GENERAL LEE.

General Lee appears somewhat restless un-
der the restraints placed upon him by the de.
lay in sending troops to CGba. He is anxious
to get back to the island and attack the
spaniards, and predicts If he is put in charge
of the troops down there he will make quick
work of Blsnco's army. The announcement
from Spain that General Weyler had conferr.
ed with the Queen Regent, and would return
TO Cuba at the head of the army, proved in.
teresting reading for General Leo, who said
after he read it that he woald like nothing
better than to face Weyler with an army.
The general very humorously referred to
Captain Ger eral Blanco, and said he had an
engagement to spend g week with him at
Saratoga in July. He hoped to be able to
keep that engagement, aud, with smile, said
he would be pleased to go to Havana with an
army and escort Blsnco TO this country, not,
however, as guest, but IS prisoner of war
General Lee appears TO think that the pro.
posed delay in sending troops to Cuba will
prove somewhat dangerous. The rainy sea-
son sets in on the island about the middle OF
June or the first Of July. and he had hoped
that the troops would be sent at once to Cubs.
and that the fight, as far as driving the
spapiards from the island, would have been
