THE INHUMAN TREATMENT k I Of Charles Scott By SpaniSHs.u-,
 thoritieS Is EXPOSED BY GENERA9 LEE Without Chair or Bed, Confined ISs,' Cell With Water On the Floor But Htone To
 Drink For Fourteen Days.

Washington, D. C., March 1.-The cor respondenee of the department of state with Consul General Lee at Havana in the case of Charles Scott, an American citizen, which was laid before the senate tonight confirms the published story that General Lee threatened to resign unless the department. supponted him Tn his de- mand that Scott be released from solita- ry confinement.
 The correspondence is much like half a conversation by telephone, as the tele- grams sent to the department by Gen. Lee only are transmitted, the department end of the interchange being omitted. Feb. 9, General Lee wired the state de- partment: "Charlss Scott, an American arrested at Regla this morning. Charges not yet known"
 The next is dated Feb. 20, and says Scott has been in jail in Havana without communication for 264 hours The des- patch continues: Cannot stand another Ruiz murder and have demanded his re- lease. How many warships at Key West or within reach, and will they be ordered here at once if necessary to sustain de- mand?"
 Feb. 29, he again telegraphs Secretary Olney, evidently replying to inquiries and in language That can scarcely be mis-
 
 ence at Guanabacoa made it my duty to demand, before too late, that another American had been incomundcadio 264 hours be released from said incomundi- cadio and l did so in curteous terms. If you support it and Scott is so released the trouble will terminate. If you do not, 1 must depart All others arrested with Scott have been put in communication. Why should the only American in the lot not be? He has been incopundicadio now 33S hours"
 The correspondence closes withfa tele- gram of the same date in which Gen. Lee informed the state department that his demand had been complied with Snd that Scott had been released from incom- municadio, after fourteen days solitary confinement in a damp cell five feet by eleven with water on the floor. He was not allowed chair, or anything to sleep on," the telegram concludes, "and dis charges of the body were removed only once in five days. Scott says he went always twelve hours without water. Scott was charged with having Cuban postage stamps in his house. Also that he was an employ of an American Gas com pany''
 In regard to the arrest of F. J. Cas- eanas, an American citizen, Gen. Lee on Feb. 1T, in dispatch announcing his ar rest, denounced 1t as great outrage and said there were similar cases. in Sagua and elsewhere on the island. The de- partment six days later ordered Lee to re- port on the whole facts and on Feb. "A, Lee replied that Caseanas insisted his treaty right should be respected. The prisoner had resided in Sagua since his registration there in 1872. The other dis patches show the number of his resig- nation entry number of passport, etc, and concludes with dispatch dated Feb. 1 27 leaving the matter undisposed Of.

ALL NEWS TO HER.

Mobile, Ala. March IA dispatch sent out from Washington Friday and print in the New Orleans papers Saturday morning stated that Henry w. McDon- nell planter of Point Clear, Ala, who owns a large plantation fifteen miles from Havana, and who is direct from Cuba, is in Washington and has com plained of the indignities put upon him by the Spaniards. Mrs. Mcdonnell, who claims to be the wife of Henry McDon- nell of Point Clear, called at the Register office today for informa tion relative to the source of the dispatch. She said that 1t was all news to her. She said that she had a letter from her husband last week and at that time he was in Cincinnati. He had been away from home not more than week, and she had no knowledge of his ever having been in Cuba or of owning a plantation there. She was not very communicative and only gave the above information after repeated interro- gations. In appearance she was comedy. but very plainly attired and did not look much like the wife of a man who was able to own a plantation in Cuba.

Richardson stock story.

Tall Congressman Richardson has a
stock story that he always tells before a
company that includes the veteran Sen
ator Harris. says the Washington Post.
1t is well known that the Senator never
gives his age in the Congressional Direc-
tory or to his friends, and to the most of
them the number of his years is a mystery.
He was. however, 20 years old Feb. 10 last,
which is quite another story. Mr.. Rich
ardson's anecdote makes him out some
thing more than centenarian and always
calls out laugh at the Senator's expense.
The congressman says, when stumping
one of the rural districts of Tennessee, he
was accosted one day by a countryman,
"Do you know Green?" he asked.
mo, L reckon not" answered Mr.. Rich
ardson.
What don't you know Green in Wash

Richardson's inquirer. We Played to-
