LEE HAS RESIGNED.
THE q. S. CONSUL GENERAL TO
CUBA, WILL COME HOME.
He is too Patriotic to be Cleveland, 0lney,
De LONE & Co., Tool and See Ameri-
cans Suffer in Spanish Dungeons.

New York, Feb. pa dispatch TO
the Herald from Havana. Cuba, via
Key West, says:
Consul Gen. Lee has resigned. His
letter rendering his resignation, under
certain conditions. goes by the next
mail.
He determined come days ago to
take such step if he was ont upheld
i'll his efforts to protect all American
citizens in Cuba.
The consul general asked the state
department that he be authorized to
demand the release of citizens of the
United States confined in Cuban
prisons on the same legal circum-
stances as was the Inflated Ruiz Such
authority has not been granted him.
Spanish warShipS in Cuban waters
have. since yesterday. been concen-
trating in the harbOr of Havana. This
is regarded here as very significant,
in view of the important incidents of
the last few days.
Great pressure is being brought to
bear here to make Consul General
Lee deny the Herald'S Jacksonville
dispatch. to the effect that the diplO-
matte report from Havana had asked
the government to send warships to
Cuban waters.
AS preteXt for such denial, tits
based upon what can be founded. 1t
is stated that, according to the dis
patch, Consul General Lee had simply
asked for a warship to take him to the
United States, but the correspondent
says what the consul general really
did do he can reiterate on the highest
auththority. and that was to ask for
warShipS to support him in his efforts
to protect Americans whose lives
were in jeopardy.
The Herald'S Jacksonville dispatch
therefore, was absolutely correct. and
upon reputable authority" says the
correspondent. and | can confirm it
in every detail.
IF necessary. | am further conf
dent that | can secure and send to the
Herald the full official telegram in
which Consul General Lee asked for
warShips."
Great anxiety is felt at the palace
and in all official circles ut the news
from CienfuegOs. which states that
the city is the center of a serious mu-
tiny of the Spanish troops. Large
arrears of pay are due the army in
Cuba and the discomfort caused by
this has eliminated in open disObedi-
ence in the Spanish ranks in the Glen
fuegOs district.
The insurgents in the eastern end of
the island have captured BayamO. an
important town in Santiago.

:. an physicians admit thu Yet here the
difficulty begins. How can we build up
the coTisumptive's body as fast as the dis
ease tears 1t DOWN. Let Us consider.
Cough mixture must be avoided because
they frequently contain opiates. which
arrest the digestion. Their only effect on
the cough Is by SIMPLIFYING the nerves.
Let them alone.
All foods that are hard to digest must
be avoided, especially fats and oils. Only
those foods that are easily digested and
thus accepted by nature do no good; they
do harm, Not what is merely eaten but
wha. IL digested and assinilated gives
flesh and strength.
Consumption Is starvation, slow or
rapid, as may be. The first symptom Ia,
not necessarily cough, but q tendency to
lose flesh, to grow thin. Stop this tend.
ency now, Don't walt for obvious lung
trouble. That's only later development
only a minor point,
Stop the wasting and you master the
disease, --eyen though IL may have made
some slight inroads already. Increase the
flesh and the danger Ia past.
y Whatsis needed Is an especially pre-
pared food, "a nntriment In itself and q
digester Of other foods.
Such an article is the Shaker Digestive
Cordial, made by the Shaker Community,
Of Mt. Lebanon, N. Y. It creates natural
appetite and insures the digestion Of what
Is eaten with 1t. 1t overcomes the vast
ing which il fatal in the consumptive
process.
A man may lose money and not die n
bankrupt. One may have consumption
and not die of 1t. This Is science and
sense. The success Of this new remedy
proves it,

Henry oayspdilh, the famous, chemist
bad such an inNeterats abhdrfepcs Of ~
male society that, from the procahtions he
took 10 svoid personal contact with any
member Of the ser, he earned for himself
the scbriquet Of the Woman Halter. 10 Ia
said that he used to carry on oomrnunioa-
tions with his housekeeper respecting the
daily wants entirely by correspondence,
and a rigid rule was enacted In his estab-
lishment that on no pretense whatever
might female venture into his presence
Such women haters are by no means
rare. A gentleman died recently In Vienna
who used to adopt extraordinary measures
10 avoid contact with womankind. At
the theater it was his practice to book
three seats and occupy the middle ono, SO
that a female should not by any possibility
sit next to him. A
When travelling, he would engage an
entire compartment In order to avoid the
risk Of having woman In the carriage,
and he invariably chose the road In walk
Ing for tho reason that no was least likely
to find q female there. The mans hatred
Of the sex was indeed carried so far that,
In his mortal sickness, ho gave orders for
the purchase Of six feet OF ground on either
side Of his grave In order that In death
female body should not come within that
distance Of his.
There Is man now living in London
suburb who has similarly pronounced
hatred Of the gentler sex. Being wealthy,
be keeps up a large staff Of servants, but
no female is to be found among them.
Men and boys have to do all the domestic
affairs Of the household, even to scrubbing
the floors and making the beds. Women
(even the relatives of the servants) are
strictly forbidden the place, and any men,
ial transgressing the rule by admitting
person in petticoats Is instantly dismissed.
An opulent gentleman in tho north of
England who has for years shut himself
out from female society died not long
since, leaving will tho terms Of which
displayed in an unmistakable manner bis
hatred Of womankind. Ignoring the fe-
males entirely, all his male relatives were
provided with legacles, but On this Condi.
tion-yiz, that the single ones were to for
felt their inheritance tho moment they
married, and the married ones were not to
como into theirs while their wives wer6
living. Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE REPUBLICAN, SIR:
Articles rejecting on the character and
orthodoxy Of the Rev William Frederick
Lewis of the Rodney Street Presbyterian
Church have appeared almost smultan.
cously in several papers of this and other
cities, which are unjust to him and, ii not
Gontradicted, will injure his Influence as
minister of the Gospel. The under
signed, composing the eldcrship OF the
said church, desire to state that the i'm
putations or accusations rejecting upon
his orthodoxy as TO the doctrine of the
atonemont or upon any other part of the
Presbyterian creed are utterly untrue and
contrary to his belief and teaching and
that he has tho unbOundcd and united love
and confidence Of the officers and conRre.
CATION Of said church, who are justly and
deeply indignant at these false accusations
