yesterday been concentrat ing in the harbor of Havana. This is regarded as very ' significant, in view of the important incidents of the last few days.' . Great pressure is being brought to bear here to make Consul-General Lee deny the Herald's Jacksonville dispatch to the effect that the diplomatic repre iientative of the United States in Ha vana had asked the government to send warships to Cuban waters. As a pre text for such denial, and as a basis upon which it can be founded, it is stated that, according to the dispatch, Consul-General Leo has asked for a warship to take him to the United States. " , i What the consul-general did do, I can reiterate on the highest authority, was to ask for warships to support him in his efforts to proteot Americans in peril of their lives and American inter ests, which were in jeopardy. . The Herald's Jacksonville dispatch, therefore, was absolutely correct, and upon' indisputable authority I can con firm it in every detail. If necessary, further, I am confident that I can se cure and send to the Herald the full official telegram in which Consul General Lee asked for warships. Great anxiety is' felt at the palace, and in all official circles at-the news from Oienfuegos, which states that that oity is the center of a serious mutiny of the Spanish troops. Large arrears of pay are due the army in Cuba, and the discontent caused by this has cul minated in open disobedience in the Spanish ranks in the Cienftiegos dis trict. ' , , ,;. .; i .. , . The insurgents in the eastern end of the island have captured Bayamo, an important town in Santiago. PASSED B THE , HOUSE. ! The General DeQolenor Appropriation .Washington, Feb. 24. The : house today passed the general deficiency bill and began the consideration of the last of the many bills, that providing for the naval establishment. A long de bate occurred oVer the propriety of the appropriation of $1,800,000 for the Southern Pacific railroad under the judgment of the court of claims, , but the house, by a vote of 102 to 188, re fused to strike it out. The members who favored the appropriation for the repayment to members- of the last con gress of salaries withheld from them on account of absenoe. carried their fight into the house, but they were beaten, 96 to 122. Sixteen of the forty-eight pages of the naval bill were completed, t The attempt of Mr. Grosvenor to secure an amendment to retain session em ployes -on the-roll after March 4 to March ; 15, when , the extra1 session would begin, drew from him, when pressed as to whether he was author ized to proclaim an "extra session," the good-natured admission that he was authorized to assume that there would be an extra session. la the Senate. Washington, Feb. 24. The senate turned its attention to the Indian ap propriation bill. It involved a contest over sectarian . schools. The clause directing temporary contracts with these schools when no government schools were available was agreed to, 51 to 8. A provision was added declaring it j to be the settled policy of the govern ment hereafter to make no appropria tions whatever for the support of sec tarian schools. . A further amendment, ' offered by Gallinger, directing that all appropriations to sectarian schools end on June 80, 1898, went out on a point of order, which the senate sustained, 23 to 22. The Indian bill is still under consideration. Valuable Aid to Mariner, , . San Francisco, Feb. 24. An import ant aid to navigation by whioh mariners along the Pacifio ooast may readily de termine the deviation of their com passes, is likely to be afforded by the chamber of oommeroe, Shipowners' As sociation and the marine underwriters. It is proposed that at suitable points along the coast from San Diego to Puget sound, and especially about the shores of the principal , harbors, two prominent points which can be brought conveniently, within range from deep water be taken and the true bearing of the line between them, determined and made known, so that a commander may easily compare the bearing of, his com pass needle therewith. This has been carefully done by the government boards of trade and nautical bodies of Europe, but this valuable safeguard is here being seriously considered for the first tin-- Inquiry Shows That He . Was Murdered., SPANISH GUARDS TO BLAME Ahnmada'. at Last Compiled With . Consul-General ' Lee's ' Bequest Kews at the State Department. New York,1 Feb. 23. A dispatch to the World from Havana says: Dr. Ricardo Ruiz, a naturalized American citizen, arrested on suspicion by the Spaniards a week ago, was found dead in his cell in the Guanabacoa jail last Tuesday. The body bore marks of violence. The. jailer said he died by suicide. Consul-General Lee sought the privilege of viewing the body and aaked, for a full statement of the cir cumstances of his death The Span ish at first ignored the requests. Gen eral Lee telegraphed to Washington. No reply was reoeived.. On Friday General: Lee imperatively demanded that the body of Dr. Ruiz be turned over to him, and that an autopsy be made by two physicians, one of whom should be designated by General Lee. The Marquis of Ahumada, acting oap- tain-general in plaoe of General Wey ler, who is in the field, issued the nec essary order, but so long was the delay that although Guanabacoa is less than threer miles from Havana, General Lee Was not admitted to the prison until thirty hours after the death of Ruiz, and barely in time to stop the burial of the Amerioan physician in a plain pine coffin by a squad of negro Spanish servants.- - ; When the coffin was opened, it was found that Ruiz' faco had been so bat tered with blows and so cut . with -wounds as to be almost unrecognizable. , The prisoners said that piercing cries were heard from his cell on the night of his death. General Lee could reach no other conclusion than that Ruiz had. been murdered. He ordered an, autopsy to be made, the result of which will not be known until late today. He cabled the result of his investigation to the state department, but again no response came. ! '''' In the meantime, Scott, an Ameri oan, has been kept eleven days in soli tary confinement at Regla, just across the bay from Havana. General Lee has been refused permission even to see him. This is a plain violation of treaty rights. It is feared that he, too, has been slain. ;" Ko Fear of Complications. . Washington, Feb. 23. It can be stated on . the best authority that, so far at least, there is no reason for ap prehension that the case of Dr. Richard Ruiz, who was found dead iu his cell in the jail at Guanabacoa, Cuba, will lead to an international complication. The matter was brought to the at tention of the state department in the latter part of last week, through com plaint of some friends of the doctor in this eountry. The allegation was that the man had been imprisoned, beyond the period allowed by the treaty for an American citizen to be kept in jail without the lodgment of charges, and that he had been murdered by his jail ers. Consul-General Lee was immedi ately directed by cable to investigate the affair, although it" appeared from his dispatches he already had his atten tion directed to the case. The official reports of the Spanish officers are said to show that Ruiz committed suicide in jail, but this has not yet been com munioated to the department of state. Meanwhile Consul-General Lee is in vestigating the matter, and the -state department is awaiting his report. In the -absence of . this, the department offloials feel no apprehension of any complications, and all stories that war ships have been called for by General Lee and that this government is mak ing ready to take forcible measures in the case are without foundation. Dr. Ruiz was a naturalized American citizen. He studied and practiced dentistry in Philadelphia, for some time, and returned to Cuba about the beginning of the present insurrection. The cnarge upon which he was ar rested was conspiracy in having partici pated in the derailing of a train carry ing Spanish troops, as a result of which two Spanish officers were captured ; by the insurgents. ' A HORRIBLE DEATH. Track Bepatrer Killed In a Cable Con- -' ' dntt. - ' , Kansas City, Feb. 23. John Lagale, 26 years of . age, a repairer of the Brooklyn avenue Cable Railway Com pany, met a horrible death here today while engaged in Working in a cable conduit. Lagale was replacing a -broken Duller wheel and busily eneazed when surprised by the approach of. a grip car. 1 Catching Lagale s clothes, ' the grip doubled him up and hurled ' him along the narrow conduit.- Thump- T ing against the sides, his body smashed three large pulleys before he was final- J ly dislodged and wedged beneath . the ' cable. - The car passed on with the gripmah in ignorance of what had hap pened. When Lagale was removed, his head wsa cut open and his body horribly mutilated. He lived but a short time. I Authorizing the President to Call a Monetary Conference. Washington, Feb. 23. The bill re cently passed by the senate,' authoriz ing the president to appoint . commis sioners to represent the United Statea( In an international monetary confer ence to secure . the , fixity of relative value between gold and silver as money by means of a common ratio, or, in his discretion, to call such a conference, was reported to the house favorably to day by a unanimous vote bf .ten mem bers of the house committee on coinage. The same faotions which voted for the bill in the senate voted for the bill in committee. ; An amendmenet was offered by Stone, and adopted by the committee. It is as follows: "The president is authorized that, if in his judgment the purpose speci fied in the first section hereof can thui better be attained, to appoint one or more special commissioners or envoys to such of the nations of Europe as he may designate, to seek by diplomatic negotiations an international . agree ment for the purpose specified in the first section hereof; and in case of such appointments, so much of the appro priation here made as shall be neces sary shall be available for the proper expenses and compensation of such commissioners or envoys. "Section 8. That so much of an act approved Maroh 2, 1895, entitled 'An act making appropriations for the sun dry civil expenses of the government for the fiscal , year . ending June 80, 1896, and for other purposes,', as pro vided for the appointment of delegates to an international conference, and makes an appropriation for their com pensation and expenses, be, and the same is hereby repealed." f - The debate was very brief. WILL APPOINT HANNA. Governor Bnshnell Makes a Public (Statement. . - Columbus, O. , Feb. 23. Governor Bushuell tonight gave out. the follow, ing statement to the press: '- "It has been my intention to make no announcement in relation to the ac tion I would take in the matter of an appointment to fill the prospective va cancy in the Ohio representation in the United States senate until the vacancy actually existed. , But,' on account of the manifest interest of the' people, and their desire to know what will be done, I deem it best now to make the follow ing statement: : , - . . "When Senator Sherman resigns to enter the cabinet of President McKin ley, I will appoint to succeed him Hon. Marcus A. Hanna, of Cuyahoga county, to serve until his successor is chosen by the seventy-third general assembly of the state. . I trust this ' action will meet the approval of the people. . "Asa S. Bushnell." - Hanna Notified. Cleveland, Feb. 23. Chairman Hanna was at the Union Club this evening, when he was shown the dis patch from Columbus containing Gov ernor -Bushnellte annoucement of Mr. Hanna's appointment as senator to succeed Sherman. This . was the first intimation Mr. . Hanna had of the sub ject. Of oourse he was pleased at the termination of the controversy, but he Showed his pleasure only 'by a genial smiles. Asked if he would discuss the governor's action,' the chairman de clined to say anything, remarking that he could not talk about the matter for publication until he received official notice of his appointment from Gover nor Bushnell. Mr. - Hanna remained at his club during the evening and re ceived the congratulations of such of his friends as had heard of his ap pointment. I- MILITIA ON GUARD. Plot to Blow tip the New Mexico Pen. ) ... ,.- . Itentlary. , , Santa Fe, N. M., Feb. 23. Gover nor Thornton has placed the local com pany of infantry on guard at the peni tentiary on account of the' discovery of a plot to blow up the building by the friends of the four members of the Borrego gang of assassins, who were condemned to be hanged next Tuesday, but who have been granted a respite for thirty days by President Cleveland, in disregard to an appeal from the gov ernor and other authorities to let the law take its course. Another ominous feature of the trouble is the appearance of the cabalistic chalk figures "B.-802-40" on the pavements and on the doors of officials, which the knowing ones recognize as similar to the call for meetings of the secret Button gang, which appeared , frequently in 1892, just prior to the assassination of ex sheriff Frank Chavez. - - . i- The Teacher Mmoked Denver, Feo. 23. Mis. Louisa Pitt Yokum, Dolores county superintendent of schools, has refused a teacher's1 cer tificate to Professor Victor C. McGirr, prinoipal of the Rico publio school, be cause he smokes. ' ' Mrs. Yokum takes the ground that a person who smokes is disqualified to teach in the public schools because teachers in this state are required by law to: instruct ' the children against the use of tobacco. An appeal will probably be taken to the state board of education by Professor McGirr, who is a graduate of tha To ronto university, and is very popujar in Rico. ; f Gomez Succeeded in Forcing the Trocha. WHOLE ARMY WENT THROUGH A Fort, With All of Its Arms and Am munition, ( aptured The Cavalry Make a Uallant Fight. Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 22. A spe cial to the Citizen from Key West says: Private information has been received of the whereabouts of General Gomez. He has succeeded in slipping by Gen eral weyler and is now between him and Havana. ; " General Gomez gave the command for an advance, with strict orders that any man that struck a match would be court-martialed. He then advanced on the Moron trooha, in the eastern end of the island, with 5,000 oavalry and 10, 0Q0 ' infantry. He advanced ,on thfe fort at .midnight, and when he saw he was discovered by the Spanish,' who fired on him, he ordered the oavalry to charge. They swooped down upon the fort and captured it, and the whole army went through the trooha. ,- All of the Arms and ammunition of the fort was captured. The army then contin ued to maroh, and was encamped at Yeguite when the news was sent to the city by a courier. His order in taking the fart Was to use the machete only, and the cavalry made a gallant fight : 1 Weylvr In Pursuit of Cornea. " Havana, Feb. 22. If offioial report! are correct, the insurgent army under General Gomez has been divided into small corps and Gomez himself is in full retreat before the continued ad vance of . Weyler. Dispatohes from Ciego de Aviel say the insurgent commander-in-chief with 4,000 'men re crossed the military line in the prov ince of Puerto Pinoipe, extending from Jucaro toMonon, and is going eastward through Puerto Pinoipe in the direction of the capital of the privince. f General Calixto de Garcia, Gomez' seoond in oomm'and, was reported fdur days ago in the vioinity of Puerto Prin cipe, retreating towards the same point as Gomez. . Weyler arrived yesterday at Sancti Spiritus, the most important town in the eastern part of the province of Santa Clara, near the boundary of Puerto Principe, in the territory where the. insurgent headquarters were re cently located. Weyler will push for ward to Moron, Ciego de Aviel and Juraco, thus seemingly sweeping across the island with a large foroe, and driv ing the enemy before him. He expects to entrap Gomez between two wings'of the Spanish column and foroe a decisive enaggement before the rains put an end to the military operations. ; The Cu bans believe, however, that Gomez Will, aB usual, slip through the cordon before being completely developed. DROWNED IN DEEP CREEK. Palmer Wllme, a Fifteen-Tear-Old Boy, Accidentally Drowned.' Skamokawa, Wash., Feb. 22. News has reached Skamokawa of an accident that took place on Deep river, in the lower part of Wahkiakum county, last Saturday evening, by which Palmer Wilme lost his life. It seems that Wilme, who was about 15 years old,' and another boy of the same: age, Max Long, had gone to the postoffice at Deep river, to get their mail. Having se cured their mail they started for their homes in a small boat, taking with them a man, John Long. The boat was' one of those little skiffs used on the creeks. It was barely safe for one person to travel in, much less three, and in changing seats it was capsized and the occupants thrown out. None of them could swim, but John Long hung to the capsized boat, while the two boys strug gled to get aheore, which was only 100 feet away. Their cries for help brought George Garey to their assistance with a boat, and he succeeded in saving the two Longs. ! The boy' Wilme went down and his body was not recovered until Sunday, when it was found near the scene of the accident. , . , Wilme's sister was drowned near Astoria about nine years ago. 1 ALL ALONG THE LINE. Waiting- for the Opening of the Colvllle . ' Keseratlon. ' Wilbur, Wash., Feb. 22. This town and others along the south half of the Colville Indian reservation are filled with strangers, awaiting a proclama tion opening that section to mineral entries. There are a number of men on the reservation now, and they have located mineral claims, and in some cases have been prosecuting work there on. - In a letter to Spokane, one of the miners on the outside says that the gov ernment officials are interested with oompanies in locating valuable mineral claims. It is said that the Indian po lice stand in with them. . One location on the reservation bears a paper whioh has the signature as witness of Sam Vinson, deputy United States marshal at Spokane. New York and Spokane companies have the "cinch," according to the writer, on all of the best olaims, and, where their agents are seeking new discoveries, .all other miner are kept off the land. Downing, Hopkins A Company's Kerlew ' ; j ( of Trade. . Wheat advanced 8 c last week and closed near the top at 76o to 76 5-8c, after touching , 73 5-8c on Tuesday, -showing a net gain for the week of 2 to 2 6-8. The action the greater part of the time indicated that the market was'a long one and : that big holders showed little intention of selling out, as they believe the situation is as strong if not stronger than ever. , Further talk on Friday and Saturday of trouble be- - -tween Turkey and Greece added to the firmness of the situation! The news taken altogether would ordinarily bo considered ; very bullish, much more so than was represented by such an ad- . vance as was in the end established. While the foreigners appear indiffer ent to the 'comparative strength "of the wheat on this side, it is possible be cause they have so much already bought for shipment hence. -The daily clear ances of wheat and flour from Atlantic ports certainly indicate that United Kingdom buyers have control of a large ' quantity of wheat and flour in this country which they are able to take at their convenience. If that is so, i they must hold it in shape of May options, which they can change quietly as suits their convenience for the actual prop erty. Either that is the case or those who do the buying for foreign account have been for some time carefully con cealing their operations. If all that is supposed to be known as the facts about foreign requirements and sources of supply does not ; prove to, be very far from what has been and is still claimed for them, the importing nations are narrowed down to Russia, the Danubian countries and North America for sup plies until next January. The, chief dependence,' judging from present in dications, must continue to be upon the -country. It seems unavoidable, there fore, that the importing nations must continue to take up their present quota of about 3,000,000 bushels a week, and if holders of May wheat continue to hold it as firmly as they are now doing they should have the power in the end.
