SPAIN'S TWO REQUESTS.

BITTER ATTACKS OF THE MADRID PRESS on
CoNsUL-GENERAL LEE
Madrid March G--Sehor GullOn Spanish Min-
lister Of Foreign Affairs, recently lntimated 70
United States Minister woodford that the Span
ish Government desired the recall from Havana
Of Consul General Lee and that the American
warships which have been designated to convey
supplies to Cuba for the relief OF the sufferers
there should be replaced by merchant VESSELS
In order to deprive the assistance sent 70 the
reconcentrados Of an official character.
Minister Woodford cabled the requests TO the
Washington Government. which replied. rerus'
ing to recall General Lee In the present circum-
stances or to countermand the orders for the
dispatch Of the war vessels. making the repre-
sentation that the relief vessels are not hgh'ins
ships.
For several days the newspapers have been
violently attacking Consul-General Lee.
The "Imparcial," after remarking that IAN
American newspaper has insnuated that Cen
eral Lee is a member Of syndicate desiring 70
purchase Cuba says:
His III will toward Spain Is so marked that
American newspapers inimical to Spain are
remarking IT," The "Imparciar' calls upon the
Government TO demand the replacing OF Consul
General Lee, who instead OF tightening the
DOn0S OF 1TlenQSnlp DctWcrU Opnii o"N wv
United States. daily renders the situation more
threatening" 1t adds that the next session OF
the Cortes will CONSIDER Consu-Ceneral Lees
conduct"
The Havana correspondent Of the "Imparcar
says:
Among the packages OF food sent by the
Americans to Cuba the customs officers FOUND
watches jewelry and other contraband articles
All such parcels consigned to Consul-Gen-
eral Lee. who is said to have energeticany pro-
tested against such contraband, declaring that
It was without his knowledge"
Other papers accuse General Lee OF being
better disposed toward the Cuban insurgents
than toward the Colonial Government" The
Spanish press, however, in no wise reproaches
United States Minister Woodford, whose con-
duet Is regarded by them irreproachabe and
who seizes every opportunity to express pacific
sentiments.

recOncentrados.
Meagre details Of this unexpected double De-
mand on Spain's part have been obtainable
