GENERAL LEE DECLARES CUBA
SHOULD HAVE BEEN ANNEXED

New York. Dec. 13.-Gen. Fitshugh
Leo addressed the members Of the Pa
tria Club last night on THE United
States and Cuba" He said ip part:
Cuba never was SO well governed
by Spain as she is to-day. Congress
wcar1ed OF the wars In Cuba and
passed resolutions recognizing the
right Of bclligerency OF tho revolution
lists. Then came tho war.
II want to say that I reported to
President Cleveland the exact condi-
tion Of affairs that existed there. l
reported the rebellion. with all Its bru-
talities and horrors. and told him that
II would continue for several genera
tions II not brought to speedy end.
Mr.. Cleveland gave NO attention to my
reports. and It was not until that great
man now sleeping his last sleep In
Canton. Ohio. took charge Of Affairs in
Warrington that these atrocious con-
ditions were brought to an end.
Cuba Is well worthy the attention
Of the American people. It Is the rich
est spot on Gods green earth. No
country can ever rival Cuba In tts
products. II we had not sacrificed wis
dom for sentiment we would own Cuba
to-day. When We did have Cuba We
should have held onto It. but some OF
the people wanted to show the world
that they were acting for humanity's
sake and not for the possession OF ter
ritory.
''Prior to the war with Spain. when
! Was consul general In Cuba. there
were repeated attempts to assassinate
me. Wherever ! went had to sit
with INV back tn the wull and my
hand on my six-shootc.. ! received

string me up to the nearest lamp post
and still others to tie me to horses
tall and drag me around the streets OF
Havana. Five Spanish women called
at my ONCE one afternoon and handed
me q letter from some Spanish onicers
in which they threatened to come to
my once. tie me hand and foot. put me
aboard the Maine and drive me out OF
the harbor. received reports that
even the Cubans wanted to kill me
because they believed that by doing 30
war with the United States would
surely result.

current. . man came into my office one
day with the purpose. as thought. OF

where he came from. and he said. In

Funston. So you see l had much TO do
with the latter capturing Asuinaldo.
General Lee then recitcd the Incl
dents OF the blowing up OF the Maine
and told Of General Blanco's action al
ter the catastrophe.
Il want to say here and for all
time" he continued. that General
Blnnco and his officers had no more
to do with the blowing up OF the
Maine than had the people Of New
York City. II is my belief that some
Of the young officers left In the arsenal
by General wcylcr blew up the Maine.

the mine that sent the Maine to Its de-
atrtctiOn"

Shame is test Of character. The
feeling of shame is one which every
body understands, because it is one
which everybody has experienced.
Probably there is no one so stepped in
degradation that he has wholly lost
the sense of shame: certainly there is
no one SO near perfection as to have
no cause for it. No one is too high or
too low to be affected by it, and what
ever be its cause, the emotion itself is
invariably painful one. In differ
ent degrees and for different reasons
it affects the heart OF the schoolboy at
his play and the Judge upon the
bench; it brings blush to the cheek
of the maiden in her closet, and dims
the pride of the soldier on the battle
field. While it seems a specially fit.
ting emotion for the coward or the
crir NAL, it sometimes strikes a fal
deeper pang on the hero or the saint
1t is not the one who most deserves
its infection who most surely suffers
from it; sensitive nature will often
be keenly alive to its sting, when an
pbtuse one will feel not the slighte st
psng.
