Washington, Nov. H.-Consul General
Lee says that the rumor that he may
not go back to Havana, because Spain OBJ
iects to him has no foundation in fact
He would certainly have heard Of 1t II
there was any truth in the idea. His re-
lations with Gen. Weyler have been cor
dial, and when they parted several weeks
ago they exchanged photographs bearing
autographic expressions of friendship
There can certainly be nothing personal
against him, and officially as consul gen
eraI of the United States in the present
situation, Spain could hardly take an ex-
ception to his performance of his duties
| Gen. Lee says he is in this country solely
for a vacation after five months hard
work in Havana during the hottest time
Of the year, and that he has considera-
BILE private business that demands his
attention after his hasty departure from
the United States last spring. He is go
ing to Richmond on Monday, and will
visit several other places in Virginia. At
ter a trip to West Point to see his son.
a cadet there, his leave will end, and
he will report to Secretary Olney his readi-
ness to return. Whether he will take his
wife to Cuba with him will depend en-
tirely on the state of the country at the
time he returns.
