IMPARCIAL SCORES LEE.
Accuses Him aSending False Re-
ports to Washington.

w
Correspondence Associated Press.
Madrid, March 1.-THE impartial to-day
devotes its leading article to Consul Cen
eral Fftzhugh Lee. 1t remarks that he is
factor in the Cuban problem to which
sufficient attention has not been paid
adding: I'm no capital of Europe would
a full blown ambassador be allowed TO do
what this consular agent INDUCES in with
impunity in Cuba. This gentleman lets no
chance go by of showing in what quarter
lie his sympathies and good will Does
any difficulty arise between his country
and Spain he increases it; does friction
arise between the two countries, he does
his best to add to it; his reports are all
ways hostile to our country, and very
often full of falsehood. The insurgents
look upon him as protector, the Spaniards
as an enemy. A paper of his own country
has limited, many European papers have
stated, that he belongs to the syndicate
who wish to buy up Cuba, and every in
dication points to the truth of this state
ment His malevolence against our
country is so marked that it has been
noted even by the New York press, which
is in no way predisposed in our favor.
''Is our government so timid and fright
ened that 1t dare not present petition to
a government with which it assures us it
is on friendly terms? If that friendship
really exists the United States would find
no difficulty in relieving an official who,
far from improving that friendship, does
his level best daily to interrupt it,"

sPAINs FINANCIAL RALLY.
Madrid Paper Certain n Fresh Loan
Could he Raised Easily.

Madrid, March 1.-THE Financial Press
comments upon the facility with which
Spain has supported the heavy financial
burdens incurred on account of the insur-
rections in Cuba and the Philippine ISL
ands, and points out that although since
Senior Sagasta has been premier the cost
of the wars has exceeded 600 pese-
tas, the note circulation of the Bank of
Spain has only increased from 1,17A926, 306
to 1883, ,630, $50 pesetas. Upon this show
ing, the Press asserts that no one doubts
if a fresh loan should be required il
could be raised as easily as was the loan

The requisites of macadam road
nstruction-perfect drainage. care
ful building, ample rolling aud no
clay for binding, have been frequent
" pointed out. One result of not Sc
curing them Is told 10y Greenville
N. J. man in the Jersey City Jour
nal. in describing n street in his
towr. He says:
ITO prepare this road for the mac
adam nothing further was done than
10 scrape the upper crust so as to
make it level. Then crushed stone
was scattered until layer Of stone
nine inches deep was laid. The labor
ers then spread thin layer of earth
over the stoue and steam-rollers were
put 10 work. When the mass became
fairly compact the so-called macadam
pavement was completed.
II predicted at the time that after
the first whit sr's frost the level of the
road would not only be destroyed,
bu. that the earth filling would either
be washed away or settle between the
crushed stone, thus exposing the top
layer. Ny prediction was verified
during the spring following. At the
places where the filling settled the
roadway sank and formed deep holes,
and great stretches of the roadway
where the filing washed away were
as rough as nutmeg CRATER.
Traffic added to the destruction,
aud IN order to maintain the sem.
blance of pavement the Street and
| Water Commissioners were compelled
to spend $1,000 for repairs. A new
layer of crushed stone and screenings
restored the pavement TO a smooth
condition, but last spring the road
was in even worse condition than be
fore. Another contract for repair:
was awarded and a contractor is nov
at work endeavoring TO create roa'
out of what will never be a road unless

The titles of the King of Spain sug-
gest large part of the history of the
world. He is King of Jerusalem, which
is Turkish; of Navarro, which is
French; of Gibraltar, which is British !;
and of the East and West Indies, which
are largely British; Duke of Brabant
and Count of Flanders, now the two
independent kingdoms of Holland and
Belgium; and Sovereign of numerous
other lands long since independent or
under the undisputed sway of other
lowers. He bears upon his person,
indeed, an epitone of the glory and
the fall of Spain.

GOOD ROADS NOTES.



The state ne . Road Builder.
Road improvement is making pro-
gress, writes the New York Tribune.
The citizens Of this State have been /
slow to adopt any law on this subject, |
but, one having been passed by the
last Legislature, there are now tokens
that steps actually will be taken in an
extensive degree for the improvement
Of the States highways. Indeed, the
road Improvement law is already in
practical operation, and soon the road
making laborers of the State Engineer
and of various Boards OF Supervisors
will be seen at work upon many
prominent thoroughfares.
As might have been expected, tho
State Engineer received the first APP
piications for State aid in road i'm
provement from counties which con-
tain large cities or from counties
situated on the border-hne OF States
which for many years have expended
large sums in the Improvement Of
roads. The Erie County Board Of
Supervisors have submitted petition,
which was granted. for the improve
ment OF an important road leading
from the City Of Buffalo 20 the village
of Hamburg. The Monroe County
Board of Supervisors desire State aid
TO improve road leading out Of
Rochester. The Board of Supervisors
Of Rensselaer, County wish 70 cooper
ate with the State in the Improvement
Of the roads near Troy. Massachusetts,
and New York have formed a friendly
union and are engaged IN the Joint
enterprise of building a new road be-
tween Lebanon and Pittsfeld. Rock
land County real estate owners are
we'll acquainted with the excellent
roads Just over the border III New
jersey and their beneficial effect on
the value OF property. They there.
fore have been inspired by the thought
Of improving the roads all over Rock
land County, and have petitioned tn,
State Engineer 20 have "a thorough
survey OF the county made and th'
lines of roads mapped out which
ought TO be built or improved. These
improvements of the roads in Rock
land County will require such larg,
expenditure OF money that. In view o
the smallness Of the States appropria
ton. the county proposes 20 pay tn
total bill itself. Orange County /
also ambitious and desires State al
10 improve roads seventy miles i
length In all.
II Is obvious from these examples o
: the petitions for the improvement O

: is gaining strength. Some fault ha
