THE COURT OF INQUIRY.
1t Briefly Examines General Lee
Habana Notes.

HABANA, March S.-The court of in
ouiry did little to-day. Consul-General
Lee was very briefly examined, and also
one diver. Considerable time was spent
on the wreck. Captain Sampson listened
patiently to various theories propounded
by newspaper men and others as TO the
cause of the explosion, and also to state
ments as to hawsers found in the har-
bor and boiler-iron on the shore. Eyi-
IDENTIFY. he attached little Importance to
either Of these stories. but he 'intimated
that he would investigate anything that
he deemed worthy.
The Spanish divers put in good day
work. examining carefully the forward
part of the wreck on the starboard side.
CAPTAIN Peral, of the Spanish court or
inquiry, was at the wreck in a boat Tor
some time during the afternoon.
The orders for the Bache were changed
at the last moment to the Dry Tortugas'
instead of Key West. If there was any
significance in the change, it was not
made public.
COMING OF THE MONTGOMERY.
Captain Sigsbee has advised Admiral
Manterola, as has also Consul-General
Lee. of the expected incoming OF the
cruiser Montgomery, and a buoy has
been dSSlSntu " hNis NhN'N w

IL was a case of the collection Oh taxes
under a decision of the Superior court
which refused to sustain an injunction
asked for by six banks against SOUTH
Town Collector Ernest. The bill sought
TO enioin the collector, on the GROUND
that the assessments were excessive and
fraudulent.
The banks affected were the First Ma
tional. Fort Dearborn National, North
western National, Globe National, Bank
ers' National, and National Bank OF
America.
The decision Of Judges Shepard and
Freeman was pronounced this morning.
Efforts to notify Il. b. Tolman, coun-
sci for the banks, failed. while the at
torney for the Nuth-Town collector,
John J. Rooney. secured at once GER
tilted copy of the courts order. Armed
with this copy, and with special bailiffs
at their heels, Collector Ernest and At
torney Rooney fastened to the First Ma
tional Bank and demanded immediate
payment of the tax
Mr.. Forgan was astOnished. and led his
visitors into the office Of the banks at
torney Orville Peckham.
This is news to me-" said Mr. Peck
ham. You will allow me at least 70
communicate with my associate solicitors
before going any further"
Collector Ernest replied that he would
levy on the banks property instantly, un-
less the money was forthcoming, and
close the banks doors.
1--WE have enough men TO close this
bank" said Attorney Rooney.
After a hurried consultation, Mr.. Peck
ham advised the bank TO pay the tax,
rather than risk such a disturbance Of
business as might follow.
Collector Ernest was given $50, ,23.12,
with due notice that his right to take the
same was denied.
All that was required was n sight OF the
warrant. and little explanation to the

witness. and testified that he had known
X. f. Westcott for thirty years. and that

man Of strict business integrity. He did
not think Mr.. Westcott would enter into
such a conspiracy as was charged against
Captain Carter.
Mr.. Depew also knew Captain Carter,
through Mr.. Westcott, who tried to get
him a position on the New York Central
road. SO far as he knew, Captain Car
ter's character was good.

dence thirty-three checks signed "R. h.
Westcott, by o. M. Carter, attorney
These checks were taken from the check
book which the court had refused 10 ad-
nit. The first check was made payable
to b. d. Greene, was for $40, and was
dated December 8, 1895. The defence OBJ
jected, but was overruled.
The court refused TO admit eleven
checks, made payable to the defendants
mother and two brothers. A number OF
checks TO the order of Captain Carter
and signed by him as attorney for MT.
Westcott were admitted without obJec-
ton. They ranged from $3.50 TO Fo,OvO
each. The total was si7,50O.
Major Adams. of the Engineers corps
who testified yesterday, was recalled for
cross-examination by Mr.. Blair, who dl-
rected his efforts toward showing that

ments which were being used against
Captain Carter had been illegally seized

Trip lie Explained.

WASHINGTON, March SIN conjunc-
tlon with the intimations Of the Spanish
Government regarding Consul-General
Lee and he class of vessels in which
the relief supplies were TO be sent TO
Cuba. a third inquiry was made.
Captain Crowninshield was the subject
of a request for information as to the
nature of his recent trip to the West
Indies. The Spanish Government had
been informed that Captain Crownin-
shield on this occasion had been in COM
munication with the insurgents, and even
went so far as to give them indirect
aid, through flibustering expeditions.
When the matter was brought to the
attention of President Mckinley an inn
mediate denial in explicit terms was re-
turned. Spain thereupon closed the in
cident with an acceptance of the Presi-
dents statement, saying they had been
misinfOrmed.
