LIE At CAMP SANTA MONICA.
Citizen Soldiers Who Disobeyed the

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Au :. Pleasure

mingled at Camp Santa Monica. Not
until last night was the pass requirement
enforced A mum Der of the citizen sol
diers tarried too long outside the lines,
and not having been prepared with passes
to enable them 10 get by the pickets, they
were placed under arrest and passed tn c
night in The gu1rdhouse. To-day the de-
linquents were to police the camp, which,
it may be explained, means that they
were made TO clean the streets and per-
form other meniaI tasks as punishment t.
The camp routine, except for the inter-
val allowed for pleasure, is strictly bus j.

OUR CUBAN POLICY.
Officials at the State Department
Explain the Situation.
NO PASSPORTS ASKED FOR By LEE.
An Unqualified Denial Also Given That the
Consul General Had Requested That
Warships BE Sent to Cuba
Sanguilly Pardoned.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-lnquiry dis
closes the fact that nothing has &C.
cured in Cuba recently, and no clamor
that has been raised over the reported
intention of Consult General Lee to re-
sign has any affect in any degree on
the policy which the administration
has laid down for its guidance. The
officials Of the state department insist
that their record is clear upon
the point at present involved,
namely, the efforts made to ex.
tend legal protection to American
citizens in Cuba. The treatment
of the cases arising from the arrest OF
such citizens in the course OF HOSTILE
ties, it is explained, is most difficult
task, and one requiring delicate
touch to insure that any claim made by
the state department shall be based
upon such a statement of facts as will
not be subject to impeachment. The
officials feel that they have done this
without losing sight of the rights
of any American citizen who has
been imprisoned and they say
that when the administration of the
affairs of the state passes into other
hands, II the law is to be observed,
there will be no opportunity to do
more than has already been done to
safeguard out citizens. Where a
person claiming to be an American cit
izen has resided for years in Cuba and
made 1t his place of business where
he has failed to register at the con-
sulate-general, and where there is a
radical doubt as to the very fact of
his naturalization to begin with, it is
plain, so the officials say, that the de-
partment would make grievous mis-
take and one that might bear evil
fruit for other prisoners by insisting
out of hand, and without allowing an
opportunity to ascertain the facts,
upon the immediate and unconditional
release of the man.
In the other cases. where the Ameri'
can citizenship of the aggrieved per-
sons is beyond question and where
there was no reasonable doubt, either
Of his completely in the insurrection or
Of his having been captured with arms
in hand, the department officers claim
that the record will show that it has
acted with every degree of energy and
speed consistent with sound prac-
tice and diplomatic usages. Touch
ing the statement that comes
from Havana to the effect that re-
lations are strained over the detention
"incomunicado" Of the America, Scott,
II Is said that the man has been placed
in communication with the outside
world, including the United States
consul-gsneral, and that complaint has
been removed. In the case Of Ruiz,

cation has been instituted by the
Madrid authorities upon the represent
atoms of United States Minister Tay-
lor, and it is not doubted that if the
facts as disclosed establish the right of
Ruiz to American citizenship and Of
his killing, the Spanish authorities
will make such amends as international
practice requires.
NO PASSPORTS ASKED FOR BY LEE.
WASHINGTON, Feb ga rumor ap-
pears to have gained wide currency
that Consul-General Lee had been given
his passports and that serious rup-
ture had occurred between the United
States and Spain, but the report is dis
credited here. Senator Hale received at
the capitol telegram from Secretary
Olney in which Mr. 0lney says in effect
that Consul-General Lee never has
asked for his passports, never has
asked for warships and that the whole
story of his rendering his resignation
is fake. Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Thurber, secretary to the president,
said that President Cleveland had not
received the resignation of Consul
General Lee, nor had he been advised
of any such resignation. Mr.. Thurber
likewise made an unqualified denial Of
reports that Gen. Lee had asked that
warships be sent to Cuba.
PARDON FOR sANGUILLY.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.--Senor de
LONE, the Spanish minister, last night

of Tetuan stating that the queen had

1t is stated at the legation that this &C.
ton was agreed upon some days ago at
a cabinet meeting, but the announce
ment was, according to diplomatic
usage, withheld until the queen had
formally signed it.

The Kansas City Council Passes m Anti
Cigarette Ordinance-A Rich Lead

Ing In Utah.

OMAHA, Neb.. Feb. 27.-President
Cleveland's proclamation setting aside
81 900, 900 acres Of land in South Da-
kota and Wyoming as forestry reserve
has created a storm of protests from
the citizens OF Nebraska and her two
northern neighbors. 1t means that
$4,000 settlers in the territory pro-
scribed must move away and find
homes elsewhere. The objection in
Nebraska comes from the railroads
and business men, who say the lines
were extended into the prescribed ter
ritory on the theory that they would
soon be settled, and that people who
put their money into the transporta-
ton companies would profit by the i'm
provements Now they see this land
permanently withdrawn from the mar
ket and the investment practically lost.
NO MORE CIGARETTES For MINORS.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 27.-No more

Claiborne parish, which is my home"
he said, there are about IL, 900 inhabit-
ants. They are nearly all farmers,
there being no cities in the parish. OF
these $4,000, u conservative estimate
would place the number of destitute
persons at about 1000 They are both
black and white and have come to this
condition through no fault of their
own. The poorer classes have now alb
solutely nothing to live on. The state
of Louisiana gave sos, 900 for the assist
ance Of the district, but this was most
ly expended in freight charges. The
farmers were asked to pay % cents a
bushel for the corn. One would think
that almost anyone could raise $3.50
to get 80 bushels of corn, but there
were hundreds who could not. In this
way the poor get none of the state
donation"
