Love,s Ecstasy.

Bits of the noontide sky for eyes,
The dawn's rose-hue for cheeks,
Sunsets gold where each mad curl flies
The spheres song when she speaks;
Borrowed from meningitis star-lt arch
Are her eyes when troubles come;
And the deserts less meath the suns rays parch
Than my heart when her lips are dumb
o thy cheeks are the dawn to me, sweet one,
Thy hair is the gold of even:
Thy voice is the song when ray world was begun
Thine eyes are my hearts own heaven.

GEN. LEE ON AMERICAN SOIL
Declines to Talk of Cuba Until He
 Reports Officially. MUCH SUFFERING IS THERE But Americans Are Being Taken Care 0f-The Cisneros Case Greatly Exaggerated
 and the Girl Is Kindly Treated.

New York, Sept. 8.-Consul General Fitzhugh Lee, accompanied by his son, Fitzhugh Lee, Jr., arrived from Havana on board the Seaguranca today. The general said that he had been suffering from biliousness for some time past, but he felt very much better after the sea trip. When asked as to whether he would return to Cuba or not the general shook his head and said:
 "I cannot answer that and I would rather not talk on Cuban affairs until I make my report in Washington"
 In speaking of the case of Evangelina Cisneros, the general said: "The young woman is now confined in Casa Rec ,hi- das. She has never been tried ard do not think that it was ever intended that she should be banished. The sto- ries of her i'll treatment are very much exaggerated, and were it not for the hubbub which has been raised about her, the girl would probably have been released long ago. In fact was given to understand that her name was on the pardon list. She has comfortable quar- ters and is treated as well as possible under the conditions. There is a good deal of suffering in Cuba, but the Ameri- cans, numbering about 1,400, are being cared for from the fund of $50,O00 which was appropriated for that purpose They receive relief daily, and up to the pres ent time about s15,OOO has been ex- pended"
 "Is there any sign of business improv- ing or a change for the better in Cuba?" asked the reporter.
 No. am sorry to say there is not" replied the general And there will not be any improvement until the war is ended"
 "When will that be, general?"
 To this last question Gen. Lee replied in Spanish. a. free translation of which is, That is too much for me; I cannot say"
 Gen. Lee and young Lee went to West Point today to see his other son. George M, who is at the military academy there, and tomorrow will leave for Washington.
 Among the other passengers on board the Seaguranca were Robert L. Oliver, United States consul at Merida, Mexico, and George W. Fishback, of this city, who was said to have been sent to Ha- vana on business for the United States government. Mir. Fishback said his trip to Havana was purely on personal busi- ness. He said there was great deal of suffering all over Cuba. and that the condition of the people was even worse than when he was there last as secre- tary to Commissioner Calhoun, when the latter was Investigating the Ruiz case. He saw Miss Cisneros at the Casa Recohidas and he said the reports re- garding her treatment were grossly ex- aggerated; that the young woman was fairly well treated and did not complain when he was speaking to her.

A 9-year-old gill was in the room with her. but was so frightened she could not give the alarm. Miss Chapman does not know whether the man was black or white. She was so frightened and so terribly hurt by the mans brutality that she became insensible and has not yet recovered her wits.

 The board will remain in sesion for several days. It will endeavor to make the quarantine regulations as perfect in their details as possible. State Health Officer Sanders, the president of the board, has visited Ocean Springs and has carefully examined the disease prev alent there. He states that it is unques- tionably yellow fever. The physicians here do not believe that the disease will get foothold in Alabama. The eoun- try districts seldom suffer from the plague, and the cites and towns of the state are in exceptionally good sanitary conditions at this time.

Is She Up to Tricks ?

Washington, Sept. s.-The treasury department has received from one of it's officials at Pensacola dispatch ex- pressing the belief that the pilot steam CT Somer Smith, of Mobile. is laying around the Florida coast engaged in a flibustering expedition. The Smith was recently painted at Mobile. She left thsre the 2sth of August, presuma- ply for Pensacola, but as nothing has b=en seen of her around Pensacola she is suspected of engaging in filibustering. The authorities have been notified to keep an eye on the vessel.
