TRYING TO TRAP LEE.
A Compromising Letter Said to Have Been
Secured.

Havana, via Key West, Fla, Feb. 10
There is a rumor that the palace authon-
tiles have letter written by Consul Gen
eral Lee, the contents Of which ale as In
teresting, even exciting, for Spain, as the
De LONE letter to Canalejas was for the
United States. Another rumor was set
adoat that Genaral Lee had resigned,
a strong effort is being made to get Gen
eral Lee into the same boat with De LONE.
The members Of the Autonomist Cabinet
do not like him. He did not visit them
officially as the real head Of the Govern
ment in Cuba, SO they thought to secure
some private letter written by General
Lee.
1t was thought that General Lees frank
ness in conversation insured the existence
of such missives, and the opinion was re-
Gently expressed that General Lee would
have to go, too.

Religious Services.

For some weeks past it had been under
stood that the Rev. l. p. Martin, pastor
of the Methodist church, was contempla-
ting holding series of meetings for the
purpose of giving vitality to the church
membership and winning souls to Christ,
On last Sunday he announced that he
would begin the services on Monday, the
following day, at 3:15 p. m. That day he
approached the business men Of the town
and obtained their consent to close their
respective business houses for one hour, or
during the continuance of the afternoon
service. This was done and good con-
gregation attended the first service of the
meeting. On Tuesday and yesterday at
the same hour of the day similar services
were held, and on each occasion the con-
gregation was enlarged and more interest
manifested. \ deep seriousness has been
pervading the atmosphere of Tazewell for
several months past, especially with some
af the young persons. Recent sad events
have intensified this seriousness, and made
many stop to contemplate the fearful dan
gers Of a life of recllessness and dissipation
Church members and protesting Christians
have awakened to the fact that they, per
haps, are not doing their duty or setting
q proper example for the unbelievers. The
call of Brother Martin is most opportune;
it seems to be meeting with a hearty re-
sponse from the different churches in the
town, whose pastors ere attending the ser
vices and manifesting warm disposition
to unite in the work.
We believe that Tazewell is about to
have most successful and useful religious
awakening.

SPAIN WILL NOT APOLOGIZE.
Her Foreign Minister Insists i bat the
Incident is Ended.

Madrid, Feb. l2.-The attitude in off
cial circles and the editorials Of the Min
istelial press show that Spain does not
intend to offer an apology to the United
States or even an explanation for the De
LONE letter. The Spanish Admiuistra-
ton will seek refuge behind the fact that
Minister Woodford's demand for De
Lome's recall was not presented until after
De Lome's resignation had been presented;
also that by the recognition Of Senor De
Bose, at Washington, as Charge d'Atlaires,
the United States closed the incident.
\ correspondent to-day obtained inter
views with Senor Gullon the Foreign
Minister, and Senor Moret, Minister for
the Colonies. Senor Gullon said the
Eupuy De LONE letter incident was re-
garded, both at Madrid and Washington,
as absolutely ended from the moment
when Assistant Secaerary of State Day
conferred with Senor Du Bose.
Senor Moret said although there
exists in the United States a party eager
for war and which strives to provoke a
conflict, President Mckinley will try to
avoid one; and the Spanish Government
also will use its utmost to avoid any fresh
friction whicl. would make the relations
between the two countries more strained. !"

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.

He Names Thursday, November 24, as Day of Thanksgiving. Washington, Oct. 2S,-The president, after the cabinet meeting to-day, issued the following thanksgiving proclama- ton:
 By the President of the United States.
 A PROCLAMATION.
 The approaching November brings to mind the custom of our ancestors, hal lowed by time and rooted in our most sacred traditions, of giving thanks to Almighty God for all the blessings he has vouchsafed to us during the past year.
 Few years in our history have af- forded such cause for thanksgiving. We have been blessed by abundant harvests, our trade and commerce have been wonderfully increased, our public credit has been improved and strengtn- ened all sections of our common couu- try have been brought together and knitted into closer bonds of national purpose and unity.
 The skies have been for time dark ened by the cloud of war but as we were compelled to take up the sword in cause of humanity, we are permit ted to rejoice that the conflict has been of so brief duration and losses we have and to mourn, though grievous and inn portant, have been so far, considering | the great results accomplished as to | inspire us with gratitude and praise to | the Lord of Hosts. We may laud and magnify His holy name that the cessa- l tion of hostilities came so soon as to | spare both sides the countless sorrows and disasters that attend protracted war.
 | I do therefore invite all my fellow | citizens, as we'll those at home or those who may be at sea or sojournng in for I eign lands, to set apart and observe l Thursday, the 24th day of November,
 as q day of national thanksglvin@, to l come together in their several places of | worship, for a service of praise and
 thanks to Almighty God for all the
 blessings of the year for the mi dness of the seasons and the fruitfulness of l the soil, for the continued prosperity of 1 the people, for the devotion and val3r l of our countrymen, for the glory of our l victory and the hope of righteous | peace. and to pray that the divine l guidance which has brought heretofore
 to safety and honor may be graciously
 continued in the years to come.
 In witness whereof, etc, l (Siened), WILLIAM MKINLEY. By the President:
 JOHN HAY, Secretary of State.

A TOBACCO COMBINE.

Report That Syndicate Has Been Or
 ganized to Absorb Number of Com
 panies.
 New York, Oct. 2S--A syndicate has been organized for financing the pro- posed organization of a company to be called the Continental Tobacco com- pany, which company will acquire the following concerns: John Finier S5 Brothers, Louisville, Ky; P. H. Mayo & Brothers, incorporated, Richmond Va; Daniel Scotten & Co.,, Detroit, Mich; the P. J. Sorg company, Middletown, O.: Harry E. Weissinger Tobacco Co.,, Louisville, Ky; the P. Lorillard Co.,, Jersey City N. J.; the Drummond To- bacco company. St. Louis, Mo-. and the plug tobacco business of the American Tobacco company of New Jersey.
 All the properties and rights of the various concerns will be taken over ex- cept in the case of P. Lorillard & Co.,, where all the common stock. consisting of the par value of $3.000000, is pur- chased, thus giving the Continental company control of that company. its organization being maintained. While some of the concerns acquired manu- factured snuff and smoking tobacco, and will continue them as their exist ing business in those lines, the pr,nci- pal business of the new concern will be to manufacture plug tobacco. The output of plug tobacco of the different concerns acquired aggregated over 100,- OOO.0OO pounds per annum and it is ex- pected that net profit of at least four cents per pound can be realized largely by a reduction in the advertising and manufacturing expenses.

Number or second Papers Issued This
 Year is Small.
 Up to o'clock last night there had been issued during the past week by the court of common pleas SO6 second papers of naturalization. This number is much below the number made during the week of making voters in previous years. Two years ago between 1,S00 and 1,4Oo second papers were issued and four years ago about 500 were issued. During the past week the court has remained in session evenings until the adjournment of the board of registra- tion of new voters at 8 o'clock. Many have called for second papers, but on finding that they would be obliged to pay fee of $110 went away without taking out their papers, saying that they could not afford to pay the money.
 Although republican and democratic political workers have been endeavor- ing to have all names possible put on the list of voters, they could not furn- ish the money to pay Tor second pa- pers for those who could not afford the fee as this is forbidden by statute, each applicant being required to furn- ish the fee himself. The evening ses- sions of the court of common pleas were concluded last night.
