PROVED HE GAVE SATISFACTION.
Consul Lee Not IncOmpetent-Hts
Successor TO he Named.

Washington, Sept. 6.-No omcla1 IN
formation could be obtained here regard
ing the return of General Lee, but it is
understood that he has been granted
leave of absence with permission to re-
turn to this country 1t is quite proba-
BILE that General Lee will not return TO
Havana. 1t will be remembered that
when the new administration came into
power, General Lee and other officials
holding like positions rendered their res
ignations. There was a great deal of
speculation as TO who the successor OF
General Lee would be and several names
were mentioned in this connection. About
this time the disclosures concerning the
conditions of Americans in Cuba became
public and based on the reports of Cen
eral Lee and other consular officers in
Cuba, President Mckinley sent a mes
sage to congress stating the destitute
condition of Americans in Cuba, and con-
gress immediately appropriated $4,000
for their relief. The publication of these
reports caused a great deal of criticism
in Spanish and Havana papers Claims
were made that General Lee was to be
superseded because he was unsatisfac-
tory to the new administration. 1t was
also said that when these reports reached
General Lee he informed the state de-
partment that while he was anxious to
be relieved, he did not want to retire UNI
der fire. The course pursued by the ad-
ministration in not naming his success
or leaves no ground for the intimation
that there was dissatisfaction with him
officially. Now there has been period
of comparative quiet in Havana and Gen
eral Lee has remained long enough to
demonstrate that his course was not dis
approved, and if he is relieved no criti-
cism of him officially will stand. While
the state department officials are unus-
ually reticent regarding the return of
General Lee, there seems to be little
doubt that he will not return to Havana
and that his successor will soon be Sc
lected.

Later in the evening, however, the
earlier crowd was surpassed when the

"Home, Sweet Home" had been rendered

GOVERNORS STATEMENT DOUBTED
Claim That the Agricultural College
Was Not in Debt.

Olympia, Wash, Sept. 6.-The claim
advanced by Governor Rogers in recent
interview that the present board OF re-
gents of the agricultural college inner
tied an $4,000 deficit from the former adj
ministration is not borne out by the
facts. An examination of the state aud
tors books shows the last warrants
drawn on the old appropriation were
dated January 2, 1897, only 10 days be-
fore Governor Rogers assumed office. IL
is improbable that such an enormous de-
felt could be created in such a short
space of time.

ETHNIKE HETARIA MOVES.
THE PLAN WAS TO LEAVE IN ITS
HANDS THE INITIATIVE.
General Impression That War Will
be Declared Either To-Day
or Tomorrow.

LONDON, April 1.-THE Times"
will print the following dispatch from
its correspondent at Larissa:
GiSsousi, the accredited representa-
tive of Ethnike Hetaria tells me that
he looks for important news to-day
Sunday. He has been in conference
with the Greek Deputies and with lead
ing supporters of the patriotic move
ment who have recently arrived here
and there seems to have been a DELHI
rate plan to leave in the hands of
E.thnike Hetaria the initiative
The Greek outposts are being quietly
strengthened and small detachments
are proceeding to their positions under
cover of darkness.
The latest information received here
on the subject of the raid shows that
the invading insurgents first advanced
toward Chassanga. 1t is reported that
the Turks opposed the attack with ar
tillery. The Greek losses were twenty
three killed and twenty-seven wounded
TIL Turkish losses are said to have
been much greater. 1t is rumored that
yet another attack was made on the
Turks at the rear of Mount Olympus
where the Greeks succeeded in plant
ing a flag.
Stringent orders have been issued
against irregular fighting and the pen
atty of death will be imposed for any
infraction. The general impression here
is that war will be proclaimed to-mor-
row (Monday) or Tuesday The possi-
ton of affairs is now extremely criti-
cal. Although the Turkish army has
not yet assumed the offensive. orders
to that effect from the Sultan are ex-
pected at any moment. All classes of
the troops are full of war enthusiasm.
Some details are at hand of a Skin
mish near Grevena. On Thursday
morning 1000 Euzonoi, uniformed and
commanded by Greek officers crossed
the frontier near Baltimon and ad-
vanced to point near Grevena. Here
they met detachment of the Fifteenth
ChaSseurs, on picket duty in the woods,
and hemmed them in. After two hours
of sharp fighting the Sixth Battalion
of Chasseurs came to the rescue, under
the command of Islam Pasha, and
drove the Euzonoi back to the frontier
The insurgents lost $50 killed.
AT the same time Greek artillery was
firing upon a Turkish bIockhouse and
the firing continued until midnight yes
terday, the conlbatants retaining their
respective positions. 1t is not known
how many Turks were killed. but it is
said the number was small.

FEAR ENTERTAINED
That the Levee Breaks May Not be
Closed Before the June Rise.

HELENA (Ark.), April 1.-THE river
has declined e-tenths; the weather
continues favorable and no other break
is now possible.
Another lot of refugees arrived to day
from Old Town and below, having been
driven from their homes by their in
ability to get provisions for themselves
and stock. Many of the whites from
Modoc; in fact, the majority OF them,
have rented lands in the uplands and
will make at least one crop in territory
unvisited by the Mississippi. A fear
now entertained by the large planters
is that the breaks in the levee may not
be closed in time to avert the drowning
out of the crops by the June rise
The Williamson creVaSse is now more
than 200 feet, and the Hubbard and
Westover break more than 900 each
owing to the washing of soil near these
breaks, new locations will have to be
selected for the levees or run around
which will be built to close them. The
duration of the flood is uncertain. If it
should go down quickly there would be
time enough to make these repairs in
the levee, get fences up. rebuild cabins
and make other necessary repairs.

AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.
WASHINGTON ANNUAL r1EETING

WASHINGTON, April IL. - The

American Tract Society was held to-
night in the West-street Presbyterian
Church. Rev. VIM. c. A exander j. D.,
pastor; Senator Burrows presiding.
Rev. Judson Swift Field, Secretary of
New York, presented a brief report of
the society's work. An earnest, elo-
quent sermon was preached by DIR. AL
exander, pastor of the church. The
report called attention to the fact that
1000. 900 of the population are outside
the church, and that there was no more
important work to be done in this coun-
try than that of carrying the gospel
truth to these millions. 1t stated that
the American Tract Society publishes
evangelical truth in 1913 languages and
dialects: the total number of volumes
in all languages published in New York
reaches 81 900, 900, and the total num-
Der of books and tracts nearly 800,

The whole number of family visits

house work is over 14.500,000 and the
number of families prayed with or con-

The work on Ellis Island was spoken
of as being of great Importance in that

The report also called attention to
the fact that the society's income had
been lessened by the falling off in leg
acies of nearly $4,000 during the past
year, and that the great need at the

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE out
look for the week in the Senate is SO
much befogged by the situation with
reference to committee REORGANIZATION
that it is impossible to forecast the pro-
ceedings with any degree of accuracy.
There is possibility that this question
may consume a great deal of attention,
and if it is not satisfactorily disposed of
it may be used TO prevent effort to Sc
cure action on important measures.
Aside from the matter of reorgan-
ization there are more important ques-
tons before the Senate. These are
the Morgan Cuban resolution, the bank
ruptcy bill, the Anglo-American arbi-
tration treaty and the appropriation
bills.
Senator Davis, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, said to-
day that he was hopeful of securing
consideration for the treaty some time
during the week, the only circumstance
likely to prevent being the continued
absence OF Senators. Senator Davis
refuses to make any predictions as to
the result of the final vote, or when
that vote will be reached. Senator AL
ilson, when he presented the report of
the sundry civil appropriation bill to
the Senate, said that he would call it up
this week. Senator Pettigrew. who
Will have charge of the Indian bill. has
also stated that he hopes to take up
that bill. If the Democrats do not OBJ
Ject on account o the incomplete con-
dltlon of the committees both bills will
probably be acted upon during the
week. Senator German is expected to
make a general attack upon the appro-
priations during the tendency of these
measures
Both Senators Hoar and Nelson are
very anxious to press the bankruptcy
bill to vote, but it will give way be-
fore any of the other measures men

The House will continue its pro-

Jerry Simpson of Kansas will en-

sible by requiring quorum to approve

OF the House leaders at present is in
action, however, and his opportunities
to harass the Republicans will be
slight. 1t may be that owing to the
urgency of the case the leaders may
deem it advisable when the House
meets on Tuesday to take up the ar
mor-plate question in some form. In
this event such legislation as is deemed
proper can be had under a special order
from the Committee on Rules. but

bellion in Crete was planned for March
but was precipitated by the violence
of certain Cretan Mohammedans and
broke out six weeks earlier than was
intended. The Cretan movement was
designed to be subsidiary. The Mac
edonian rising was planned for much
later date, owing to the greater rigor
of the Macedonian climate, which is

fore May. Events, however, have
