A CUBAN SENSATION.
Consul General Lee Makes a Report
Which May Be the Basis of
Armed Interference.

New York, June PA dispatch to the
eral Lee forwarded to President Cleve-
land today Saturday dispatches of the
most important nature. They should
reach the president and Secretary Olney
early in the coming week. The dis
patches contain the full report of he
consul general upon the Cuban situation
and are of extremely sensational charac-
ter. In the dispatch there are two
quite distinct documents, the enc wholly
confidential and for the personal informa-
ton of President Cleveland; the other a
clear frank exposition of the situation
in the island at the present time. With
the greatest candor the representative
of the United States in Havana describes
the existing condition of affairs in Cuba.
The Herald correspondent says:
Il have seen Consul General Lee, and,
Notwithstanding his extreme reticence,
and his refusal to reply to questions in
relation to his confidential report to Presi-
dent Cleveland l am justified in draw
ing the conclusion that his document is
of tremendous Importance to the United
States and to Spain. SO strong is it.
in fact, that its contents may, it is limited,
be made the basis of armed interference
in Cuban affairs on the part of the adj
ministration at Washington Immediately.
The report intended as information par
ticularly designed for the department of
state, and which will be presented to
Secretary Olney, is, l am informed, and
as have already indicated, complete
and impartial review of the field.
Consul General Lee takes the ground,
| understand, that the only possible sou-
| ton of the dreadful problem existing in
the island is autonomy, on Canadian
lines. While the Spanish flag flies in
| the island of Cuba no other -emcdy can
| be found to stay the rebellion or end
the bloodshed that are at present making
II Golgotha of one of the fairest portions
of the earth's surface"
Even this remedy, the consul general
| informs President Cleveland and Secre
tary Olney, at this late day may be in.
| effcctual. At one time in the course of
| the rebellion the Cuban revolutionists
might, perhaps, have welcomed such au.
| tonomy and would have won friends in
party of peculiar responsibility in the
| island.
But at present this party has lost its
hold in a great degree and as for the
! insurgents and their friends, their watch
/ words are now unconditional surrender
on the part of Spain and free republic
| in Cuba.
Consul General Lee finds that the Span
ish government has in many instances
been entirely impotent in its efforts tc
protect either the lives of foreigners res
ident in the island, or their property
This has been, perhaps, unavoidable, the
Spanish troops having been fully occu
pied in the field in resisting the persisten
raids and strategic maneuvres of the in
surgents.
| THE consul general hints finally thai
| unless this danger to foreign interests
can be avoided the recognition of the
| belligerency of the Cuban revolutionists
will soon become advisable"

NICKNAMEs OF THE STATES.


State nicknames in this country have
begun to lose their aptness. New
Hampshire's name, the granite state"
fits almost as well some other mountain
states, and she never really deserved to
be called the Switzerland of America,
since her mountains are but hills COM
pared with the mountains of Switzerland.
Several of the Rocky mountain safes
more nearly deserve this title. Colorado,
for example, has forty-one mountains
more than 1900 feet high, and, in all,
139 mountains more than 1880 feet
high. Colorado's own name of the cen
tennial state is one that no other can
ever dispute with her. though it looks as
if Colorado might dispute the name
golden" with California.
Names forests are disappearing SO
rapidly that some of the northwestern
states may soon have II better title to
the name pine tree state" There are
more famous bays than that of Massa-
chusetts. and certainly Chesapeake bay,
if considered only as body of water,
has more distinction than Massachusetts,
and, historically, the Chesapeake is quite
as famous, so that the name "bay state"
might be given to Maryland
There are quite as characteristic green
mountains elsewhere in the United
States as those that gave Vermont her
French name. The "empirc state" state
seems inappropriate to any democratic
community, but it is appropriate to New
York if to any state of the Union, and it
is likely to be long while before even
Texas can lay claim to the title. The
name that Texas takes pride in, ''the lone
star state" is certainly hers by right, as
she is the only state TO have come to be
an Independent republic, totally uncon-
federated with any other state. Penn
sylvania is no longer the keystone of the
Unions arch, just as it is no longer po-
litically true that as Pennsylvania goes
so goes the Union. If Delaware ever de-
served her name of the diamond state"
she certainly can not claim it against
Rhode Island, since the latter is not only
much smaller, but, as well, much richer.
No state disputes Virginia's picture
esque name, the "old diamond" though
very few people realize that it dates back
to time when our Atlantic coast knew
only two ill-defined political divisions
New England and Virginia. Ohio's
Buckeyes are no longer distinguishing
feature of her rapidly disappearing wood
lands. Indiana is being civilized out Of
her hoosierdom, and the wolverine must
be pretty scarce in the state to which the
beast has given nickname.

CRETAN REVOLUTION.

New York, June 22.-The ADVERTISER
today will say:
Information received in this city today
direct from the scene of the Cretan revor
luton against Turkey by Solovan Bias
to- editor of the Greek newspaper At
lantis, shows that the Turkish troops are
resorting to atrocities which equal in
point of bloodincss their terrible barbara
ties in the Armenian war, According to
the advices the Cretan revolutionists,
who now number about 1000 men, all
we'll armed, are daily gaining strength
and with the aid they are receiving from.
Greece the probabilities are that the Gre
tans will be successful in gaining indie
pendence. The last massacre occurred
on May %, in Canea, the principal city
of Crete. In this fanatical crusade
against Christianity an attache of the
Russian consulate and another of the
Greek consulate were murdered by the
Turks, although they were in no way
connected with the war.
