GENERAL LEE COMING HOME.
New Attaches VIII Not Take Their
Families to Madrid.
Washington Correspondence July I'd
New York Herald)

Washington Correspondence July 2d)
New York Herald)
Two developments in connection with
the Cuban question became public to-
day.
The first relates to the homecoming
OF Consul-General Lee, who will be In
Washington within the next two weeks
for the purpose of comforting with Min
lister Woodford in regard to the condition
OF affairs in Cuba and the Ruiz case.
The other Is that Secretary-of-War Alger
has quietly intimated to Captain Taskar
r. Bliss, who will shortly proceed to
Madrid as the military attache to the
United States Legation, that it would Dc
inadvisable TO take Mrs. Bliss and her
children. Lieutenant George l.. Dyer. the
naval attache, proposes 10 go 10 Aadrid
unaccompanied by any OF his family
From the latter facts 1t Is evident that
the administration proposes to make
strong effort TO end the war In CUBA.
This is confirmed by the conferences
which Minister Woodford has had with
the President, MISUNDERSTANDING oil
State Day, with Frank Aldrich. who VIII
be Consul General Lees successor, ana
with ecial-Commissioner Calhoun, ana
IL more confirmation were needed, then
his prospective chat with Consul-Gene-
raj Lee In addition Minister Woodford
has carefully read all the correspondence
between the United States and Spain
bearing on the Cuban question since 1903,
and is therefore well fitted to make
representations on the lines which the
President has laid down.
II is not expected in official circles
that Consul-General Lee will return 70
Habana. Upon his arrival here he VIII
see the President and confer with Minis
ter Woodford, and this will probably
wind up his official career as Consul
General at Habana. 1t Is expected that
at the time of his arrival the nomlna,,
ton OF Mr.. Aldrich as his successor VIII
be transmitted TO the Senate.

He was a brave and handsome lad,
She was as sweet as fair.
But oh her heavy-fisted dad
Opposed the loving pair.
He came out from behind 2 tree
He gave the cuckoos call,
And waited for the lovely maid
Who held his heart in thrall.
Fftsoons she softly raised tho sash,
And whispered: II am here
He ceased to gnaw his young moustacne'
And cried: "Hist' HIST my oear'
She "histed" once she 'histed" twice.
Her father snored away;
The lover dragged his ladder up,
And Brought II into play;
He stood upon the lowest round,
While she leaned out above
The moon was happy to have found
This bIissful scene or love.
"And are you sure" the maiden cried.
THAT you will ever be
AS brave and true as you are now,
And always cherish mey'
"As long" the lover made reply
"As yonder moon doth SHINE

"Pll love you, my divine:
He took another upward step,
Her heart began TO quake;
"Oh. what" she thought. would happen

II father should awaken
Up. up, the happy lover crept'
Till she could feel his breath.
And still the cruel father slept,
And all was sill as death.
Another step, another round.

SCOTLAND NECK.
Assaulted His EmplOyer-Death-
High Temperature.

SCOTLAND NECK, n. c., July g.
fsneciall--A negro named Jack Aston
assaulted Mr.. w. +. Butterworth on the
latter's farm two days ago, and dealt
him q blow that came very near being
serious. Mr.. Butterworth was walking
by his hands, and the laborer, Jack Ais
ton. was cursing his mule, and Mr.. But
terworth told him to stop 1t. The ne
gro replied that he would curse as much
as he pleased. Mr.. Butterworth passed
on. but on thinking the matter over he
concluded that it would be best TO dis
charge the negro, as he might have
trouble with him in the future. He
turned back some distance and told
Aston that he might go-he did not wish
his labor any more. The negro became
enraged. and STOPPING TO the ground,
suddenly seized large stone and hurled
II at Mr.. Butterworth. The latter threw
nm his hand and caught the stone. which
badly lacerated his hand, and would pro-
bahlv have killed him had 1t struck his
bod The negro was before Mayor Perry
Yesterday. and swore that Mr.. Butter
worth struck him before he threw the
stone. A negro corroborated Mr.. But
terworth's testimony that he was seve-
raj Yards from the man when he threw
the stone. Aston was bound In bond
of 500 for assault, and Immediately a
warrant was issued against him for per-
Jury. He was bound in bond of 500
for the latter. and not giving bond, he
was sent TO Jail.
Mrs. c.. c. Weeks. a most estimable
lady. died here this morning, after an
illness of two weeks.
The temperature is higher this morn
ing than at the same hour any day
this year.

Warrant of Arrest Issued,

Peter Ramstaad, of Minot, swore out p
warrant for the arrest of John j. Nichols
Tuesday. The charge is that of selling
somo horses that was the property of MIR.
Hamstaad. This will act as warning
lesson to Others who are making it
business to round up stray horses in
which they have no equitable interest
whatever, and disposing of them for
consideration to innocent parties. For
the security of the community there is
altog sther too much of this traf1icing in
stolen property carried on and it is high
time that the illegitimate business was
brought to close. Law and order must
b. upheld and those VINO Will not confine
themselves to the law must be made to
suffer the consequences. Citizens in the
outskirts OF the settlement are repeatedly
and systematically plundered of ali kinds
of live stock and property and it is their
opinion that there ls regular organized
band, with headquarters at various points,
who scour the hills for unbranded stock.
and occasionally venture into the settle
menS and deliberately drive stock from
their accustomed places of ranging.
People having intimations of infringe
ments against the law should not hesitate
to furnish the information which will lead
to the arrest and conviction of offenders.
1t should he borne in mind that we have
laws on our statute books that regulates
this matter, and that persons can only
take up animals while trespassing on pri.

Ralph Ward spent last Sunday with his
parents at Bismarck. Mr.. Ward is of the
opinion thai the opening of the Fort
Stevenson Military reservation will not
be the object of big influx of settlers.
There ,s some good farming land to-
gether with half dozen first class To-
cations for small ranches. That portion
of the reservation on the west side of the
