comments on an Alleged Intended

Havana, via Key West, October liza
Lucha. in its leading editorial yesterday,
attacked the Sagasta cabinet and said:
we are returning to the policy of cheat
and inconsistency"
commenting upon cable dispatches from
New York city, which assert that Consul
General Lee will soon come to Cuba III
special mission to obtain thu sieys Of
the insurgents regarding autonomy and
10 put stop to the enlistment o. expe-
ditions in case the insurgents should not
accept autonomy, La 4.uchs says n. ese
reports are not credible, as MIR Cleve-
land and President Mckinley haze 10th
explained that under the American con-
stituton and laws the expeditions can not
be stepped. Therefore, II 1t be true that
President Mckinley can stop eXpnj items
by applying laws which have Lot been
applied up to date. the responsibility of
the Cleveland and Mckinley adnlu'stra-
tions would be great and thoir bad faith
manifest If the Sp11Sh minister at
Washington could have found in tn: Amer
lean constitution and laws means to check
the expeditions he would have demanded
their application. Therefore, the policy
Of the American president, as soon &c he
ascertains the feelings of the insurgents
in the matter should be ignored by W.
Besides, should it be true that Gel eial
Lee is coming with this special mission. 1t
would signify Spain's impotence, inns-
much as in affairs of her own she alrits
the intervention Of foreign consnl whose
opinion is well known to DO more favorable
TO the insurgents than 10 the Sraulards.
We neither deny nor affirm that Ctn'n
General Lee has such special n,ssion,
fer we belong to the class WHO ldttNe
everything possible nowadays. I ftcr we
know General Lees mission we sfsi! also
know whether iilbusterins eSrecitions
could have been prevented or not Ivy the

The Ath- letics were represented by President Barrows, who presided at the meeting. A number of applications.were received from from different clubs desiring to join the league. These were New Ha- ven, Wilmington, Porthmouth, Va. and Bridgeport.
