Colored Delegates to st. Louis
Will Have to Go Hungry
and Unhoused.
Hotels, Boarding Houses and
Cafes Declare Flat Footed \
Against Them. .s
National Committee Will Be
Forced to Furnish Food
and Lodging.

ST. LOUIS, June 9.--What shall be
done with the colored delegates and al
ternates to the national Republican con-
vention is question which is puzzling
the members Of the national committee
and the Business Mems league, which
secured the convention to St. Louis, as
well. Every hotel, boarding house and
cafe has come out fat-footed and de-
clared that it would entertain no negro
asa guest or customer. Money IS no
object. + Threats Of prosecution have
had no effect, and, from the present out
look, it would seem that, unless tents
are secured, the black men will have to
go hungry and unhoused +:
< 81 am thoroughly disguised and dis
couraged,'' said National Committee
man j. q. Long Of Florida. II have
been looking all day long for a
Hotel, Boarding House or Cafe
that would admit the negroes, but it
has been fruitless search. It is the
only time in the history Of the Repub-
lican party where such an embarrassing
predicament has arisen" .G.~
When asked what the national COM
mittee would do in the matter, Mr..
Long replied II have consulted with
the members who are here and we have
decided to offer resolution as soon as
the committee meets condemning the
hotel and inn keepers and for the set
ting aside of fund for renting a hall
in which cots shall be placed for the ac-
,commodation of the negroes who may
come to the convention. We will also
request the employment Of corps OF
cooks to supply them with food"
All Rooms Are Engaged"
James M. Hill, a negro and the ma
tional committeeman from Mississippi,
has been busy all day trying to find
quarters for the delegation from his
state. He was not successful. He was
informed at every hotel in the city that
all rooms were engaged" He could
not even find a room for himself and
was quite indignant. .ss
II hope to have the matter settled
soon,' he said, s'but it is an outrage to
be SO treated in the face Of the promises
made by the st. Louis representatives
in Washington. When st. Louis was
asking for the. convention I did all I
could to bring it here. The local COM
mittee promised that no color line
would be drawn and no discrimination
made by any of the hotels" 5#.s

New York, June 6. A special to
The World from Havana says !: "A local.
newspaper prints an interview with
Consul General Lee on the subject of
his mission, in which General Lee is
quoted as saying that he came to inform
himself on the problems presented in
Cuba and would report to Washington
with strict impartiality and Justice.
The reasons why he was selected were,
first, his great friendship for Cleveland.
with whom he is identified in ideas and
sentiment, and second, having COM
manded General r. E. Lee s cavalry and
been accustomed to reconoitre, he better
than any one is able to understand the
kind of war the insurgents +G making.
Consul General Lee has visited the sew
eral Americans imprisoned in Cuba's
fortress. He found the Competitor men
very wretched and in filthy quarters.
He will apply for their relief at once.
No Formal Charge Yet Made.
It is reported that no formal charge
has vet been made in the case Of
Thomas R. Dawley, the respondent
Of Harper's. I: II I: 4 \.
It is expected that he will be released
soon. He complains that his arms were
tied behind him when he was arrested,
and that he was threatened with death
because he could not carry baggage.
General Melquizo, who had Dawley
arrested, is the same general who is
charged with the responsibility for
many murders Of 'spacifcOs."
Americans in Havana breathe more
easily now that General Lee has come.
He has pleased everybody. His prompt
ness in the Dawley case gives promise
of a vigorous administratio OF the con
sulate in the interests Of Americans. It
may be interesting to know that a
Havana newspaper has already nomin-
ated him for vice president on ticket
with Cleveland. ~ +

Marina published an extended inter-
view with the United States consul,
General Fitzhugh Lee, in which Cen
eral Lee was made to communicate
quite freely on the Cuban question and
upon the relation of the United States

was entirely exact. General Lee main

ton before he expresses any views
