M'kINLEY AND LEE CONFER.
Cuban Situation Discussed by the Presi-
dent and Consul General.

Cuban Situation Discussed by the Presi-
dent and Consul General.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. - General
Fitzhugh Lee, consul general to Cuba,
had long consultation with the presi-
dent at the White House. 1t was the
first time General Lee had seen Mr..
Mckinley since the formers return to
this country, about week ago. He
saw the president by special appoint
ment and all visitors were excluded
during the progress Of the conference,
except Secretary Alger, who came over
from the war department and remained
until after General Lees departure.
The conference was long one, lasting
almost two hours.
General Lee carefully reviewed the
situation in Cuba, and explained at
length all points upon which either the
president or Secretary Alger asked for
information. General Lee gave his
own views very freely to the president,
but after the interview was very reti-
cent about the nature Of the report he
had made. He said the president had
not given him an outline of his policy.
Lee Will Return to Havana.
1t is evident, however, that the presi.
dent is deeply impressed with the criti-
cal character of the situation as de.
scribed by General Lee, as it is under
stood that at the conference he strongly
urged Consul General Lee to retain his
office, at least for the present, and to
return to Havana at his earliest con-
venience. AS it has been strongly in
timated for several months that ex.
Congressman Aldrich would succeed
General Lee in Havana, and that the
latter probably would not return, the
presidents action is construed to mean
that he thinks it unadvisable to make
change at this juncture. General Lee
left during the afternoon for Covington,
Va, but before his departure admitted
that he would return to Cuba as soon
as he had arranged his private affairs,
probably about the middle of October.
In private conversation with close per.
sonal friends, General Lee has expressed
himself vigorously as to the situation
in Cuba, and has been very emphatic in
his condemnation of some of General
Weyler's methods.

CAIRO, Ills, Sept. 20. DIR. Guiteras,

SWEAT BOX ABOLISHED.

n SIOUX S1Iy Duuge Will nave NO MORE OF
Iy I'm His Bailiwick.
Sioux Cry, Ia, Sept. 20-Judge
Hutchinson has abolished the "sweat
box" system in Sioux City. For years
that has been the principal mode Of
securing evidence against suspects, and
until now it has gone unquestioned in
the courts. The case of Mark Z. Far
rell, alias "Skinney," charged with
burglary, was on trial. The defense
objected to the testimony of the chief of
police on the ground that all the partic-
ulars he knew had been obtained under
duress.
Sweat box?" asked the judge.
Eyes, said the chief. "It's the only
way we nave of getting anything out of
such fellows as him." And he jerked
his thumb in the prisoners direction.
"Well, it's poor way" responded
the court. "a child should know that
such confession is worthless. Leave
the stand"
Then the judge handled the "sweat
box" system and its advocates without
gloves and discharged the prisoner, say
ing that in order to secure convictions
in his court police must have other evil
dence than "sweat box" confessions.
