WASHINGTON, December 25.-When Ar.
chibald Forbes was in the city he became
the recipient Of much attention from mill.
tary men. The following anecdotes Of
General Grant were told to him by men
whose positions entitle them TO credence
Speaking OF General Grants svowed pre-
ference 10 peace and civil affairs, as we'll
as his comprehensive action at the close
OF the civil war, it was told that
before the French evacuation OF Mexico
and Immediately after the Confederate
surrendsrs, when Sheridan was concen.
trating troops on the Rio Grande, that
Grant, believing war with the French
occupants OF Mexico within the near pos.
sibilities, put himself into communication
with Robert E. Lee, and offered him q
command in the expeditionary force. Lee
was to raise his own corps, to be compos.
ed OF the ex.Confederate troops who
should volunteer. Lee accepted the offer
upon the ground that such a'war would be
the best method OF re cemeuuhg the bro
ken bands OF union. The other statement
was even stronger.
After Grant became President our rela.
tions with Spain were greatly disturbed
owing TO the Cuban insurrection. At the
height Of these troubles, when war seemed
almost inevitable. the President sent for
General Meade and told him that war was
most probable. He declared in that
event, as Spain had concentrated its fleet
at Cuba, expecting an attack in that quar-.
ter, he should organize an eIpeditionary
corps OF 60,0O0 men, place them
under Phil Sheridan and ship them
on a feet OF steam transports to
sail for Corunna. Spain, land there and
march direct for Madrid, occupy the
Spanish capital and dictate terms OF peace
therein. A feint was to be made against
Cuba in order TO draw of attention.
Grants reason for calling on Meade was
to offer him the position Of chief OF stat
under Sheridan. which Meade, after some
delay, accepted. Mr.. Forbes, comment
ing on this from military point Of view,
declared 1t entirely practicable, Corunns
being once successfully reached.
