DIPLOMATIC ABsURDITY


WASHINGTON, Feb. %, 1Ss7-From
two distinct sources statements were re-
ceived here early this morning that Con-
sul-General Lee, at Havana, had receiv-
ed his passports.
This rumor naturally caused excitement
and a general desire was expressed to
know definitely whether Gen. Lees con-
tenplated withdrawal from Havana was
mis- own act, resulting from the accept
ance OF his resignation, said to have been
cabled last Sunday, or whether it had
been brought about by the action of the
Spanish AUTHORITIES in Cuba, dn which lat
ter case its s;gnificance would be much

on this occasion, added that the exciting
statements put out were simply an at
tempt to run the State Department
through the newspapers.
It was again said this morning, as COM
ing from Secretary Olney that there vas
no change IN the CUBAN siluatlon- linus

The report, however, caused a nusser r
at the Senate END OF the Gapltoi. Where

not beyond the truth to saw that a very
considerable nortion of the Senate homes
the report is accurate for they' say that
nothing short of an overt act on the part
of Spain sufficient to compel this Govern
ment to assert itself will bring the trou-
BILE on that island to an end or bring
about the protection of American citizens.
Il hope to Heaven the report is true,
said one of the members of the Committee
on Foreign Relations, when told of the
rumor IF it prove to be the case, there
is but one way out of the thing, and the
United states VIII be compelled to take
hand in Cuban matters"
1t was also agreed that a special meet
ing OF the committee should be called to
corsider the Sanguiliy case as soon as 1t
shall be disposed Of by the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations held a special meeting this morn
Ing for the purpose of again consider
ing the resolution reported yesterday in
struct.ng the PRESIDENT TO demand the
immediate release OF Julio Sanguiliy, an
American citizen now confined IN prison
IN Cuba This meeting was forced by
mittee on Appropriations who, through
chairman Allson, gave notlce yester-
