A HAVANA PAPER ON GENERAL
LEE

The Avisador Commercial, political
and commercial daily of Havana, in a
leading editorial article makes a bitter
attack upon United States Consul Gen
eral Lee, on account of his report to
the government at Washington on the
Ruiz case. The paper says:
"Crediting Consul General Lee with
some good judgment, We cannot but
have compassion for him, believing
him to be ashamed of his report. The
text of the report has been published
in Havana, and the Spanish residents
show their chivalry by not even dis
playing their scorn for one who has in
cluded so many falsehoods in his re.
port. Can there be more ridiculous
stand than that taken by Gen. Lee ?
His tale of horrors, based upon a pris-
oner being alone in his cell, wifeless
and childless, has gone to the wall.
The Spaniards of Havana have read it
with Indignation or hilarity, and have
shown Gen. Lee that certain of the
monstrous acts related are only capable
of execution by those who conceive
them.
Probably Gen. Lee has conceived
hem because be has witnessed them
in his country and among his peo-
pie, where the lynching OF prisoners
is esteemed by the authorities as
legal The Spanish people are too
noble, too generous, and too chiv.
alrous to descend so low. They treat
with respect even those whom they de-
spise, and this is proved by the manner
in which Gen. Lee has been treated in
spite of the foolishness contained in his

1--WE will not even insinuate that in
the $40, 900 indemnity he asks for the
widow of DIR. Ruiz his commission was
the principal object, but this the least
malicious persons might infer after
Lees request for $50, 900 with which to
relieve suffering Americans, who do
not exist here. The Spanish people are
brave, not savage, and do not torment
defenseless prisoners. They do not
lynch their prisoners, nor are they
guilty, with the rebels here, of the
cruel and terrible carnage INDUCED in
by Lees fellow citizens during the war
Of the rebellion.
"Were we revengeful instead of no.
Bile, Lee would not be in the position
he is now in, after his insults. He
knows that the Spaniards do not regard
him as brave, important enemy in
Cuba.
"Any other government than that at
Washington would find cause in the
Ruiz report to pigeon-hole it for fear Of
ridicule. II such are the diplomats and
generals of the United States, what
kind of folks must the rest Of the peo-
pie be ?"
