II General Fitzhugll Lee were to tell a
Times dispatch reporter exactly what he
thinks Of Senator Sanguily. the leader OF
the strong anti -Americanp party In the
Cuban Senate, the Interview would mako
about as warm reading as has been
printed In any live paper in a long time.
General Lee Is not given to disg using
his feelings when he talks, and he doubt
less would say some entirely unequvocal
things about Major Sanguiy. for that
was the present Senator's rank IN the
Cuban revolutionary army.
1t was while Sanguily was In the army
and General Lee was the American Con-
sui at Havana that the two met. San
gully was captured and sentenced to be
executed. He. claimed to be some sort
OF an American citizen, and General Lee
appealed to General Weyler or General
Blanco to commute the sentence. me
appeal was not successful. and then Gem
eral Lee reported the matter to the State
Department. Mr.. Olney who was then
Secretary OF State, at once took up the
case. After vigorous demands had been
made by this government Sanguily was
released and allowed to go back to the
United States, but his solemn pledge was
taken that he would not again take
part in tho revolution. l y E5s
lie came to this country. and after
staying up around New York for while.
went down to Florida. He was q well.
known figure in the Cuban tunta at
Jacksonville. It wasn't long before the
State Department again heard OF this
American citizen. who was captured
dition into Cuba. Though he had violated
his parole. the State. 2 Department. again
set to work to secure his rcleasef It was
g. pretty difficult matter, but finally he
was given up and returned to the United
States. do not know that he took any
part in the war when the United States
set about freeing Cuba; perhaps he called
Ito mind that old parole and made It ef.

when real fighting was begun,

the party In Cuba which Is most violently
opposed to America. II the reciprocity
