euliarly Outrageous.
Washington, March 2. - President
Cleveland yesterday sent to the senate
correspondence relating to American
citizens arrested in Cuba. The most i'm
rortant are the kilograms in the case Of
Charles Scott, which are as follows, be-
ing kilograms sent by Consul General
Fitzhugh Lee to the state department.
No replies from the state department
are given in this case. On Feb. 20 Lee
telgraphed as follows to the state de-

No charge given. Been without COM

necessary to sustain demand.
LEE"
On the 23d he said in a cable message:
Situation simple. Experience at Guam
abacoa made 1t my duty to demand be-
fore too late that another American who
had been incommunicado twenty-four
hours be released from said incommu-
nicado. and did so in courteous terms.
If you support it and Scott is so re-
leased the trouble will terminate. If
you do not l must depart. All others
arrested with Scott have been rut in
communication. Why should the only
American in the lot not be? He has
been incommunicado now 1888 hours.

ments furnished show that Lee prompt

that Olney responded Immediately, di-
recting him to see that all of Scoveps
rights as an American citizen were pro-
tected.
ScOvel Had discriminating Papers.
The letters and kilograms in this case
run from the 5th to the 18th of Febu-
airy, when Lee wired that a competent
lawyer had been secured to defend
Scovel. He had said previously that he
did not anticipate serious trouble in
this case, but later changed his opinion.
1T is supposed Scovel bore incriminat-
ing papers, which gives the case a more
serious aspect" On the 18th of Feb
ruary General Lee said that Scovel was
in a we'll ventilated cell and that he had
good food and a bed at Sancti Spiritus,
to which he added: Treaty rights have
been respected. Is in hands civil juris-
diction. have sent messenger to report
