GENERAL LEES VACATION.
The General VIII Return to Cuba
About October 1st.
(WashingtOn POSI-

Assistant Secretary Day, of the State
Department, who returned to Washing
ton yesterday, was asked whether or not
it was true, as reported, that Consul
General Lee, now on his way to the
United States. would not return to Ha-
bana when his vacation Is over. Judge
Day replied that the regular thirty days
raj Lee, and that, so far as he was
aware, there was no reason to suppose
the General would not return to Habana
when the thirty days had expired.
The understanding here is that Gene
raj Lees visit to the United States at
ness, although 1t is probable his pre-
sence here will be taken advantage OF
by the officials for consultation with
him regarding affairs in Cuba. He is
expected TO return to Habana about the
lst of October.
NO SIGNIFICANCE IN 1T.
washington Evening Star, 6th.)
1t is authoritatiyely said there Is no
significance in the return of General Lee
to this country. Assstant-Secretary Day,
who has returned to his office from his
vacation, says that General Lee applied
for thirty days leave of absence, and this
was granted. There was nothing in the
application intimating that General Lee
desired to be relieved of his duties. So
far as is now known, General Lee will re-
turn to Habana when his leave has ex-
pired. If there is any change In this
nroeranme IL will be at the instance or
the President, when he returns. He may
decide TO appoint ex-Representative AID
rich Consul General to Habana. IL he
does this, General Lee will, of course, re-
main in this country. Vice-Consul Spring
er will be in charge during the absence
Of the Consul-General
Despite official statements, there Is a
general belief in unofficial circles that
matters will shape themselves so that
General Lee will not return. The work
under him is in good shape, and 1t Will
rot be necessary that he or successor
shall be in Habana within thirty days
