Among the passengers on the steamer
City of Washington, which has just ar
rived from Havana, were ]. G. Delgado
and his son NJ. NJ. Delgado. Both gen
tlemen have suffered many indignities
at the hands of the Spanish officials in
Cuba, and are on their way to Washing
ton, where they will lay their griev-
ances before the president and Secretary
Olney. DIR. Delgado had an interview
with Consul-General Lee previous to
leaving Havana. The City of Washing
tons passengers in conversation at
quarantine stated that the newly-ap-
pointed consul-general, Fitzhugh Lee,
was rapidly familiarizing himself with

pleased with the aggressive spirit shown
by the consul-general.
There was also on board the City OF
Washington, Felix Cabello, an officer in
the Spanish service, who is said to be on
an important errand to this country.
