General Fitzhugh Lee was asked last night if he anticipated being made a major general in the United States army. U 1 was tl)6 laconic r©* ply, “I will certainly have some general office tendered me.” “Has the president assured you of this?" was asked. •‘I can’t say as to that point,” was his reply. “The president and I have li.id some conversa tion.” “Is it true that Assistant Sec retary of the Navy Roosevelt lias requested vou to appoint him on your staff?" asked the report er. “I see a New York paper says so,” answered the general, shov ing the paper over to the report- er. “That does not answer the question," ventured the scribe “Well, Mr. Roosevelt has spoken to me about a st; ts ap pointment,” said Gsneral Lee. “Will y>u appoint him?” asked the reporter. “There's where quien sabe comes in—that’s Spanish for ‘who knows,’ ” answered the general. Don’t you think that Cuba will prove unhealthy for the soldiers of this country who go thereto drive the Spaniards out?” “Not especially so, if they keep under cover at night. The dews will be most dangerous for them, and these they can easily avoid.” “I suppose the soldiers of an invasion of Cuba will be select ed from ainoqg the soldiers of Die extreme South.” ‘Not at all,” replied General Lee. “As I understand it the brigades will be made up of men from all over the union. Regi ments from the North and South w dl fight side by side.” STREET attractions Not the least of the sights of fered by Chattanooga during her spring Festival May 8, 4 and 5 dl be the side attractions such 89 the manufacturers’ exhibit, the w " mß u’s display and the* hand decorated buildings.
