Spain Requests Supplies be not Sent
and for Lees Removal.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Much bit
ter feeling is expressed here today
over Spain's request for the recall of
Corsul General Lee. The president
and his cabir ct have declined the re-
quest. More serious, however, is the
Spanish minister's request that the
warships Nashville and Montgom cry
be sent to Cuba with supplies for the
starving reconcentrsdos. That was
also declined. The cruisers will make
two trips. The Spanish minister msy

Representative Cannon's extraordi-
nary bill sppropriating fifty millions

thought TO have been suggested by

gency.

CONCLUDES TOMORROW.
The Board of Inquiry Will File Their
Report Thursday.

KEY WEST, March 7.-Advices from
Havana this morning say the return of
the board of inquiry Saturday caused
great excitement in that city It is
said that the board, after hearing some
more testimony today aad tomorrow at
Havana, will leave fer Washington
and prepare their report during the
journey. Bards of Spaniards are
parading the streets of Havana today
shouting, "Death to Yankees" The
general opinion among Spaniards of all
classes in Havana is that war must be
declared Immediately against the Unit
ed States. The arrival of the two
Spanish warships last Saturday made
the Spanish forces in this city exceed
ingly ips2lent in their treatment to
Americans.

The Naval Board of Inquiry and Secre t
Service Detectives.
HAVANA, (via Key West.) March 7.
Uncle Sam is not asleep. There
have been two Investigations in the
Maine disas ter in progress, but both
g. e secrets One is by the naval board
of inquiry appointed by Secretary
Long, and other by the United States
secret service detectives. The latter
has been conducted with even more
secrecy than the former. Few people
in Havana are aware of the fact that
at the time the naval board of inquiry
came to Havana half a dozen picked
men from the secret department also
came, their object being to make an in
dependent investigation on the Span
ish side The Spanish government was
aware of the latter's presence, but
could rot locate them. This secret
service scheme will be more effective
to our government than the naval
board in finding the cause of the dis
aster.
There are indications of hostile de-
monstrations in the city today. It is
not believed an outbreak can be pre-
vented very long.
