SATISFACTORY SETTLEMENT.
The Incident I'm Regard 40 Consul
General Lee Closed.

General Lee Closed.
The satisfactory settlement of the case of
Consul General Lee through the withdrawal
by Spain of the suggestion for his recall
was expected as soon as it was noted that
a loophole had been left open through the
failure 90 make the complaint in anything
Ike an official shape. Some fear is eX-
pressed that the consul general will not
find his post very congenial now that he
knows he is an unwelcome guest i'm Ha-
vana. but the administration is relying
upon his devotion to the welfare of the
Americans in Cuba and American interests
generally to submit his own personal wishes
10 restraint and remain at his post.
Mr.. du Bose the Spanish charge, received
a cable from the minister of state at Mad
lid, Senior Gullon, last evening, saying:
You can disavow the rumor that any
official application has been made for the
recall of General Lee"
In the story in The Star yesterday the
types made IL appear that General Wood
ford's dispatch announcing Spain's recess
sion was sent last Tuesday when it should
have been Friday.
1t is learned that Spain's suggestion was
made originally upon a misapprehension,
which was due to a newspaper report. This
report was to the effect that General Lee
had expressed the opinion to a newspaper
correspondent that the Spanish authorities
were responsible for the disaster TO the
Maine. Accepting this report as to Lees ex-
pressions accurate the Spanish prime
minister brought the matter to Minister
Woodford's attention, making at the same
time the suggestion that General Lees re-
call would be gratifying to Spain.
1t did not require great while for Spain
to discover that General Lee had been, &C.
cording to the United States authorities, in
correctly represented. Before this discov-
cry was made. however, the reply of Presi-
dent Mckinley refusing to heed the SUCCESS
ton and expressing a determination to keep
Lee at his post was received. Spain then
retired from her position, basing her retire.

gestion had been founded upon a msap-
prehension of facts

MIR. BOUTELLE's VINDICATION.
Withheld Measures mt the Request o.
the Admf ni RAJ ton.


Representative Boutelle. chairman of the
House naval committee, made the following
statement last night:
AT an interview with Secretary Long on
Sunday, at which the subject of authoriz-
ing the President to provide for emergen-
cies was discussed, suggested the desira-
bility of a conference of the executive off,
GERS with representative members OF the
House and Senate. AS a result, confer
ences were held at the White House, in
which the President, Secretaries Long and
Alger, Senators Allison and Hale, chair
men Of the Senate committee on appropria-
lions and naval affairs, and Chairmen Cam
non and Boutelle, chairmen OF those COM
mittees in the House; Chairman Dingley of
the ways and means, Congressman Grosve-
nor and others participated.
Some ten days ago / received from the
Navy Department requests for certain leg
fslation In connection with naval affairs,
but before action could be taken the Sec
rotary and President desired that the meas
ures be temporarily withheld, as possibly
liable at that time to infame the public ex-
element, and because the objects immedi-
ately sought could be otherwise attained.
For maintaining silence in this regard
/ have been subjected to very serious crit
icsms in the public prints, but that is what
every faithful public servant must expect
to endure from time to time.
"At the conference today IL was deemed
advisable to give the public the assurance
that Congress would invest the President
with a discretionary power to prepare for
all emergencies, which should be broad
the possibilities OF events. and there
fore, instead of passing various bills au-
thorizing specific action under the several
departments, general credit OF fifty NIL
lions of dollars should be- reported by the
appropriations committees of the two
houses. and placed at the disposal of the
President to meet any exigency that may
arise. Speaker Reed was in personal con-
ference with the President during the day
and will prepare for prompt action upon
the bill in the House.
This legislation should not be interpreter
as indicating that war is expected. but an a
precautionary provision and an assurances
TO the world that the government at WASH
ington. in all its branches and without dis.
tinction Of parties or persons. is and will be
solidly united In everything that pertains
to supporting our President In the main
tenance Of Just relations with our fellow
men and the upholding of the national diSl
nifty and honor" :

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The rev "out-
law" national bicycle organization, the
American Cyclists Union, held its inaug-
ural meet this afternoon at the Interna-
tional Park, many crack riders taking
part. The crowd was small. All the events
were professional. Eddie Bald, the presi-
dent of the new union, gave an exhibition
paced mile in 1:43 90 and won the two
thirds open handily. H. r. Freeman, of
Portland Ore, was threwn off in the sew
enth event and picked up unconscious.
Major Taylor. the colored lad, who is
struggling for the championship, was UNI
fortunate in being frequently pocketed. 1t is
likely that the riders who participated at
the outlaw track will be suspended from
the old national league. Summaries:
Two-thirds mile, open: E. 9. Bald first, Or
lando Stevens second, Major Taylor
third. Time 1:25.
