Spain Decay.
Washington. Oct. 1l.-Consul Genera
Fi;zhugh Lee arrived here last night
and was at the state department early
this morning in conference with Assist
ant Secretary Day, leaving later for
Warrenton. Va, to attend the funeral
o: a friend. He will return tonight t.
advise further with officials here as to
the Cuban situation.
II is under stood that The state depart,
ment is going over with Mr.. Lee and
Mr.. Hannis Taylor. ex-minister to Spain,
the results OF Captain General Weyler's
Withdrawal and his succession by Gen.
eral Blanco. and the new phases de-
veloped by the accession OF Sagasba. The
escape of Miss Cisneros from a Havana
prison through the efforts OF a repre-
sentative Of the New York Journal has
been talked over also. the prevailing
view being that it will no: lead to an
International complication. General
Lee said today he did no think any
serious question would arise over the
incident. Ex-Minister T aylor. when
asked if international complications
were likely to arise. answered:
81 think not. and the probable result
will be that Sagasta will give q royal
decoration to those who have been good
enough to rid Spain OF this troublesome
subject"
Mr.. Taylor will not discuss tn pres
en-; situation at Hadrid. He is ei saged.
however, in writing a review Of ,ne po>
i~itical, economic and diplomatic phases
o. the Cuban problem. with his own
views drawn from experience at Madrid.
and refuses to make any comnent in
advance OF his carefully prapa:e ed re,
view OF the case. The talks Of admins
tration officials with Mr.. Taylor and
General Lee have given an nccura e view
OF the situation, both at Havana ana
Madrid, resulting from the cha nge OF
Spain's cabinet and policy.
There Is good reason to believe tina,
the view communicated to the state de,
apartment ID that the accession Of Sagas.
ia means a Fabian policy OF delay, not
only for he present. bu. for many weeks
to come. and that no definite policy for
Cuta will be announced for some time.
As evidence OF this. it is pointed out
that General B,anco. the new captain
general Of Cuba. will not leave for hia
post before the 18th.
Officials believe his departure Is more
likely to be deferred until the 2O,h. The
trip from Barcelona to Havana will take
about IL days, and the new captain
general will not reach Havana before
the early part of mex month. This, il,
is said. will permit all pending Cuban
questions to be held in suspense, at least
until she new official reaches his post
After that ii is estimated the Spanish
cabinet will desire that the new captain
general be given time to familiarize him.
SELF wish his duties and the conditions
and the measures he is to apply to the
islands. The execution Of that policy
an allowance OF time FOR It's fair trial,
&c, according to those in a position to
accurately judge the situation, will lead
to protracted delays ON those subjects
to which the United States recently has
invited the attention Of Spain.
Senior Dubosc, secretary of the Span.
ish legation. has returned, and is the on,
ly Spanish oficial in Washington. He
maintains strict RESERVE concerning the
present situation Of affairs.
