M pr,sox ron A SCARE.


The bottom has dropped out Of the
latest Cuban sensation, so far as that
bottom was constructed OF any report
from Consul-Gcneral Lee TO the govern
ment detailing the military and pohucal
situation on the island. A special to the
New York Herald from Habana says that
General Lee has made a diplomatic de-
nial of the dispatches printed In the New
York and Washington papers regarding
the nature Of the report that he has Tor
warded. The report he sent on Saturday
he says, was simply on routine matters
his report on the Cuban military ana po-
lItical situation being as yet Incomplete
This special from Habana, ana aaNlces
from washington that the state Depart
,nent does not expect any special mes
sage from General Lee, and that any re-
mort from him would come in the dlpio-
matte mailbag, has caused the Herald
10 change its theory as to the significance
of the Presidents fshing-trip. Our
New York contemporary now thinks that
Mir. Cleveland has gone into meditation
on the deep over the Venezuelan ques-
ton. and its bearing upon the conclusion
NJ a general arbitration treaty between
the United States and Great Britain.
The Washington Post Of yesterday
prints extracts from a purported private
letter from General Lee to relative IN
that city. I'm which the barbarity of the
snanfsh commanders in Cuba is freely
cv,,tr,sed. and the statement occurs: "The
,lunder of inoffensive citizens, murder
every form Of rapine, is the inVarying
story OF prisoners and natives OF the
island. who happen to be under suspicion
and II takes very little, indeed here TO
Mace YOU under suspicion" special
from Fredericksburg to the Dispatch how
ever. says that Mr.. Dan. Lee. brother
of General Lee. utterly discredits the re-
800 that the General has written any
such letter
The officials OF the State Department
also discredlt the publication regarding
the Lee private letter, and refuse TO be
lieve that Consul-General Lee, charged
as he is with semi-dplomatic duties,
could have discussed such important mat
ters through the medium Of private cor
respondence. The tenor of the letter Is
in harmony with the tone adopted by
Washington correspondents engaged In
exciting sympathy for the Cuban cause
and the Department will treat the publ
cation as an invention until Official infor-
nation that he wrote It is received from
General Lee.
Nevertheless, the Cuban sensation lasted
long enough to serve the Wall-street
bears good turn, the argument that the
administration would probably, on the
strength of Consul-General Lees imagi-
nary report. intervene in Cuba. being
used by them for all it was worth. And
now that that straw cannot be threshed
10 any further purpose at present, we
may expect the Venezuelan issue to take
its place. especially since, according to
the latest news from Venezuela, the Vene-
zuelaus seem resolved to have trouble
with Great Britain, anyhow.

of the bitterness Of feeling when exists
I'm some sections between the Dehloeia'S

case in the Southern states. where .no

TO get a southern Populist to vote Tor

will be much easier to get Democrats 10

Mr. Whitney said that in the West
where the Democrats have been used "
fusing on local issues TO defeat the he-
uublicans. the question does not preseht
so many difficult points for adjustment,
but in the South, he believes, the suil
between the Democracy ana the fopu-

PhilIida on Her Wheel

From TRUTH
When / was but lad,
Long ago,
This simple lore l had,
Don't you know.
That every maiden fair
Was an angel unware,
And / wondered when ana Whete
The wings would grow.
But wiser now am l.
A good deal,
Though I've sometimes seen them ny,
Th 1St are tsg something just between
Man and angel in their mien
Since my Phillida I've seen
on her wheel.
She does rot show a sign
OF wing,
But her figure Is divine,
And the fling
OF her abbreviated gown.
As she fickers through the town.
Might buy the throne and crown
OF kingl
No halo OF a saint
Does she wear,
Such as Lippo loved to paint.
But her hair
As when all heaven streams
Through the landscape OF my dreams
In such glory floats and CLEANS
on the air!
But not all for heaven She
Not too goOdi
Yet she's good enough for me
In any mood
And II her dashing wheel
Took her even TO the dell
Thither, too. I'd gently steal

9 The New York Herald of yesterday con-
tains an interview with Collector William
Ryan, Of this city. Mr.. Ryan has long
enjoyed influential relations with the
Cleveland Administration. and Is also an
intimate friend OF Consul-General FitG.
Lee. And. though his stay in Cuba was
very short, the Herald says his oppor-
tunities for acquiring information We're
exceptionally good. He declares that the
Cubans Will never be satisfied until the
island is annexed TO the United States.
AIR. Ryan is supposed to be the special
messenger OF General Lee to the Presi-
dent, to bring important dispatches; but
we cannot see how this can be, as Mr.
Ryan took not the short route. but the
long route. 10 Washington. and Is at
present languishlng In quarantine in
New York. having failed TO comply with
some more or less important requisites
before leaving Habana. However we
guess he has been released by this time.
