COMMENT ON LEES DEPARTURE.-El
Diario de la Marina, at Havana, pub
lished an article on Sunday under the
caption cat Last He Has Gone" in
which it institutes comparisons between
Gtu Woodforl and Gen. Lee. 1t say g.
The Madrid public may show itself
very sensible in viewing with indifer-
ence the promenades of Gen. Woodford
and his daughter, but the Havana pub
lie showed itself more sensible in view
ing with Indifference the embarkation
of Gen. Lee. Gen. Woodford has not
been converting the American Legation
in Madrid into club for persons out
of sympathy with Spain or belonging to
an annexationist syndicate. Neither
has he informed his government falsely
of the failure of autonomy Of misrepre-
sented the causes of the Maine explo
sion. Gen. Lee advised old-time Amer
lean merchants to leave Havana on the
ground that they would not bs safe
here, and that the apanierds would
commit all kinds of excuses. If all the
Americans in Havana had behaved as
he behaved, perhaps he would have
been right in saying So"
