CONSUL GENERAL LEE.
BIOGRAPHY OF THE MAN WHO
REPRESENTS Us IN CUBA.
A Distinguished Soldier In the Con-
federate Arny-Nephew of Cen
eral R. E. Lee-Prominent In the
Affairs of His Country for Many
Years.

At this time, when General Fitzhugh
Lee, United States consul general to
Cuba, is so prominently in the pubic
eye, few facts regarding the generals
past career will be interesting.
Fitzhugh Lee was born in Fairfax
county. Va, Nov. 10, 1895. He was
graduated from West Point in 1856, and
commissioned second lieutenant of the
Second cavalry, serving in the west
against the Indians, where he was Sc
Verely wounded. He was ordered to
report at the United States military
academy, West Point, in May, 1860, as
instructor of cavalry. where he con-
tinued until the beginning of the civil
war IL 1861. when he exchanged the
service OF the Union for that of the
confederacy, and was commissioned
first lieutenant of a cavalry corps,
March 16. 1851.
He served as adjutant general of Ew
ellis brigade until August, 1861, when
he was made lieutenant colonel of the
First Virginia cavalry, and was ad
vanced 10 colonel in March. 1862, to
briGadier general July "a, 1852, and to
major general Aug. g. 1868. He was
severely wounded at Winchester, Va,
sept. -. 1864. after three horses had
been shot under him. The wound dis
abled him for several months.
During the last month of the war he
had command of the cavalry corps of
northern Virginia, which ne surrender
ed to General Meade at Farmville, Va.
After some years of retirement on his
farm in Stafford county, ne began TO
take an active part in the politics of his
state, and was elected governor of Vir-
giria il 1855, for a term of four years.
His public speech delivered at Bunker
Hill in 1875 was largely read and went
far to bring about a better feeling be-
tween the corth and the south. and in
1886, at the washington centennial, Gel
ebrated in New York City General Lee,
at the head of the Virginia troops in the
parade, received an ovation second to
that accorded to no public man present.
He was appointed consul general to
Cuba by President Cleveland. He is a
nephew OF General r. y. Lee

seem that the domestic troubles of

he was granted an absolute divorce
from Mrs. Hurt and the custody of his
five children. A couple of years ago
Hurt shot and killed one of his herd
ers, named Joe Min, at Casper. Min
had been intimate with Mrs. Hurt. and
neither of the guilty persons denied
the charge. Min and Hurt met in the
streets of Casper one day, and after a
war of words. Hurt shot the man who
had ruined his home. Hurt was &C
quilted and Immediately began divorce
proceedings, succeeding in getting the
custody of his three boys. Mrs. Hurt
retained custody of the two girls and
was granted alimony. -Four months

Hurt brought suit for an absolute di-
