OUR MURDERED sA1LoEs

Down in Havana Harbor,
In Cuba-fairy land,
On the 18th, day of February,
Eighteen hundred and ninety eight
Our sailors boys lay
Down to sleep, on
Board our battle ship-the Maine.
The night was calm,
The stars shone bright,
Der land and sea.
Trusting in God, and
Our country's flag DER head;
With silent prayers for
Loved ones far away,
They went to sleep
o God, to sleepl
To sleep for ever more
Two hundred and sixty six
Victims of Spanish treachery-
Down in Havana Harbor.
Their bodies lie in
Spanish mud, with buzzards
Flying DER our dead.
The walls of mothers
Rend the skies aud
Tears Of sweethearts food the
land.
Awake! Arisel My country,
Men of the North, South, East,
And West, clasp hands,
Turn loose the dogs
or war and drive
Old treacherous Spain from
Ouba's land, and off the Maine.
Move to the front,
Dear Uncle Sam, unfurl our fac
Let cannon boom on land and sea!
Til SPANS torpedo fleets
No more, and Cuban land is free.

LEE WILL RETURN TO HAVANA
BUT AT THE HEAD OF VIRGINIA
VOLUNTEERS.
Commander of the Forces of the Old
Dominion When the Call Is Made
Special Act Contemplated.

New York. April 15.-The president
has decided to give Consul General Lee
the command of the Virginia volunteers
in the event that hostilities break out
between this country and Spain, says
the Washington correspondent of the
World. This decision was reached after
a conference with Secretary Alger and
number of military men.
The matter was first preached by a
friend of the president. who suggested
that IL would be good plan to give
Lee a command of some sort in case
of war. The president consulted with
several friends, who advised him that
it would be impossible to appoint him
to a command in the regular army.
The president, who is a. staunch ad-
mirer of General Lee, was nonplussei
Finally the announcement was made
from the war department that in the
event that volunteers were called for
the president would appoint all officers
that would be appointed from
the various states from which the vol
unteers were received. When the call
is issued in Virginia, General Lees state
Will furnish her quota, and the presi-
dent will designate General Lee as the
commander of the forces from. the Old
Dominion.
Owing to General Lees great knowl-
edge of the typographical condition OF
the island of Cuba. it is more than
likely that his command will be given
orders to at once proceed to Cuba. Gen
eral Lee has announced his Willingness
to return to Havana at the mead of an
invading army. and doubtless he will
be allowed to go upon the outbreak of
hostilities.
A member of the senate proposes to
introduce a special act under which the
president may appoint General Lee

BRADsTREET's REVIEW.
Perceptible Quieting Down of Trade
For Future ENGAGEMENTS.

New York, April 15.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: The effect of the pre-
Vailing uncertainties in foreign affairs
is reflected in a further perceptible
Quieting down of general trade, so far
as future engagements are concerned,
in nearly all parts of the country.
While there is little more activity TO
be noted in the demand for seasOnable
staples at the west and northwest
where better weather has helped retail
and wholesale trade alike, rather more
quiet is reported at the east and at the
South Atlantic and gulf ports. where
the interruption to business has be-
come particularly serious owing to the
foreign controversy. The least notable
effects yet exhibited are found in the
central west, where distributive de-
mand and movement is reported of a
seasonable character, the only changes
noted, in fact, being the Strengthening
or money rates and the discoura ge-
ment of enterprises In the iron trade
business continues of large volume, but
the bulk of this is claimed to be on
account of orders previously booked
ana new business, where noted, is for
small individual lots. Price weakness
is more marked also than for some time
past.
