GENERAL LEES SECRETIyENESs.
About Mckinley Interview, Silent
About Weyler, outspoken.


Washington, Sept. 1s.-General Fitz-
hugh Lee, consul general to Cuba. had
a long consultation with the president
at the White House today. He saw
the president by special appointment,
and all visitors were excluded during
the conference except Secretary Alger,
who remained until after General Lees
departure. The conference lasted al
most two hours.
General Lee carefully reviewed the
situation in Cuba and explained at
length all the 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 reticent
about the nature of the report he had
made. He said the president had not
given him an outline OF his policy 1t
is evident, however, that the president
is deeply impressed with the critical
character of the situation as described
by General Lee. as ii is understood that
he strongly urged Consul General Lee
to retain his Office, at least for the
present, ana TO return to Havana at
his earliest convenience. AS it has been
strongly iRtimated for several months
that ex-Congressman Aldrich would
succeed General Lee at Havana and
that the latter would proba bly, not re-
turn, the presidents action today is
construed to mean that he thinks il in
advisable To make a change at this
iuncIure
General Lee left here this afternoon
for CoVington Va but before his de-
parture said that he would return to
Cuba as soon as he had arranged his
private affaiTs-probabl about the
middle of October. In private CONVEX
sation with close friends General Lee
has, expressed himself vigorously as to
the situation in Cuba and has been
very emphatic in the condemnation of
some of General Weyier's methods.

THE PENSION QUESTION.

Some Shameful Cases Cited
Where Pensions are Obtained
on False PretenSeS.


little as people may think. 1T is
one of the most important mat
tiers with which the State Gov
ernment has to deal. 1t may not
be pleasant to say so, but the State
Government has to be as cautious
as the National Administration
In wedding out the applications
that ought not to be granted. The
people Of an individual State are
somewhat like they are in the en-
tire country, and it would be sur
prising to know how very many
old soldiers are eager to get to
the crib to get some Of the States
pension money. 1t is n sad fact
that there are many,f far too many,
old soldiers who did gallant and
noble service for their State who
are in actual need of help, and
who should be assisted by the
pension fund. The pensioners IN
his State now run up into the
thousands and the indications are
that unless some wedding is done
by the county boards the list this
year will be larger than ever.
Comptroller General Nortorn,
in talking about the pension mat.
ter to-day, said that there was a
tremendous number of applicants
for blanks on which to apply for
pensions. He has already sent
regular supply 20 the auditors OF
each Of the counties, but the
township boards, IN many in
stances,are sending in for further
supplies. The blanks and in
structions have been made very
comprehensive and complete this
year and is the hope of theCOmp-
troller General that there will be
no delay or complication in send
ing in the reports.
MIR Norton in the courso of the
conversation. SAID that he had
lust received a complaint from n
certain county. in which # was
alleged that a man was receiving
a pension that had deserted
There was nothing for Mr.. Norton
to do but to send the letter to
| the county board. and if that
body found the statements were
correct the name of the deserter
would be dropped.
Some time ago an old soldier

ais . zee and obtained the nee.

Simpson will return to the City Council
without mis- approval the ordinance
passed by that body on Tuesday night
last giving the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company the right to
erect line of poles and string wires in

that the city's interests are not sufl-
GENTLY protected, that the committt 9
on streets and the City Engineer are
given too much power in designating
where poles are to be erected, and that
discrimination is made against otht r
such companies in that no bond is re-
uuired of the American Company. 1t
is probable that Council will he called
