TROUBLE Sherman Says U.S.Should Declare War on Spain.Attempt Made to Cover Up the Murder, Which Was a Most Foul Affair, New York, Feb.22.\u2014A despatch to the World from Havana, says: Dr.Ricardo Ruiz, a naturalized: American citizen, arrested ou suspicion by the Spanish a week ago, was found dead im his cell in the (Guanabacoa jaïl last Thursday.The body bore marks of violence.The jailer Fonde- viela said that he died by suicide.Consul-General Lee sought the privileze of viewing the body and asked for a full statement of the circumstances of his death.The Spanish at first ignored both requests.General Lee telegraphed to Washington.No reply was received.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 de- gignated by General Lee.The Marquis of Ahumada, acting Cap- tain-General in place of General Weyler, who is in the ficld, issued the necessary orders, but so long was the delay that, although Guanabacoa is less than three miles from llavana, General Lee was not admjtted to the prison there until ¥riday afternoon, 30 hours after Dr.Ruiz\u2019s death, «end barely in time to stop the burial of \u2018the American physician in a plain pine eoffin by a squad of nègro Spanish servants.When the coffin was opened it was found that Dr.Ruiz's face had been so battered with blows and so cut with svounds as to be almost unrecognizable.The other 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 Dr.Ruiz had been murdered.He immediately ordered an autopsy to be made, the veeult of which will not be knowa until late to-day.Buffalo, Feb.22.\u2014The Record has this special from Washington : Senator Sherman commenting on the death of Dr.Ricardo Ruiz, said: \u201cThe only way to put an end to the atrocities is to declare war on Spain.I know not what course Becretary Oiney may pursue, but this is no longer a question of belligerency, but one of the foul murder of an American citizen, held ag a suspect.We have al ready recognized Cuba's belligerency by an act of Congress passed last session, but we have not recognized independence.We have a right to interfere if either Spain or (\u2018uba fails to carry out civilized war- tare, though the death of Ruiz is quite another matter.\u201cI suppose Secretary Olney having requested a full investigation that it the investigation shows that an American has been murdered Spain will be asked to make reparation.\u201cIf she refuses to do wo the United States ought to force her by declaring ware cannot stand idly hy and permit the Bpaniards to butcher Americans as they please.We are bound to protect our citizens and I think Americans in Cuba will be protected even if wet have to resort tn armes.\u201d Washington, Feb.22 \u2014Senator Sherman was seen this morning.He denies having given an interview to the Buffalo

lasted, but sd they had agreed with Dr.Stockton, the leader of the Opposition to cease hostilities.In speaking as stronzly as he did the other, however, Hon, Henry R.Ene merson, Inmissioner of Public

at Moscow His Life.London, Feb.22.\u2014A despatch to the Daily Mail from Paris says that Dr.Stein- itz is dead at Moscow.It is only about ten days since Dr.Steinitz was found to be suffering from a mental disorder and was placed in the Morosoff private hospital at Moscow.Wiliam Steinitz was born at Prague, Bohemia, on May 14, 1836.ITe early attained fame as a chess player.By his defeat of the late Professor Anderson, in 1866, he won the match championship of the world.Among the tournaments in which he has taken part were held in Dublin, in 1865, Paris 1867, Dundee, 1867, Baden, 1870; London, 1872-3; Vienna, 1873, 1882 and St.Petersburg last year.Last month at Moscow Steinitz was defeated by Lasker, who won the championship, that drove him insane, HERR STEINITZ.The nolice of the death of this veteran chess player will cause deep regret in this city where he was so well-known.He has been here upon several occasions, once upon, the invitation of the Montreal Chess Club, and two %ears ago, to play the finish of his match with Lasker for the championship of the world.During his stay here Come 3 weeks) he made many bosom friends.He was put up at the Cosmopolitan Club, the members of which vied with each other in making things pleasant for the veteran, and he frequently admitted that the hospitality extended him was very great and highly appreciated.In appearance Mr.Steinitz was short, stout and of a ruddy ecom- lexion.From the result of an accident e walked lame and\u2019 had to use a cane.He was a clever conversationalist, genial to his friends, and very pleasant company.Naturally he loved to talk of chess and chess matters, and felt that his opin- lon was worthy of attention.Like most professionals he did not care much for his opponents, and while editing hise hess column in the English press, did not spare them, but in his satirical vein cut them right and left, This naturally produced a rejoinder so that for a time almost all the chess columns of English papers were full, not of chess news but of recrimins- tions.From information received throuse foreign papers it would seem that ever since he went to Moscow he had not felt in his usual health, and there is no doubt that the climatic inHuences, combined with his disastrous defeat by Lasker tended to increase his illness and hasten his death.; His record is a marvellous one.For over 28 vears he held the proud title of champion of the chess players of the world and was well known as a clever writer and analyst.His death, so soon after his recent defeat will cast a gloom over the world as his fame 4s champion was universal.© Tis death and the rccent death of Dr.Pollock removes two well-known names from the chess master\u2019s roll, and it will be ditheult to replace either of them.TORONTO PROTESTS, City Council Does Not Want Power Given the Telephone Company to Increase Rates.Toronto.Feb.22.\u2014(Special)\u2014At the meeting of the City Council today a resolution will

enacted since 1893 the present Government has authorized the payment af $963,800 for railways which had previously been subsidized and it has, by giving extension of time to certain companies,

COLONIZATION.In 1890-91 there were 208,389 acres of the Provincial Crown lands taken up for settlement.In 1895-96 only 196,361 acres were taken up in the same manner.Decrease under the Taillon-Beaubien \u2014PFlynn Administration, 10,038 acres.Yet the present Government appeals to the public upon the fact that it has spent much money for colonisation.LIVES LOST IN CRETE Greeks and Turks Both Suffered Severely.INSURGENTS WERE COOL.\u2014 But Poor Judgment Lead to Rather Disastrous Results.Several Persons Were Killed by the Shells From the Fleets of the Powers.London, Feb.22.\u2014A despatch to the Times gives further details of the recent fighting in Crete.and the bombardment of that town.King George, the despatch says, ordered Colonel Vassos to offer safe conduct to Canea for all Turkish garrisons besieged by Christians.Colonel Vassos made this offer to the Voukolies garrison.The troops at the garrison refused to leave without arms, and tIE fortification therefore was bombarded.But for the large supplies of provisions which the Powers allowed to be landed for the Greeks, and the insurgents at Plata« nia and Akrotiri, their position would have been desperate.They can now afford to ignore the threats of the foreign admirals to stop further supplies if hostilties are resumed.A despatch to the Chronicle from Athens says :\u2014 \u201cThe night that Fort Voukolies fell Colonel Vassos learned that the Turkish garrison from Canea was advancing to succor the defeated Turks.He despatched a body of insurgents to meet them, and speedily followed himself with his troops.In the plain off Livadia, fifteen hundred Turks and 2,500 Turkish Cretans with three guns engaged in battle, The Cretan insurgents and Greek troops deployed, and after ninety minutes\u2019 fighting swept the plain, fore- ing the Turks to take refuge in Canea.Colonel Yassos burned the fortified barracks at Livalia and the Aghia block: house.The Greeks lost four sub-lieuten- ants killed and twenty officers and men wounded.The Turkish losses the un- wounded.The Turkish losses are wun- known, In obedience to the order of the King of Greece Colonel Vassos recalled the troops to Platonia.\u201d Describing the fighting at Fort Vouke- Lies, the Canea correspondent of the Daily News says : The Cretans suffered heavily by their own fault.They disregarded an order to withold musketry fire until the work of the artillery had been completed, They wasted 50,000 cartridges and lost thirty men, maintaining a furious and feolish tire, advancing to within 100 yards of the redoubis, while the Turks fired splendidly, wasting few bullets.\u201cThe Cretans were obliged to send to Platania for more ammunition, which arrived on l'hursday night With four guns.\u2018The Cretans at this time surrounding the tort disobeyed orders and dispersed in search of food, the Turks profiting by the position evacuated by the Cretans.\u201cOn Friday morning when the guns had n placed in position any they were about to resume bombarding, the troops were surprised to sce the Cretans plant a flag upon the deserted tort.Thir- ty-two dead Turks were found inside the fortifications, which were blown up by dynamite.The Greek troops were all young men.Never before had they been under fire and they displayed cooinres, courage and enthusiasm.The Greeks took ten Turkish soldiers prisoners.\u201d New: York, Feb.22.\u2014A cable to the Herald from Canea says: The Grock troops, after summoning the Turkish garrison in the fort of Vukolies and Agie to surrender, bombarded the places.Jour (ireck officers, eighteen men and a hundred Cretans were killed.The Turks suffered serious loss.Greek merchant steamer was captured at 2 o'clock this morning and towed into a harbor here.The German man-of-war Kaiserin Augusta has av- rived and Janded thirty men who have now joined in the occupation of the town.Two Russian torpedo boats are at anchor in the harbor.Canea, Island of Crete, Feb.29 \u2014Tater reporta are to the effect that the English men-of-war opened the bombardment.The others followed.The Kaiserin Au- gnsta fired melinite shells.The commander of the Greek man-of-war, Hrdra, cleared for action in case the necessity should arise.Some shells fell in the town of Canea, raicing clouds of dust.It is rumored that several peraons were killed an-l wounded.When the firing ceased the Greek flag was still flying over the insurgent camp.; London, Feb.22.\u2014The Parliamentary Fecretarv for the Poreign Office.Mr.George N.Curzon, answering n question in the House of Commons to-day, said that the presence of Greek troops on the island of Crete so far appeared to have added to the disorder.The Powers, he continued, did not intend to delegate to the Grock forces the duty of keeping order in the interior of the Island.GERMANY FOR PEACE.Berlin, Feb.22.\u2014In the course of the debate in the Reichstag to-day on the Foreign Office estimates, the Minister for For- eizn Affairs.Baran Marschall Von Bieber- stein, replying to a question on the situa- ticn in Crete, stated that the German warship Kaiserin Augusta arrived off Canea vesterday forenoon.landed fifty marines to take part in the joint foreign occuna- tion of that place and went into acuon in_the afternoon.Baron Marschall then referred to the Fombardment.but said he was compelled to refrain from making detailed statement on the subject at present.He added that he could only sav that it was in the line of German policy clearlv marked out.namely, resolute intervention in favor of the maintenance of peace, adding :\u2014 \u2018 \u201cGermany has no individual interests of any kind to serve in the East.and we can therefore more vigorously and unreserved-

Woods.Emsdale, Ont, Feb.22\u2014On Saturday evening word was received here of the murder of J.P.Shaw, a prominent citizen of this place, «bout sixteen miles east of here.Shaw had trouble with a man named Fry over some tanbark, and was shot dead by hini at Ravensworth, a flag station on the O.A.& P.5.Railway, where the tanbark was being loaded.Fry has, so far, resisted all attempts at acrest and maintains that he will uot be taken alive.Coroner Dr.Barber 1s pro- cceding to the scene of the tragedy.Lhe wildest excitement prevalls in this village, Nhat was shot once in the head and twice in the body, a revolver Leing used.That the crime was premeditated is seen from the fact that on the evening previous te the tragedy, when a dispute avose between deceased and James Fry, the lai- ter significantly remarked that ue would settle it withdut resorting to the law.Ou the following mvning, February 20, he proceeded to the woods, where Mr.~haw was at work, and found him alone cutting roads to the puip-wood piles, No one was present to see the first shot fired, but apparently deceased was lacing his murderer and received the tivst shou from a thirty-bwo calibre revolver in the breast.He turned To escape, when he was again shot in the side.Still keeping his feet he made a dash to get behind a tree, and catching hold of it was carried on by the force ot the effort Le had put forth, and, swinging completely around it, was shot by his ruthless assassin in the face, causing instant death.Four of Al».Shaw's mien, hearing the shooting arrived on the scene in time to see him lL The murderer, having completed his work, coolly walked away, and no one knowing the desperate character of the man cared to interfere with him.He remarked to some whom he met that he had settled with Shaw and the pulp-wood.throwing the empty shells out of his revolver as he went along.He reloaded it aud\" betook himself to his house, where he has so far defied all attempts at arrest.Serious trouble is anticipated over his capture, as he is known to be a desperate character, having gone through the American civil war.He is a crack shot and places no value on human life.He has spent about seventeen years hunting and trapping in the woods east of |, '* and knows about every acre of the forest wilderness hetween here and the Ottawa River.Should he once escape into the woods and his trail become covered by snow, he could easily elude pursuit.Occasionally he used to come into Emsdale armed with revolvers.The victim of the murder was left lying where he had fallen uutil the arrival of the coroner, Er.Barber of this place, when his body was brought to town.Deceased is well-known in the vicinity and he and his wife were much respected.The deceased came to Emsdale about seven years ago and for some time was a successtul mérchant.te was barely in the prime of life.being about 36 years of age.He carried life insurance to the amount of £3,000.$1,000 in the I.O.F., and $2,000 in the K.QO.T.M.He leaves a wife and three small children to mourn his loss.The news was last night sent to his brother, II.P.Shaw, manager of the Trans-Atlantic Transportation Company, Vancouver, and Duncan Shaw.of Sunni- dale township in the vicinity of Stayner.The coroner's inquest was commenced Jate last night, but was adjourned until {this evening at 7 o'clock, sufficient evidence heing taken to warrant the removal of the body.AN UNGRATEFUL LAD.A young boy named John McGuire was brought before Magistrate Lafontaine on Saturday on a charge of having robbed hia henefactor, It is believed that he is running away from college in Ottawa, He was coming to Montreal from that city last Thursday evening on the train and succeeded in making the acquaintance of Mr.P.Mullin.of 1822 St.Catherine street, to whom he told a long story, winding up by stating that he did not know where to go to spend the night when he got here.Mr.Mullin kindly took the lad to his own home, and made him comfortable, but when he arose in the morning it was discovered that the voung scamp had cleared out and along with him a purse containing some money and valuable papers had disappeared.Complaint was immediately made to the an- thorities and Acting-Detectives Riopel and Cote succeeded in locating the hoy in a restaurant.He pleaded guilty this morning and was remanded.The college authorities in Ottawa and also his parents, who are supposed to be living in Worcester, Mase., will be communicated with.RETURNED FECM BRAZIL.Another batch of the deluded Canadians who went to Brazil last summer,

DIAMOND JUBILEE, Several Colonies Will Represented by Troops.be PRESIDENT KRUGER'S CLAIM Cecil Rhodes Lets the Cat Out of the Bag.Was the Silent Partner and Alone Responsible for Jameson's Transvaal Raid.London, Feb, :0.-Most of the colonies have already accepted the invitation of tle Secretary of State for the Colonies Mr.Joseph Chamberlain, to send representations of troops to the Queen's Diamond .Jubilee celebrations, and they are expected to greatly enhance the attraction of the | processions.Canada, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, | New Zealand, the Cape of Good Hope, : Natal, Trinidad and Cyprus are sending cavalry, the troopers to be sent by the latter being niounted Zaptichs.Some infantry and artillery are coming from elsewhere, as far distant as the Gold Coast, Georgetown and Heng Kong.A general oflicer will be appointed to command the whole force.The visitors will be housed in the military barracks of the home districts.PRESIDENT KRUGER'S CLAIM.The sensation of the week in Parliament was not caused by the Cretan question, but by the dramatic manner in which Mr, Chamberlain aunounced that a telegram had been received from the British agent at Pretoria saying that President Kruger had filed a bill of indemnity against the British Government, which is to pay it or \u201ccause it t&o be paid\u201d as a result of the Jameson raid.Mr, Chamberlain read the items as if they were a tradesman\u2019s bill, £677,938 38 3d.being asked for as a \u201cmaterial charge,\u201d and £1,000,000 for \u201cmoral and intellectual damage,\u201d not including \u201clegitimate private claims which may be advanced,\u201d emphasizing the shillings and pence.In every word of his short reply he managed to express every possible phase of scorn, defiance and contempt.This unmistakable evidence that Mr.Chamberlain las finally put his foot down is hailed with general delight.A new departure in the dramatic duel between the Secretary of State for the Colonies and President Kruger has becn reached, and it is likely that the Government will present a counter-claim for the Boer raid into British Territory in 1886 which, according to Parliamentary returns, cost Great Britain over £1,000,000.THE TRANSVAAL TROUBLE.At yesterday's (Friday's) session of the Parliamentary Committee which is enquiring into the Transvaal Raid, the absence of two ladies who were present the tirst day excited considerable comment.Their absence, it now develops, was due to the initiative of Mr.Joseph Chamberlain, who, at a private meeling nf the Committee, insisted, that in view of the exclusion of the general public the presence of these two ladies, who were identified prominently with the cause of Colonel Cecil Rhodes, would be compromising to the committee's proceeding and it was resolved to restrict the attendance to reporters, members of the House of Lords, of the Mouse of Commons and private sceretaries.DR.NANSEN\u2019S SUCCESS.Dr.Nansen\u2019s book which the Constables published on Monday in two sumptuous volumes, is the literary sensation of the week and a great success.It is being boomed in all the book stores and libraries and the papers, generally, are lavish in their praise of the work.The explorer himself is continuing his triumphal progress in Scotland.where he is being eted on all sides.Cambridge University is to confer a degree upon Dr.Nansen.MR.BAYARD 1S POPULAR.The United States Ambassador, Mr.Thomas #.Bayard, up to the preseut has received no intimation of the date the ueen will receive him at Windsor.1 the meanwhile he is receiving, daily.scores of invitations to public and private fune- tions which he is unable to answer until the Windsor date is fixed.The University of Cambridge will confer the degree of L.L.D.upon Mr.Bayard before the latter leaves England.It 1s reported that Mr.J.R.| Carter, second secretary of the United: States Legation, will be made Charge D\u2019 Affaires here, as Mr.Bayard starts tor Italy on March 4.RHODES WAS RESPONSIBLE.Cecil Rhodes has been making a clean breast of it.Ilis sensational admissions upder the six hours of relentless cross- examination by Sir Wililam Harcourt on Tuesday and Iriday may be summarized : thus: He financed the Johannesburg ris ing, paying all that was wanted, asking no, questions, seeking no details and keeping ; the London directors of the Chartered Company completely in the dark.He krew that the De Beas Company, of which he was chairman, was &muggling arms into the Transvaal.He placed Jameson's troops on the Transvaal barder, leading the Queens High Commis- sioncr to believe that thev were merely intended to protect the railway and for economy.thouzh he informed Sir Graham Bower, a permanent Imperial official in South Africa, that the force was there with a view to assist a rising in the Transvaal.\u201cI am.\u201d he said.\u201cthe last link in the chain.T can't sav 1 was cognizant of all otber link and sub-links, but everything came from me and the blame must rest on me.\u201d Whether Mr.Rhodes actually consented to Jameson's raid at the particular moment is not yet clear, though Harris, Cecil Rhodes\u2019 associate, certainly cabled to Jameson not to start until 8 o'clock on the night of the raid, and to \u2018\u201c\u2018secure telegraph office silence,\u201d The alleged urgent appeal to Jameson {rom Johanneshurg, declaring that the women and children were in peril, dated December 28.which was cabled ta the London Times as a | to go upon than rumor and suspicion re- justification of the raid, was obtained by Jameson in Johannesburg on November 20.The Johannesburg alles of Mr.Rhode carnestiy opposcd the raid at the moment it was made.\u201cChairman,\u201d whose support Mr.Rhodes pledged to Johannesburg, was Sir Hercules Robinson, the British High Commisisoner, though the latier merely concurred when Mr.Rhodes advised that he should go to Johannesburg to

is Changed.It has just dawned upon those who are interested that unless something is done very soon the famous fox hunts of the Montreal Hunt Club are at an end for a long time to come.During the last session of the local Legislature the law relating to fur-bearing animals was somewhat changed, one of the changes being the addition of the fox to the list, which it is forbidden to kill The close season for these animals is from May 1 to November 1, and this, of course, includes the very months that the Hunt Club enjoys its cross country runs An effort will be made to have an order- in-Council passed by which the killing of the fox will be made legal.Members of the hunt point out that the fox 18 not game in the ordinary sense of the word, but rather ts it a vermin.Much interest is being manifested as to the outcome où the difficulty.LOUNT IS ACTIVE.Watching the Interests of Canadian Policy Holders in the Mass.Benefit Co.Ottawa, Feb.22.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Mr.W.Lount, M.P., is in communication with the Finance Department in th2 interest of many of the policy-holders in the Massachusetts Benefit Life Association Company, which has put up its assessment in Canada about one hundred per cent.In 1892 the Massachusetts Banent Association took over the business of the Canada Mutual, and it is claimed that the object of the increased assessment is to squeeze ° out many of the old policy-holders of the latter.The statement of the Association however, is that the increuse is necessitated by the condition of its financial affairs.Mr.Lount has suggested that the Government authorize Ar.W, Fitzgerald.Superintendent.of Insurance, to proceed to Boston, to make an investigation of the Association's books to ascertain whether or not this is a valid excuse for the increase.Should the inspector ba refused access to the books, Mr.lount advises that the charter of the Association be revoked and its securities forfeited to settle with the Canadian policy-holders.GLOBH ON FITZPATRICK.Toronto, Feb.22.\u2014(Special).\u2014Referring | to Mr.Fitzpatrick\u2019's visit to Rome, the Cilobe states he has no authority to represent the Government, that
