C%ew York Times)
In his Account Of IN European Set
Elements I'm America" written century
and q half ago Burke wrote that THE
inhabitants of Virginia are cheerful
hospitable. and many Of them genteel
but somewhat vain and ostentatious peo-
pie" The character has continued TO be
true ever since. and it need not be said
that the defects of the Nirginian qualities
10y no means necessarily render the char
actor less amiJblc or less popular
Without doubt Filzhugh lee is very
typical Nirginau. and even more clearly
he is the popular idol of the hour. tie was
a gallant soldier. and 30 would be hard to
saw that Virginia has had a better Gov
ernor since the war. But his national
popularity dates from his appearance in
New York at the funeral of General
Grant fifteen years ago As the only
member of General Hancocks staff in
civilians dress he was necessarily con-
spcuous figure in that memorable pro-
cessiOn. and he was conspicuous also By
his impressive presence and his mastery
hOrSemanshp. n was the chiVarOus i'm
pulse that led the nephew of Robert l..
Lee to appear i'm person to pay the last
hOnOrS 10 the victorious commander OF
the Union army that touched the pOpu-
lar imagination and made his election
the same year 10 the gOVrrnOrship of
Virginia a matter Of national congratula-
ron.
Perhaps General Lees qualities were
not precisely those which would have
been sought for by a government intent
upon securing the most efficient repre-
sentation of itself at Habana I'm very
critical times. "Judicious." discreet
and diplomatic" are the adjectives one
would apply first of all i'm advance 10 de-
scribe the proper incumbent of such
post. and none OF them would be applied
first of all To FitZhugh Lee. Yet, in
fact he has served his country admira-
blV by the mere exercise of good sense
and good feeling and when the change
OF administration came at Washington,
he really imposed himself upon the new
administration. 1t could not afford to
remove a man who had done so con-
spicuously good service.
When a man 50 kindly as General Lee
shows deep hostility 10 the Spanish
Government i'm cuba. I'm spite of the
pleasant relations he has sustained with
the Spanish Governor. the presumption
that il deserves his hostility is over
whelming. His humanity has been
shocked by the constant contemplation OF
Spanish inhumanity. When such a man
saws that "the time for action has come"
his countrymen are ready 20 believe him.
When he says. as General Lee Is reported
10 have said yesterday, that he was
ready 10 turn back for Habara.' there
is no doubt thai he could find enough OF
eager volunteers to follow him. The
President could make no wiser use Of the
mowers of the mmander-in-Chief than
10 offer a generals commission 20 Fitz-

CAMP CHICKAMAUGA.

1t Is understood to be the purpose Oh
General Miles to mobilize ten regiments
OF infantry and artillery and seven oil
cavalry at the Chickamauga National
Park, aa soon az transportation arrange
ments can be made therefor IL is iur-
Their represented to be his plan to assem-
bic there volunteers who may be enlisted
under the Presidents first call. so as to
bring the aggregate OF the force up TO
10000.
Thus the battlefield OF September -
and 20. 1856. would be again made alive
with soldiery. though then the Confede-
rate gray as a color for uniforms would
be conspicuous by it's absence.
Chickamauga is a Geld from which the
young soldier might derive very whole
some inspirations. There one of the very
biggest and bloodiest of the battles oil
the late war was fought There conspi-
cuous valor was shown by both armies,
and there a splendid victory was won by
the Confederates, though its fruits were
soon afterwards wrested from them. The
youngster who studies that field and con-
siders that about $500 or $4,000 men fell
there will realize that there is a dark side
TO the pomp and circumstance Of glorious
war
Chickamauga Is not far from Chatta-
nooga. and is believed to be a good local
ity for modifying troops. whence to dis
tribute them as they may be needed for
service upon the coast. But we cannot be-
licve that IT will be the only great rem
devious established. Another one will be
needed somewhere in the vicinity Of New
York. and we should think still another
would be necessary near Washington, or
in Virginia.
1t would hardly be prudent to conccn-
trate at Chickamauga troops that would
probably be Indispensable in distant
States. We doubt if the Virginia volun-
teers would be sent beyond the borders
of this State and the District Of Column
bia, unless, indeed. in the improbable
event of a gigantic invasion of some
other section of the country.
Some curiosity has been expressed to
KNOW OF NIdt service cavalry '"ui" "' 'ii
such a war as is expected but it seems
to us that plenty of employment could be
found for them. If our coasts are to be
carefully patrolled IT will require not only
all the steamers we have, but many
horsemcn. Again. the cavalrymen may
be dismounted and turned into infantry
where and when needed. That this is
likely to be the fate of some of the regi-
ments we know is strongly suspected in
some circles of the army.

The Reception of Lee.

tNeW OfK llmeSJ
To realize the fun effect chat must
have been produced on General Lee by
the enthusiastic demonstrations of which
he was the object all the way from Key
West 10 Washington. one must remem-
Der that for many months he has been
living i'm the midst of openly. and often
fiercely, expressed hostility. He has seen
few friendly faces and heard few friend
~ words i'm Habana. while denunciations
Of his acts and threats against his life
have assailcd him constantly. These are
most depressing conditions. and the
change TO an atmosphere OF unanimous
and enthusiastic admiration must have
been like passing from winter night to
the noon of June day. In his Darkest
Africa" Stanley speaks az length of the
horrors of living i'm a country where TO
meet a human being is 10 meet a deadly
enemy. His experience was hardly more
trying than General Lees, and. cordial
as was the explorers welcome by ciyili-
cation. il was vastly less OF a contrast

yided by General Lees journey 20 the
