FITZ LEE FOR MAJOR GENERAL
In Case of War Mckinley Would Appoint
Him
(Richmond Times.)


Washington, D. c., February %
Special.-Interesting tall at the capitol
and also in military circles generally
today was about Consul General Fitz-
hugh Lees future as a public man in
case of war with Spain. That he will
remain in Cuba until the trouble is
over goes without saying, but a bigger
thing than the consulate general, it is
believed here, would be rendered him
if war should be declared.
He would be commissioned by Presi-
dent Mckinney as a Encouragement of
United States volunteers and assigned
to an important command in Cuba, so
it is said.
The matter was discussed in mill
tary committee circles, and every con-
gresham, republican and democrat,
who was sounded ON the subject,
thought it would be the very thing 1t
is known that President Cleveland had
1t In mind when he sent General Lee
as consul general to Cuba to put him
in command of the United States troops
in the event of war and that the same
policy has been favorably discussed
this week at the war department and
at the White house.
If it comes out this way Lee would,
as a matter OF course, be retired at
the enc of the conflict, with the rank
and a of major general of the Unit
ed States.
The retired pay is s5,625 per annum,
with the privilege of engaging in any
business.
Nothing would be more to General
Lees TASTE" said a southern senator
today. Il do not know what the pres
ident has in mind, but 1 would not be
surprised if ne made Lee a major gen.
eral."
That would solve the Virginian sem
atorfal question for 1899.
THE ARMY INCREASE.
Representative Hay, of Virginia,
one of the six democratic members Of
the military affairs committee, of the
house, is opposed to the two extra ar
tillery regiments for the regular army.
He admits, however, that the bill
which passed the senate, VIII become
a law. His position is this: The regu-
lar army is now above the peace limit
In time of war several thousand of the
infantry at posts in interior states
could be drawn upon to nan the new
coast d~efenceS. In Oth6r words, they
could be converted into artillerymen.
without any detriment to the military
service.
LIBERAL IN CASE OF WAR.
Now, il il comes to war, Mr.. Hay
said. he would vote fog any number Of
troops the president might recommend.
He Would vote for millions and millions
Of dollars in the way OF appropriations
when the time came. but he did not
think the expense Of the two extra
regiments for the regular establish
ment should be put a. a burden upon
the country. Mr.. Hay has given spe-
sial study to the military business
since his assignment 10 the important
committee referred to. He said today
that there wasn't a democrat or popu-
list in congress who would not show
his patriotism by supporting .enthusi-
astically President Mckinley in case OF
war with Spain.
