With NLurken FAVOR.

NEW YORK, April ia special to
the World from Havana says: At the
palace the tidings of the coming of
General Fitzhugh Lee, as consul-gen-
eral, were received with marked favor.
Advices had already reached here from
good authority in the United States
on the subject. The general belief in
official circles is that the appointment
of SO distinguished a soldier means
more than a filling Of a consulate. 1t
has been understood here that Presi-
dent Cleveland has considered a sub
ject of commission but that he has
not publicly mentioned the matter,
the understanding being that regard
less of how the Spanish government
might view the subject it would not be
agreeable to the Spanish people.
President Cleveland has avoided the
unpleasant question in a successful
and disploma tic manner by selecting
brilliant and honorable soldier, such
as Lee is known to be, and sending
him to Havana under circums stances
that cannot offend public sensibilities

FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.
CHARLOTTESVILLE. Ind. Apri

CRAWFORDSvILLE, Ind, April A.
Mrs. John Lofland, of Charlottesville
was frightened to death last evening.
She heard a noise in the street, and
reached the door just in time to see
runaway team pass by. The driver
coat had fallen and wound about the
hub until it resembled a human form,
and the supposition is that Mrs. Lof-
hand thought it was the body of her
little grandson, who had been playing
in the road a moment before. With
a cry of distress she dropped to the
floor and never regained cons ciousness.

doubt that the money expended for
coast defense viii bring a better re-
turn in protecting our country than the
same amount of money appropriated
for ships.
Senator Squire then argued that a
glance at the historical DEVELOPMENT
of our coast defenses will show that
the question now under consideration
does not indicate a new departure. but
is a logical step in continuation of the
settled policy Of this government since
its foundation. He referred to the sea
coast defenses of European powers
and to the reports from time to time
that England is increasing her forti-
fications and heavy armament in
Canada on both Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, and in this connection, said:
so it is, we are encircled as a ma
ton with a chain of foreign fortresses
and coaling stations

within sound of British cannon at

EXPOSED AND HELPLESS
at the attack eli any foreign power that
possesses a navy.
Fabulous wealth lies at the mercy
of freebooting enemy, if such shall
at amy time elude our small and scat
tered navy.
Our foreign commerce and our
coasting trade are alike without har-
bors of refuge behind land defenses.
Our great dry docks and ship building
yards, our arms, factories and powder
mills near the coast are subject to
easy destruction and our own navy is
without protected bases for receiving
supplies and for effecting the repairs
that are constantly required. And yet
we plume ourselves on our diplomacy"
In closing the senator hoped the bill
providing for the expenditure of $780,
600, 900 for sea-coast defenses would be
adopted without serious modification.
At the close of Mr.. Squire's speech,
Mr.. Chandler Rep., n. H.) took the
floor in support of the Dupont claim
He said this was the first case in the
history of the government that a gov
ernor claimed the right to vote for a
senator.
