SANGUillY'S RELEASE.
The Cuban Patriot Expresses Gratitude to
 General Lee For His Liberty.

General Lee For His Liberty.
 KEY WEST, March 1.-General Julio Sanguilly has arrived from Havana by the steamship Masootte He was at first indis- posed to say anything further than what would express his lasting gratitude to Consul General Fitz Hugh Lee. whom he described as truly noble American and a man who should long ago hive been in Cuba. Had he been there years ago" General Sanguilly exclaimed, "there would have been less shedding of Ameri- can blood" He was very much agitated as he expressed his feelings toward Consul General Lee
 Asked how he was treated during his confinement, he begged earnestly not to be compelled to recall his terrible experi- ence during the last two years.
 "Why," said he, II have not been ai- lowed to read one solitary newspaper ex- cept those published on the island. When heard of the death of brave General Ma eco, 1t almost made me collapse, not be- cause I thought the death of any man would check the progress of the Cuban cause but because I knew then that the butcher, Weyler, would not be recalled, as Spain would try to pacify the people by pointing to Maceo's death as great vic tory for the government"
 Speaking of his plans for the future, General Sanguilly said:
 1T do not know them myself, but I am now going to Washington to attend the inaugural parade, having been invited by the old veteran boys to parade with them. l have been given place of honor in the parade. After that I shall go to New York to see my brother, who has worked so faithfully for my release, and then shall keep my promise to the people of Key West to return and pay them visit, as I am all ways happy to see my fellow countrymen. |"

Veto of Immtpration BflI.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-The president has sent to the house of representatives a message vetoing the Lodge immigration bill. It occasioned some surprise. although the friends of the bill have had little con- i'd ence that 1t would become law since the character of the opposition developed in the senate. But there was considerable astonishment that President Cleveland should have assigned as reasons for his disapproval the objections which appear in the veto message. It had been supposed that the Corliss amendment would form the basis of the veto, but instead of citing the objections to that amendment, brought forward by Senator Gray in the senate, the president criticises the bill as a whole and declares 1t to be faulty in construction as we'll as unjust in its restrictions
 The friends of the bill are by no means discouraged by the action of the president. They regard it only as a postponement of the enactment of the law. Just as soon as congress comes together again in the reg ular December session the bill win be re- introduced in the house and in the senate by Mir. Mccall and by Senator Lodge. It will be brought in in its original form, without the Corliss amendment. And 1t is expected that 1t will receive the sigma. ture of President Mckinley.
