Praises for General Lee.
TAMTA, Fla, March 6.-General
Julio Sanguilly arrived here at l
o'clock Monday morning. The voy'
age had been very rough one and he
was feeling little worn out from the
trip and not inclined to talk much.
''Of course, I am glad to oe free
again and am overjoyed to set foot
once more on American soil, said
General Sanguilly. 1T is entirely un-
necessary for them to INSIST on my
leaving the island, $ one of the condl.
tions OF ny release. | would have

free again until the day before my
pardon and the news almost over
whelmed me when brought to me in
Cabanas prison. I have always been
proud OF my American citizenship but
am now more so than ever before. l
attribute my release to the live exer-

realize how free am. Ny few hours
in Havana were filed up getting ready

the outrage but coold do nothing.
Il often requested the guards not to
do this and to allow the poor fellows
to snou: as they marched to their
doom, for it could do no harm; bat
they could not stand that offensive
