PRESIDENTS FIRM STAND
Refuses to Recall Gen. Lee Upon
Spains Demand.
Latter Government Forced to Back
Down, and Withdraws the Request
Says 1t WAS Only IA
Suggestion.

Washington, March THE Spanish
situation developed two new phases
Sunday, when it became known that
the Spanish government had formally
requested the recall of Consul-General
Lee from his post at Havana, TO which
request the United States had courteous
" but firmly refused to comply; also
that the Spanish government has sug-
gcsted the improperly of sending re-
lief supplies to the Cuban reconcen-
trados on the cruiser Montgomery and
gunboat Nashville, to which suggestion
the United States had given like an
swer in the negative.
The first intimation of these steps
came in brief and explicit cable dis
patch from Madrid. Prior to its re
ceipt, however, the authorities here had
been fully conyersant with the facts,
although no intimation had been all
lowed to get to the public on either
subject. The disclosures from Madrid
left no further ground for reticence in
Washington, and after a conference
at the white house between the presi-
dent, Assistant Secretary Day, of the
state department, and Secretary Long,
of the navy department, the following
authorized statement was given out by
Judge Day, as comprising everything
that was to be said by the administra-
ton on the subject:
President Refuses.
1.-THE president will not consider the re-
call of Gen. Lee. He has borne himself
throughout this crisis with judgment ndel-
ity and courage. to the presidents entire
satisfaction.
LAS to the supplies for the relief of the
Cuban people, all arrangements have been
made to carry a consignment this week
from Key West by one OF the naval vessels,
whichever may be best adapted and most
available for the purpose to Matanzas and
