GEN. LEE NON-COMMITTAL.
Asked if He Will Return to Havana He Re-
 marks MOuien Sahe 2,

marks, "Quien Sabe ?''
 Washington, Nov. 17.-Consul Gener- al Fitzhugh Lee saw the president this afternoon for the first time since he re- turned to this city on Saturday. He spent only few moments with the president. who had arranged to go driv- ing with Mrs. Cleveland. The general says he will go to Fredericksburg to- back to Washington at the end of this week. Asked when he expected to re- turn to Havana, he took refuge in his fayorite phrase, "quien sabe?" and this was his reply to all questions to-day. The general invariably explains that this literally means "who knows or rather in his own case, T have no idea"
 In conversation to-day General Bee appeared to attach considerable signi- ficance to the report cabled from Ha- vana that General Weyler was expect ed back in Havana this week and he was disposed to think the report accu- rate. But most searching inquiry fail ed to develop in just what direction the significance lay, whether it might be taken as a positive indication that Weyler's returning from the field meant the failure of his campaign or it's par tial success.
 Whether General Lee has given any more definite opinion to President Cleveland or Secretary Olney cannot be wrung from him by his closest per sonal acquaintances. If it is true that Maceo, as has been predicted, has de- clined to hold all his men in one place and give open battle to the greater Spanish forces, then it was claimed that Weyler was warranted in trusting the campaign to subordinates. There are good grounds for believing that General Lees report to officials is not altogether different from the 'quien sabe?" he vouchsafes to others, but on this point he is as non-committal as his superiors.

TO SHAPE TURKEYS FUTURE
4 REPORTED PLAN WHICH THE
 POWERS 5RE CONSIDERING.

It Aims at Many Abuses in the Rotten
 Realm-Army to be Reduced. Loan to be
 Issued, European Receivers in Towns,
 Revision of Civil and Lists Contemplated
 sultan May be Deposed.
 London, Nov. 1S.-The Daily News claims on what it declares to be cred ible authority that the powers are con- sidering a scheme for the control of Turkey Under European ministers. It says that Sir Edgar Vincent an Eng lishman, who is governor of the Impe- rial Ottoman bank, has been mentioned for the ministry of finance. A Russian officer will probably be minister of war and Frenchman minister of the inte- rior. The grand vizier will remain president of the council of state The appointments are being submitted to the powers.
 It is understood that the heads of the scheme are: First, the raising of a loan of e5,000, 900 and the placing of the po lice under European control; second, a reduction of the army; third, each vilayet to have a European receiver who shall be answerable to the minis ter of finance for collecting taxes and paying salaries; fourth, a complete re- vision of the civil and military lists, and the removal of any officers who have been convicted of crimes and who are otherwise unfit for offices; fifth, an entire reorganization of the gendarme- rie; sixth, no person to be debarred from holding office because of his relig- ion; and, seventh, all communities to have equal rights.
 The schemes aims to maintain the in- tegrity of the empire, but does not nec- essarily pre-suppose the retention of Abdul Hamid as sultan.

WEYLER IN CUBAN HILLS
SPANISH REPORT M4CEo BBTREAT-
 INC AND AVOIDING 4 BATTLE.

The Regular Troops Have Taken Many
 Prisoners Left Behind by Fleeing Rebels
 Minister Dupuy de Lome Infers That Weyler Will Not Make an Early Return
 to Havana
 Washington, Nov. 17.-The Duke of Tetuan cabled the Spanish minister to- night as follows:
 "Genral Weyler continues his advance through the hills. He has taken many prisoners left behind by the retreating bands in great distress. The movement is from Mariel to Bahia Honda and thence to Candelaria. Maceo is retreat ing and avoiding a fight"
 Minister Dupuy de Lome infers from the dispatch that General Weyler does not seem to be thinking of nasty re- turn to Havana, although the disposi- tion of Maceo's bands from the hills simplifies the insurrection as far as Pinar del Rio Is concerned. There is nothing to show that any insurgents have attempted to cross the trocha.

CONVICT 4SS1 ULTS 4 WARDEN
Charles Long, States Prison inmate
 Nearly Commits Murder

Nearly Commits Murder. Hartford, Conn, Nov. 17.-Charles Long, convict at the states prison, who is serving a ten years sentence for burglary committed at New Ha- ven, assaulted Deputy Warden Bais- den this morning, and is now locked up in dungeon, charged with an assault with intent to kill.
 Longs actions lead the prison au- thorities to think that he is feigning in- sanity as he has done on previous oc- casions. He has complained of being sick, and this morning was taken with other prisoners to a small building outside the prison, which is used for the prison physician, Dr. Fox Deputy Warden Baisdep was with the physi- elan during the organization.
 Another convict consulted the doctor as soon as Long had been dismissed, and the latter stepped outside the building, and shortly afterwards hurled an iron bar about eight inches long two inches wide and a half inch thick which is used in the shops in riveting. through the window in front of which the deputy warden was sitting.
 The rod struck Baisden in the back of the head infiicting gash about an inch long, and penetrating clear to the bone. At first the wound looked seri- ous, but afterwards it was sen that there was no great danger for the pris- on attendant. Long was immediately overpowered.
 Long said, when he was taken in hand, that the reason he assaulted Baisden was because the deputy war den had poisoned his tobacco" The convict comes from New York state, and is twenty eight years old

coRBErr WILL ACCEPT.
Will Meet Fitzsimmons Before the Bo-
 Nemian Club for 5000

VIII Meet GltzS1mmonS Before the Bo-
 Nemian Club for $25,OO0.
 Boston, Nov. 17.-Regarding the offer of Genslinger, of the Bohemian Athletic club, of New York, of a $25,000 purse for fight between Corbett and Fitz- simmons, Corbett said tonight that he had replied to the following effect:
 "The club that offers the largest purse by next Friday I will sign with Your club is satisfactory to me, if it offers the best terms"
 He had received telegrams, he said, from Dan Stuart, at Dallas, and from Warren Lewis, of the Greater New York Athletic club, stating that they wanted a chance to confer with him before he signed with anyone Corbett said he was surprised at the offer, but said he:
 Tt goes, if no one beats it. How can Fitzsimmons refuse that or anything better? He can't crawl away now, so far as can see, although he is pretty slick at the game. There will be no hitch on my part I'll fight on two weeks notice, as I have said, for any thing and anywhere. I'm not tied to Stuart Lewis or anyone else All I want is to fight Fitzsimmons. I'll fight Fitzsimmons and retire. If he won't fight I'll retire after I've shown him up to the public, and satisfy everybody that he is the cur have claimed he is. | Honest John Kelley suits me for ref cree. If it does not suit Fitzsimmons, I will take George Siller of Chicago"
 Assuming that Fitz does not accept Genslingers offer, then what?"
 'Let him accept any other. do not care what it is, or where. If he pre- fers Dan Stuart's somewhere else, I'll go there for the same money that he does. It's just about as Fitzsimlnons says. I do not care what he accepts No matter what it is, I'll agree. As I said before, any time within two weeks and anywhere. What money satisfies him satisfies me. All I want is to clinch a match I will divide the s25, 900 any way that suits Fitzsimmons.
