Havana.
Havana, Sept. 4.-Genernl Fitzhugh
Lee, the United States consul general.
accompanied by his son and private
secretary, will! embark this afternoon
on board the Ward Line steamer Sn-
guranca, bound for New York
When questioned as 10 his apparently
sudden departure from Cuba, General
Lee said his leaving Havana had no sig
ni1cancc, as he was simply availng
himself of Il leave Of absence granted
him by the State Department
Previous to leaving this city General
Lee called upon and bade farewell to

NOT LIKELY TO RETURN.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 4.-No off,
cial information could be obtained here
regarding the return or General Lee,
but 1t is understood that he has been
granted leave Of absence by the State
Department with permission to return
to this country. The business of the
consulate will be in charge of the vice
consul general during his absence. IT
Is quite probable that General Lee will
not return to Havana. 1t will be re-

and other officials holding like positions

lowed q great deal Of speculation as to
whom the successor OF General Lee
would be, and several names were men
TONED In this connection About this
time the disclosures concerning the
condition of Americans IN Cuba became
public, and based on the reDorts OF
General Lee and other consular officers
In Cuba President Mckinley sent u mes
sage 10 Congress stating the destitute q
condition of the Americans in the island
anu Congress Immediately appropriated
$5O,0OO for their relief. The publication
OF these reports caused a great deal of
criticism OF General Lee In the Spanish
and Havana papers and intlmations
were made THAT General Lee was to be
superseded because he was unsatisfac-
tory TO the new administration IT was
also said that when these REPORTS
reached General Lee. he Informed the
state Department that while he was
anxious to be relieved, he did not wan,
to retire under fire. The course mr..
