GENERAL LEE
 IS PUZZLED Has Received No Word From State Depart
 ment for Days.
Feels He Has Been Sliqhted by Diplomats Who Should
 Keep Him Posted.
All Americans at Havana Realize the Serious Situation and Are Pre-
 pairing to Depart.
Copyrighted, 1898, by James Gordon Bennett.

HAVANA, April 2.-The situation here is more serious General Lee has received no communication either by mail or cable from the State Depart ment at Washington since March 2S, though he has sent several dispatches.
 Consul Barker at 'Sagua and Consul Brice at Matanzas have likewise not heard from the State Department or General Lee, and they would be in formed if grave steps following Spain S reply had been decided upon at Wash ington. In the absence of information such as he would probably have by this time, if the Government had decided that he would have to leave Havana, General Lee is led to think that diplo- matic relations may continue between the two countries longer than the ex- tremists say is now possible.
 Many Americans were at the consul ate and at Dr. Brunner's office to-day preparing for departure or seeking ad- vice. All who asked advice were told they must be guided by the weight of their interests here as compared with the gravity of the situation. I notice that many who Scoffed at the poSSibil- ity of trouble two weeks ago, who were not affected during the previous peri ods of excitement, are pessimistic this evening. l have been told by a conf dential agent here of big New York firm that for the first time in the his tory of the Cuban trouble had wired a warning that Americans in it's employ here should be ready to leave.
 General Lee has not abandoned hope that immediate trouble will, be averted in spite of the feeling here among all classes that it's shadow is now upon the two great nations. Military men here show patriotic enthusiasm, but up to this hour, in spite of the fact that ev- cry one is talking of the situation there has been no sign of disorder and for eign residents go about as usual The next Ward line ship will carry off some of the remaining Americans and others will go to Key West and Tampa. Some families having young children will go to Mexico.

NAVAL LIEUTENANTS
 ORDERED TO THE EAST.

Lieutenant Geo. M. Stoney, in charge of the naval rendezvous at 10 Califor- nia street, and Lieutenant w. S. Hughes, in charge of the United States branch Photographic office at the Mer- chants Exchange, have both received telegraphic orders from Washington through Admiral Kirkland at Mare Is- land, in command of the Pacific station, to proceed East immediately and re- port to the commandant of the Brook lyn navy yard
 The naval rendezvous has been crowded for some days past while the enlisting of seamen and engine-room men has proceeded under recent orders. This work Lieutenant Stoney turned over to his assistant, no one having yet been designated to take his place and proceed to get ready for his immediate departure for the East
 In the absence of other instructions Lieutenant Hughes leaves the work of the Photographic office in charge of MT. J. T. McMillan, the nautical ex- pert, and leaves for New York to-mor- row in company with Lieutenant Sto- ney. The lieutenant did not know what further orders they would receive on arrival at Brooklyn navy-yard, but pre- sumed that they would each be as- signed to duty on one of the new swift yachts just purchased by the Govern ment, as dispatch and observation boats.

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid
 Troubles Can Be Quickly Cured.
You May Have Sample Bottle of tbe Gret
 Discovery Sent Free by Mail.

There Is no more serious menace to health and strength than any derangS- ment of the kidneys.
 Swamp Root is the great discovery or Dr. Kilmer, the eminent physician and specialist, and will be found just what is needed in cases of kidney and blad- der disorders and Uric Acid troubles due to weak kidneys, such as catarrh of the bladder, gravel, rheumatism and Bright's Disease, which Is the worst form of kidney disease.
 It corrects inability to hold water and promptly overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day and get up many times during the night.
 The mild and the extraordinary effect of this great remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures, and is dispensed by druggists in fifty cent and one dollar bottles.
 So universally successful is Swamp Root in quickly curing even the most distressing cases, that to Prove it's won- derful merits you may have a sample bottle and a book of valuable. tnfor- nation, both sent absolutely free by mail upon receipt of three two-cen, stamps to cover cost of postage on the bottle. The value and success. of Swamp-Root are so well known that our readers are advised to write for a sample bottle and to kindly mention the San Francisco Sunday Call when send- ing their address to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,.

As we are by nature subject to many diseases, the only way to guard against all stampedes on our health is to make study of our own physical self
 If a peculiar pain attacks you, try to locate it's origin and discover which or gan of the body is sick and in need of attention.
 If the kidneys are at fault-and in almost every case in the failing of our health they are-look we'll to their res toration to health and strength
 They are the great filters of our body, and consequently, the purity of the blood is entirely dependent on their cleansing powers.
 If the kidneys are not in perfectly clean and healthy condition, the blood becomes impregnated with impurities and decay of the kidneys soon takes place. If your desire ,to relieve your self of water increases, and you find 1t necessary to arise many times dur ing sleeping hours, your kidneys are sick. AS they reach a more un- healthy stage, a scalding and irritation takes place as the water flows, and pain or dull ache in the back makes you miserable. If the water, when all lowed to remain undisturbed for twenty-four hours, forms settling or sediment, you are in the grasp of most serious kidney or bladder disorders.
 If neglected now the disease advances until the face looks pale or sallow puffy or dark circles under the eyes, the feet swell, and sometimes the heart acts badly,

ending of this everlasting and ruin ous Cuban question. They are many. There are also few who harbor the illusion that Spain could whip the United States in battle at sea, which would be sure to occur. There are many who would like it merely to do damage to the United States, to sink cruiser or two, and to drive trade from the United States to other countries.
 But the absolute sentiment of the public is that there is absolutely nothing to fear. Spain has nothing to lose and everything to gain by war with America. By reverse Spain would lose Cuba, say they, but what of thatp She has virtually done so already. A half successful fight with the United States would bring the fighting renown of Spain once more to the fore.
 General Woodford yesterday was pessimistic, quite a new characteris- tic with him, and which points to the extreme seriousness of the situation. Senor Moret, on the contrary, seemed to be entirely optimistic. All the more so, as he had seen @ telegram from New York stating that Presi- dent Mckinley could hold Congress.
 The Minister of Marine is the most active of all the Cabinet Min isters, for it is fully realized that whatever Spain can do in case of war will be with her navy. Not line about naval matters is allowed to be telegraphed out of the country, and the censorship is of the keenest at Cadiz. All hands are working over time in the docks. The cruisers Cristobal Colon and Infanta Maria Teresa have arrived there, and the from Ferrol. Every effort is being made to have the finishing touches put upon the Pelayo and Carlos V. The Alfonso XIII has arrived at Cartagena for her trials, and inn mediately afterward will join the others at Cadiz. The gunboat Hal con is in Cartagena, and will start for Cadiz.
 These will about form the squad ron which will accompany the three torpedo boat destroyers and three torpedo boats as soon as they are ready to sail. And with them will go as an auxiliary the newly pur- chased yacht Giralda. The Princess de Asturias is being hurried forward, but will not be ready for some time. The torpedo boat destroyer Audaz has been made ready for sea. She makes the third of the destroy CTS, the other two being the Destruc- tor and the Proserpina.

MILITIAMEN
 ARE ANXIOUS Prepared to Go to the Scene of Conflict if
 War Comes.
Colonel Smith and the First Regiment Seek to Face
 Spaniards in Battle.
Gaillard Stoney Raising a Regiment to Be Officered by University
 Graduates.

The recent events in connection with the preparations for war have aroused a great deal of enthusiasm in the Firs, Regiment of Infantry of the, sNationa Guard, located in this city, and for the past two weeks much quiet work has been done toward placing the regiment in position to be sent to the front or very short notice. So far have these preparations gone that Colonel James F. Smith, the commander, has rendered the War Department the services o1 the regiment, with a request that il may be sent, if needed, to the point where it can be of the greatest practi- cal benefit.
 The regiment, composed of twelve companies, is short only about 200 men to bring it up to it's maximum strength and the officers have assurance of more than sufficient men to fill the ranks It has sufficient arms to supply all the men, is provided with tents and all necessary camp equipments. The only things lacking at this time are over coats and blankets, but arrangements are being made to secure these on very short notice. There is probably no other regiment in the State that is so fully prepared to go into the field as is all anxious to go so as to be the first to represent the State of California.
 Gaillard Stoney, assistant City and County Attorney, has started move ment to recruit regiment which will be officered by officers of the University of California Cadets. He is a grad uate of the university. and while at that institution was an officer of the cadets. AS soon as there is assur- ance that there will be enough men to make up the regiment it will be offered to the War Department.
 Adjutant- Barrett was in con- sultation for quite long time on Fri day with Lieutenant-C Commander Thomas A. Nerney, acting captain of the Naval Militia, on the subject of the orders received few days since from the Navy Department, which are that a report shall be made without delay as to the condition of the Naval Militia of California. There will be forwarded detailed report of the num- Der of available men, and of the quail fications of the officers.
 The Marion will be removed from her berth at Howard-street wharf and an- chored in the stream, where she will remain in charge of the Naval Militia and be used as school ship upon which to instruct all men who may be enlisted for the navy. The monitor Camanche, which is undergoing repairs at Mare Island and is to be armed to it's capacity, will, it is said, be brought to this city and turned over to the Naval Militia and then placed on the third line of defense of San Francisco harbor, which includes Fort Mason at Point San Jose, Alcatraz Island, Angel Island and the Sausalito Heights.

VERY BITTER
 AT HAY ANA Spaniards Plainly Show Their Hatred for All
 Americans.
At Night the Prado Is Filled With Recruits Drilling and
 Making Ready for War.
Those Who Think the Cuban Capita Is Not Loyal to Spain Are -
 Very Much Mistaken.

Copyrighted, 1898. by James Gordon Bennett.
 HAVANA, April 2.-The feeling is, naturally, very bitter, though the Gov ernment continues it's praiseworthy as surances that Americans in Havana will be protected. The truth may as well be told. Those who imagine that Havana is anything but loyal to Spain are mistaken. The city is stirred from center to circumference with patriotic ardor. No thought is given to the pos sible outcome of a conflict with the United States. The opinion prevails that the honor of Spain has been as- sailed, and men of all classes are anX- ious to avenge it.
 At night the Prado is filled with re- cruits drilling and making ready for a possible emergency. The cafes are nightly crowded with excited throngs, who discuss the outlook and maintain their temper with difficulty. An of ficial last night said to me that the sensational American papers had wrought up the evil passions of the people until he feared that the Ameri- can demand for war would prove ire sistible. He spoke of those who are responsible for these papers as guilty of bringing about wholesale murder, which he says war amounts to in mod ern times
 A story that three American warships were seen patrolling the Cuban coast is not believed. The Vizcaya, which went out with the Oquendo last night was spoken early this morning by the Mascotte, lying off Havana. The Viz caya is believed to have gone on to rejoin the Oquenda.
 Captain Cowles of the Fern last night received a cipher dispatch from Wash ington which he was unable to read. He believed that it contained important orders. A duplicate has been asked for to-day. The guard about the American consulate will be increased tomorrow, and no gathering in the Parque Cen tral will be permitted.
 The commercial world here is as pan icky as can be imagined. A dispatch was recently received from J. P. Nor gan by a correspondent in this city, saying that the situation grows worse and worse. This dispatch was talked about in banking circles, and created a greater impression than any news that has come from the United States in a week. The conservative position gen. orally assumed by Morgan is fully rec ogniZed.

URGES RETALIATION

BUDA PESTH, April 2-In the de- bate on the estimates in the House o1 Magnates Count Szechenyi re- ferred to the prohibitive tariff of the United States and urged that the Aus Hungarian Government take ac. tion, even to the point of retaliation.
 The Minister of Commerce admitted that the sugar exports have suffered greatly. He said that it would be ex- pedient to adept a definite attitude to- ward the United States in regard to the tariff. The initiative, the Minister of Commerce said, could not be taken by Hungary, but he hoped that the Euro pean States that were injured by the United States tariff would agree to take united action and carry out vigorous policy.
