General Lee recommended the send
ing of the Iowa TO Havana 10 bring
back the court of inquiry. 1t Will be
remembered that a rumOr was printed
that the administration had decided Ia
send the Iowa to Havana 10 impress
the Spaniards with the power OF our
navy. This was at General Lees sug
gestion. He told the government that
the Spaniards could not be made TO be
lieve that we had a formidable navy
unless they had an ocular demonstra-
ton of the fact The Spaniards. he re-
ported. believed the Maine was the
finest ship in the American navy and
that her destruction made ii impossible
for the United States 10 think about
fighting Spain. TO correct this impress
sion General Lee suggested that the
Iowa should go TO Havana barber. take
the court of inquiry ON board. and
speed out again. an operation which
would give the Spaniards some mater
ial for sober reflection. When the fact
of this recommendation came 10 the

WEST IN CONTROL.


Congress Can Be Depended Upon.
One of the curious developments in
congress is the way in which the con
troll of affairs relating to war seems
to- be gradually drifting into the hands
of western men who represent senti-
ment distinctly different from that in
New England. OF late days money
bills i'm congress are made the medium
of a vast amount of important legisla-
ton, ana besides that the voting of
supplies is an essential TO the conduct
of war. 1t is worthy of notice there
fore that the two great appropriations
committees are headed by Senator Ali
son OF Iowa and Representative Can
non of Illinois. The direct work of
cquipping the army fails upon the mill
tarv committee of the house. at the
head of which is General Hull of Iowa.
while the militia committee in the
same body. which in the ease of war
would be almost equally imL ortant. is
managed by Colonel Marsh of Illinois
Eastern Influences Sat Upon.
The naval committees of the house
and senate were exceptions to the gen
eral rule. both being in control of old
members from the state of Maine
Chairman Boutelle on the house side
set his face with curious persistence
against any preparations for war, and
The result was that the committee ran
away from him. and inserted i'm the APP
propriations bill proposition to build
three new battleships and twelve tor
pedo boats. On the senate side the
naval committee has been practically

Took General Lees Advice.

The return of the cruiser MontEO1-
cry to Key West has caused much spe-
Culation. which the authorities have
declined to end by giving reasons. The
real reasons are interesting and show
how grave the situation is. The accu-
racy of this statement cannot be ques-
toned. The Montgomery was ordered
to return from Havana harbOr al the
suggestion of Consul General Lee. He
pointed out to the authorities that the
retention of the cruiser in Havana
harbor was the source Of circulation
of rumOrs. and a menace rather than
a protection in case Of an outbreak.
She could not land sufficient force to
be much. if any protection 10 American
interests. while she was not sufficiently
powerful to cope with the guns OF The
forts and the Spanish warships in case
of sudden declaration of hosiilitieS.
In view of these circumstances General
Lee recommended the withdrawal of
the Montgomery and the substitution
of the Fern or some other vessel OF
the same character. The Fern can per
form equally good services as the
Montgomery in the event that General
Lee or other Americans have 10 leave
Havana in a hurry. and the Fern
stands in less danger of being fred on
than would d vessel Of war.

The Tupy, with two sister craft, is be-
