MRS. FITzHUGH LEE.
Wife of the New Major General of
Volunteers.

From the Chicago Times Herald
''The best thing a woman can do is
to stay in her own home and care for
her family always. If contest should be
prolonged, there might be other things to
do"
Thus spoke Mrs. Fitzhugh Lee, wi1en
asked her opinion as TO the best way in
which women could help during this time
of war.
Mrs. Lee is a handsome woman. who
shrinks from publicity, but who could tell
wonderfully interesting things if she chose.
The first winter after Gen. Lee was APP
pointed consul to Havana she and their
daughter, Ellen, lived there with nim.
Now Mrs. Lee says she is sorry she was
not there during last winter too. There
was the strain of suspense and worry, not
knowing what evil thing might happen 10
her husband in that troublous period; the
fear that some fanatic might put a knife
into him from behind on some dark night;
the knowledge that peril was always i'm
minent. She had lived long enough i'm Ha-
vana to be able to dread the worst
Il met no wives of Spanish officials when
/ was in Cuba" explained Mrs. Lee, for
the excellent reason that there were none
there but we grew to know few charm
ing Cuban women and their families. The
men we're always away, you know, and the
women preferred to remain at home, be-
cause if they attracted any attention they
were likely to suffer unpleasantness, and
were liable even to arrest. OF course, we
could not meet the insurgents, but / some
times saw them brought as prisoners,
bound, through the streets, the ropes cut
ting into their wrists. While / was in
Havana Weyler's famous edict was issued,
and the people were driven from their
homes into the city to starve. And small
pox! You often met it right in the streets
before vaccination was made compulsory"
Mrs. Lee did not meet with the same
amount of adventures in Havana that a
more daring spirit might nave done, be-
cause Gen. Lee believed that the place of
a wife is always in her home, and he re-
fused TO let Mrs. Lee visit the other and
more dangerous parts of the island.
That Mrs. Lees inclinations agree with
those of her husband is evident She does
not belong to so much as a woman's club
Of any kind, not even 20 a sewing circle.
There rs just one organization to which
she has lent her name, and that is one
formed for the preservation Of Virginlan
Antiquities. Mrs. Lee is a Virginlan by
birth, as was her father and when Gen.

understands a great deal of political af-
fairs and movements nevertheless.
Another evidence of punctiliousness is
that she is trying to answer by her own
hand every one of the hundreds of letters
she has received from the women of Amer
lea during the time that Gen. Lee was in
danger in Cuba. Most of these letters
were from women she did not know, per-
haps had never heard of, letters from the
humblest as we'll as from the highest in
the land, letters on crested and mono
grained paper, and letters poorly written
and misspelled.

SHOT HIS SISTER.
a Nine-Ycar-oId BOY Kills Ills Sister
Aged Eleven.

Thursday Afternoon about o'clock,
says the Atlanta Constitution. Lee Baker.
aged 9, pointed rifle at his sister, Sallle,
aged II, and In another moment the little
girl was lying corpse upon the floor,
while the blood and brains oozed from a
wound in her head.
The tragedy occurred at the home OF MIR.
L. p. Baker, a dairyman, who lives one
mile north of Ben EIll and nine miles
from Atlanta, and the little boy and the
girl were his children
Mrs. Baker decided yesterday morning 20
do the spring cleaning, and hired two me-
gro women TO do the work. In getting the
rooms ready two guns. one a double-bar-
reed shotgun and the other a 32-calLDer
Marlin rife, were laid upon one Of the
beds. Mrs. Baker went 10 visit neigh
Dor, and the neighbours little girl, Lizzie
Kate Sheats, called to see Sallie Baker.
Mr.. Baker was in the field blowing.
The Sheats child sat in "A chair in the
same room where the guns lay upon the
bed, and Sallie began to comb and braid
her friends hair Lee Baker like most
boys, became very noisy and leased the
little girls. His sister demonstrated with
him and said:
Lee, stop your fuss or IN go and call
father"
The little boy laughed and picked up the
rifle.
'If you don't hush" he said jokingly,
''I'lI shoot YOU" a the same time pointing
the rifle at his sister. There was a sharp
report and Sallie fell forward, and as
she did so she clutched the dress OF her
little baby sister who was standing at
her side watching her use the comb and
brush. without even a moan the child
sank to the floor and was dead when the
two negro women ran into the room and
attempted to lift her up.
The little boy was frantic when he found
that he had killed his sister and moth
ing that his parents could say to him as
suaged his grief.
Mr.. Baker has six children, there being
two oder than the one which met such a
tragic fate. Last night an uncle of the
dead child came into the city and ar
ranged with Messrs. Hillburn & Bowden
for the funeral which will occur this af-
ternoon.
Mr.. Baker thinks the rife with which
the shooting was done was left cooked by
the person who last used IL, or ii may
have been cooked when placed on the
bed. The little boy is positive that he did
not touch the hammer
The ball from the rifle struck the child
on the right side of the head, piercing
the ear, and passed entirely through the
brain. Death was instantaneous,

Iand-9O Per Cent. OF the People
Are Negroes.
From the Chicago Record
In the discussions concerning the Danish
ment of the Spanish flag from American
territory we have heard nothing about the
Island Of Porto Rico, which, of course, is
less important than Cuba, but is neverthe-
less the most beautiful, fertile and produc-
tive of all the Antilles. Compared with
Cuba it is very small-not so large as the
smallest of the six provinces into which
the former island is divided. II is only
ninety miles long from tip to tip and thir-
ty-six broad at the broadest part. The
total area is $3.50 square miles-one-third
smaller than Connecticut and not quite
twice as large as Delaware.
The configuration of the island is differ
ent from that of Cuba. The land rises i'm
mediately from the seashore into a group
of hills and mountains, eliminating in a
peak 3,67S feet high. These mountains are
covered with magnificent timber and inter-
sected with lovely valleys watered by run
ming streams, with deep rich soil that
produces luxuriant crops of all tropical
staples. 1t is said TO be even more fer
tile than that of Cuba, if such thing
were possible; but owing 10 the hills and
the rocks the proportion of the land sus-
ceptible TO cultivation is very much small
er. The chief products are sugar, tobac-
co, coffee. rice, cotton and fruit Of all
kinds. and the arabic land is pretty well
taken up. There are supposed to be very
rich mineral deposits. Gold, iron conner
lead, salt and anthony have been found
and some of the mines have been worked
for 200 or 300 years with a profit but agri-
culture has paid so much better that the
mineral resources have been left undevel-
oped. The timber upon the mountains Is
extremely valuable. being composed OF the

Precautions Taken at Every Port to
Prevent Any Unforeseen Event.
From the New York Tribune.
San francisco. May 4.-Extraordinary pre-
cautions are taken by the officers of the
Oregon at every port visited on her jour
ney to join Admiral SIMPSONS fleet. at
Key West. This is known by a letter re-
ceived here to-day from an officer of the
ship. 1t was written at Callao. AS soon as
a port was approached sentries were dou-
bled at every point of observation, all ar
preaching boats We're warned off, frequent
soundings were taken. and when a suita-
bic place was found the anchor was drop
ped.
As soon as the anchor cable had fnrhed
rafting through the hawse holes two
steam launches, manned by well-armed
marines, were lowered over the side. The
launches then steamed IN opposite direc-
tons around the battle ship, never ceasing
their constant patrol night or day, until
the anchor was once more weighed.
Throughout the stay in port nobody ex-
cept port officials was permitted to come
anywhere near the battle ship, and even
they were compelled to show their creden-
tails and explain their business to the Wig
liant launch crews before being allowed
alongside.
Capt. Clark was determined, the writer
said, to take no chances. His orders were
strict, and we're being carried out night
and day with all the vigilance that we'll
