SPANISH PRESS RABID.
Accuses Lee of All Sorts of Irecu-
Iarities.

MADRID, March 6.-For several DAYS
the newspapers have been violently at
lacking Consul General Fitzhugh Lee.
The Impartial. after remarking that
IAN American newspaper has insinu-
ated that Cen. Lee is a member of a
syndicate desiring to purchase Cuba, "
says: His ill-will towards Spain is
so marked that even American news
papers inimical to Spain are remark
ing it,
The Impartial calls upon the govern
ment to demand the replacing of Con-
sui General Lee, "who, instead of tight
ening the bonds of friendship between
Spain and the United States. daily rem
ders the situation more threatening. "
It adds that the next session of the
cCrtes will consider Consul General
Lees conduct"
The Havana correspondent Of the I'm
parcial says:
Among the packages Of food sent by the
Americans to Cuba. the customs officers
found watches, jewelry and other contra
band articles All such parcels were con-
signed to Consul General Lee. who Is said
to have theoretically protested against such
contraband. declaring that it was without
his knowledge.
Other papers accuse General Lee OF being
better disposed toward the Cuban insurgents
than toward the colonial government.
The Spanish press, however, in no.
wise reproaches United States Min
lister Woodford, whose conduct is
irreproa enable, and who SEXES every
opportunity to express pacific senti-
mcnts."

WHAT THEY WOULD DO
CONGRESSMAN TALK ABOUT MAINE
DISASTER
Tell what They Favor in the Event
That 1t Is Discovered That the
Explosion Was the Result of
Treachery - What Young Mr..
Tawney and Senator's Think.

Special to The st. Paul Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-A large
number of senators and representatives
have been interviewed in regard to the
Maine explosion. Some Of them take
the government in this crisis The state
ments of several of the congressman
of the Northwest are as follows:
James II. Kyle, South Dakota.
As a loyal American, l have only words of
praise for the heroes whose lives were sacri-
feed by the Maine disaster. AS a nation, we
should revere their memory. The heroism
and presence of mind displayed by privates,
as well as officers, show them worthy eex-
ampes of the American navy. Should this
disaster prove to be traceable to Spanish
treachery, the president will be justified In
maintaining the honor of our nation, even
at the cost of war, and the people will give
him loyal support.
William V. Allen, Nebraska.
I do not deem it wise at this time to say
what should be done in the event the wreck
of the Maine may be proved to be the work
of design. That will be for the administra-
tion. and not for congress to determine, in
the first instance. 1 have thus far studious-
ly refrained from expressing an opinion in
advance of the present inquiry being made
public Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof" 1t will be ample time for congress
to speak authoritatively and definitely when
the indisputable facts are made known. I
will not anticipate what should be done
after an uncertain event, or one that may
never happen.
Francis e. Warren. Wyoming.
Referring to the melancholy fate of the
battleship Maine, if the heroic officers and
sailors of that unfortunate ship proved
to be the victims of treachery, full repara-
ton must be demanded. The president
will be expected by the people Of this coun-
try to act Immediately and firmly. l be-
lieve he will act and he will have the
almost solid support of congress and the
country. While it is right that judgment
should be suspended and excitement sup
pressed until the facts known, yet il
occasion requires, action should be quickly
had and the United States alone should
make and enforce the terms

disaster to our ship Maine that reflects in

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Ii she had lived-how sweetly sad the
thought;
OF all she might have been; what differ
ent ways
Her steps had led me- what more happy
days
Her gentle presence to my life had brought.
If she had lived.

And. won at last. the favor Of the land
Might seem more worthy to my happier ewes
If she had lived.
If she had lived, the earth and air and sky
Might seem to hold a deeper right to be.

The flowers she loved might sorrow more to
die,
If she had lived.
If she, had lived. perhaps each day were
given

Morn. noon and sunset, twilight and the

Had borne me on more calmly to the sea,
Whose shore is Life-and Natures har-

His Havana record has been no sur

Gen. Lee. His family has always been
famous In American history. How
could the granson Of Lighthouse
Harry" the revolutionary hero, or the
nephew of Robert E. Lee be anything
else but courageous and possessed of
tact and common sense?
The son Of a naval officer, he pre-
ferred the army as a career. Gradual
ing from West Point. he fought at the
frontier for six years before the open
ing Of the rebellion, and was engaged
in several desperate encounters with
the COmanche indians In Texas.
Though only tWenty-seven years Of
age, Lee was an instructor in cavalry
tactics at West Point when the war
broke out. He followed his state" in

record is matter Of pride to every
Virginian.
Gen. Lee possessed remarkable COM
posture in battle. He never got the
least ratified under the most trying con-
ditions, except at Saylor's Creek, on
the retreat from Petersburg; he never
betrayed anxiety, and, though often
under rafting fire, no one ever saw
him dodge. This cannot be said Of
many Of the bravest men. Sometimes
bullet will unexpectedly whizz close
to ones head. and the impulse to dodge
Is almost irresistible, though 1t never
did anybody any good.
One of the officers with him said once
that the only time he had been moved
by the enemy's fire was at the battle
OF Winchester. He and Gen. Early met
under an apple tree near the summit
of hill and in very exposed place.

rained down on them they concluded

which all others agreed with remark

to get any apples.

everything, as far as known, that goes to
substantiate and add luster to that heroism
and devotion to duty and country which has

1t does not concern me what others, I'M
friendly to our country, may say in deroga-

really uttered or merely said to have been,
do not enter into my estimate of the Off
