LEE And CLEVELAND,

We have received the following commu-
ication:
i.iitor of The Times:
Shin your report of General Fitz-
ugh Lees New York speech on the
United States and Cuba, you make him
say:
/ want to say that represented to
resident Cleveland the exact condition
{ affairs that existed there. ! reported
ne rebellion, with all its brutaNties anu
,orrors and told him that it would con-
nue for several generations If not
,,cught to a speedy end. Mr. Cleveland
ave no attention TO my reports and II
vas not until that great man now Steep
~ his last sleep in Canon. O., took
barge Of affairs in Washington that
hesc atrocious conditions were brought
an end.
Now. isn't it true. and does not General
ZEE know It to be q fact, that Mckinney
id everything in his power to avert the
gar which ultimately freed Cuba even
INTO opposing an open declaration of
,alligerency? And wasn't it Congress
axe. the Democrats in Congressional
creed a declaration of war?
l.eastways, that is what !, in common
a.;th others. gathered at the the time
from The Times and its contemporaries.
Will you kindly enlighten an unsuspect-
re public on this Important point?
ROBERT GARDNER.
Pulaski City. December 18th.
Our correspondent has correctly stated
ne case 1t was the boast Of Democrats
at the time that they compelled President
Mckinley to espouse Cuba's cause. We
would oetract nothing from the fame OF
Mckinley. but we are at a loss to under
stand why General Lee should have drawn
this invidious distinction between the he
PUBLICAN President and the Democratic
President. clarifying the one and slurring
at the other.

to look six years in the face with COM

Taking view Of the Venezuelan trou-
bles that, goes beyond the present. the
Newport News Press says:
Who knows what the next few years
may bring forth? 1t must be admitted
that the situation is full Of startling pos
sibiiities, and it is well that this country
is fairly prepared to meet almost any
emergency that may aiise.

EeIls His Story of His Whereabouts the
Night Mrs. bailey Was
Murdered.

Evansville. Ind, Oct. 23.-EX-POlice-

Thursday and told his story of his
whereabouts on the night of the muir
der of Mrs. Railey, Nov. II. He said
he was out with his surrey on, The
night in question, as that was the last
night of his furlough. He denied he
was under the influence of liquor. He
said he hitched his horse at street
corner and went to an opera house,
remained there until after the show,
and then went to his home. Sherwell
denied that he was with Mrs. Railey
or another woman that night. He said
he knew Mrs. Railev. but that he had
not seen her for several months before
she was murdered.
He said he had no motive for kill
ing the woman. as he had no ill will
against her and knew her but slight
ly. He met her when he first came to
Evansville, seven or eight years ago.
SherwelI made fine witness. and not
once was the state able to shake his
testimony upon croSS-eXamination. He
was on the stand two hours or more.
The case will probably not get to the
