FAMOUS SCENE AT APPOMATTOX He Predicts That the South Will Continue Solid. ARMY ADVENTURES —_—_—>_— (Copyrighted, 1896, by Frank G. Carpenter.) EFORD THIS LET- ter is published Gen- eral Fitzhugh Lee will be in Havana acting as the Amer- ican consul gener- al and also as per- sonal confidential 2d- -viser to President Cleveland as to the Cuban troubles. He will for the time have the most im- portant diplomatic post under our gov- ernment, and he ts, I believe, especially fitted for the position. General Lee is a ran of high culture, a soldier of experi- erce, ard his life has been spent in dealing with public men and affairs. I spent a morning with him here in Wash- ington shortly before his appointment, and had a chat with him about himself and public matters. Just before meeting him I had finished looking over his “Life of Robert E. Lee,” and our talk cr this brought out some of his own war expe- riences which have never been given to the Public. He has, you know, had some of the most narrow escapes of any man now ilv- ing. Three horses were shot from under him at the baitle of Winchester, and he has been wounded again and again, both in his Indian service and in the war of the rebellion. Pen Picture of Fitzhugh Lee. As I looked at General Lee I could not realize that he had been through so many perfls. His modest, unassuming manner does not comport with the idea of battle scars, and it 1s hard to associate his !ow, sweet voice with that which in stentorian tones gave the orders to the bri w der him when he was the chief alry general of the southern confederacy. His pletures give you but little idea of the man. You need the colors of a Titlan or a Rubens to bring his char. istle features. Gen. Lee has a complexion of that delicate red and white which shows the veins running here and there :hrough it. His eyes sre of the brightest biue, and his head makes you think of a piece of fine china thatched and bearded with the purest of frosted silver. He has a strik- ing face. His forehead is high and_ full, his nose straight and his jaw firm. He 1s under medium height, and though his form is well rounded, it is muscular rather than fat. He stands as straight as a West Point cadet, and though he is now sixty he moves about with ail the vitality that he showed when he was in the regular army in Texas about forty years ago. Fitehugh Lee’s Great Indian F I found Gen. Lee very loath to talk at himself, and I had to ask many qu to draw hiin out. During the talk his ser- vice in Texas as a lieutenant came up, and I showed him a statement which his friend and ¢ Lee took part. y in the regu- lar army 8, I am told, very anxious to take him with him to Cuba, but owing to the rules of the service was not able to accomplish his end. He read the statement very refuliy, and said that it was sultant! correct. The incident occurred in 1860. Fitzhugh Le a licu- tenant at the time and Hayes was a bugler. Both were in service at Colorado, Texas, whet. the scouts reported ( Indians had massacred som by. The offi commanding, Maj. Van Dorn, at once took Lee, He and other soldiers and started in pursait of the In- dtans. It was in the winter, and {t was snowing hard. They march xty-e! miles in less than two days, and finally came upon the Indians on a ridge of timber. During the charge the troops be- came separated, Fitzhugh Lee and Hayes going togetner in pursuit of two Ind‘ans who were making for the timber. They killed one before they reached the woods, and followed the other for several miles through the trees, There was :nuch snow on the ground, and they could see his tracks. Finally they came out of the woods and In the distance.saw him hiding behind @ ledge of rock. Lee at once rushed to- ward him, firing as he ran. ‘The Indian shot an arrow at Lee. It struck him, pass- ing through his arm and breaking off. A moment later the Indian, who was a chief of more than six feet in height, jumped for Lee and tried to stab him. Lee had a re- volver in his right hand. The Indian grab- bed the barrel. The revolver went off. but the Indian was not hit, the pistol dropping to the ground. Fitzhugh Lee was six inches shorter than the Indian. He saw that he could do nothing if he allowed the Indian to use his knife, and he threw his arma around him and hugzed him for dear life The Indian tried again and again to stab him, but Lee held Ughtly to him, and the two swayed to and fro, packing ‘the under their feet. Baie SHOW, he Virginia Back Heel Trip.” “At this time,” said Major Hayes, “I started to Lee's rescue, but I did not dare to shoot, as both Lee and the Indian were twisting and writhing, so that I could not be sure of not killing both at the same time, or Lee instead of the Indian. As I approached, however, I saw the two fall to the gvound with Fitzhugh Lee on top. As they went down they struck the ground not far from the revolver. Lee saw it. He grabbed it end enot the Indian throu ugh the head. The mouth of the savage was open at the time. He was just about to give one of his terrible yells, and the bail wert throvgh his cheeks and mouth with- cut striking a tooth. A second iater Leo discharged the revolver again, the ball this time going through the Indian's brain. Tho savage at once relexed, his head fell back and Le® rose to his feet. He first shoole himself and felt of his body to see if he was wounded, for the knife had cut his coat. I asked him how he felt. He replied: Oh, I am all right now, and my muscle 1s in good trim. I used to be very fond of Wrestling when I was at college, and {t was my knowledge of wrestling that saved my life today. When I first grabbed that Indian I thought he had me, but at the last moment I remembered the cld ‘Virginia back-heel trip,’ and that brought the red 8 down.’ "” “Yes, that's about the truth,” said Fitz- hugh Lee, as he looked over the above story. ‘Hayes was there, aud he saw the fight, but if you publish it give it as com- ing from him and not from me,” How Fitzhugh Lee Entered the Con- federacy. I here asked General Lee how he hup- pened to enter the confederate army. He replied: “Before I resigned from the Unioh army I waited to see what father and my Unele Robert would. do. was, you know, about twenty-five yghrs old at the time. I had been ordered fi Texas to West Point to serve there as Inftructor of cavalry and I was acting as sugh at the breaking out of the war. I wrote my father and uncle and asked them whgt they were going to do. They replied thpt they were not cer- tain as yet, but at last I saw @ report in the New York Herald stating that they had both resigned from’ the service. On that game day I received a telegram from my father containing tHése words: ‘Do as you lease.’ He did not telegraph me to resign, ut left the whole rhatter to me. I did not reply to this mess: but I at once went and got a seven days’ leave of absence to go to Washington, incehding to there offer my resignation. As I passed through New York I met Phil Kearney, whom I had known before. He’ aaked me where I was poing and I told hii, I was going to Wash- ngton to resign my 'gervices to the Union army. He replied, ‘ Avell, I am going to Washington to offer mine, s0 We may as well travel together, You can act as the chief if we are stopped by the southern- ers, and I will do my part if there 1s any trouble with tho northerners as to our get- ting through the lines.’ I agreed to this and we traveled together. At Havre de Grace we found the railway torn up and had to take a steamer and go via Annap- olis, taking the railway from there to Washington. As we attempted to take the steamer we were told that we could not go on board without a pass, and that no one could be -carried without an order from Gen. Ben Butler. Butler had charge of the town and he was allowing only Unionists to go through. As I heard this I said: ‘Well, Major Kearrey, that’s your business.’ Kearney said ali right and, leaving me in charge of the baggage, he went up town and soon returned with passes for Major Kearney and friend. My name was not mentioned. With these passes we easily got through to Washington. I went at once to the War Department and reported and was told that there were ordera there for me. These directed me to go to my regiment: but I said in reply that my regiment was in ‘Texas. I was informed that it was not, and that it had just arrived at Carlisle, Pa. The Story of a Saddle. “Now, but for one reason I would have resigned at once,” continued General Lee “T had, however, an army,saddle in Phil- adelphia, which I was very nnxious to get. I was something of a horseman, and I wished to use this saddle during my serv- ice in the south. When I received the or- Gers it seemed to me that I might go to Carlisle and march back to Washington with my regiment. I would be able to pass through Philadelphia and could bring my saddle with me, and then resign, thus saving the saddle. It was a foolish’ idea, but I carried it out. I said nothing to any one about my intended resignation. 7 merely. saluted, took my orders and left for Carlisle. I'got the saddle at Philadel- phia ard carried it with me to my rexi- ment, I found that a numoper of the offi- cers had already resigned. General Stone- man was in Philadelphia, and he made me one of his adjutants. He told me we would leave at once for Washington, and shortly atter this we marched to the capital and encamped just outside the city on the edge ef the 7th street road. The first thing I did was to ask leave to go into the city. This was granted, and I was ordered to get forage and food for the soldiers. Be- fore leaving I gave directions to an orderly to take my trunk to the Nacional Hotel and tell the clerk to have it Kept there un- Ul called for. I then took my horse, with my saddle on it, and rode down into the city. 1 first delivered the orders for the forage and food, and then went to the ho- tel. Here I took the saddle from my horse a nt it upstairs, directing the orderly to take the horse back to ‘he camp. I followed the saddie, had my trunk sent up to my room and at once changed my clothes, putting ‘on ‘ritizen’s dress and packing my uniform and saddle in my trunk. I then went down and paid my bill and bargained with @-cabman to take me ten miles into Virginia. He charged me ten dollars, I remember. My trunk put on the back of the cab, and we drove out over the Long bridge to Perks statioa, whence I went eu: to Richmond. Soon after this Long bridge and all of the other avenues out of the capital were guarded, I got away just In time, and soon after sent in) m ignation. I then enter- ed the southern afmy! and remained in t until the war closed. he Cavalry ofthe North and South. You were at the head of the cavalry of the southern atmy/ General Lee. How aid your troops compare with ourt?” “I think our cavairy!at the beginning of the war was better than that of the north,” replied General Lee. “Each man had, you know, his own horse, and in most Cases a horse which he Lad been ac- stomed to riding. He brought his horse ‘om his home to the field, the government paying him for its use and keep. ‘The re- sult was that we had better horses than the north. Then the rank and file of the cavalry were made up of men of good edu- cation and standing, and in most cases of ome mean: ou yourself think at the start, gen- that the south could succeed?” Yes, I believed and nearly all the south- erners believed that we were almost sure of eventvally succeeding. This was the case at the battle of Gettysburg. After that we changed our minds and gradually came to tee that the northern forces were erior that they could beat us in the “Suppose the war were to be fought over again, would the result be the same?” o one can tell,” replied Gen. Lee. “Had we the same forces now that we had then and added to this the benefit of our ex- perience, the result might be different. But still, what the south could have done might have been counterbalanced by other ac- tions on the part of the north, and no one can tell what the result would have been. The war is, however, over for good between the north and the south. The sec- tions are united, and not divided.” “Suppose, general, the south had suc- ceeded?” “In that case there would have been another great republic south of Meson and cr’s line. The country would probably have developed rapidly. Charleston, Sa- vannah, New Orleans and Mobile would have been great cities, to a large extent monopolizing the trade of the south and having in all probaLility a great trade with Europe.” The Solid South and the Negro. “Hew about the solid south, general? Many republicans belleve 1t will be broken during the coming campaign.” “I think it very doubtful,” replied Gen- eral Lee. “Our people are too much afraid o* the re-enactment tn some form of a measure Ike the force bill to vote the republican ticket.” “How about the negro question? What is gonig to beccme of the negro, anyhow?” “I believe that the whites are always going to control the states. They cannot do otherwise. Our people will never sub- mit to the rule of the negroes. As they are at present there ts no danger, but to give them the power and opportunities for mis- government and corruption suvi as exist- ed in the days of so-called reconstruction would be, to say the least, a condition which the people of the south could not endure.” Grant ‘and Lee. “You were close to General Lee during the war, were you not?” “Yes,” replied Fitzhugh Lee. “I was his nephew, and we were naturally intimate friends.” ae “You were with him, at the battle of Ap- porattox. Did the surrender take place, as {t has been described, under that apple tree?” 8 “No,” said General Lee; “the apple tree stcry arose from the fact that Gen. Robert E. Lee was lying under an apple tree upon a blanket near the: Appomattox court house when a messenger came to him bearing General Grant's last note as to the sur- render. In this note Grant asked Lee at what place he wished to have the interview take place. Genral thereupon left the apple tree and se¢bred a room in Mr. Wil- mer McLean's house {f Appomattox. This was a two-story bric4, with a porch run- ning along in front of it. General Grant arrived at this house about 1 o'clock that day, and the surrender took place in that room. Grant sat at a marble top table in the center of the room and Lee at a small oval table near the window. They had met once eighteen years before, during the Mexican war, when Lee was an engineer officer on the staff of Geaeral Scott and Grant was a heutenant of infantry. Their Mexican meeting was first referred to, and they then discussed the terms of surrender, which, at Geveral Lee's requst, were re- duced’ to writing.” General Lee’s Sword. “General Grant did not take Lee's sword?” “No,” was the reply. “He did not de- mand it, as is customary, but he actually apologized to Lee for not having his own sword on at the time. Grant was dressed General (Cn carpets and rare rugs require the greatest care to properly clean them without tearing. Our dry-air process removes dust, grit, moths without” any in- jury whatever.
