GEN. LEE.

A dispatch from Richmond says
G an. Fltzhugh Lee will go to Washing
ton Sunday morning, unless sooner re-
called by the War Department. He
will receive commission of major gen
eral in the army which is to go to Gu
ba, preparations for which will be &C
lively made by the middle of next
week. The troops sent to Cuba will
consist of twenty thousand regulars aud
seventy thousand militia, the latter to
come from the various States. This
force will probably be landed at Ma
tauzss. 1t was by Gen. Lees advice
that SIMPSONS squadron has sailed to
blockade Cuba. He told the War De-
partment that enc vessel would be suffi-
cient to close the port OF Eagana, while
others pa.rolled the island He said that
spain had no warship in Cuban waters that
could not be easily overcome by our vessels
General Lee yesterday telegraphed to The
War Department advising that suitable uni
forms for the use of the soldiers in Cuba be at
once occurred. The lightest kind of cloth
should he secured. canvas shoes and straw

General Lee anticipates little trouble in ex-
polling the Spaniards from Cuba. While it
is certain that he will be rendered the posi-.
ton of III .jor general he will go to Cuba if
he has TO go as lieutenant of Virginia vol
uuteers.

Neutral Flags.

BERLIN, April 23.-There has been a
lively exchange Of notes in regard to
the proposed concerted action upon the
part of some of the powers for the pro-
lection OF neutral flags. 1t is under
stood that Germany, France, Austria
and Italy have about agreed to send a
strong note to both the United States
and Spain warning them to exercise the
greatest caution in dealing with neutral
shipping, adding that otherwise full
repsration will be insisted upon. These
powers also intend to send vessels to
the seat of war to observe the naval and
other operations. Germany will prob
ably send the Koenig Wilhelm. Great
Britain and Russia are still hanging
back.
The German government is strongly
incensed at the sale of the Hamburg
American liners Normannia and Colum-
bia to Spanish company, as the YES
sells were auxiliary cruisers and there
fore the consent of the government of
Germany, which was not obtained, was
necessary for the sale.

REACTIoNARY WAR SpIRIT.-A let.
ter from Richmond says; There is 8
noticeable reaction here as regards war
Those who have been foremost ia de.
handing that the United States fight
Spain are having little to say. Some
of them now admit that the United
States has blundered. There has never
been much war fever in Richmond.
Most of the military men will go into
service with lack of enthusiasm and
naturally they will fight in balf-heart-
ed sort OF way. The trouble is the most
of the soldiers are unable to tell why
the war is to be waged.
Governor Tyler's circular letter call
ing on the captains OF oil the companies
to, poll their men and to ascertain how
many of them are perfectly willing to
go to Cuba, if necessary, is not bring
ing prompt replies. Many Of the COM
panies are not willing to volunteer for
Cuba. Their position is this. They
have volunteered for service and are
subject to orders which they will obey.
The Governor and President can use
them as they see fit. They see no rea-
son for asking if they are willing to
fight in Cuba and they are not going to
volunteer again when there is no ne
cessity for it.

MADRID, Apl. 2S.-The war enthusi-
asm continues here and in the pro-
yinces. Patriotic demonstrations are
reported to have occurred everywhere,
Special religious services of prayer, day
and night, are being organized for the
success of the Spanish arms.
The Spanish Senate was organized to-
day. The Senators took the customary
oath, and the Cuban Senator, Senior
Piendo, felicitated Captain General
Blanco and the Spanish army in Cuba
on the enthusiasm they are showing in
the defence OF Spanish territory. The
Senator added: 81 am persuaded the
army will rather die than suffer defeat"
MADRID, April 23.-10 a. m.-The
capture of the Spanish steamer Buena
Ventura by the United States cruiser
Nashville OF ley West yesterday has
aroused the greatest indignation, the
Spaniards claiming that hostilities are
not yet supposed to have begun. The
newspapers of this city characterize
the seizure of the ship as an act OF
piracy and being in defiance of the in
ternational law characteristic of the
Yankees"
1t is again rumored that the Spanish
squadron has sailed from the Cape
Verde Islands, but its destination is not
given, though it is believed the SPANS b
warships will suddenly appear emu
create o surprise.
The panic on the stock exchange has
been counteracted by supreme efforts
upon the mart OF the financiers. The
tone of the Bourse has L. ..cninbly improve d
and the rush to The banks for the pull
pose of changing nCtes intc silver has
been stopped by the determination Of
The treasury officials to allow the free
coinage of silver. Great indignation
continues to be expressed against
Great Britain, which is regarded as be-
ing partial toward the United States
hnd unfriendly to Spain.
The stories of a ministerial crisis are
denied, and it is understood that after
agreeing to the financial programme,
the Cortes will adjourn until May Is.

From Havana.

HAVANA, April 23.-At 4:45 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the United States
fleet was sighted in the offing. La Pun.
ia, the fort opposite Moro castle, was
crowded with curious people, including
many ladies. The city is agitated by
war enthusiasm. Great cor fidence 10
felt among the Spaniards in the effect
iveness of their batteries.
When it was signalled that the fleet
was in sight warning guns were fired
from Moro castle and Cabanas fortress,
adjoining it. This caused excitement
throughout the city and was the first
real note of war. The merchant vessels
in the harbor at once put to sea. The
cannon shots from the fortresses stirred
up the regular troops and volunteers
and there was rush to quarters. The
Spaniards have great faith in the
strength of their forts, batteries, etc.
Many of the stores are closed, as their
owners and employees have been called
to the defense of the city. Every pre-
caution possible has been taken by the
Spaniards to guard against night sur.
prise.
Throughout the evening the scenes
of enthusiasm continued in the harbor
| districts and Sap Lazaro avenue was
full of people who shouted defiances at
the distant American fleet, yelling,
"Wby don't you shoot!" etc. When
the news of the capture of the
Spanish steamer Buena Ventura
reached here, Admiral Manterola
wished to prevent the sailing of the
American steamer Saratoga, but Cap
tain General Blanco was opposed to
this step and she was allowed to sail.
1t was estimated this evening that
there were from $4,000 to $4,000 men
under arms in Havana proper. The
district outside of Havana, at the same
time was held by the battalions of en-
| gineers.

POLO ON THE PRESS.

The Spanish minister, Seaor Polo y
Bernabe, who has arrived at Toronto,
Ont, from Washington, talked quite
freely yesterday about war between
the United States and his country. He
said
at is perfectly incredible that gen.
orally sensible people like those of the
United States should have become
perfectly insane about the Maine and
pretend to make Spain responsible for
the accident OF that vessel. There has
never been less reason for a war. 1t is
really crime against civilization and
humanity. 1t is ridiculous that war
can be made without great suffering.
SIN the Cuban war, burning and
blowing up has been done by the in
surgents, and of course the government
troops were obliged to take very strong
measures. But there has never been q
war conducted on such humanitarian
principles as by General Martinez Cam
pos and Gen. Blanco. The Spanish
government has already given to Cuba
as free institutions as are enjoyed by
Canada.
1.-The resolution assented to by Con-
gress SAYS that the United States will
not keep Cuba if they take possession
of it, and that they will only go there to
pacify that island. This assertion is
perfectly wonderful. If the United
States had prevented from the begin
nirg of the instruction the sending OF
arms and ammunition to the insurgents
and had not allowed the Cuban junta,
practically the real government of the
insurrection of Cuba to be established
in New York, and to direct from there
the operation OF the Cuban rebels, the
instruction, maintained by the practi-
cal and moral support of the United
States, would have been ended long
ago.
"There are many people of influence
who are interested in the continuance
Of the instruction, because it was the
only way to give value to certain bonds
issued by he junta. These have had a
decided effect upon the humanitarian
campaign of certain American poll
ticians.
81 do not say anything about
the American newspapers. Every
body knows which New York
uewspaper is disgrace to the
country. Undoubtedly the press
has done a great deal Of harm and
maintained with its sensational and ly
ing news an agitation that has placed
the American public on the verge Of
insanity.
II am sure if the truth were known
the American people at large, who are
honest and sincere, would not have sup
ported the policy that has been forced
upon the President and the govern
ment. II they knew the real sincerity
of the reforms in cuba, and if they had
been aware that the will of the real
Cubans" was for autonomy as rendered
by tho Spanish government, they
would have opposed the war that the
United States has forced upon the
Spanish people.
eve feel that we have done every
thing possible to do and we have our
