THE ROME HUSTLER-COMMERCIAL
“I am sixty-two, but, all I want
you to do is to sound the bugl e
and I wifi be with you, saddle and
boots. Don’t put it off too long,
general - Let us go and haul
dow n the Spanish flag.”
This S'ntiment was general all
along the line. Waycross txc, eded
all previous points in giving G» n .
Lee an ovation. As the special
train rolled through the railway
yard every w hittle and bell pealed
forth a welcome,
Cannot, roared and musketry
rattled while 4,000 wildly excited
peitons frantically crowded up to
the car.
Gen Lee was taken bodi’y from
the car and wi s introduced to the
c o vd bv Coloi el S. G McLendon,
of Georgia, in the following words.
“As 1 oi.g a-t hurna i history is j
read, tbe name of Lee will shine
out a beacon light on the shore
of truth and honor and courage.
This gentleman is Fitzhugh Lee,
of America,”
An afternotn paper in a big
serrehead announced, “Lee for
President in 1900.”
The special train will reach
Washington abont 1 o’clock this
afternoon.
SALUTED AS MAJOR GENERAL.
Savannah, Ga., April 12
General Fitzhugh Lee and par
ty reached Savannah last night
on their special train via the
Plant system.
There was a more magnificent
demonstration at the depot in
his honor than would been ac
corded a president of the United
States. Fully 10,000 people were
gathered there and all who could
possibly do so packed themselves
into the depot before the train
rolled in.
The train was due to arrive
at 10 :15 o’clock Shortly before
10o’clock the Chatham Artillery
in command of Capt. George P.
Walker, carrying the two fa
mous and historic brass cannons
presented to the company by
General George Washington,
marched to the depot and await
ed the arrival of the train.
As the special train bearing
the general and his staff rolled
into the depot a mighty cheer
rolled up from the enormous
throug theie gathered and the
cannon, in rapid succession, be
<ran to belch forth a salute of
C 5
thirteen guns, the salute of a
major general.
The big crowd cheered with
each volley until the noise was
deafening.
There were calls on every side
for General Lee and the general
appeared very promptly on the
front platform and made a brief
address to the crowd. His voice
was v luminous and distinct, so
that he could be heard all over
the depot. He thanked Savan
nah ians and Geoigians for the
magnificent demonstration ui
his behalf, spoke of Georgia a
one wf the grandest us southern
states and a state that he was
most proud of. Then some one
called up the question of the
Maine.
“What about the Maine?”
went up the cry from several
sides.
“The Maine affair and all oth
er affairs involved will be at
tended to in due time,” General
Lee said, and that was his only
reference to the questions in
issue.
There as a call from the crowd
for Dr. Brunner, the belief being
that he was on tbe train, and
this being Dr. Brunner’s home,
but Dr. Brunner did not respond.
The train remained in the city

BLANCO YET UNERCIDED
Spanlai Cs We re Argry And
Cried For War.
Havnna, April 12.—General
Blulco has received instructions
by cab e from Madrid to issue a
proclamation declaring an armis
tice. He answered the di-patcb at
once be asking Senor Sagasta
with whom he was expected to
treat concerning the armistice.
The Governor Genera! does not
know from his instructions how
he is to approach the Cubans, or
whether he is to proclam the ces
sation of hostilities without c< m
municating with them at all
The public here is stupefied by
tbe order, but the warlike spirit of
the volunteeis a..d the people has
not abated. The Fifth Battailion
of volunteers paraded the streets,
shouting with great enthusiasm
“long live Spain!” and “long
live Spanish Cuba 1”
General Arolas paraded tie
principal streets with the firemen.
They all cheered the King, tho
Queen and Spai n.
Nobody believes here that tr e
Spanish government can possibly
back down, and if such a thing
should happen, the Spaniards
ueclare that they will show the
blood they have m their veins.
The streets of the city afford an
impressive spectacle. Guns and
wagons loaded with ammunition
are s; eu everywhere .
Warlike manifestos are circula
ting among the vo'un’eers. “We
are ready,” “let them come,” ami
other phrases ike th se are tbe
titles of these documents.

his legs, but not enough could
be taken to replace what had
