CUBA AND HER ADMINISTRATION

1t is difficult to catch on to the exact
Is certain that General Lee did call
upon Secretary Olney for a warship at
once to be sent to Havana, and hat
he declared that he will not stand an
other Ruiz murder. Tha is perhaps
doubtless a true account of what Lee
said. Here is the message he sent to
Olney, which the willy secretary tried to
suppress:
~Olney, Washington:
Have demanded release of Scott,
American citizen, who has been kept
in prison and incomunicado without
due process of law eleven days.
Trust you appreciate gravity Situa-
ton and are prepared to sustain me.
Must have warship Immediately. How
many ships have you at Tampa, Key
West and southern waters, n are you
prepared to e them here, should it
become necessary?
Il cannot and will not stand another
Ruiz murder. LEE"
The Spaniard, Major ~Fondsdevilla,
who ordered DR.. Ruiz to be put to
death is now in Jail. General Lee has
: at last showed the grit that was ex-
pected of him, but has been long de-
Iayed. There is a strong popular de-
mand now that Mckinley shall retain
General Lee. The special correspond
ent of the Atlanta Evening Constitu-
fion writes:
To-day General Lee is a solitary fig
ure in the dying Cleveland administra-
all about it. His bold reputation of
the Cleveland-O lney-DeeLome COM
bination and his vigorous stand for
American rights has won him a pOpu-
lar support that is taking a strange
turn. The people want him retained in
office by Mckinley. even the republi-
cans are urging this as a most popular
step for Mckinley to take"
Even so rabid, ultra a republican or
gan as the New York Mail and Ex-
press is asks Mckinley to keep him at
Havana. It is believed in all the Sec
lions of our country that Cleveland and
~Olney have been false to the Cubans
and in sympathy with Spain. The
Evening Constitution has been inter-
viewing some of Atlanta's prominent
citizens and they speak out on the
shameful conduct of the retiring pres
ident and want our honor upheld. They
say that the administration has let the
American flag rail in the dust and has
ignored American rights" Mayor Col

were given charge of the water-wagon
that was attached to the engine.
AS they were passing over bridge near
Tigardville the flmsy structure gave way,
precipliating the engine and the wagon to
the bottom OF stream, distance OF fifteen
feet, beneath the bridge.
In the fall the water tank completely
capsized, and Norman and Harkins were
caught under it. A steam pipe on the
engine burst and the escaping steam
rushed forth in such volume as to obscure
the wreck from view.
This made the work difficult for the
rescuers, but the flow of vapor was
checked. and Harkins. who was still moan
ing in agony, was first reached. The
wagon was raised and the poor fellow was
extricated.
His body was in q terrible condition,
the flesh being so badly scalded by the
steam that it dropped IN places from the
bones.
Then search was made for Norm an,
ana he was found under the wagon dead.
he had been literally crushed into jelly,
and his body was mangled to such an ex-
tent tha, nearly every bone was broken.
