of the emperor's death, and some do
not hesitate to express their acceptance
of the report of his assassination.
The Chinese minister, however, dis
credits the entire report of a tragedy.
Il DO not believe that the emperor
has been assassinated," he said TO an
Associated Pres reporter tonight. II

he had received no information what
ever and said he would hope for re-
assuring news until he was personally
advised of the condition of affairs

GENERAL LEES CORPS.
In Good Health and Will Soon GO to
Cuba

New York, Oct. General Fitzhugh
the Seventh army corps. of which he is
commander, would probably go TO Cuba
about the last of this month. He had
10 regiments under his command. and
the general health of the corps was
excellent. Only about = per cent had
been on the sick list since they had
been encamped at Jacksonville.
We've got excellent water" he said

are run throughout the camp. with a
spillout at the head of each company

out, General Lee said he did not know
One Nebraska regiment would be mus
tered out. and the choice had been left
to the governor of Nebraska.
My CORPS is in fine condition and
we'll drilled" said General Lee. You
know when there's any fighting going
on 7 Ike the volunteers, but in time
of peace they have too many fathers
and mothers and sisters and cousins
and aunts who want to get them out of
the service
DO you expect to go to Cuba be-
fore your corDs?' he was asked.
NO." was the answer. Il had too
much trouble staying there without
soldiers when 1 was there last
General Lee did not know that any
commander had been suggested to take
command of all the troops in Cuba. He
was inclined to think that the island
would be divided into DEPARTMENTS,
with one general in command of each
department, but. of course, one man
might be put in command of all. He
thought at least $4,000 Spanish soldiers
would be sent back to Spain, but some
would prefer to remain, because they

When the shot the gallant Dewey hurled
Crushed the hopes of the Spanish world
