THE SUBJECT OF CONTROVERSY BEFORE THE
ASSEMBLY CITIES COMMITTEE
Albany. March I7.-Assemb.yman Leonard.
Assemblyman Niles and Assistant Corporation
Counsel Clark, OF New-York city. had discus
sion before the Assembly Cities Committee this az
ternoon over the bill introduced by Mr.. Leonard
prohibiting cities In the State from using foreign
asphalt. wood other pavement In streets, ex-
cept for the purposes OF repair.
The hearing opened by Assemblyman Leon
ard. who said II acknowledged fact that
American asphalt was preferable to the foreign
substance aud was. in fact. OF 30 per cent higher
quality In its test The passage OF the bill would
mean tho development Of American labor
H. T. Andrews OF the committee. asked Mr..
Leonard II he would consent TO an amendment
which would strike out the provision In the bill
relating To wood pavements.
This Mr. Leonard refused because he thought
that American woods were superior to those OF
foreign countries. In fact that the United states
was the wooden country Of the world
Ex-Assembyrian Niles then said the bill would
have a tendency to create monopoly. The various
cities OF the State now secured asphalt from Der
muda and the West Indies at a cheaper price and,
he thought OF better quality than the United
States could furnish. 1t was unconstitutional egis-
laton for the Constitution did not allow STATE
to pass a law against importation OF foreign PROD
ucts.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Clark stated that
the Commissioners OF Public Works or New-i ork
and Brooklyn were opposed to the bill because or
the uncertainty OF the Amer. can product, which
has not been sufficiently tried. 49, -

associated Press Special Wire
HAVANA, Sept. 19.-General Fitz-
hugh Lee, United States consul general
here, was asked today by representa-
tive of La Lucha about the widely cir
culated report in some of the American
newspapers. charging General Weyler
with having had notice posted at Las
Cabanas directing that General Lee
should be arrested and detained there
If he visited the fortress. General Lee
was also questioned about the state
ments frequently made in the newspa-
pers of the United States that he was
not permitted to visit the American
prisoners incarcerated in the forts near
Havana, and that therefore he could
not keep informed as to the health and
condition of those prisoners.
Consul General Lee submitted to an
interview, which will be published. He
said: "A few days after my rival in
Havana. at the invitation Of my pre-
decessor. Mr.. Williams, 1 accompanied
him on visit to the Competitor pris-
oners, confined at Las Cabanas. Some
days later heard that it was against
the regulation to allow foreigners to
visit military forts at this time, even
on visitors day, as it is called, and that
the officer commanding at Las -Cabanas
had been reprimanded by Gen. Weyler
for allowing me to make the said visit.
The officer in question offered as an
excuse that his subordinate officers on
duty at the gates did not know me, but
supposed I was one of the visitors ell
tjt1ad fn antar. tho rfc vic do
From abundant caution and in order to
prevent occurrences of that kind in fu
ture. the commanding officer at Las
Cabanas, I heard, had a notice posted
in one Of the guard rooms directing his
officers to arrest and detain me If I
should again attempt to enter the fort.
when 1 heard Of this notice I at
once called General Weyler's attention
to 1t, and he very promptly had it re-
moved. I am informed that he repri-
manded the officer who had posted it.
LAS to the statements that 7 am not
allowed to see the American prisoners
and that the prohibition does not apply
TO the consuls of other countries, 1 de-
sire to say that all such statements are
incorrect. 1 or my representative can
see any or all the American prisoners
at any time that it is desirable TO do so
by simply sending notice to the COM
handing officer of the fort on the even
ing before. This being done, the officer
is required by General Weyler to have
the prisoners named at certain point
where they can be seen and talked with
alone, If necessary. Only morning or
two ago one of my representatives went
over to Las Cabanas and saw and con-
versed with ell &c Competitor prison.
