Wheat hit him hard II year later. and

| Washington, April 13.--At 10 O'Clock
Joint committee from the Union
veteran League and the Confederate
veteran association of the District
OF Columbia, called on Consul General
Lee at the Shoreham Hotel and in
vited him to attend public reception
day.
In response the general said that he
would rather not have reception. The
people of Washington had been very
Kind to him and he appreciated their
kindness. He was very tired. how
ever, and would much prefer to rest
while in Washington 1t was explained
that there would be no hand shaking
except with the ladies. and the only
speech that would be permitted would
be brief address of welcome by Cor
poral Tanner. The old soldiers in line
would give him the military salute
instead of shaking hands, and alto
gether the reception would be made
very easy for him. 1t was stated fur
Their that the citizens of Washington
were extremely anxious to meet him
ana out of difference to their wishes
the committee thought the general
should waive his objections.
He said he thought it unwise to APP
pear in so public manner To an ap-
peal from an old comrade that he could
AFFORD to surrender once in his life. es
pecially to his friends and admirers.
the general finally consented 10 held
the matter in allegiance until 1889
o'clock tomorrow, when he would give
the committee his answer. Several
members OF the committee afterwards

should not appear in this public way
at this TING. His appearance, they
said, might be mlsinterpreted and give
rise to criticism. 1t Is altogether prob
able that the reception will not be
held.
During the committees conference
with Gen. Lee, Senior Palma, the head
of the Cuban junta in New York, and
Senior Quesada, their Washington rep
resentative, We're introduced. The
general shook hands with them in
formal way but said nothing.
Gen. Lee said that as soon as he had
breakfasted he would go to the state,
war and navy departments. to call
upon the officials. Further than that
he made no plans. He did not expect
to appear before any of the congress
sional committees today.
Gen. Lee was very hoarse owing to |
the open air speeches he has been COM |
PEELED to make during the last few |
days.
At noon Gen. Lee visited the navy |
department at the invitation OF the |
strategic board. with whom he con. |
suited. He was with the strategic |
board until lis o'clock. At the con> |
clusion of the meeting it was stated |
by those present that Gen. Lee and the |
members OF the board had gone over
the entire question of offensive and |
defensive movements in the event of |
hostilities, but no details, of course, |
were obtainable.

Is not dieting the usual and best
treatment to cure indigestion?
No, because the dyspeptic has been

What Is the best method of cure?
