CONSCIOUS TO THE LAST
Veteran ol Confederate Army and

During Revolution. '
WASHINGTON. Anril 2S. Brlcadier.
General Fitzhugh Lee. U. S. A., retired,
died at Providence Hospital here tonight,
agea b years, irom an attack of apo
vplexy which he suffered early this morn
ing on a train -while on Ills way from
iioston to Washington. After General
Lee had been removed to the hospital this
morning, it was evident to the attending
ipnysicians that his case was very serious,
out mey noped that his strong vitality
and will power would assist materially
in a partial recovery, at least.
His condition remained fair, considering
tne seventy of the attack, during the
day, out shortly after 9 o clock he began
to' grow weaker, his breathing became
more Tapid and his pulse lower, termi
nating In less than two hours In death
The end was peaceful and without pain.
'the General remaining conscious until
within five minutes of the end. Half an
bour before death. General Lee recognized
ills brother, Daniel Lee, who came into
the room for a moment. In the room
'when he died were: Dr. Montgomery, one
-of the physicians at the hospital; Miss
Dorsey, a relative, and a nurse, two of
the attending physicians, Drs. Edie and
,.h.ean, having retired temporarily.
A pathetic feature of the case is that,
-although General Lee was blessed with a
.family consisting of a wife and five chil
dren, not one. of them was with him at
the time of his death.
Conscious to the Last.
General Lee was conscious throughout
the day, and recognized those who wore
admitted to the sickroom. Necessarily
these wore very few persons, including
the attending physicians, the nurses and
several relatives, who came to visit him.
While not suffcringx any pain, the Gen
eral was rather uncomfortable most of
the time, his breathing being difficult and
his articulation when he attempted to
speak being heavy and thick.
The orders of Lieutenant George M. Lee,
a son, who was about to sail for the
Philippines, have been changed and he
will come to Washington, and, it Is ex
pected, will be accompanied by his sister,
the wife of Lieutenant Brown, who also
is now on the Pacific Coast and whoso
orders were issued directing him to sail
-with his regiment for the Philippines.
General Lee's attack Is attributed large
ly to his activity in behalf of the mili
tary and naval review which is to be
held in the vicinity of Jamestown, Va.
His heart and soul have been in tho work
and he labored zealously to make it a
success.
Will Be Buried in Virginia.
-Arrangements for the funoral, together
;Wlth the selection of the place of inter
nment of tho body, will not be made until
'mter the arrival of Mrs. Lee, who is now
on her way to Washington from Fort
Oglethorpe, Ga. Meanwhile, the body
will be prepared for burial and will re
main at the hospital. It Is possible that
the body may be laid to rest at the Na
tional Cemetery at Arlington, although
it Is expected that General Lee's friends
may make an effort to have a site chosen
somewhere else in "Virginia.
A widow and five children survive Gen
eral Lee. Two of the boys are Army offi
cers and two of the girls are wives of
Army officers, while the remaining child
is a young woman still in her teens. The
children are: Mrs. J. C. Hhea, wife of
Lieutenant Rhea, ,now at Fort Ogle
thorpe, Ga.; Lieutenant Fitzhugh Lee, of
the cavalry branch, now In Manila; Lieu
tenant George Mason Lee, of the Seventh
Cavalry, who Is now In San Francisco;
Mrs. Anne Brown, wife of Lieutenant
Brown, of the Seventh Cavalry, who is
now at San Francisco, and Miss Virginia
Lee.
CAREER OP FITZHUGH LEE
Fought for the Southland Labored
Ably for Xation in Cuba.
, ' Fitzhugh Lee, tho 33th Governor of "Vir
ginia, and " one of the foremost soldiers
and public men of the Nation, was born
In Clermont, Fairfax County, Va., No
vember 19, 1833. Ho was the son of Com
modore Sydney Smith Lee, of the United
States Navy, and the nephew of Robert
33. Lee, the famous Confederate General
who surrendered to U. S. Grant at the
close of the War of tho Rebellion. His
grandfather was "Light Horse Harry"
Lee, of Revolutionary fame.
Fitzhugh Lee was educated in the
schools of his native state, and was ap
pointed to the United States Military
Academy at West Point In 1S52, and upon
his graduation in 1S56 was commissioned
Second Lieutenant of Cavalry. His first
service was against the Indians, and in
this campaign he was -severely wounded.
In May, 1S50. Lee was appointed instructor
of cavalry at West Point, but on the out
break of the Civil War resigned his com
mission with many others of the Southern
officers in the United States Army, and
ontered the service of the South. He was
made Adjutant-General of General
Bwell's brigade, which command he re
tained for four months. Then he was
appointed, in September, 1861, Lieutenant
Colonel of the First Virginia Cavalry, was
soon after promoted to Colonel, and was
with the Army of Northern Virginia
through all of Its campaigns.
On July 25, 1S62, Lee was appointed
Brigadier-General, and September 3, 1S63,
aiaJor-GeneraL At the battle of Win
chester he was severely wounded, having
three horses shot from under him, and
Tiolnff disabled from duty for several
months.
In March, 1S65, he was appointed to
command the cavalry corps of the Army
of Northern Virginia, but in April sur
rendered to General Meade and returned
to his homo in Virginia, where he re
mained in retirement for several years.
General Lee re-entered public life in
1S74, when he made a trip to the North.
At the Bunker Hill centennial in the fol
lowing year he made a patriotic speech,
one of the first efforts of the leaders of
either side in the great conflict to renew
the bonds of unity between the North and
the South. During the Winter and Spring
. of 18S2 and 1883 he made a trip through the
South in the interests of the Southern
Historical Society. He was elected Gov
ernor of Virginia in 1885, and served con
tinuously until 1830, when a constitutional
provision prevented his re-election.
In 1895 he was sent by President Cleve
land to fill the position of Consul-General
at Havana, and It was during his admin
istration of the office that the last and
most serious uprising of the Cubans
against tholr Spanish governors was rag
ing at its worst. At this time the condi
tions brought out the best administrative
traits of tho officer, and his attlude in
sured the nrotectlnn of AmnriMn.
.and the safety of American property and
life in the island.
.uAf,aJrs t,ecarie so serious in 1S9S that
the lives of the residents of Havana were
m constant danger, and General Lee was
many times threatened with death. He
had the power at that time to call into
service the American warships at Key
west, but refused to avail himself of
the opportunity, and, when it was decided
by the State Department to detail a vessel
to the port of Havana, cabled the depart
ment to desist. It was too late, how
ever, for his warning to bo heeded, and
the Maine was sent to the port, where
she was afterwards blown up by a sub
marine mine. On February 15 the Maine
was destroyed, and on March 5 Spain
asked for the recall of Consul-General
Lee, which demand was refused by the
United States Government. On April 5,
however, all of the American officials
were recalled and returned to the United
States, accompanied by many American
citizens.
General Lee was next placed in com
mand of an Army corps, which was or
ganized and held ready for service, but
which was never sent into action. Late
in 1898 he was appointed to command the
American artillery forces in the district
of Havana, and was then given the com
mand of the Department of Cuba, con
sisting of the provinces of Havana and
Pinar del Rio. After his return from
Cuba he was appointed to the command
oi tne uepartment or Missouri.
General Lee was the author of the
life of his uncle. Robert E. Lee. lh the
"Great Commander" series. He was mar
ried in 1ST to Ellen Bernard, daughter of
George FoWle, of Alexandria, Va. He has
five children, three daughters and two
sons.

Iiinlevitch Declares Day AVns Not
Lost at Mukden.
GUNSHU PASS. Anril 25?. General
Lilniovitoh cranted an Intervlfviv to fh
Associated Press at his headquarters
here today, in the course of which he ex
pressed himself as highly satistied with
the present condition of the Russian
army and its readiness to assume the
offensive. He manifested emphatic re
gret for tho retreat from Mukden. The
now mmmandcr.ln.f'hlpf hllovp that th
peril to the army at that juncture was
overestimated, and tnat tne day was
far from bolnir lost when th retrp.it
ordered. "Wltn his eyes gleaming with a
great energy and emphasizing his words
with a blow upon the camp table before
him. General Llnievltch exclaimed:
I would certainlv not have retreated.
I realize that it is nasv now tn nastn
judgment upon accomplished facts, but
nevertneiess l repeat l would not have
retreated. I persuaded Kuropatkln to
stand at Tie Pass, and wi Tialtod thorn
for a time. Wo could have Temalncd, but
on account of the factors he considered
it Inexpedient and the retirement was
continued. After' assuming command, I
gave the men a day's rest. The Japan
ese did not press us, and could not do
so, as their condition was quite as bad
as ours.
"As for that unfortunate retirement It-
Eelf, any observer can convince himself
that Its significance, and especially its in
fluence upon the army, has been Industri
ously and greatly exaggerated by, the
Japanese and the foreign press. The re
treat was In no sense In the nature of a
complete rout, proof of . which Is evident
in the fact that in less than a month
after the retreat the two armies which
were thrown Into confusion by the Jap
anese had been collected and fully reor
ganized. The first army did not require
this, having retired in order."
General Llnievitch attributes the great
er success of the first army during the
retreat to the relatively more advantage
ous position in which It was located. He
admitted that there were heavy losses
In both men and material during the re
tirement, especially to the wagon-train,
but he declared this was also exaggerat
ed. Touching the breaking through of the
Japanese at the Hun River on March 9,
General Llnievltch "said he did not nor
does he now attach real significance to
it, believing that this force was not
greater than two companies of scouts or
small bodies of cavalry, and he believed
that tho report that Japanese artillery
was In action east of the Great Mandarin
road on March 10 was based on a mis
calculation. General Llnievltch also discussed the
Gripenberg incident, taking the part of
General Kuropatkln as against his former j
subordinate, and finished with an ex-,
presslon of good will toward the press
in the present war.
After an expression of regret that so
much harm had been done befor he
was given command, a cloud of sorrow
darkened the rugged, energetic face of
the venerable general, and he twice re
peated: "Yes. it Is a sad inheritance."
The correspondent later lunched with
the staff, where General Llnievltch
warned his officers against a too wide
extension or scattering of forces. Ho fa
vored rather concentration, even of
cavalrr.
In the last fortnight the Russian army
on tho right, left and center has ad
vanced beyond Sipanghai position, and
the Russian vanguard posts are now In
the form of an Inverted crescent, the
left horn of which is considerably in the
rear of Changtufu, which the Japanese
hold and which is strongly fortified. The
Japanese arc now exerting a pressure
against the Russian advance. On account
of the nature of the country and the
position of the opposing armies, it is im
possible to effect reconnaissances by small
bodies of scouts, and' work of this na
ture must be done by considerable de
tachments, often including all three arms
of the service, being practically recon
