GENERAL ZEE IN HAVANA.
No Demonstration Upon His Arrival Re
 ception Courtesies.


 ception Courtesies.
 Havana, June 3.-General Fitzhugh Lee, the new United States consul gen. eral, arrived here at 5:30 this morning by the Ward line steamer Mascotte. The steamer was met by a gayly dec orated tug, upon which were Messrs. Williams, Van Springer, Dr. Burgess and Senor Zaldo, representing the cap tain general, as well as the agent of the Ward line. The party boarded the Mascotte and extended a cordial well come to General Lee. General Bradley Tyler Johnson and a number of other Americans and a large crowd awaited General Lee ashore There were no demonstrations when he reached the wharf. He entered carriage, with the coachman and footman in Senor Zal- dos livery, and was driven to the Hotel Ynglaterra, where MT. Williams had previously secured suite of rooms for him. General Lee partook of some cof- fee and then retired for short rest as he was very tired in consequence of the rough passage from Key West here, during which he was very seasick.
 An American citizen named Thomas Daly, said to be the correspondent of a New York newspaper, who was detain- ed by the Spanish authorities of St. Cristobal, province of Pinar del Rio, on the charge of having taken photographs of the country, in violation of the mili- tary regulations, arrived here under es- cort last night and is now at the chief police station, where he is held while awaiting instructions from Captain General Weyler.

Entertainments.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The large audiences attending the Grand onera, house show the interest the public are taking in the perform ances of Santanelli, the master hypno- tist, who is astounding everybody with his wonderful feats.
 Hypnotism resembles sleep, but in sleep there are no ideas, while In hypno- tism there is a blank idea for which the hypnotizer can substitute his own suggestions; for hypnotism is simply suggestion. It is what one mind, act i've, alert and in concentrated power, suggests to another mind, blank, supine and at it's mercy. And it does that to the exclusion of every other idea Moreover, the human mind can enter tain but one idea at a time.
 The man that Santanelli put to sleep on Monday night is visited daily by hundreds of people. He seems to rest very comfortably. He is to sleep until 10 o'clock on Saturday night, when Santanelli will awaken him in the pres ence of the audience
 The Vitascope, Edison's latest tri- umph, is a wonder. The Boston Herald says: It's possibilities are unlimited. Starting out with series of pictures that are interesting, instructive and beautiful, they can add to them every week, aye, every day if need be. Just think what it means. The scenes shown are local, full of life and action, simply lacking in vocalization, so far as the figures are concerned.
 The May Irwin Kiss'' is one of the favorite pictures and is much applaud ed every night
 There will be a performance every evening and a special matinee on Fri day and the usual matinee on Satur- day.

So I did. I had my first wife disin- tered and placed in the new casket in the mausoleum. and the other caskets are there ready.
 Now, why ain't that all right? tell you, have seen so much of this work about the dead and about ceme- teries have seen more shams and frauds there than anywhere. There is a cheat about nearly everything they put under the ground. I have done mine myself, and I know how it is done. Better than most, assure you. Why not cremation? No, never had much fancy for either fire or water. When Gabriel blows his trumpet want to be there; I want to know where am att

At the time of the Garratt incident had not so much as thought of buying a burial lot. My wife said to me, Let us stay here and look about We did so. We let the carriage go to town while we went up on the hill. Colonel | Frye's mausoleum has a beautiful view all over town. We found that the ad- joining lot was not taken. My wife liked the spot. I bought it. I spent many weeks correcting technicalities in the records and so on, so that the title would be perfect Then I decided to build a mausoleum. I saw that the others built of granite all leaked, as I --one solid block.
 T did good deal of nosing round the cemeteries during the progress of the work. I looked through those little peepholes in mausoleums and saw that the caskets made of iron had often rusted away. There was one I noticed had lain there for twenty years, per- haps, and there was a heap of iron rust on each side-probably had holes in the top. l could not see. We'll, I deter mined that that would not do. I must make better arrangements than that. I went to see the coffin maker and asked him the price of coffin-a good one He named five thousand dollars. I told him it was too much. Who is your undertaker?' he asked. I told him I had none. Then you can't get a cof- fin he said, I'll go somewhere else,' I said. But you can't get a coffin any where in the United States unless you
 
 not? There is a big combine covering the whole country But the coffin is for myself. I don't need an undertaken for little while I said. 'Ah, that is different he admitted.
 q had him take my measure with plenty of room. Then I said, The conn., bine cannot prevent my making a coffin for myself, I guess?' He agreed that it could not.
 "Then I went to an undertaken whom I knew. and I said, What is the hand somest coffin you ever saW?' He said that of President Garfield.
 He brought out a book and showed me the picture of it. I borrowed the book, and at my home made detail drawings of the same thing. took my drawings to a one-time engineer friend of mine and for twelve dollars he made patterns.
 Instead of paying four cents a pound for iron paid twenty-five cents a pound and got bronze. Garfield's | casket is a sort of sheet-bronze neatly put together. Mine is cast in solid 1 pieces. Garfield's cost twelve hundred dollars. I made three caskets and they | cost me altogether one thousand dol lars went east and stopped at Cleve- land and saw Garfield's casket. Mine is as far superior to it as Garfield's is to an ordinary coffin.
 "The three caskets were in the mean l time sent round to the undertaker's | and he put them on exhibition. When I returned he said to me, T have an of fer for one of those caskets. can sell it for as much as all three cost you.' Now" said MT. Bradbury, T am a business man and have been accus- toned to turn an honest dollar when I could, but draw the line at this.
 -'I said, No, I'll be hanged if I'll traf- fic in my own coffin.' I refused. "The mausoleum was complete I went out with my wife and we had the caskets placed. She said, You can lie there and I will lie here, and you can place the other there on the other side

men which aided in making yesterday
miserable, turned into a old -fas hioned
snow storm about o'clock last night,
and in three hours of steady progress
succeeded in scattering three inches of
snow over the ground in this vicinity.
The temperature took drop of sever
al degrees during the night and as a re-
suit the air is decidedly chilly today.
The sun is shining today, the snow is
melting rapidly and tomorrow we shall
have fair and warmer weather, they tell
US.
The snow of last night was general
throughout eastern Kansas, from two to
three inches being reported along the
lines of the Santa Fe. In southern Kan
sas light snow fell. Along the lines in
western Kansas the weather is reported
clear and cold.
Snow is reported to have fallen on the

The Betting Trends to on the Lanky
Australian.
NEW YORK, Feb 7.-Sporting opinion
in the east evidently favors Fitzsimmons
in the coming fight with Peter Maher
this month, Several fairly big bets have
already been made, and they all tend to
show that Filz5immons is the favorite,
the ordinary rate of odds being five TO
four on the hard hitting, lanky fighter
from Australia.
Among the larger wagers recorded
"Dink" Davis has put up $4,000
on Fizsimmons against "Mattie"
Corbetts $4,000 of Maher money.
"Charley" Heineman has bet $500 on
the Australian against like" Thomp-
sons $4C0 and Leo Mayer has bet a cool
81 200 against r. L. Williams 5000, that
the coming contest will result in a vic
tory for Fiiz. Although the last named
bet shows a point in Makers favor
against the ruling quotations, the gener-
al run of the Iris hm4n's friends are hold
ing out for a shade under the market
rates-$75 to 500, or $40 to 500.
The deductions based on study of
the form of the men are as follows:
Fitzsimmons to beat Maher.
Walcott to beat Bright Eyes.
Dixon to beat Marshall
Everhardt to beat Leeds.
Barry to beat Murphy.

that she jumped in front of her grand

At this the stranger sprang

down Walnut street. Both women
screamed. and Miss Quinn fought SO

BUFFALO, N Y, Feb. ALEX F. Ham
ilton, formerly of this city, now a cap
tain of the third division of the insurgent
army under General Garcia, in Cuba,
gave a graphic view last night of the
methods of warfare in Cuba's struggle
for independence.
He said: 81 think General Gomez will
attempt to capture Havana. He will
bring up all his forces for great attack
and that will settle il. This will be a
difficult task and should have been done
at first"
Are there many Americans in insur-
gent forces"
"Perhaps two-thirds of them are
Americans, great many of whom are
southerners, from New Orleans and other
cities of Louisiana"
''W hat truth is there in the report of
depredations and assaults by insurg
ents?"
unfortunately. we have on our side
several bandits who are desperate fight
ers but unpriLcipled. Besides
this there are about four
hundred filibusters who seize
anything they can lay their hands on, no
matter whether they be Spanish or Cuban
forces"
"What made General Garcia leave his
army?"
well, he came over to the United
States for ammunition. He was
in Philadelphia two weeks ago,
but by this time he will be
back among his men with gatling guns,
ssbres, ETC. myself nope to be back in
two or three weeks with a few little
things.
81 am convinced the insurgents will
never rest till they drive the Spaniards
clear out of the island, and Cuba de-
clares her independence under the
United States protectorate."
