The Consul General, About to Leave, Talks
About Cuba.

New York, Nov. S.-General Fitz-
hugh Lee, consul general to Havana,
will sail for his post of duty Wednes-
day. General Lee was reticent today
in speaking Of Cuban affairs, but he
referred with satisfaction to the inter
view with President Mckinley last
Friday.
1T was of course gratifying to me"
said General Lee, "to have the presi-
dent tell me that my course as consul
general met with his approval. He
told me that he had received letters
from representative men of all sec
tions that express their satisfaction at
my retention in office. OF course
cannot say what my instructions are,
except that am to look out for the
rights Of American citizens. AS to
President McKinley's wishes, all can
say is that he desires peace.
When asked as to the effect of Cen
eral Blanco's appointment to succeed
General Weyler, General Lee said
'Of course, when a commander is
replaced by another IN the field it fol-
lows that this new commander is to
use new policy. A new general
will understand that, even though he
received no special instructions what
ever. What General Blanco's policy
will be, however, cannot say"

STORY OF THE HEADLEOS CORPSE.

Nezt-ImpOsing Array of Counsel.
A Complicated Case.

New York, Nov. 8.-To unravel the
tangled skein of one of the most mys-
terious as we'll as heinous crimes OF
the century is the task set for the jury
the selection of which began today IN
Queens county court of oyer and ter
miner at Long Island city. The cause,
officially known as the people rs. Mar

In The Patronage Of The Times Testimonial To It's Value
BIG SHIP COMING.
Mallory Line Sends the Comal to Catch W
with It's Freights.

with It's Frsights.
The Mallory liner Comal, one of the
largest and fastest of the ships of the
line, will arrive this morning to load
cargo for New York. The Colorado
arrived yesterday afternoon.
Various causes have conspired to
make the Mallory line a little behind
in handling its large frsights through
this port. The strike, the stress of
weather, and the accident to the Rio
Grande last week caused delay, and
there was considerable talk among the
local merchants of having their freight
sent through Savannah, unless the
Mallory people took prompt steps to
overcome the delay.
The coming Of the Comal, which has
been taken off the Galveston line tenn
porarlIy to make an extra trip to
Brunswick, will solve the difficulty,
and the merchants will have no fur
ther cause of complaint. The delay
was due to providential causes, but
the line has been prompt to make up
for lost time.
The Comal will be in command of
Captain Evans, formerly of the State
of Texas. She is large ship, 2,251
net tonnage, is $40 feet long and A
feet beam. She will be the largest
coastwise steamship ever IN this port.
The accident to the Rio Grande hap
pened when the steamer was 200 miles
out from New York. Her shaft was
cracked and she had to sail back to her
starting point. The Colorado, which
arrived yesterday afternoon, is oD her
regular trip. The State of Texas
sailed Sunday for New York.
The Mallory line deserves credit for
its promptness in meeting the require
ments of Brunswick shippers and
merchants.

imously. These bills were taken up
from last years calender.
In the senate the temperance issue
was revived by vote rescindlng
Fridays action, killing the Turner

draw same.
This means that the prohibtionists

it will be pressed in the house.
Senator Wooten introduced a new
registration law Incorporating a mod
flied Australian ballot.
The fight over the convicts will be
on in EARNEST next week, the house to-
day setting the bill as the special or
