Friends of General Fitzhugh Lee
here say the constant reports about his
troubles with the Spanish officers in
Cuba, his dissatisfaction with his own
government for not backing him up"
and his threatened resignation, are
founded upon nothing more substantial
than the imagination of certain sympa-
thizers with Cuba, and that they know
he is on the most amicable relations
with the Spanish authorities and the
people of Havana, that he and his own
government are in perfect accord, and
that his life in Cuba is 80 agreeable that
he wants 10 stay there as long as pos
sible.

To the Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
In yesterdays GAZETTE is an article un.
der the caption Effected from the Station

does not set forth certain facts that | think
in justice to me should be published In the
first place am newspaper correspondent,
and went to police headquarters in that ca.
pacity. and never go there except in that
capacity. In the second place my blo:her. J.
t. Reckham, jr, is also N wspaper man and
has been known as such, and he was employ
ed by me to get news items" I do not
think you DO US justice in not stating that We
went 10 headquarters as newspapc, men in
accordance with what We have heretofore
done, when We had business to transact and
without moles.ation. As your article roads TO
mo it would appear that two private citizens
were the parties in question, when the whole
occurrence was a newspaper controversy.
Further. Mr.. J. 7. Beckhsm, jr, went TO
headquarters Saturday night by my direction
and with the permission of Mayor Thompson
to transact business for me This permission
was never retracted TO me and in point OF
fact Tom Beckham was not elected from
headquarters until after the Mayor had read
an article that I had written in my paper

Cumberland are more or less crippled.
Later reports show that the Potomac
river continued to rise until at III

toward the danger line. Throughout
the Monongahels valley river traffic
has been suspended. The greatest
damage thus far reported is between

THE CRETAN AFFAIR.

4 dispatch from Canea, Island of
Crete, says: "The British, Italian and
Russian consuls proposed an armistice
of one week at Selinos. This PROPOSE
ton was accepted by both Mussulmans
and Christians.
The Christians at first fired on the
consuls aud refused to hold any confer
ence. The consuls found the Christians
and Mussulmans waging war of exter-
mination. Both had massacred prison
ers.
Fifteen Christians, including three
nuns of the Elias convent, were wound
ed by the bombardment. Five thou
sand insurgents arrived within half an
hour after firing commenced.
Advices from Gambia are to the effect
that the water supply has been divert
ed and that the Governor has twice
vainly asked foreign admirals to land
marines.
A dispatch from Constantinople says that
official reports from Crete say that the total
number of Moslems, men, women and chill
dren, who have been killed during the pres
emit troubles in that island is over ~ 900,
and that twenty-five Moslem villages have
been pillaged and burned.
A dispatch from Athens says that Greece

surgent positions in the island of Canea is re-
peated she will break off diplom matte relations
with the powers. 1t is also stated that Assm
Bey, the Turkish minister at Athens, threat
ems that Turkey will break off her relations
unless the Greek troops are Withdrawn from

FIFTY-FOURTH CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, February %.
SENATE.

Notice was given by Mr.. Morrill, oil
his intention to address the Senate on
Thursday on the resolution in reference
to the independence of Cuba.
After the routine morning business
the consideration of the Indian appro-
prialion bill was resumed-the ques-
ton being on a point of order made
yesterday by MIR. Villas against the
committee amendment for the opening
of the Uncompahgre Indian reservation
as general legislation.
Mr.. Mills offered resolution, which
was agreed to, requesting the Presi-
dent to transmit to the Senate a state
meut of the facts concerning the arrest,
imprisonment and death of DR.. Ricardo
Ruiz in the Jail at Guanabacoa, Cuba,
with copies of the correspondence on
the subject.
The Vice President laid before the
Senate report from the Secretary Of
State as to the persons claiming to be
an American citizens, who were cap
tured on board of the Competitor. Re-
ferred to the committee on foreign re-
lations.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Fischer asked unanimous consent
for the consideration of the bill to
authorize the Secretary of the Navy to
appoint Lieut.. Robert Platt, command
er in the navy, and explained why it
was desirable that the bill should be
passed, he being the only officer in the
navy who could not, without special
legislation, be promoted. Objection
was made, however, and the bill failed
for the present.
Mr.. Hooker was no more successful
in his effort to pass bill to amend the
river and harbor act of 1894, so as to
permit the completion of the last of the
series of reservoirs at the head of the
Mississippi river. Upon Mr.. Fletcher's
statement that he did not think the
failure to pass the bill would result in
preventing the completion of the reser-
voirs, Mr.. Loud objected, saying that so
far as it was possible for him to do, he
intended to prevent further foolishness
of this kind.
A Senate bill to pension Emma Weir
Casey, widow of the late Brigadier
General Casey, chief of the engineer
corps, at SIS q month, was passed on
motion of Mr.. Wheeler with an amend
ment reducing the rate to $50.
There was tremendous struggle for
recognition by members who crowded
the bit in front of the Speakers chair
waving their bills in the air and crying
"Alr. Speaker"
The regular order was demanded,
however, and after Senate amendments
to several House bills had been agreed
TO the House went into committee of
the whole to further consider the naval
concentration bill.

THE limoges, who would involve TINS
country in wars with Spain and Tur-
tev say ''hoth Crete and Cuha have
been wretchedly governed" Well
suppose they have, what business Is 1t
of this country? There are people who
not only say, but who know that this
country is not only wretchedly, but in
famously, governed, but such govern
ment is the sole and peculiar business
of its own people, and neither those OF
Spain, Turkey nor of any other country
have the impertinence to NEEDLE with
the affairs of its or any other nation
They may sympathize with those whom
ttev believe are sufferers in foreign corl-
tries. but sympathy for them is very
different from war in their behalf. All
the countries OF Europe except one
sympathized with the South in her
heroic and terrible struggle for liberty,
but none of them ever allowed sympa-

SENATOR SHERMAN agrees with Gen.
eral Washington in respect of one
thing at least. He is not in favor OF
meddling with the affairs of foreign
countries. He therefore opposes inter
ference with Spain in the matter of her
troubles with her insurgent subjects in
Cuba. AS Secretary of State in the
the next administration, it will be his
business to avoid foreign entangle-
ments, rather than to court and pro-
mote them.

"OFFICEs ARE public trusts, not prl'
vate spoils," said Daniel Webster. MI
Cleveland, when d nominee, said the
only way to preserve party's eftclen-
CIV. is for its members to submit to tie
arbitrament OF its national convention.
But the latter, when President, remov-
ed an efficient U. S. attorney in Vlr-
sinia. because he followed his precept,
but not his example, did submit 10
the arbitrament of the national demo
cratic convention and stood by his
party, but appointed one in the Dis
trict of Columbia who refused to ABIDE
such arbitrament, followed his exam
pile, but not his precept, and did all h,
could to assist him in his effort to de-
feat the partythat had done more for him
than any party had ever done before Tor
any other man-nominated him thrice
and elected him twice to the Presiden-
cy. Yes, public office, in Mr.. Cleve'
lands opinion, is private snap.

WHEN A young politician suddenly
changes his opinion on a public ques'
ton. an excuse may be offered on the
ground that further study and reilec-
ton may have convinced him OF his er
ror. But when an elderly man, judge
at that, suddenly, and without even an
attempted explanation, reverses his own
opinion, and thereby relieves the rich
people of the country of taxes to the
amount of forty or fifty million dollars,
as Justice Shras, Of the U. S. Supreme
Court did, ne necessarily evokes criti-
cism and provokes just such adverse re-
marks as were recently uttered
by Mr.. Mcmillan on the floor #
the U. S. House of Representatives
