QUIET AT HAVANA
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-No word
has been received at the State Depart
ment from Consul General Lee since
Saturday last, which is taken as an
indication that all is quiet there and
that the situation remains unchanged.
The department has been informed
that the Spanish authorities in Havana
had seized certain supplies consigned
to a private individual, but there IS
no cause for complaint III this incident,
inasmuch as the agreement by the de-
partn!ent with the Spanish authorities
for the free admission OF supplies for
the suffering Cubans looked to the con-
signmen- OF ali such supplies to Con-
sul-General Lee and the exclusion of
individuals from! the privilege of free
admission OF goods, a provision neses-
sary 20 prevent frauds upon the GUS
toms revenues.
