The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1898-03-12

Consul-General Lee says there was
nothing of Importance in the mail mat
ter which he has just received from the
United States.
No Apprehension Felt.
What effect the presence of the Mont
gomery will have no one will be able to
tell until she has been here several days.
She is so much smaller than the Vizcaya
or the Almirante Oquendo that il is APP
parent TO everyone that she was not
sent in a warlilSe mood, but only to re-
place the Fern. There is no appre-
hension among naval officers that the
Montgomery will share the fate OF the
Maine.
Lee Not OmcinIIy Advised.
Havana, via Key West, Fla, March 10.
Havana escaped the excitement Of
Sunday last which seems TO have
reached high pitch at Key West and
elsewhere. Consul General Lee was not
advised from the state department OF
the request from Madrid for his recall,
nor OF the withdrawal of the request.
Information as to both points was fur
nished TO him by n correspondent. In
the absence OF particulars, Gen. Lee be-
lieyes that the request was prompted by
the autonomists, who probably alleged
that he was not a believer In autonomy
as il exists here. and therefore asked
his removal TO get stumbling block out
OF the way. Consul General Lee is on the
best of terms with Gen. Blanco, Senior
Spanish merchants.
IL I'm No Danger.
All assure him of absolute protection.
even II the volunteers should make a
demonstration. Gen. Lee believes the
volunteers would be controlled by the
merchants in whose employ they are.
I Others doubt this, but the ranking
! colonel of the volunteers assures Gen.
Lee that the consulate and the Amer
leans would I'm no event be the object

SPAIN BACKS DOWN.
Explains That Proposal Was Made ON
Incorrect Reports.

Washington, March s.--There were
no less than five important events Mon
day having a bearing more or less di-
rect upon the troubled relations be-
tween the United States and Spain, viz,
the introduction in congress by Mr..
Cannon OF resolution carrying $780,
600 900 for the public defense, the with
drawal by the Spanish government of
its intimated objection TO the continu-
ance in office of Consul-General Lee,
the order TO the cruiser Montgomery
to proceed to Havana in place of the
Fern, the passage through the house OF
the bill increasing the artillery arm by
two regiments, and the institution of
negotiations looking TO the purchase of
warships for our navy.
Mr.. Cannon's resolution probably led
oil other topics in interest, particularly
when IL became known that il was the
result of a conference between the ar-
thor, the president, Senator Hale and
other leading spirits in congress.
Lees UnpIcnsnnt Position.
AS for Gen. Lees case, the news Of the
satisfactory ending of the incident
through the withdrawal Of the sugges-
ton by Spain was expected as soon as
IL was noted that loophole had been
left open through the failure TO make
the complaint in anything like an off,
cial shape. Some fear is expressed that
the consul-gepernl will not find his post
very congenial, now that he knows he
Is an unwelcome guest in Havana, but
the administration is relying upon his
devotion TO the welfare OF the Ameri-
cans In Cuba and American interests
generally TO submit his own personal
wishes TO restraint and remain at his
post.

the appropriation as a wise measure in
time of peace. Henri Lame. the Ameri-
can correspondent, has been expelled
from the island. He left on the Plant
line steamer Olivette at noon Wednes-
day.
War Fund Not Yet Allotted.
Washington, March l0.--The feature
of the days events was the promptitude
with which the senate passed the house
bill carrying the appropriation of $780,
100000 for the national defense, and
the haste with which IL was put through
the formal proceedings, engrossed and
signed by the president, While the mat
ter has been considered il can be stated
that the fund has not yet been allotted
among the various branches of the gov
eminent service. Each of these had
prepared roughly and tentatively an
estimate of the funds IL could dispose
of TO advantage, but upon looking
over the ground the president con-
cluded that IL would be well, perhaps, to
avoid making the allotment until the
necessity became apparent. The rea-
son back of this is that the sum that can
be profitably spent for warships cannot
even be guessed ut with any approx
nation to accuracy just now. AS the
ships are to be first choice in the steps
for defense until their cost is ascer-
tanned it is not possible to divide the re-
mainder of the appropriation among
the other branches of the military and
naval services.
| May Report Next Week.
The statement is made at the navy
department that the report of the
Maine court of inquiry probably will
come to the department some time next
week 1t does not appear. however, that
this statement is founded upon any di-
rect report from the court, but
is rather an estimate based upon
the progress SO far made as re-
vealed by the change of methods
on the part OF the court. IL is not ex
pected that Lieutenant Commander
Mark, the judge advocate of the court,
will leave the court until it has com
pleted its labors, as il is the custom fol-

President Congratulated.

Many congratulations are coming 10
the white house and the state depart
ment from all parts of the country upon
the patriotic spirit exhibited in dealing
with the latest phases of the Cuban
question. Most of them are official in
character, but many are personally di-
rected TO the president

President Mckinley, il is believed,
will force settlement of the Cuban
problem within 80 days.
Positive assurances have been re-
ceived that Europe will not interfere in
behalf of Spain.
dispatch from Berlin says that the
war cannot be avoided and that Spain
is preparing to defend it's honor.
Orders have been issued to prepare
the protected cruiser Philadelphia for
sea service.
IL is probable that the United States
will buy quantity of big guns in Eu.
rope.
Congress may pass resolution thank.
ing Fitzhugh Lee for his patriotic con-
duct as consul general at Havana.
Secretary Long is making every eff
fort to obtain information as TO war

from foreign governments. Capt.
Brownsop has already sailed for Europe

Great Britain is said to have need for
all warships building In her yards, and

A Mothers Devotion

One thing in this cold, heartless
world never grows cold, heartless or
fickle-a mothers love and devotion.
Another instance came to light here
this week. Mrs. Cruey, who lives
here, walked all the way to Saltvii G
last week to get up petition to
have her son released from State
prison. 1t will be remembered that
Mich. Cruey was sentenced from
that county last June to States
prison on a charge of forgery, the
amount being about $500. The
common wealth's attorney and other
prominent citizens there, and large
number of our best people here
signed the petition, which will be
presented to Governor Tyler.
