Consul General Lee TO the officers Of
the Maine. The list Of guests on that
occasion is said TO have omitted some
OF the Spanish naval officers, and To
have included. quite conspicuously. the
names of a number OF American news
paper correspondents who were re-
garded by the Spanish officials at Ha-
vana as antagonistic to them. This
also came TO the attention of the Of
fials here. but was not made the basis
for any action. but rather OF unofficial
Spanish criticism of General Lees gen
eral mode OF procedure.
Ii has been understood By officials
here that the feeling against General
Lee has been smoothed over, and the
request for his recall was for that rea-
son i'm the nature OF a complete sur
prise. There are circumstances, how
ever, which clearly disclose the grounds
for the recall. Since the Maine disaster
report has been circulated that Gen
eral Lee held the personal opinion that
the explosion was due to external cause.
No official report of this character was
ever sent to Washington so far as is
known. The press dispatches from Mad
rid also disclose that General Lee is
held accountable at the Spanish capital
for the project of the purchase of Cuba
by the United States from Spain, as
well as for general sentiment of SYM
pathy toward the insurgents.
There is little doubt. however. that
the main cause of SPANS action is the
sympathy General Lee has shown for
the Cuban sufferers. 1t is known that
his active and open sympathy with the
people who have suffered so greatly
during the present Instruction, Ameri-
can citizens as we'll as native Cubans,
has not been accepted by the Spanish
officials In Cuba as an exhibition of dis
interested officialism such as is expected
of consular officers. There were COM
plants during General Weyler's adj
ministration of his conduct. but never
in full official form. AS a matter Of
fact Spain requires no formal excuse
for the dismissal Of consular officer
according TO international law
But Consul General Lee is in one re-
spect unique, in that he endowed with
semi diplomatic powers by the wish of
our government and by the consent of
the Spanish government The request
OF the Spanish government for his re-
call may therefore be regarded as tam
tamount to a demand for the recall OF
an Objectionable minister. There must
he some substantial or satisfactory rea
son for such a demand in such cases
and as those presented against General
Lee proba bly, were confined to the acts
he has so far performed with the full
sanction and approval of President Nc
Kinley, the demand was not enter
tanned. Under such circumstances the
incident would close unless Spain took
the decisive step OF insisting on Gen
eral Lees recall. and this falling. giving
him his exequatur.

States had given like answer in the
negative. The first intimation of these
steps came in a brief and explicit cable
dispatch from Madrid. Prior to its
receipt, however, the authorities here
had been fully conversant with the
facts, although no intimation had been
allowed to get to the public on either
subject. The disclosures from Madrid
left no further ground for reticence in
Washington, and after conference at
the White House between the presi-
dent Assistant Secretary Day and Sec
rotary Long the following authorized
statement was handed to the Asso-
ciated Press by Judge Day, as compris-
ing everything that was to be said by
the administration on the subject.
Will Not Even Consider the Request.
THE president will not consider the
recall o. General Lee. He has borne
himself throughout this crisis with
judgment, fidelity and courage, to the
presidents entire satisfaction. AS 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 Sagua." Beyond the
foregoing those who had participated in
the conference at the White House
would not discuss the subject, and ii
was stated positively that the author
lied statement comprised everything
that would be given to any one. The
advices from Madrid, together with the
authoritative statement here, left no
room for doubt as to what had occur
red. The request for General Lees re-
call is understood to have come within
the last few days. 1t came through
Minister Woodford, a somewhat un-
usual procedure.
Lost No Time in Replying.
The other suggestion of the Spanish
government-that relief supplies should
not be sent in war vessels-did not
come through Minister Woodford, as
the Madrid dispatches state. but was
presented by Senior du Bose to the state
department last Friday. The responses
in both cases went direct to Minister
Woodford. There appears to be no rea-
son why change should be made in the
plan for sending these ships on the re-
lief mission, and without attaching
grave significance to the request Of the
Spanish government the answer was
made that the plans for the trip were
completed and that the stay Of the
ships would be brief and Of the most
pacific character. In responding to the
request for General Lees recall, after
a brief exchange between the White
House and the state department, the
negative answer was dispatched by the
president to Minister Woodford. Such
matters as these are generally laid be-
fore the cabinet and freely discussed
but in this case there was nothing of
that kind. The whole matter was Eek
pedited."

erty to refuse to recall General Lee. and
In that case Spain would be perfectly
justified In handing him his passports
on the single ground that he Is persona
non grata."
do you consider that this move on
SPANS part puts this country nearer
war than IL ever was over the Virgnius
AFFAIR.""
Not at all. II anything. we
were nearer war then than now. I do
not regard the request as a casus belli.
and II is not more than their right TO
demand that IL we send supplies TO these
people they shall be sent by merchant
vessels. The use of warships at such
q time might justly be regarded as a
hostile act on our part. SPANS right to
demand that these supplies be sent by
peaceful merchantmen cannot be ques-
toned"

The justification for protective tariff
on the broad grounds of political science
is to prevent international relations which
tend To injure the industrial growth
weaken the political power or lower the
civilization of the nation. This is not
only true of nations, but it is true of the
classes and interests within nations. All
the laws of civilized society are con
structed with view to preventing the
lower and less advanced in the commun-
ity from injuring the more advanced
1t is only by protecting superior quail
ity of personal character that social i'm

of progress be extended to the lower OF

Key West, Fla, March THE sup
plies for the starving Cubans will not
be taken on the cruisers Montgomery
and NASHVILLE. 1t is understood that
the dispatch boat Fern will perform the
duty. The change of plan was ordered
from Washington Saturday or Friday.
A high naval official, in the course of an
interview last evening, said: The Fern
is much better suited for such duties. L
do know that the change of plans was
brought about by SPANS demand. am
inclined to think ii is the result of a
suggestion from Key West. The Fern
is only a tender to the fleet, but is still
a vessel of the fleet and of this navy.
1T is far better that these cruisers
should not go 10 Cuba under the present
conditions. / should not be surprised TO
learn that Spain had demanded the re-
call of Consul General Lee. 1t is only
natural to suppose that she is anxious
to seize upon any circumstance which
she might consider would offset the

were greeted with prolonged cheering
and shouts of Long live the king" The
scene was most imposing. The great
hall of the capitol was splendidly dec
Grated and all the ministers. leading
authorities, diplomats and military Off
GERS were present. The speech was de-
livered from the throne, and was in re-
ply to the addresses OF the senators
and deputies.
All Italy Was Illuminated.
His majesty met with the most en-
thusiastic greetings from the people
while on his way from the Quirinal to
the capitol through the troop-lined
streets. The king on returning to the
Quirinal received another vocferous
ovation from the immense crowds of
people in the streets, in the balconies
and on the house tops. Patriotic socie-
ties, bearing banners and headed by
bands of music, assembled on the plaza
to greet him. After his majesty entered
the Quirinal with the Count of Turin
they were obliged to appear twice on
the balcony in response to the cheering
OF the people. Similar demonstrations
took place throughout Italy All the
principal towns in the country were IL

lie monuments and the forum were H.
Illuminated and the scene was beautiful.
The municipality held a brilliant re-
ception at the capitol.

Spantards DO Not Approve OF Either HIS

The grounds on which General Lees
recall was asked are not officially dis
closed. 1t is known, however, that the
Spanish government has chafed for
some time over General Lees presence
in Havana, although this had never
taken the form of a definite protest
prior to the present time. 1t began to
assume a more serious aspect shortly
after the arrival Of the Maine at Ha-
vana. At that time General Lee es-
corted Captain Sigsbee on his round of
official calls. These were made with due
formality, but the Spanish officials took
offense when their calls were restricted
TO General Blanco, Admiral Manterola
and the representatives of the military
arm OF SPANS service, and did not in i.
clude Premier Galvez and his associates
in the autonomous cabinet, who repre-
sent the new civil regime which Spain
is seeking TO enforce.
The matter came to the attention of
Senior Dupuy de LONE. then Spanish
minister at Washington. and although
there were no protests the situation
doubtless reached the state depart
ment, as suitable amends were made by
Captain Sigsbee calling on DR.. Congosto

United States to Spain from 1869 to 1874.

strained relations between that country

NEWS CAUSES GREAT EXCITEMENT.
Washington stirred Up More Than at Any
Time Since the Maine Disaster.

Time Since the Maine Disaster.
Washington, March 1.-THE news
concerning General Lee aroused the
deepest interest and no little excitement
throughout Washington. and for the
time being the usual quiet Of Sunday
evening was put aside In hotel corri-
doris, at the clubs, and in all public
places ii was the absorbing topic. and
not since the Maine disaster was such
widespread popular interest evinced in
the Spanish situation. The announce
ment Of the purpose of the government
to send supplies to Cuba on naval yes
sells was made last Wednesday. Within
twenty-four hours there were signs of
resistance on the part OF the Spanish
government At first this took the shape
of q formal inquiry by the Spanish
charge-Senor du Bosc-as to the cor
rectness Of the report, the inquiry being
couched in an incredulous tone.
Later, when the affirmation came,
there was lodged, not formal protest,
but rather an insinuation that the
movement of the naval ships would not
be acceptable; that ii would be con-
strued into an act Of active sympathy
on the part of the government of the
United States with the insurgents. But
the president had satisfied himself that
the course he had chosen, that of send
ing the supplies in a naval vessel, was
the only one that promised sufficient and
prompt relief. There was no time for
polite diplomatic exchange Of notes,
when according TO General Lees advice
people were perishing from hunger by
hundreds every day in Cuba. and the
Spanish charge was so informed.
