A MURDER MYSTERY.
No Clew to the Identity of the AS
Sassin Who Killed Edward White.

LOS ANGELES, June 20.-There is
still no clew to the identity of the das-
tardly midnight assassin who shot and
killed Edward White, railroad man,
on Chavez street, near the Fulton Iron
Works, last night.
White was walking with the wife of
Amos Abbott. The woman was arrested,
but can shed no light on the mystery.
Her husband has not been found. The
night watchman at the Weiland bottling
works, near the scene of the shooting,
saw two men sneaking around the
fences just before the shot was fired,
and Mrs. Abbott says one of these men
tried to hold up White. She ran, and
as she turned a corner heard the fatal
shot fired.

SITUATION IN CUBA.
CONSUL LEE SENDS A REPORT
TO CLEVELAND.
Said to Contain Matters of the
Greatest Importance to the
United States.

NEW YORK, June 2O.-A special to
the Herald" from Havana via Key
West says: Consul-General Lee for
warded to President Cleveland at noon
day dispatches of the utmost i'm
portance The dispatches contain the
full reports of the Consul-General on
the Cuban situation and are of ex-
tlemely sensational character.
In the dispatches there are two quite
distinct documents, the one wholly cons
fdential and for the personal informa-
ton OF President Cleveland: the other
a clear, frank exposition of the situation
in the island at the present time.
With the greatest candor the repre-
sentative Of the United States in Ha-
vana describes the existing condition
of affairs in Cuba, both from polit-
ical and q commercial point of view.
Notwithstanding Consul General Lees
extreme reticence, l am justified in
drawing the conclusion that his docu-
ment is of tremendous Importance to
the United States and to Spain. So
strong is it, in fact, that its contents
may, it is expected, be the basis of
armed intervention in Cuban affairs on
the part of the Administration at
Washington.
The report particularly designed for
the Department of State, and which
will be presented to Secretary Olney, is
am informed, complete and impair
tial review of the field. Consul General
Lee takes the ground that the only pos
sible solution of the dreadful problem
existing in the island is autonomy on
Canadian lines. While the Spanish
flag flies in the island of Cuba, General
Lee says, no other remedy can be found
to stay the rebellion or end the blood
shed and devastation which are at pres
ent making Golgotha OF one Of the
fairest portions of the earth's surface
Even this remedy, the Consul General
informs President Cleveland and Sec
retary Olney, at this la te day may be
ineffectual.
Consul General Lee finds that the
Spanish Government has in many in
stances been entirely inpotent in it's
efforts to protect either the lives of for
eigners resident in the island or their
properly. This has been perhaps un-
avoidable, the Spanish troops having
been fully occupied in the field in re-
sisting the persistent raids and strate-
