THE OTHER LEE

Seated in the dining room of the
Ingleterre hotel, Havana, one
evening early in April 1898, were
hat score of Americans, mostly
newspaper correspondents, sur
rounded Consul General Lee each
demanding of him when war would
be declared.
General Lee was evasive and
finally, to check the flood of ques-
tions, dropped into "reminiscences
of the civil war.
"You boys don't seen to realize, "
he said, that this is sad an
niversary for me. Yet in view of
everything that has happened l
don't know why should call it sad.
While I am proud of the struggle
we of the south made and while, had
we to do it over again, history would
repeat itself, l am glad today that
God reigns and the government
at Washington still lives.
at is just thirty-three years ago
tonight that led my cavalry in a
forlorn hope south of Richmond.
1t has been said that left the army
with my men without the consent
and approval of my uncle, General
Robert E. Lee. That is not true,
although it is true that he sent for
me to return when he learned that
General Grants generous terms
depended upon his ability to SUI
render the entire army.
The last stand had been made,
and we fought the last fight we
were capable of entering. For
months we had seen the end ap-
proach, hoping against hope that a
miracle would intervene to save the
confederacy. At last it became ap-
parent that the end could no longer
be delayed. When General Lee an
nounced to us his decision to accent
the best terms for the surrender of
the army that could be obtained
from General Grant, asked and
received from him permission to
skirt Richmond with my cavalry, or
what was left of it, and make my
way south, cutting a road through
the Union forces if necessary.
Il was a very young man in those
days and hope died hard. My
thought was if / could take my boys
out Of the trap we might form
nucleus about which the south
could once more rally.
My uncle expressed the opinion
that the adventure was foolhardy.
but finally gave a reluctant consent
So it happened that just thirty
three years ago tonight with my
men / rode south and by daybreak
was safely beyond the Union lines.
"As I have said, in those days
was very young man. l thought
