GENERAL LEE EXAMINED.
Court OF Inquiry Holds a Brief Session al
Havana.


HAVANA. March 9.-The court Of in.
auiry did little during the day. Consul
General Lee was very briefly exam
ined and also one diver. Considerable
time was spent on the wreck. Captain
Sampson listened patiently to various
theories propo unded by newspaper men
and others as to the causes of the ex.
plosion. Evidently he attached little
importance to any Of these stories, but
he intimated that he would investigate
any that he deemed worth investigat.
ing. The Spanish divers put in good
days work, examining chiefly the for
ward part of the wreck on the star
board side. Captain Peral of the Span
ish court of inquiry was at the wreck
in boat for some time during the aft.
