FOR LEE AND FUNSTON.
Battery Ordered to Fire Salute
on Friday.

Adjutant General Fox has issued an
order to battery B to fire the brigadier
generals salute of IL guns on Friday,
in honor of General Fitzhugh Lee and
General Frederick Funston, who will
both be in Topeka. The firing will COM
mence at p. m, the hour for the re-
ception at the governors mansion.
General Funston and General Lee are
expected to arrive about noon, though
General Funston Will come on the
Santa Fe and General Lee on the Rock
Island.
General Lees lecture on Peace and
War in the United States and Cuba"
is being very favorably received. The
following extracts are from the Louis
vile Courier-Journal:
General Lees lecture was in a way a
rapid review of the history of the Unit
ed States as to it's bearings on Cuba,
but he richly interlarded this with de-
lightful sketches and incidents.
Bright side lights We're thrown on the
country's early history. The giant fig
ures of the revolution were brought out
in bold relief. As an example, in speak
ing of jefferson, he said:
He was the best educated man that
ever sat in the White House. He was
also musician, and when his house at
Shadwell was burned, the first question
he asked the negro who brought him
= Did YOU save the booksl"
:. No, Marse Tom, 1 saved your fiddle
suh'
Mr.. Jefferson made no complaint"
Then General Lee let out another
rap and took up the Cuba of the
present. and at this point he said:
lamentations should come from the
Cubans-not from the Americans"
General Lee made a very striking
comment on Mr.. Cleveland:
when Mr.. Cleveland sent me in 1896
as consul general to Havana, he told
me that / knew something of civil and
military matters, and that he wanted
this kind of information about Cuba
We'll. I got into the Cuban business
up to my thToat-latch- In three weeks
I saw that we must interfere. and 1 so
reported to Mr.. Cleveland, and told hi n
that our war with Spain would not last
more than three or four months.
Mr.. Cleveland then had about eight
months more to serve. The black finan-
cial cloud was lowering. If he had
brought the issue to a head. with the
certain result Of victory, it is a conun-

The Joint conference of miners and
