RUIZ INQUIRY REPORTS
Sent From Havana to Washington by
a Mysterious Messenger.
LEE STICKS TO HIS THEORY.
He Still Maintains That Ruiz Died Be-
cause He Was Deprived of His Treaty
Rights and That Consequently
Spain Is Responsible.
Havana, May 31.—-The commission
conducting the inquiry into the circum-
stances surrounding the death of Dr.
Ruiz closed its labors at an early hour
yesterday.
A mysterious messenger from Wash-
ington came from Tampa on the steam-
er Mascotte in the morning, but did
. not land. .Mr. Fishback, secretary of
the commission, accompanied by Con-
sul General Lee’s son, went on board
the steamer before she sailed and held
a. brief consultation with the stranger,
and it is supposed that they delivered
to 'him the report of the commission
and other highly important dispatches
from Consul General. Lee and Mr. Cal—
houn, who was selected to investigate
Dr. Ruiz’s death, to be conveyed to the
state department at Washington.
The messenger was registered upon
the Mascotte’s inward, passenger list as
H. W. Kimball, and the same name ap-
peared on the steamer’s outward list.
Dr. Jose Congosto, the Spanish con-
sul at Philadelphia, who represented
the Spanish government in the inquiry,
is also understood to have forwarded
a long report to Senor de Lorne, the
Spanish minister at Washington, by
today’s mail.
Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Fishback and Dr.
Congosto will leave here next Thurs-
‘day for New York.
It is understood in political circles
that a long conference was held yester-
day between Mr. Calhoun and the
Marquis de Montoro, the chairman of
the Autonomist party, at which the
Cuban problem and tile political re-
forms for the island offered by Spain
were discussed in the presence of Dr.
Congosto, Who was in attendance,
which fact is much commented upon.
Of the two reports understood to
have been sent from Havana by the
commission investigating the death of
Dr. Ruiz, the one by Mr. Calhoun, who
represents the United States, and the
other by Dr. Jose Congosto, Spanish
consul at Philadelphia, who acts for
the Spanish government, the former
will, it is said, agree with the state-
ment of Consul General Lee that Dr.
Ruiz died from concussion of the brain,
the result of violence, after solitary
confinement of more than 13 days, re-
gardless of his treaty rights.
consul General Lee declined at the
last session of the commission to ques-
tion the witnesses, who were interro-
gated only by the Spanish representa—
tive.
Consul General Lee will shortly make
a report on the Ruiz case, and Mr. Cal-
houn will make a further report on oth-
er matters, such as the money ques—
tion, the state of the insurrection, the
condition of American interests and
the general suffering due to Captain
General VVeyler’s style of campaign.
Consul General Lee’s position is just
what it was in February last. He holds
that Spain is responsible, since Ruiz
died because he was deprived of his
treaty rights. The exact facts as to
how Dr. Ruiz received the blow which
killed him General Lee and Mr. Cal-
houn could not learn, because half of
the witnesses examined by the com-
mission were prisoners, and, it is be—
lieved, were afraid to testify fully. The
remaining; witnesses were the jailers,
who would not testify so as to incrimi-
nate themselves. ,
The relief of suffering Americans b
Consul General Lee goes on.d('1ily. Sev—
eral hundreds have already been as-
sisted.
The Crisis In Spain.
Madrid, May GIL—The political crisis
here continues. The ministers assert
that the premier, Senor Canovas del
Castillo, intends to suspend the sittings
of the chamber next week in order to
postpone until October the overthrow of
the ministry.
The Heraldo publishes a. pessimistic
article declaring the United States is
preparing to “intervene with perfidy in
Cuba,” asks if the Spanish nation will
swallow the pill and what will be the
consequences of the “sad denouement
of the question.”
In a. speech at the Liberal club last
evening, Senor Prendergast, the Liber—
al chief and former minister, made an
attack upon Senor Canovas del Cas-
tillo, the premier, who, he declared, was
responsible for the absence of the Lib-
eral members from the sessions of par—
liament. He also blamed the govern-
ment members for having passed the
indemnity bill in the absence of the Cp-
position.
Chinese Insoriptions In Mexico.
Hermosillo, Mexico, May 31.—Miguel
‘Rojas, a member of the Mexican Soci-
ety of Geography and Statistics, while
making archeeological researches along
the Yaqui river, southwest of here, dis-
covered a huge rock upon which Chi-
nese characters were clearly inscribed.
This discovery has amused much in-
terest in Mexican archaeological circles
and lends coldr to the old Mexican leg-
endithat the early inhabitants of Mex-
ico came from China.
The Mexican Bond Frauds.
City of Mexico, May 3L—The govern-
ment investigation into the coupon
bond frauds of the treasury depart-
ment shows that several persons were
in the conspiracy and that the total
loss will reach over $100,000. Addition-
~a1 arrests will soon be made. Clerk
Naverrete, who was recently arrested,
secured $30,000 of the amount.
Another Earthquake For Greece.
Athens, May 31.—A shock of earth-
quake was felt in various parts of
G one yesterday and was especially
so ere at Lamia. and Patras. The dis-
turbance was slight in Athens.
No New Trial For Barnes.
Boston, May 31.—The motion of Lo-

Mothers Keep :ThemfiZBut
With a Little Light There
Need Be None,
How carefully mother guards the se-
crets of her boys and girls. At night
as she carefully tucks the bed cloths
round them she chides and warns that
mother will be angry if they repeat
last night’s offense, softly saying to her—
self it’s only a habit, but I must break
them of it. This is mother’s mistake.
The children cannot help it,'and sweet,
clean dry beds can be the resting place
of every child when it is understood
that the cause is not a. habit but a weak-
ness that can be cured. Active life of
the little ones tends to weakening the
kidneys and-weak kidneys mean ina-
bility to retain the urine. This is a
condition not a habit, and should have
the same prompt attention you would
give to the marked symptoms of any
disease. One Doan’s Kidney pill, taken
twice a day and at bedtime, will
strengthen the kidneys of a child, and
in a short time there will be no cause
to scold, for the so-called habit will
disappear promptly. Here’s a grateful
mother that adds her endorsement to
our Words: ‘
Mrs. William Wood who lives at 130
Colony street, Meriden, Conn, says:
“My little boy of ten years of age has
always been troubled With weakness of
the kidneys, causing him to wet the bed.
80 many mothers punish their children
for this, but I know he could not help
it. I read about Doan’s Kidney Pills
curing incontinence of urine in adults
and I thought they might help the lit-
tle fellow. I procured a box and their
use produced a marked benefit at once.
It is very seldom he does it now and I
shall continue giving him Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills until the kidneys are sound
and strong. It is only out of gratitude
that I permit publication, but the
trouble is a very prevalent one and
most people from modesty or difiidence
do not speak of it. Physicians do not
appear to be able to cope with the
trouble and I consider it a mother’s
duty to tell others about it when she
has found a specific for this terrible an-
noyance.”
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6
boxes for $2. 50. Sent by mail on receipt
of price. Foster—Milburn Co., Bufi'alo,

no other.

mium at the tea stores, one now gets a
bicycle for buying so many times.

Early Christian Documents Unearthed In
Egypt by "trenfell and. Hunt. '
London, May 31.—A great find of an-
cient papyri in Egypt has been—made
by Grenfell and Hunt, who are work-
ing in behalf of the Egyptian explora-
tion fund. At. Behneseh many ancient
rubbish mounds yielded a rich store.
In three mounds the quantity of rolls
found is large enough‘ to warrant the
assumption that a part of the archives ‘
had been thrown there.
The papyri range from the Roman
conquest to early Arab times. Each
century is largely represented. Most
of the documents are written in Greek.
with a. sprinkling of Latin, Coptic and
Arabic. Little is yet known of' the con-
tents, but Grenfell’s hope in digging at
the site of Oxyrynchus of finding early
Christian documents is realized.
Among the papyri is a leaf from a
third century papyrus book containing
a. collection of the sayings of Christ.
Some of these sayings are not in the
gospels, and others exhwit divergen—
cies from the gospels. It is believed
that .when the papyri are examined in
detail further discoveries of Christian
records, as well as frag cuts of ‘lost
classical literature, will be found, since
in some of the mounds a. large propor-
tion of the papyri are written in uii‘
cials, which were largely employed
during the first few centuries of the
Christian era. '
One hundred and fifty rolls, in many
cases several feet long, have been“??—
tained at the Gizeh museum, and the
rest are on the way to England.
Besides the papyri a number of coins,
200 inscribed tiles, bronze and ivory or-
naments and other objects of the R0-
man and Byzantine periods have been
recovered. , ’

Constantinople, May 31.—The embas-
sadors of the powers, in their reply to
the porte’s note of May 28, saying the
Turkish government consents to nego-

manders first sign an armistice and
that so soon as this is done the Turkish
government will negotiate the peace
conditions with the embassad'ors the
treaty to be signed by the Turkish and
Greek plenipotentiaries in Thessaly, an—

conclusion of a military armistice and
