"YOU ARE IN DANGER HERE
CONSUL LEE ADVISES ALL AMER
ICANS TO QUIT HAVANA.
Importance Is Given to This Advice
as 1t Is Known Lee Is Not
Sensationalist.
By Jos: Oil.

Washington. February 23.-tSpecal The
most significant feature of the days news,
a. it is regarded here in Washington. IS
the warning given by General Ice to
Americans in Havana to leave that city.
Throughout his days of trial in Havana
Fitzhugh Lee has been calm cheerful con
1dent There was never trace Of merry
BUSINESS or uneasiness in him.
When he advises Americans to get out
of Havana, the opinion here is That he
fears the inevitable. 1t is believed that in
view of this warning it would be a little
short of suicide for Americans to stay
there
Despite the denials in administration cir
Giles. the work Of preparing for war is
going rapidly on in every department. Il
Is highly significant of the conditions fac
ing the administration that General Alger,
who is really too i'll to be here, has hurried
back from Fortress Monroe TO give his
personal attention to the preparations go
ing on in the war department Another
thing in this connection is significant and
that is the Joint resolution which General
Henderson. of Iowa introduced in the
house today reviving The rank of lieutenant
general of the army. 1t has been the
policy of the government to have no such
officer except in case Of war. 1t is under
stood that this resolution was introduced
al the instance of General Miles who be
lieves there will be war, and who natu-
rally hopes for the honor of supreme com
mand.
AT the Navy Department.
At the navy department: it is said today
that Commodore Schley is to succeed Ad-
miral Sicar1 in charge of the south At
lantic squadron now at Key West Admi-
raj Sicard has been i'll for some time and
has notified the department that his condi-
ton is such that if the fleet puts to sea
he would rather be relieved The an
nouncement of the probability of an i'm
mediate change is taken here as meaning
that the fleet is to be sent to Havana in 4
very short time
The house committee which has in prep
aration the naval appropriation bill took
significant action today. The bill is not
complete but the committee has shown
a disposition to make general increases
all along the line
one provision of the bill gives the secrc-
tary of the navy the right To enlist at once
a thousand men and four hundred appren-
tees. In making his estimates Secretary
Long asked for $1.Np000 for smokcless
powder He did not expect to get more
than a quarter of that amount. but tn"
committee very promptly appropriated the
estimate for the whole amount.
