Washington. June 23- The Post tomorrow will Bay: A very interesting letter was reoeived today by a relative from General Lee. It deals pretty fully with Cuban affairs. The Spanish troops,he says, are fairly well drilled,but under a system of taotics different from anything the general has ever seen. As to the insurgents they had praotioally the control of the island. As to the inhumanity of the Spanish commander, General Lee expresses himself In the plainest terms. They do not regard the laws of modern warfare nor the usages customary amor.g civilized nations at all" He says: "From either quarter there is the same testimony oomjerning the barbarities of tho Spanish soldiers. Some of the evidence I have heard would be beyond belief did I not know it to be most reliable. Violation of women, the plundering of inoffensive oitizens, murder,and every form of rapine have been inflicted on the natives of the island, and it takes very little indeed to place you under susploian. General Lee doubts if peace oould be made short of a basis of absolute independence and freedom from Spanish control. ATTACKED BY REBELLIOUS NATIVES. Buluwayo June 22- A patrol of 23 of the horses, bringing in women and children in an armored mule wagon, had a desperate fight with rebellioui natives near Salisbury. Seven of the patrol were killed and four wounded,while 14 of the horses and all of the mule, were killed. TRUE BILLS FOUND.

Great Falls,Mont,June 18.- Lieutenant John Per-- ahing arrived at Great fells last evening from Fort Assinaboine with-43 men of the .tenth Cavalry,and the first move is being made today towards exporting'the renegade Cree Indians to Canada under the recent act of oongress.Sheriff Dwyer and Lieutenant Pershing went to Buffalo Coat's camp this afternoon near the clty,had him call in his followers,and talked with them about going baok.They promised them rations and placed- piokets around them. Inquiry was made in the powwow as to the whereabouts of Little Bear and other ohiefs with their bands,The inference, is therefore, that they will also be rounded up. Some of the Indians olaim that they • ,\ as well as their children are citizens'of the United States, and they dont want to go back , even if Canada does grant them full pardon for the-part they took in the Riel rebellion. A lot of box oars of the Great Falls and Uanada :• " ,• railway,with seats in them,have been brought herw to be used in the deportation. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LINE. The most oonsplouous figures now before the peos pie of the United States are William MoKlnley and G.A.Hobart. They are the nominees at the St,Louis Convention,for President and Vioe President, the platform is a strong and clear declaration for gold. The ten'-as. silver men were not in it,and ■ .they walked out of the convent ion, The result is,war between the- Gold Bugs and the Sllverites, Protection will be the war cry of the party, But the silver men of both of th. old parties,wil, have something to day before a president is elect eel,a split In both parties may give the eleotion to the sllverites,the West and.South are solid f( silver.
