PRIVATE LETTER FROM GEN. LEE.
says Patriots Control the Island and
>paafaris Are Brutal.

Washington City. June --The Post to-
morrow Viii say; very interesting let
ter was received today By a relative from
Gen. Lee. II vas written on the Ieth. and
deals pretty fully with Cuban affairs. TIE
Spanish authorities the general says.
nave treated him with great courtesy, aRd
Capt Gen. WeYlsr has granted every re-
quest thus far presented. even allowing
him % visit the prison where the cap
tured Americans are confined. The Span
ish troops, he says. are fairly well drilled
but under a system o. tactics and manual
totally different from anything the gem
eraI has even seen.
As 70 the insurgents, they practically
have control OF the island. Their ennis
sarles come in and 20 out OF the towns
and cities as they Will. and he believes the
native population is in sympathy with
them
comma nders. Gen. Lee expresses himself
in the plainest terms. They do not regard
the laws OF modern war nor the usages
customary among civilized nations az all.
he says: From either quarter there IS
the same testimony concerning the bar
baTities OF the Spanish soldiers. Some ot
the evidence | have heard would be be-
yona belief did not know IL 10 be most
reliable. Violations Of women. the plum
dsring OF inoffensiys citizens. murder.
every form Of rapine. have been inflicted
on natives 0f the island. and X takes very
little indeed TO place you under suspicion"
Gen Lee doubts II peace could be made
now. short of a basis OF absolute indepen-
dence and freedom from Spanish control.
