WRITES TO A FRIEND AND TELLS OF THE SPANISH METHOD OF WAR;
 FARE IN CUBA.
W omen Violated, Innocent Citizens Plum dered and Murders In Every Form
 Committed.
 @szsssssssss.ss

Washington. June 24-The Post to- morrow will say: A very interesting letter was received today by a rela- tive from Gen. Lee. It was written on the l2th and deals pretty freely with Cuban affairs. The Spanish authorities. the General says, have treated him with great courtesy and Gaptain-General Weyler has granted every request thus far preferred, even in allowing him to visit the prison where the captured Americans are confined.
 Of the Spanish troops. he says they are fairly well drilled, but under a system of tactics and manual totally different from anything he had ever seen. As to the insurgents they pra- ctically have control of the island. Their emissaries come in and go out of the towns and cities as they will, and he believes the entire native pop nlation is in sympathy with them.
 As to the inhumanity of the Span ish commanders, Gen. Lee, expresses himself in the plainest terms
 They do not regard the laws of modern war nor the usages custo- mary among civilized nations," he says: Prom every quarter there is the same testimony concerning the barbarities of the Spanish soldiers. Some of the evidence I have heard would be beyond belief did l not know it to be most reliable. Violations of women, the plundering of inof- fensiye citizens, murder-every form of rapine, is the varying story of the prisoners and natives of he island who happen to be under suspicion and it takes very little indeed, here to place you under suspicion.''
 Gen. Lee doubts if peace could be made now short of a basis of ab- solute independence and freedom from Spanish control.

EK KIl6 kll616me Knox Block Had a
 arrow Escape This ss l'a Morning.

r.: Ralph Robinson's undertaking stabllshapent Is in the Knox block, on West Barraque street.
 Mr Robinson has a colored porter in his employ who sleeps o'nights. in his undertaking establishment.
 Now, the "eullud gemmen' afore- said don't like "skeeters," of which there is reported to be quite an abundance in the house aforesaid. So the colored porter built up a fire i'll the middle of the house just to smoke out the skeeters. He claims to have started the fire in a tin vessel, but the facts do not bear him out ill the statement.
 This morning when Mir. Pat Knox came down town and opened up-the store of k. M Knox Co, at about G clock, the house was filled with smoke Somewhat alarmed he pro- eeeded to investigate, but could find no traces of fire in the building. Then he went next door, aroused the DOT ter in Robinson's undertaking estab- lishment, and there i'll the center of the room was fire burning brightly. A hole in the floor about three feet in circumference had already been burned. A few buckets of water ex- tinguished the flames and the fear was over.
 It was q narrow escape, and had the fire not been discovered at the time it was, a disastrous confiagra- tion might have been the result.

 at Il O'Clock u


 SARATOGA, N. Y, June 24. Tue Democratic State conpantion to select delegates at-large to the National convention was rapped to order at II o'clock this morning. Convention Hall, spacious though it is, proved hardly adequate for the accommodation of the large number of delegates and immense throng of on-lookers, but, notwithstanding the approximately large attend anee, the convention is the tamest affair the Democracy of the Empire State has experienced for number of years. Party enthusiasm IS not lacking, but there is a noticeable absence of the usual squabbles which the people have come to expect when Tammany Hall and the lad ministration" men come together. New York has no favorite son desir- ous of capturing the Chicago con- vention. The delegates at-large will be unequivocally for gold. In ac- eordanee with the directions of Daniel Lamont, the "administra- tion' delegates are urging the selec- tion of Wilson B. Bissell as one of the delegates-at-large. Their object is to have Cleveland well repre- sented in his own State delegation.

AMBITIOUS WASHLADY.
Spouted Her Lines as She Worked the Wash
board-Neighbors Grew Sad, Then Mad,
Then They Threw Things.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
Mrs. Sophie Adler, a widow, IS years
old, lives with her daughter Mrs. Jacobs,
at No. ia Meserole street, Brooklyn. She
calmly followed the vocation of washer
woman until recently, when ambition,
long repressed, arose within her and
made her crave for fame. She chose the
dramatic profession and sought an op-
poftun1ty to show her proWess behind
the footlights. She devoted herself to
study and attended the Lyceum theater,
at Montrose avenue and Lorimer street.
The theater Is but a block and a half
from Mrs. Jacobs home. A stock COM
pany plays old dramas there. She oc-
cupied seat in the orchestra at least
three nights each week. 1t was her habit
to watch one actress in each play and
commit her lines to memory. AS there is
a change of bill at the theater each week.
and as Mrs. Adler has seen each perform
ance during the past season, her roper
toire is extensive.
Startled the Neighbours
AS she worked over the washtub by
day she would repeat the lines she had
heard at the theater at night, and the
neighbors Of Dutch Town would hear
such lines as: ME chield! me cheld oh,
Godi how can stand this agony!
Such CALCULATIONS would continue to
disturb the atmosphere until the am
bilious woman would be forced to a real
6zation of the fact that she had divided
duty by glancing at the dashboard. Then
she would sigh, AYE, there's the rubw
and would rub the clothes until tempted
again by the Goddess Fame.
The neighbors, who are stoical, hard
working Germans, said she had taken
leave of her senses, and they say that
Mrs. Adler verified their opinion when
she took a dose of cold poison on yester-
day morning. She will not die, as a
stomach pump was put in operation. She
is in st. GATHERINGS hospital, and out of
danger though still very Ill.
When she leaves the hospital experts
of the CHARITIES department will examine
her to see If she is insane
There are many persons in Meserole
street who say the attempt at suicide
is not an evidence of insanity, and they
ask what better Mrs. Adler could do to
help along her ambition, inasmuch as
she has no diamonds to be stolen.
Thinks Her Mother Is Insane.
Mrs. Jacobs shared in her neignbors'
belief that her mother was losing her
mind. A young daughter of Mrs. Jacobs
had been in the habit of sleeping with
her grandmother and Mrs. Jacobs, con-
sidering the safety of the child, decided
last Monday to take the child to her own
bed. Mrs. Adler slept alone that night
and quarreled with her daughter over
the matter Then the ambitious washer
woman felt the weight of the obstacles
met with on the lower rugs of the lad
der of fame, and when Mrs. Jacobs went
to the grocery store at o'clock Mrs
Adler poured handful of rat poison
into cup of cold water and rank the
potion. At the proper moment Mrs. ia
cobs appeared rushed off and called
policeman, who summoned an ambulance
surgeon who carried a stomach pump.
