GEN. LEE REPORTS.
HE HAS LONG CONSULTATION
WITH THE PRESIDENT.
He WILL RETURN TO HABAAA.
1t II Regarded ms Inndvisnb1e That
Any Change Should De Made mt
General.
General.

WASHINGTON, September 1s-Gene-
raj Fitzhugh Lee. Committeeman to
| Cuba, had a long consultation with the
President at the White House to-day.
1t was the first time General Lee had
seen Mr. Mckinley since the former
return to this country. about fort
night ago. He saw the President by spe-
cial appointment. and all visitors were
excluded during the proceeding OF the
conference, except Secretary Alger, VINO
came over from the War Department
and remained untn after General Lees
departure.
The conference was long one, last
ing about two hours. General Lee care
fully reviewed the situation in Cuba,
and explained at length all 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 very reticent about the nature OF
the report he had made. He said the
President had not given him an outline
or MS pO4lcy. II ID tNAuthtf hN"Nf'if
that the President is deeply impressed
with the critical character Of the situa-
ton in Cuba. as described by General
Lee. and IT is understood that at the
conference he strongly urged Consul
General Lee to retain his office, at least
for the present. and to return TO Habana
at his earliest convenience.
AS 1t has been strongly intimated for
several months that eX-Congressman
Aldrich would succeed General Lee at
Habana. and that the latter probably
wcud not return, the Presidents ac-
ton to-day is construed TO mean that
he thinks it inadvlsable to make
change at this juncturc.
General Lee left here this afternoon
for Covington, Va. but before his de-
parture admitted that he would return
10 Cuba as soon as he had arranged his
private affairs. probably about the mid
lie OF October.
In private conversation with close |
personal friends, General Leo has ex-
pressed himself vigorously as TO the |
situation in Cuba, and has been very |
emphatic in his condemnation Of some |
If General Weylers methods.
