Key West, Fla. March 6.---The supplies
for the starving Cubans will not be taken
on the cruisers Montgomery and Nash
vile. 1t is understood that the dispatch
beat Fern will perform the duty. Tho
change of plan was ordered from Wash
ington yesterday friday.
A very high naval official, in the course
OF an interview this evening, said: The
Fern is much better suited for those duties.

Il should not be surprised to learn that
spain had dcmanded the recall OF Consul
General Lee. II is only natural to sup
