Gen. Lee Refuses 10 Discuss
His Report.

Washington, Nov 23.-Corsul Gen.
eral Lee, accompanied by Mrs. Lee and
his daughter, called at the State Depart.
ment to-day. When asked concerning
the reports that he had recommended in
teryention by the United States in Cuba,
replied that his report had been presented
personally to Secretary Olney, and that
unless Mr.. Olney had given out informa-
tion concerning it, all reports us to it's
contents were mere conjecture, for as far
as he tlec) was concerned, he had not
spoken to anyone regarding it.
When questioned directly us to the
recommendations in his report, General
Lee said positively that he must decline
to discuss it in any shape or form, as his
report was in the hands of Mr.. Olney
who must make it public, if il were to
become public. General Lee said that
he had not exactly made up his mind rs
to when he would return to Cuba
Minister Dupuy de LONE, of Spain,
had not called ut the State Department
up to noon to present protest against
the burning of a Spanish flag ut New
Castle, Del, as Madrid cables state he is
instructed to do. If IL protest is made it
Will follow the usual course in such
cases, and be referred to the Delaware
authorities for explanation of the facts
the Federal Government would make any
apology deemed desirable; but as rule
the pranks of students have not been con-
strued as an indignity requiring an apol.
ogy.
Both Secretary Olney and the Spanish
minister took this view of the student
outbreaks at Barcelona, Spain. and at one
of the American colleges some time ago,
and while there were expressions of re-
greet ut the episodes, there were no for
mai apologies. y recent indignity to the
American flag in II Canadian town has
been passed over in the same way.
State Department officials will not dis.
cuss the report that Consul General Lees
report treats of intervention by the
United States, but the disposition is to
treat the report rs n revival of former
guesses. 1t is said that General Lee has
made no reports, jas consul general, of an
extraordinary character, so that any adj
vice he may have given rs to Intervention
must be in the nature of private commu-
nications to the President or Secretary of
State.

1t is the opinion of the President-elect
that no revenue Legislation can be accom-

Kinley is averse to raising expectation rs

II rejoice that the great and bountiful
people of your country are endeavoring.
through the relief fund, to mitigate, as
far as they can, some of the consequences
of the great assassin. This is something,
not much, fol- Europe and civilization
still remain under the disgraceful re-
proach of having coldly tolerated IL SER
les of outrages perhaps the most mon
strous known to history; and according
to the latest accounts one of the powers
seems after the innumerable falsehoods
of the sultan, still to accept his trivial
and worthless assurances and even to be
BATTERED by them.

we'll, and have the honor to remain
yours, very faithfully,
