 NEW YORK, Nov. A special to the Herald from Jacksonville, Fla, says Advices from Havana say the departure ot Consul Gsneral Lee was caused by |. orIsis and his report to President Cleve land will almost certainly result in sc. tion being taken by the United States It is understood the case of the Com. petitor prisoners was the immediate cause of the departure O! Mrs. Lee. After court at Madrid had set aside the sentence of death imposet on theee prisoners by the first court martial, Il
 was understood that they would have 6 civil trial. Instead of this, however, Capt. Lsborde, American correspond- snt, Melton, and other Competitor prIs. oners were recently summoned before s naval court at Havana ard required to
 tls written declarations as preliminary to a new court martial. Tie prisoners refused to make any statement save ID
 presence of General Lee, General Lee sent sn energetic note to Captain Gen ersl Weyle protesting against any re- trial not h accordance with the treaty stIpulatiOns and entering exceptions to the proceedings inaugurated. Captain General Weyler evsded direct res ponse, pleading lack authority 10 treat Or diplomatic matters and questioning Lee right to discuss matters which ii ha ] been the custom to submit to Mad rid for settlement by the American min. isier and tbe Spanish foreign office. Lee then sent Weyler second note in which be reiterated the previous objection suo in addition strongly hirted that such ir- regular proceeding. if not regulated. would prevent the United States from recognizing in any way the nsw trial lo-. .s. . @t E,@ 1k terward proceedings were suspended.
 Weyler then requested Lee to furnist proof that Melton and other Compefi- tor prisoners were American citiZens Lee cabled Secretary Olney and after receiving an answer sert a note to Wey- Ter saying the prisoners having been cap- tured at Sc on board of 2 vessel flying the American flag he must consider then All under American protection even ir the absence of specific individual cersi- 6chtes sDd nc arms having been found in rbeIr possession all were equally enti- tied to a civil trial.
 Weyler then proposed to allow Cor respondspt Melton to go free, but to uuuish ths others. Lee again replied that he could make no distinction as the American fiag was over them all. The was fnslly ordered to Washington for diplomatic reasons, Le, would probably deny it, but 1t is fact that he sad on leaving: 'It would not surprise noe If l ehouiC return to Havana on a warship."
 WAsRiNGroN, Nov, 5-As regards the -lecrion of Uoi,ed States ee, ators tt, i've doubtful states yesterday were Deiswore, kausas. Keutucky, North Carolina and South Dakota. It IS nov reasonably sure that Delaware wall hay, } republlcss legislature, the only claiU 'o the contrary being the irreEuIariti,s n Sussex county. Kansas will elect q 'usion or independent senator to succeed Pefe.. Kentucky. on the fa,e of th. returns, will elect a republican to sue ,sed Black burn. The North Carolina | egislsture is in no dou ot, with chances avoring s fusion made up of repu blicaDf | md populists. Until the leyisl4tur, | .ctuelIy rboos Senator Pritchard's l successor, 1t cannot be told whethes North Csrolina's new senator will aci sith the republican majority. Soutt | Dakota is still in doubt with return. | avoring a fusion independent.
