Hartford, Conn, April 15.-General
Fitzhugh Lee, who appeared before
the Connecticut general assembly this
week in behalf of an appropriation for
the Jamestown exposition, said that
while consul at Havana he came near
killing General Frederick Funston, be-
lieving him to be bent upon assassin
alton
Just before the Maine was blown up
Gen. Lee received many threats that
he would be killed and was in daily
fear of his life. Soon after being
warned of a plot to slay him the
American consul got one of the worst
scares in his life.
He was alone in his Office when the
door opened and one of the worst look
ing faces he had ever seen looked in
at him. The man had long hair, I'M
kempt beard, and a gaunt appearance.
His hat was full of holes, shoes about
all gone, and he had no clothing APP
parently but a linen duster. He APP

half of last week was dry, cool and
favorable for field work. On Thurs

been made in preparation OF ground
for corn and a large area is now ready
for the planters The ground is still
cold, the soil thermometer at the state
college farm registering 80 degrees at
depth Of six inches.
The refreshing effects of showers
and warmer weather are noted in pas
lures, meadows and grain fields.
Though growth Of vegetation has
been retarded by cold nights, the sea
son Is still relatively early. The pas
lures are forward and foliage is vel
advanced for the time of the year. The
general crop outlook is promising.
