LIT NOTHING BAR TIE WAY
Sanguilly'S Release 0verShadows
 Any Other Legislation.
HE MUST BE MADE FREE
Says the Foreign Relations Committee -Sensa-
 ton as to the Patriotic Stand of Consul General Lee-Warlke Resolution.

Washington. Feb. 25.-The senate com mittee on foreign relations held a special meeting this morning for the purpose of again considering the resolution re- ported yesterday instructing the presi- dent to demand the immediate release of Julio Sanguilly, an American citizen now confined in prison in Cuba. This meeting was forced by the attitude of members of the committee on apprcpria- tions, who, through Chairman Allison, gave notice yesterday afternoon that all business must give way to appropriation bills. The committee on foreign rela- tions believes that the situation in Cuba demands the attention ef the senate fully as much as do appropriation measures, especially in view of the treatment of Sanguilly and the repeated violations of treaty rights of Americans in the island.
 The case was carefully discussed this morning, and the committee reached a unanimous conclusion that the senate could afford to wait no longer for Spain to keep her promise made to Secretary Olney, to release Sanguilly, and the de- cision was reached to insist on consider ation and passage of the resolution to the opposition of appropriation meas- ures and every thing else.

A DANGEROUS MAN
Arrested By Officer Nix and Locked Up Offered Repeated Insults to Young
 Girls on Several Occasions.

Mounted Officer Nix was called out to Eighth avenue and Twenty third street early last night to arrest a white. man who was very disorderly and insulting to the young girls of that .neighborhcod. When arrested the man gave his name as G. B. Bryant, amd stated he was S3 years old.
 He said that he was just from Colorado, and had been in the city only a short while. He also stated that he had been admitted to the bar, but had never prac- ticed his profession ether than to spend four years as a clerk for a New York law firm
 Bryant seemed to be perfectly sober and gave evidence of possessing far mere than an average education. He seemed tI7 be very intelligent and a man of some means
 It was reported to Chief McDorald a day or two ago that a white man had been making the rounds from Seventh to Nirth avenues between Eighteenth and Twenty third streets, insulting young girls from 10 to 13 years old and trying to entice them away from their compan- ions. At first the man was thought to be drunk. but he re-appeared last night and continued his insulting actions, whereupon Officer Nix went out and made the arrest.
 From a letter taken from Bryant s pockets it seems that a sister, who sailed for Europe last Saturday, has charge of his income and -ssitlessth amount of it monthly. He is allowed s20 three times a month and s15 twice a moTsth
 The letter gave the ,irftlsrmatioTt that Bryarh's sister intended to sail last Sat urday for Europen poi'tsss and stated that the above amounts would be paid accord ing to her arrangement 7s,
 The man gave no excuse for his dis gusting actions, ard did not seem to be in anything hut a healthy state of mind. He will be tried this morning on a charge of very aggravated disorderly conduct" in the inferior criminal aourt.

He re- quests that these amounts (which are SmalD be al once collected and remitted to him, as otherwise it will be difficult If not impossible for him to make suitable arrangements for the Nashville meeting

Has Sent In His Resignation, But Will
 Be Pressed to Recall It.
 Washington, Feb. 25.-The statement was made upon the floor of the house today, upon authority of prominent southern congressman, that Consul-Gen- eral Lee had resigned his office. The cengressman stated that he had seen the dispatch from the consul-general at the state department, and that Secretary Olney had requested that official not to press the resignation. until after the ex- pira ton of the nresent administrator. The dispatch in question was received at the state department either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.
 Government officers, however, continue to deny the truth of statements that Gen. Lees resignation has been received at the department of state. It is not de- nied that there has been friction between Gen. Lee and the department. but con- ~fidence is expressed that Gen. Lee Will be found at his post up to and including March A. It is said that in cabling the department last week in regard to the Ruiz and Scott cases, Gen. Lee closed as follows: If I am not supported my use fulness here will end and l had better be recalled"
 This. it is thought, may be the dispatch from which the resignation stories have arisen.
