LEE HONORED.

New York. April lj.-The president has
decided to give Consul General Lee the
command Of the Virginia volunteers In
the event that hOstilities break out be-
tween this country and Spain, says the
Washington correspondent Of the World.
This decision was reached after con-
ference with Secretary Alger. The mat
ter was first broached by friend Of the
president, who suggested that II would
be "A good plan to give Lee command
of some sort In case Of war. The presl-
dent consulted with several friends, who
advised him that 1t would be impossible
to appoint him to a command in the regu-
lar army The president, who Is
staunch admirer Of General Lee, was
nonplussed. Finally the announcement
was made from the war department that
in the event that volunteers were called
for, the president would appoint all Off
GERS Of the rank Of colonel and above,
and officers under that rank would be
appointed from the various states from
which the volunteers were received.
When issued. Virginia, General Lees
state. will furnish her quota and the
president will designate General Lee com
mander Of the forces from Old Dominion.
Owing TO General Lees great knowledge
Of the Typographical condition Of cuba,
II is more than likely that his command
will be given orders to at once proceed
to Cuba. General Lee has announced his
willingness to return to Havana at the
head Of an invading army and doubtless
he will be allowed 20 go upon the open
ing Of hostilltles. A member Of the
senate proposes to introduce a special re-
solution whereunder the president may
appoint General Lee major-general OF
volunteers.
