coUsUL LEES REPORT.
Presents All the Facts Concerning
Conditions in Cuba

Presents All the Facts Concerning
Conditions in Cuba
Washington. May 1l.-During the de-
bate in the senate on the Morgan
Cuban resolution today a strong plea
was made for it's reference to the COM
mittee on foreign relations on the
ground that the state department is
in possession of recent official infor-
nation on the Cuban question, which
it is considered should be consulted be-
fore action is taken by the senate.
This information consists in the main
of "a report by ConSul-General Lee
dated the latter part of April. in which
he deals with the general situation and
presents all the facts at his command
without making any recommendations
as TO the policy TO be pursued by this
government. General Lee states that
the insurgents are decreasing in num-
bers, but that according to the most
trustworthy information at hand there
are more of them now than when he
went TO the island. He explains the
want of organization by the
statement that it is against the Cuban
cepted modern idea, on this point
General Lee also dwells upon the con-
dition of affairs in the island. The
document is of private nature, hut
while it has not been presented to the
senate it is thought it is accessible to
the committee.
