INDIGNATION AGAINST LEE.
Publication in Hnbana of Els Maine
Testimony.

HABANA, April Ii, IL z. M.-The inter-
ruption in the cable service and the fact
that no dispatches were received for a
time caused extravagant rumors, utterly
without foundation. to be circulated.
About ; o'clock this evening La Lucha
published an extra, which was eagerly
snatched up from ,he news-venders. The
extra contained General Lees declara-
tions at Washington that Spanisrds eX-
ploded the Maine mine. The news that
he had made this statement produced
great Indignation. the public commenting
upon it i'm the streets, stores, and cafes,
and condemning General Lees conduct IN
various ways There was considerable
agitation. but no disorder, nor is there
anv fear that the existing order will be
disturbed. The government is taking pre-
cautions against disturbance, by REIN
forcing the police patrol.
Dispatches from Madrid say that the
government is taking an energetic att-
ture. and this intelligence gratiiies public
opinion here.
The news of the armistice has now
reached many Of the insurgent localities
and II is said insurgents have been seen
near Mariana with white flags.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April H.-tSpe.
cial.) )--The decision OF General Lee TO de.
cline all invitations TO hold public re.
ceptions meets with general commenda.
tion and the approval even OF all the
invitation committees, though. Of course,
the latter are grievously disappointed.
General Lee is still United States semi
diplomatlcofIicial. He Is now hsre In D
capacity advisory to the government,
and the country is Oh the verge Of wal
with Spain. He Is In daily consultation
with the State, Navy, and Army depart
ments, and to-day had a special confe.
renee with General Nelson A. Miles. the
ranking general OF the United States
army All OF this Is significant. II is
believed that General Lee. as previously
intimated, will be made major-general
IN the United States army, and placed
In command of the volunteers or of any
invading force that may go to Cuba
Among the Generals callers to-day
were Senator Daniel who cordially wei.
coined him back, ana had ten minutes
pleasant and interesting conversation
with him. which was also greatly en-
joyed by Major ]. ID. Patton and Mr..
Fred. s. Myers, Of Richmond, and o
newspaper man. who were present.
SEVERAL BAGS OF NAIL.
General Lees mail has grown to such
enormous proportion that the State De-
partment to-day detailed two official
stenographers TO answer mis- letters. He
has several bags Of mail, some Of which
has Just arrived from Habana. The
General has not for some days opened
any letters but those from Mrs. Lee and
some of a strictly official nature. 1t is
believed that his accumulated mail will
be found to abound In tenders OF service
for military bnty in the event OF war.

"a declaration Of war against Spain by
the United States would be a grievous
mistake.
"The situation in Cuba has been most
erossly-yes. criminally-exaggerated by
irresponsible persons. for the purpose OF

United States.
"The people of Cienfuegos, where l was
stationed. were profoundly grieved and
surprised at the idea OF war between
snain and the United States. when left
there"
How many Americans are there in
Cienfuegos?'
1T should say about 80 in all.
Mr.. McGarr was especially emphatic
on the point that Americans were In no
danger at Cienfuegos.
"HOW about the reconceHtd duo9'
"They number between 1850 and 100 In
Cienfuegos." said Mr.. McGarr. There IS
no denying they are in bad condition.

Mr.. McGarr.

Ordered to DO So.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Spanish
Minister, Senor Polo, has made final pre-
parations for his departure from Wash
ington, but no actual step in that direc-

Until to-day the Spanish Minister has
continued to accept the social courtesies
extended TO him, these being numerous.
and including the hospitality Of Cabinet
officers and others high in the government
service. In view. however, Of the reports
Of the foreign committees in Congress,
and of the grave trend Of affairs, he has
decided not to accept further courtesies
of this character.
