that Congress authorize the
printing of a special edition of 10,000 copies of the general summary
entitled Review of the World's Commerce, and of 5,000 copies of
Commercial Relations (including this summary), to enable the Department
of State to meet the demand for such information.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, _Washington, March 2, 1897_.

_To the Senate_:

I herewith transmit a report of the Secretary of State upon a resolution
of the Senate relating to the arrest, imprisonment, and death of Dr.
Ricardo Ruiz in the jail of Guanabacoa, on the island of Cuba. Agreeing
with the suggestion of the Secretary, I have not thought it compatible
with the public interest that the correspondence referred to in the
resolution should be communicated pending the public and exhaustive
investigation about to be instituted.

Though it seems to be clear that the consul-general should have
professional aid in such investigation, that matter, together with the
selection of the particular persons to act with him, properly devolves
upon my successor in office.

I transmit herewith, in reply to the resolution of the Senate of January
23, 1897, a report from the Secretary of State, accompanied by copies of
the correspondence therein requested, relating to the Nicaraguan Canal
or the Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua, since 1887.
