SPANISH PAPERS ROAST LEE.
Declares the Consul Must BE Ashamed
of His Report.

Havana. July T. via Key West Fla.-The
Adv.sador Commerc al. a political ana COM
ntercial daily. In q leading editorial ar'i-
Gle, makes a bitter attack upon United
States Consul General Lee on account of
his report to the government at Washing
ton on the Ruiz case. The paper says.
"CredltinE Cons n Ger eral Ice with some
good Judgment. we cannot but have COM
passion Tor him. believing him to be
asian ed of his report. The text of the
report has been published in Havana and
the Spanish residents show their chivalry
10y not even displaying their scorn for one
who has Included so many falschoods in
his report. Can there be a more ridiculous
stand than that taken bv General Lee?
His tale of horrors, based upon n prisoner
being alone in his cell wifelcss ana child

Of Havana have read IL with Indignation
or hilarlty and have shown General Lee
that certain of the mOnstrous acts related
are only capable of execution by those who
conceive them.
them because he has Witnessed them IN
his country and among his people, where
the lynching of prisoners is esteemed by
the authorities as legal. The Spanish peo-
PIE are too noble, generous and too chiv-
airous TO descend so low. They treat with
respect oven those whom they despise and
this is proved by the manner in which Cen
cral Lee has been treated in spite of the
foolishncss contained in his report.
we viii not even insinuate That in The
s;ufs0 indemnity he asks for tho widow of
l,r. Ruiz his commission Was his princIpal
object but this IN. least malicious persons
might infer after Lees request for SJJ,Vu9
with which to relieve suffering Americans
who do not exist here. The spanish pco-
pie are brave, not savage. ana do not Tor
mcnt dcfeuseless prisoners. Ihey 90 not
lynch their prisoners nor are they guilty,
with the rebels here. of the cruel and ter
rible carnage INDUCED in by Lees Fellow
citizens during the war of the rebellion.

Ice. would not be in tho position he Is now
a. after his insults lie knows that the
SSpauiards do not regard him as brave,
important enemy I'm Cuba.
ANY other government than that ct
Washington would find cause in the Ruiz
report to pigeonhoc IL for fear of ridicule:

A Georgia author wants a motto for
book Of poems called southland Dreams"
We suggest the following. from the poet
Coogler:
How strange are dreams!
! dreamed the other night
A dream that made me tremble-
Not with fear,
But Il kind of strange reality.
My supper though late,
Consisted of no cheese,
No salmon, pies or wine
Had touched these lips"
1t is said that Mr.. Cadwalader. who re-
Gently married his housemaid, has
famous family record"
Yes, if We are not mistaken. some of his
remote ancestors burned witches in Salem
for the love Of God.
A correspondent wants to know Just
where the Rev. Lyman Abbott stands"
That's hard question. We think. how
ever. that the reverend gentleman is some
where between hell and high water.
In relating the death of pious citizen.
a rural correspondent concludes with this
verse:
Ills life was square and level.
Ere death had set him free
He said: 1 see the devil.
Can't
Mer"
A war with England would ruin the trade
in coronets. Let US hope that America
will still be father-in-law to her.
The political sea has many breakers. but
the boys hope to land safely ;" the COVER
ship.
We are glad to hear that Bob Taylor's
famous fiddle has bow of senatorial
promise for him.
A Georgia pessimlst gives vent 20 his
feelings in this hopeless verse:
Alas! Alas! Alas!
This lifes q losing battle;
All human flesh Is grass.
Drive up the hungry cattle!'
If Governor Taylor can fiddle his way
into the senate, good luck to him! But
he's likely to discover that the senate is
too dull TO dance.
