Son and Daughter of the General in San Francisco, General Lee’s son and daughter and two sons-in-law form a party now staying at the Occidental Hotel, await- ing the departure of the transport Sherman on Monday. They are First Lieutenant G. M. Lee, Mrs. Brown and her husband, Lieutenant L. Brown, and Lieutenant J. C. Rhea. The three officers belong to the Seventh United States Cavalry and received the first news of General Lee’s death last even- ing from a Call reporter. The news was conveyed first to Lieutenant Lee, who immediately went to the apart- ments of his sister to console her in her grief. Later in speaking of his father's death Lieutenant Lee said: “Father had been in the best of health until stricken down with apo- plexy. We have béen worrying about him all day and this news confirms our worst fears.” Later in the evening Lieutenant Lee received a telegram from Washington ordering him to report to Fort Meyer, which practically means that he has been relieved from duty in the Phil- ippines. He and his sister will leave for the East to-day. Another son of the distinguished general is now In | the Philippines, but was ordered home by the War Department when the an- nouncement was made that his father was in a critical condition. S e o _FITZHUGH LEE'S CAREER. Renowned Alike in Works of Peacc and of War. Fitzhugh Lee was a nephew of Gen- eral Robert E. Lee and ‘the grandson of General Henry Lee, the noted “Light Horse Harry” of the Revolu- tionary War. It was this same “Light Horse Harry” who first gave voice to the ever-living Washingtonian eulogy: “First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen!” General Fitzhugh Lee was born on November 19, 1835, in Clermont, Fair- fax County, Va. Inspired, doubtless, by the traditions of his family, his youthful ambition was to become a soldier. . After obtaining a rudiment- ary education in local schools, he en- tered the West Point Military Acad- emy, where he speedily developed the sterling and popular traits which marked his conduct in all phases of life. He was a favorite among his classmates and a noted athlete, lead- ing his class in expert horsemanship. He was graduated from West Point in 1856 and was commissioned second lieutenant in the Second Cavalry. ‘Within a year he was permitted to join his regiment in the Southwest, where he engaged in some spirited combats with the Indians. In one of these fights he was severely wounded, alx‘x, Indian arrow baving lodged in his side. While acting as an instructor in the military academy the Civil War broke 2 | | to the Confederacy. out, and young Lee offered his services On the 25th of | July, 1862, Lee was made a brigadier | general, and about a year later he . became a major general. He was a | conspicuous figure in the battle of | Winchester, on which occasion three | horses were shot under him and he | was severely wounded. i After several months spent in the hospital he returned to the field, and | in March, 1865, he was placed in com- | mand of the entire cavalry corps of the | Army of Northern Virginia. Lee dis- played skill as well as courage as a cavalry leader. At Farmville, near Appomattox, he led a brilliant charge, which drove back General Crook’s cavalry division, and held the key to the situation until Sheridan and Ord arrived With Fed- eral reinforcements and put an end to the struggle. On the following day General Robert E. Lee and General Grant settled the terms of the sur- render of the Confederate forces. One of the first of the recognized leaders of the Confederacy to preach the doctrine, “The war is over, let by- gones be bygones,” was Fitzhugh Lee. In the winter and spring of 1882-3 he madg a tour of investigation through the Southern States in the in- terest of the Southern Historical So- ciety. About the same time he at- tended a reunion of Confederate vet- erans and aroused much enthusiasm by reminding his hearers that the blue | and the gray were reunited in loval allegiance to one flag and one country. | General Lee was elected Governor | of Virginia in 1885. A mutual regard | sprang up between President Cleve- land and General Lee, which ripened into a strong friendship. When in April, 1896, it became necessary to ! have a strong, fearless, cool-headed | and discreet representative of this| Government in Havana, President | Cleveland sent for Fitzhugh Lee and induced him to accept the place. Un- der the peculiar and exacting responsi- bilitles of his office Consul General Lee displayed great diplomatic ca- pacity. General Lee was retained as Consul General to Havana by President Mc- Kinley because the President and his Cabinet convinced themselves that un- der the circumstances they could not get as well equipped a man to take his place. ‘When the Spanish-American war broke out General Lee took the-field | and was placed in command of the | Seventh Army Corps. In April, 1901, General Lee spent ; b;l&t périod in San Francisco for his ealth. —_—— ‘Wil Investigate Fisheries.” VICTORIA, B.

PETERSBURG, April 28.—Three | days’ hard fasting preceding Easter,"| accompanied by solemn services, began | to-day. Business of every character ceased and all the Government depart- | ments were closed. The alarming re- | ports circulated during the last. few days apparentiy had little effect on the size of the crowds that thronged the churches, where the tragedy of Calvary was vividly re-enacted. The day was also marked by the observance of the traditional ceremonies of freeing birds, lighting bonfires and placing holy bread in bins, but the bright sunshine did not fail to make a deep impression upon the superstitious in the midst of the gloomy forebodings of evil, being augury of drought and crop !amu-e.! which in Russia is synonymous with ! famine and disaster. The diplomatic corps, including Em- | bassador Meyer, attended the services at St. Isaacs Cathedral. Every mem- | ber of the Orthodox church took com- munion to-day, the Emperor and the imperial family attending the service and taking the sacrament at the chapel of the Alexandra Palace at Tsarskoe- Selo. ‘ —— MISSING WITNESS FOUND BY THE‘ PUEBLO POLICE — Woman Wanted in Election Fraud Cases Is Located on a Ranch and Arrested. 1 PUEBLO, April 28.—Blanche Shaw, wanted as a witness in nearly fifty cases in which election frauds are charged, was found late to-night by officers secreted on a ranch fifteen miles from the city.
