some important matters relating to the
discriminating clause of the tariff bin
the civil-service muddie and few ur-
gent appointments. The heat to-day Is
very oppressive.
1t Is not probable. therefore. that Con-
sul-Generai Lee will come TO Washington
before the final return OF the President
from his summer vacation.
CARLISLE LUNCH INFORMAL.
Some stress is being laid tonight on
the Carlisle lunch yesterday. and a de-
gree OF Importance is being attached to
IL that is wholly unwarranted. The lunch
was quite an informal affair. General
Lee and ex-Secretary Carlisle are old
friends. There was nobody present but
Editor r. s. Turk. of the Staunton spec-
-Vindcator. who Is also an old
friend OF the Carlisle family. and Mr..
Logan Carlisle. Cuban affairs were not
discussed. Mr.. Turk met General Lee in
New YORK and accompanied him here,
ana also left on the same train with
General Lee for his home, at Staunton.
SPANISH CAUSE HOPELESS.
The most that General Lee admitted In
ms private talks was the seeming hope
lessness Of the Spanish cause I'm Cuba
and he said the health condition of the
spanish army In Cuba was simply de-
piorable. It's ranks were being depleted
py yeliow-fever and smallpox at a fear
full rate.
1t is believed now that nothing will be
done until an answer is received TO the
note sent by the United States Govern
ment TO Spain, and which probably has
been delivered by Minister Woodford by
this time. Then there may be a demand
for General Lee in Washington, II not in
Habana.
There is no probability of a successor
TO General Lee being appointed, nor II.
there any indication so far that he has
any intention Of engaging In Virginia
politics until the Cuban matter is set
tied.

sstaut Secretary Of State, during which
,ho entire range Of Cuban affairs was
gone over.
The Consul-General submitted no
written report, but gave verbal state
ment on the numerous questions which
have arisen in connection with the Gu
ban matter. Secretary Sherman desired
that General Lee should see the Pres-
dent who Is expected back tonight. IT

would be fatigued with his journey, and
would not care to take up Cuban affairs

All parties concerned declined positive

ference. but 1t is learned that 1t devel-
oped no new or startling phases Of the
Cuban situation. but was rather in the
nature of a general review Of the entire
situation up to the time the General
left the island. He was able to present
this much better through personal talk
Than through the medium of the com
munications which he has sent from
time 10 time.
The subjects covered included the con-
diiion Of the Competitor prisoners and
other Americans held i'm Spanish prisons;
the disposition of the fund of $4,000
appropriated by Congress for the relief
OF Americans destitute on the island
the present status of the rebellion, re-
cent hostilities, etc.
one Of General Lees staff visited the
Competitor prisoners the Saturday before
the Consul-General left for Washington,
and reported that Ona Melton and the
others were in fairly good condition.
CUBAN SCOURGES.
The prevailing sickness on the island
was touched upon. Both yellow-fever
and smallpox are carrying off many
victims at Habana and through the in
terror. The week before General Lee
left there were thirty deaths from yell
low-fever at Habana. OF which far the
greater number was among the troops
As to whether General Lee will return
10 Cuba, no definite information could
be obtained. 1t is said to depend much
on circumstances which have not yet
developed, and II is probable that
neither the Consul-General nor the Off
cials are as yet certain concerning his
future movements. As a Cabinet meet
ing will be held tomorrow, II IS
thought that General Lee will not be
called to Washington until Wednesday
or later

His Name Not Considered In Con-

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, Septem-

General Lee from Habana, the news
papers have renewed the association Of
his name with the presidency Of the
University of Virginia. Only one name
was seriously considered by the board
last June. General Lees was not pro-
posed, nor has IL been since. In this
community, where the rector and an
other member of the Board of Visitors
live, General Lee is not looked upon as
a probability. A gentleman who has had
some opportunity to know the situation
said this evening that as far as he
knew, the only consideration which had
been given to the General in connection
with the presidency was in the news
papers. Some of the several members
may present General Lees name in fu-
ture, but that is not looked for here
