Lee, of Colum bus, Miss., commander-in-chief of the Confederate Veterans, died at G o'clock this morning. Cerebral hemorrhage was the cause. General Lee was stricken here last Friday night. He was exhausted by an effort to make a speech, welcoming four regiments of Wisconsin soldiers with whom he had fought upon the Vicksburg battlefield forty-five years before. His body will be taken to Co lumbus tomorrow on a special train and the funeral will probably occur on Saturday. President Roosevelt, who was a great admirer of General Lee, was among the first to send condolences * General Stephen 1). Lee was born at Charleston, September 23, 18M, of pa triotic lineage. His great-grandfather, Win. Lee, was one of the forty leading citizens of Charleston whose devotion to the continental cause was punished by imprisonment on a prison ship and transportation to St. Augustine, Fla. His grandfather, Thomas Lee, was ap pointed United States District Judge by President Monroe. General Lee was appointed to the West Point Military Academy in 1850, and was graduated in the class of 1854, in the class with J. E. B. Stewart, O. 0. Howard,Custis Leo, Ponder and Pegram. He served with the fourth United States artillery and held rank of first lieutanant and regimental quartermaster when he re signed in 18()1. He was appointed cap tain in the Soutl Carolina organization, and later captain in the regular army of the Confederate army and assigned to duty as aide to General Heauregard. With Capt. Chestnut, a brother officer, he bore the summons to Major Ander son for the surrender of Fort Sumter, and gave the subsequent notice of the opening of the bombardment. After the Burrendor of Port Sumtor he went to Virginia ; n 1 joined Lee's army, and there his ris< was rapid and brilliant. He v. as repeatedly compli mented by his superior officers, and promotion came quickly. He was a colonel at Sharpesburg and Second Manassas, and was mad< a brigadier general in Novemb r 1862, and assign ed to the command of Vicksburg. lb was promoted to bo major-general in 18??:t, and put in charge of all tho cav alry in the west, and after this all of his service was in the west. He was regarded as a capable and daring officer in every emergency. General Loo was born in Charleston. His father moved to Anderson county, near Iva, soon afterward, and part of young Lee's boyhood was spent in that county. All arrangements for the funeral of General Lee were completed tonight and the order bearing upon, this was issued by Adjutant General Micklo, from the headquarters of tho votorans at New Orleans, directin v General W. L. Cabell, of Dallas. Texas, who, in accordance with the by-laws of the or ganization, assumes the ofllo of Lieut. , General commanding.
