LEE MAY OCCUPY HAVANA.
Friends of the General Would Have Him
Succeed Blanco.


Washington, Oct. 3.-Major General
Fitzhugh Lee was at the war depart
ment. If there is no pressure for his
immediate return to Jacksonville he in
tends, after going to New York for a
short visit, to spend few days in the
Virginia mountains upon the recon-
mcndation of his physician. General
Lee has been suffering somewhat from
malaria.
In official circles there seems no doubt
that General Lee is scheduled to go to
Cuba Some question has arisen. how
ever, as to the post In Cuba that he
will occupy. Quite a number Of public
men. and probably General Lee himself,
would prefer that his command go to
Havana. Some sentiment is In the
matter and many persons have ex-
pressed the hope that as Blanco march,
es out General Lee might march into
the city. A number of men in official
life have already interested themselves
In this subject and will urge the presi-
dent to issue his orders for the occu-
patton of Cuba with this end in view.

Nashville. Tenn. Oct. S.-Postmaster
Wills received letter from General
Shafter, dated Camp Wikoff, Sept. 26.
In which he says of newspaper attacks
upon him:
'The attacks Of the yellow press upon
me and others of the administration are
simply outrageous. The articles are
filled with untruths. beginning with the
one that I was responsible for the
equipment Of the army with Springfield
rifles. which you and every other sensi-
BILE man knows is a lie. The behavior
Of some Of the yellow journalists was
so outrageous before we even got into
Cuba that I had to put my hand on
them, and after we got into Cuba II
was still worse. Their letters are the
result of personal spite. II had come
back with defeated army there might
have been some excuse for their talk.

Zuni Witch Batting.

New York Journal; Some nine months
ago the princess of Zuni We-Wa died
after lingering Illness, and an old
suuaw of the New Mexican town was
accused of killing her by some spell.
She was tried by priests, the governor
of the tribe and the most principal peo-
pie and sentenced to death. In order
first to determine her guilt she was car
ried to one OF the rooms of the city and
cast OFF. The theory of the priests was
that II she We're n witch she would un-
furl her wings and fly away, and IL
she were innocent she would eXonerate
herself by being killed. The old woman
was not killed by the fall. and she was
then taken to post and strung up by
her thumbs. When she could no longer
endure the agony she confessed to hav-
ing killed the queen.
The witch of Zuni found n friend,
however, in a missionary In that region
who cared for her and reported the af-
fair at Washington. When the troops
arrived they found two of the priests
in the hands of. the sheriff on being
tried each Of the four was held in s5,-
900 bail to appear at the February term
OF the grand jury In default of bail
the men are confined in prison,
and they will probably be convicted
and sent to the penitentlary for tell
years
