Fitzhugh Lee OH Cuba.

WAssllNGroS, October 29.-Gcn.
Fitzhugh Lee. who is in the United
States ON Il vacation from his post in
Cuba. is in the city on his way south.
He is accompanied by his son. To-
morrow night Gen. Lee expects to go
to Richmond to witness the launching
of the Shubrick. but will return to
Washington Oh Wednesday. In an IN
tcrvicw he says the people OF CUBA arc
steadily improving under the existing
protcctorutc of the United States, and
arc slowly, but surely, rebuilding their
war wasted homes and repairing their
crippled fortunes. Life and property
are secure in Cuba. owing largely, he
said, to the salutary restraint exercised
by American military authority. He
thinks the time not yet ripe, however,
for purely Cuban government.
"Cuba," said Gen. Lee, sis improving.
The Cubans are tractablc and quiet,
and the revolution has given them self
assurance and sclf-reliancc.. Iheir
impulses are generally in the right dl-
rcction, but, of course, both lnthe the
DRY aud practice OF self-govcrnment
they are wholly without experience.
There is among certain CNDalo 't ucoP
seated prejudice against some men,
who, the Cmbans think, oppressed Gu
bans under Spanish rule, and if given a
free rein the Cubans wonld ma kc short
work of them. The United States
Government is pledged to grant indie
pcndcncr to Cuba after the island has
been pacilicd. and believe that prom
Use should be fulfilled Just rs swift y us
we can in reason and Justice
"rhc industrial situation is improv-
ing and money is gradually going into
Cuba. but nothing like as fast as it
would il Investors were sure that prop
crty would remain sale for years to
come and be protected by Il Govern,
mcnt strong enough to enforce law and
order"
Gen. Lee declined to discuss political
affairs in Cub, and whether or not the
Cubans desired independence oranncN-
ntinn.

The States Watered Liquor.

BARNwELL, S. c., October 29.-The
monstrosity produced by Tillman's per-
version of the GothenburS plan OF
liouor selling is resulting in general
political nausea even among the faith
ful, except as to those whose stomachs
are unusually strong and 100 proof
against political and moral putrescencc
of all kinds.
1t is remarked as somewhat peculiar
that QUITS, who has anatomized the
dispensary skeleton with the minute
ness of detail of Defoe in his account
of the London plague, has not touched
on the watering OF the liquor. Col. D..
i. Brown. of this place, and another
wrote letter last year or the year
before to Commissioner Vance, lnqulr-
ing as to the truth of the report that
they watcred the whislley before bot
Ting.
Vance replied, eyes, it was true, but
that the water was chemically. pure,
being carefully boiled before adding to
the liquor" He said, "They added
one barrel of water to every four bar
rels of 100 proof liquor" The natural
question that then arose but which
Mr.. Vance never solved was, Who
got the profit on the 100 gallons OF
water to every 400 gallons OF whlskey SO
treated?
In the board OF controls accounts
with the State did they credit the
State with the surplus so gained, or, II
not, where did this immense sum OF
money find lodgment?-Specidl to News
and Courier.

= At Muncie, Ind, Miss Goldie Coch-
ran, aged IA, struck burglar in her
backed hair brush, and the unknown
man will die as the result. The man
was detected carrying valuable clock
from the residence, when the girl COM

= City Councilman j. L. Reilly, of

Antonio, Tex, Mr.. Reilly stopped
runaway team, probably saving the
life of the driver, q wealthy farmer OF
Palmer, Texas, named John Wallace.
His arm was so badly injured in the
struggle that for time amputation
was thought to be necessary, but even
tually it healed. On Saturday Mr..
Reilly received notice from San An
tonic that Mr.. Wallace had died and
left him a legacy of SS0,000.
If you are good guesser, or have
any inside facts on the cotton crop for
1899-19O0 there is a good chance to
make $1,000. S. Mum, Son & co, a
large cotton brokerage establishment
of New York, doing business at 56
Beaver street, makes the offer OF this
reward. The estimate OF the crop that
will be used by the firm in selecting
the winner will be the one that will be
made up by the New York Chronicle.
The person guessing nearest to the
Chronicles estimate will get the
money. All guesses must be mailed
by noon November 25, and addressed
to S. Mum, Son & Co, statistic depart
ment, Sc Beaver street, New York.
"A peculiar theft is reported from
five miles down the Augusta road.
Mr.. Bud Ward had about 500 pounds
of seed cotton lying in a pile in the
field, and Monday morning about day
light some one drove a two horse
wagon into the field and took the
entire pile. The wagon went into the
Fork Shoals road, but no further trace
Off has been found.-GreenciNe Moun-
