GEN. LEE IN HAVANA.

Gen Fitzhugh Lee recently appointed
United States consul general at Havana in
succession to Mr.. Raymon O. Williams
resigned, arrived there Wednesday morn
ing by the Ward Line steamer Mascotte.
The steamer was met by Il gaily decorated
tug, upon which were McsSrs. Williams
and Springer DR.. Burgess and Senior Zal-
do, representing the captain general. The
party boarded the Mascotte and extended
Il cordial welcome to Gen. Lee, Gen. Brad
lev T. johnson and number of other
Americans and ii large crowd of people
| awaited Gen. Lee ashore.
On the wharf General Lee was received
most respectfully. There were no demon
| STATIONS, and he entered a handsome car
| riage and was driven to the Hotel 1ngla-
terra, where Mr. Williams had previously
secured fine suite of rooms for his sue
cessor. Gen Lee partook of coffee and
| then retired for IL short rest, a he was very
| tired in consequence of the rough passage
| from Kew West He will visit the captain
general today.
General Lee has already made quite Il
| favorable impression by his quiet, gentle
| manly behavior and pleasant conversation.
1t is understood that General Johnson is
very much pleased with the reception
which has been accorded him by Captain
General Weyler.
Representative Robinson of Louisiana,
speaking of the probabilities of MIR. Ste
| vcnson's nominations upon silver plat
| form, said Wednesday Il do not think
| the silver men of the democratic party
will nominate a man about whose position
there has been doubt while the fight for
silver has been in progress within the
party lines. Mr. Stevenson has been Il
| cosistent democrat and is Il good man.
| but he has waited too long to see which
way the convention is likely to go upon
| the money question. He may be in favor
| of silver, but he has not said so, and at
| a time like this no one should hesitate to
| proclaim his views. As the fight in the
campaign promises to be over the money
question almost to the exclusion of all
! other issues, the silver democrats will in
sist upon Il leader whose views are well
known and who has done something to
aid the cause for which we have been
| fighting

his children. Miss May and Master Frank,
Jr., left Union Station Wednesday morn
| ing for New York, where on tomorrow
they sail on the Lucania for Liverpool,
From Liverpool Il tour of Europe will
be made, and the Ex-Governor will likely
return to America in the fall for short
stay, and again resume his travels.
| He has planned to travel abroad about
three wears. After his final return cN-
Governor Brown will go to Chicago to
| look after his property interests, and eN-
| poets to divide his time between that city
and Boston, where he also has large inter
| estS. He will make occasional visits to
! Baltimore.
| On Saturday the decorations for the
| Maryland headquarters at the La Clcde
| II otcl, in st Louis, during the republican
| convention will be forwarded from Balti-
more. They will consist of flags, bunting
