DEATH OF BRIG. -GENERALLEE.
PASSED AWAY AT PROVI
DENCE HOSPITAL.
He Suecumbs to Apoplexy With
Which He Is Stricken
En- Route to Wash
fngton.

Brigadier General Fitzhugh Lee. u.
$. Army, died last night at H. 20 at
Providence Hospital, Washington,
ID. q.
He was stricken with apoplexy at
about O'Clock yesterday morning
while on a train en- route from Boston
to Washington and insisted on being
carried to the end of his journey He
reached there at 10 O'Clock Yesterday
morning and was removed to the hos.
pital. where he died.
General Lee was one of the moving
spirits in the jamestown exposition
project. He was president of the ex-
position company and has been work
ing constantly, and with marked sdc-
cess. in it's behalf. He made several
trips and appeared before the legisla-
tures of Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and New York seeking state appropri-
ations for the exposition.
General Lee was in Boston Thursday
to advocate the representation of Mass
achusetts at the exposition in 1907.
He appeared before the legislative
committee on federal relations in the
afternoon and made strong address
in favor OF having Massachusetts erect
state building at Jamestown. He
left Thursday evening apparently in
his usual health. He was sixty eight
years old and always enjoyed robust
nealth. However, he has led an ex-
oepUionally active life. He served in
Indian wars on the Mexican border,
was in the Confederate army during
the Civil War and his conspicuous
service in the Spanish war is current
history.
His distinguished ancestry, his bril-
liant record as soldier in both the
Confederate and United States armies
aud his mastery administration as
Consul General at Havana during the
exciting period leading up to the
Spanish American war made General
Lee conspicuous as a man among men.
He was born November 10, 1885, at
Clermont, Fairfax county, Va. He
was the son of Commodore Sydney
Smith Lee, who was the third SON of
General Henry Lee, popularity known
as Light Horse Harry Lee -
General Fitzhugh Lee was nephew
of the late General Robert K. Lee and
followed the fortunes of his distin-
guished uncle and of his native state
in the Civil War, but accepted, as
did the former, all the results Of the
war, and since Appomattox, has served
Virginia ana MS country fnu num-
ber of important official capacities.
To him perhaps as much as to any
other man may be credited that firm
reuniting of the North and South,
which existed even before the war
with Spain. disproving a favorite the
0ry abroad that the United States of
America was q conglomerate nation
held together by a rope ofssand.
During the session of the Maryland
Legislature in 1903 he came here and
talked to the members of the Legis-
lature about the proposed Jamestown
Exposition. At that time he was a
guest of Governor Warfield at the Ex-
ecutive Mansion. Governor Warfield
served under General Lee during the
Civil War and bore a striking personal
resemblance to him, and the Governor
was taken for General Lee in the in
augural parade at Washington on
March 4.

As result of his unmentionabIe act
one horse owned by Mr.. William II.
Nansant, City Commissioners, died this
morning and another horse is diving.
The crime. committed ON two of the
best mares in the stable, is beyond
imagination In community where
crime has been reduced TO minimum
nothing, at least of the revolving ma.
tnre OF this crime. was ever imagined.
Many of the persons who have heard
OF the oTfense expressed the hone that
the man who had committed the crime
would not be arrested, but would at
tempt TO escape from the arresting Off.
Ger. The expression of opinion was OBJ
vious. 1t was not till late hour that
Mr.. Nansant left the office on West
street. The barn was not locked. but
the stable gate was fastened When
one of the drivers for Mr.. Vansant en-
tered the stable at an early hour this
morning he found one of the horses
dying and the other in a very serious
condition.
In spite of every effort to aid them
one of the horses died at . O'Clock and
the other was soon in such condition
that little hope was entertained for its
recovery. Suspicion points in Ger.
tain direction and if further develop.
ments Justify, an arrest will shortly
be made.
