Our Consul General at Havana.

In future Congressional or other discus
sions Of the Cuban question, especially as
connected with the gallant and unsupported
| attitude of our consul general at Havana,
wetrust that the State Department charge,
| innuendo, or whatever it may be called,
| that, after notifying the government of
Dr.. Ruiz's arrest, on February 4, General
Fltzhugh Lee was remiss in his efforts to
secure that citizens release, between the
date referred to and the day of his brutal
murder, which occurred on February II,
may be thoroughlyinvestigate
Ii the State Department authorities had
not been terrified by the sudden outburst
OF national rage and contempt that broke
upon them when the news reached here of
the fIightful torture and final murder
OF Dr. Ruiz, by Weyler's devilish tool Fon-
deviela, they would have known better
than TO have made charge which anthe
correspondence in the case; an the facts,
as they have been gathered and forwarded
by newspaper correspondents; the state
ments of General Sanguilly and those of
General Lee himself. brand as false and
cowardIy.
We are almost glad that the accusation
was made, because without that last straw
the tale of ofinfamy would have been lncom-
plete. 1t seemed an easy way out of a
terrible difficulty, to throw the onus of
administrative indifference to the liberty
and lives of American citizens Upon the
gallant officer who was trying to protect
them, very much at the risk of his own.
1t did not work that way, to be sure,
and If anything had been needed 10 dig
deeper the depths of disgrace in which
the present control of the State Department
win sink out of sight on Thursday, this
inconceivably miserable fling was the very
thing.
But new era breaks. We cannot be-
leve that Gen. Lee is to be left many
days longer without the comfort and
protection OF the naval force he has asked
iol IIoih MI oihey WITHOUT aFall, ana
which he again will ask for at the hands
OF Mr.. Sherman. As soon as he can safely
and properly do SO, it is to be hoped
that he may be allowed to visit Wash
ington and tell the whole story in ali its
hideousness. Then we feel assured that
no one will he able TO doubt the ex-
tent Of the personal outrages which have
been visited upon him, or the extent of the
national degradation which the public
policy and official action of Secretary
Olney has caused
