INTERVIEW WITH GOVERNOR TYLER
Not Surprised, But Still Hopes That
Trouble Nay Be AYerted.
VIRGINIA WOULD DO HER PART
In The Event OF War the Old COM
monweaIth Would Rally Around
the R1ap-The Course of the Ad-
mtpistrntion TO BE Commended.

The people of Richmond will receive
their first intimation of the jar In the
diplomatic relations between our govern
ment and Spain through this extra edi-
ton of the Dispatch. They little dream
cd when they retired last night that they
would wake this morning to find that the
Spanish Government had asked the re-
call of General Lee, and made a protest
against relief supplies being taken to
Cuba in naval vessels.
Governor Tyler, when aroused from his
peaceful slumbers at o'clock this morn
ing by a Dispatch reporter, and shown
the statement Of Assistant-Secretary
Day, said he was not altogether sur
prised that a rupture OF peaceful rela-
tons with Spain was becoming more i'm
minent, as matters had been drifting in
that direction for some days, and the
public mind here. as we'll as in France
and Cuba, was greatly excited.
MUST SUSTAIN GENERAL LEE.
II am surprised" the Governor con-
tinued. that any objection has been
raised to General Lee, and I don't see
on what possible ground his recall can
be based, as his course has, throughout
all of the complications in connection
with Cuban affairs, been marked by
great GOODNESS and conservatism. The
United States could not, in my judgment,
have had a better man at Habana than
gallant Fitz Lee. He has discharged his
duties d!screetly under most delicate and
trying circumstances.
"The course of the administration. as
indicated in Mr.. Days statement. is emf
nently proper" the Governor continued.
Indeed the manner in which this deli
cate international question has been dealt
with throughout has appeared 10 me to
be sensible and conservative. There has
been shown a very proper disposition to
allay public feeling and excitement, and
to avoid hasty action. And even now,
though the outlook is more serious than
we would wish to see it, l think we
should all counsel GOODNESS and endeayor
TO allay the war sentiment as far IS pos
slble. l am hopeful that we may yet
avert trouble. Our people are to be
commended for the patience that they
have shown, when naturally we would
expect great excitement"
WOULD DO HER PART.
Referring further to the possibility OF
war, Governor Tyler said there was no
doubt that the South, and especially Viz
ginia, would do their duty if troops were
needed. His Excelency has received a
great number of letters since the blowing
up of the Maine from men in all sections
of the State. offering their services and
to get up companies and regiments.
Many of these have come from gallant
officers of the Confederate army, who
express their readiness to again serve
their State and country.

| Henri Lame, the American correspondent;
Entapardo Surez, editor of La Re-
| publica, and eleven others have been ar
rested. Eight are in Cell AZ. and five in
| Cell 4S at the Cabanas Fortress. The
names OF the others are Jose Estrada,

ported; Jose Russo. the latter's l5-year-old
son; Manuel Pardo Lopez, Anibal Enri-
ques: Colombia Francisco Diaz, who was

the United States at the same time.
The prisoners are charged with con-
spiracy. In ALL eighteen are implicated.
Eleven, 1t Is said will be sent out OF
the country, and seven to the Isle OF
Pines.
The day has been cool and beautiful
and observed as holiday, especially In
the harbor, which was full of boats bear
ing visitors to the Vizcaya and the Ami
rante Oquendo.
NAVAL COURT CONFERENCE.
The court of inquiry was not in regular
session, but a conference was held In the
morning with Ensign Powelson and two
divers. with whom the court went over
plans of the wreck and charts of the
Maine before the explosion.
The government has finished with the
services Of the wrecking tug Right Arm,
which will leave for the North to-mor-
row. Captain McGee, commanding.
Haggerty and Everett the principal
divers, will remain here. quartered on the
tug Merritt.
The divers worked little to-day and the
government men not at ALL as they were
really so much In need of rest. Diver
Olsen. from the cruiser New York, was
down more last week than in any pre-
vious week in such work.
Captain Juan Caray, Of the Almrante
Oquendo, called to-day on Captain Sigs-
bee and Leutenant-C Commander Cowles,
on board the Fern, and official calls were
exchanged between the officers OF the
port. Admiral Manterola and the chief
officers of the Almirante Oquendo. The
usual salutes were fired as the callers
were received, or Immediately afterwards.
AUTONOMIST MANIFESTO.
The Executive Committee Of the Auto
nomist party issued a manifesto this
morning. which argues at length that a
broadening Of the examination Of the
Colony is needed, and urges the adoption
Of such methods to secure peace as were
agreed upon at the recent meeting of
the Central Committee of the party, the
substance of which has already been
cabled. The manifesto really presents
no new views, and no new solution.
A body found to-day has been identified
as that of Wagner a sergeant of marines.
With five others, II was sent to Key West
to-day, on the Bache. She will return
here soon to relieve the Fern, the latter
acting as a dispatch-boat

WHAT GENERAL sICKLEs THINKS.
spain Has Not Exceeded Her Rights
No Casus Be1Ii.

NEW YORK, March 6-General Daniel
L. Sickles, who was Minister of the
United States to Spain from 1859 to 1874
during which period occurred the strained
relations between that country and the
United States over the Virginius affair,
said to-day, that Spain's object in asking
for the recall of Consul-General Lee was
a serious move. and likely to lead to
serious results"
General sicl1les continued ut is SPANS
right to ask for General Lees
recall When / was Minister 10 Spain
was instructed to demand the recall Of
the Spanish Consul-General here, and my
request was Immediately granted by the
Spanish Government. Spain would be
justified to-day in demanding the recall
Of Consul-General Lee, on the ground
that he is persona non grata,' simply"
us not such action at this time, follow
ing, as IL does, close upon the De LONE
incident and the Maine disaster, sure to
precipitate q warp General Sickles
asked.
Not at all. 1t is merely diplomatic
incident. President Mckinley is at liberty
to refuse to recall General Lee.
and in that case Spain would be perfectly
justified in handing him his passports,
on the single ground that he is persona
non grata.'"
do you consider that this move on
Spain's part puts this country nearer war
than it ever was over the Virgipius
AFFAIR.""
Not at all. If anything, we were
nearer war then than we are now. |
do not regard the request as casus belli.
and 1t is no more than their right to
demand that II we send supplies to these
people, they shall be sent by merchant
vessels. The use of warships at such a
time might justly be regarded as hostile
act on our part. Spains right to de-
mand that these supplies be sent by
peaceful merchantmen cannot be ques-
finned ~

CARING FOR OLD SOLDIERS.
What the Former Confederate States
Are Doing.

General Marcus j. Wright contributes
the following to the Nashville Banner:
The great interest which is now exist
ing in regard to the pension list of the
government may lead to a desire to know
what the former Confederate States are
doing for the support of their INDECENT
soldiers and their widows:
1t is not necessary to repeat what is SO
well and generally known OF the almost
poverty-stricken condition Of the south
ern people at the close of the war, for
it is a fact that while the war really
added prosperity TO many of the North
ern States, it left the people of the South
in a seemingly hopeless condition. AS
soon, however, as they resumed control
of their own State governments they were
confronted with the absolute helpless con-
dition of many Confederate soldiers ana
their widows and children. Private
charities sprung up throughout the coun-
try, but these were soon found inadequate
to relieve the widespread distress. and
appeals were made to the State govern
ments for aid, with what success will APP
pear from what follows: will take the
Southern States in alphabetical order and
give briefly an account of the provisions
made by each for its soldiers.
By an act OF the Legislature of Ala
bama of February IL, 1881, amended by
a subsequent act of February IS, 1895,
any soldier or sailor being resident OF
the State is entitled to receive pen
sion. If he has lost an arm or leg, or re-
ceived such wound in the service OF the
Confederate States as to render him UNI
able physically TO procure a livelihood by
labor, or from any other cause. such as
protracted illness or old age, is rendered
unable TO make a living. Proof Of SER
vice and inability is made before the Pro-
bate Judge of the county in which the
applicant resides. A widow may also
receive a pension whose husband was
killed or died of disease during the war,
or within five years after the close of the
war, provided she has not since remar-
ried. Those owning property exceeding
the value of $780, or an income of that
amount. or wives having a separate es-
tato of $500. are not entitled to receive
pensions. To carry out the provisions
OF the law, a special tax of one half of
1 mill on each dollar OF taxable property
Is assessed and collected as other taxes.
and the total amount thus collected is
nrorated among the total number OF ap-
nllcants passed upon. and s1.2OO OF the tax
is set apart for blind pensioners. For
the year 1882, 1886 soldiers and widows
received $3.50 each per annum. and thirty
eight blind, $3l57 each. In 1893 there were
8. POI pensioners. including widows In 1855
The number had increased to $3.50
For Arkansas. the provisions are very
Similar to those OF Alabama. and there !

TROUBLE IN HABANA.
Question of Disbnnding Volunteers
Danger 10 BiancO.

HABANA via KEY WEST, FLA,
March cor the very keenest interest
10 Habana is the question Of disband-
ing and disarming the volunteers. These
soldiers, whom no one trusts, are In
state of great unrest The colonies OF
thyee battalions have tried 10 see General
Blanco on the subject, but he made ex-
cuses which they refused TO accept or
believe. Finally, General Parade sent
q letter saying that no government would
dare disarm the volunteers. This was
REINFORCED by a cable message TO the
same effect from Senior Moret, Minister
of Colonies, at Madrid. The volunteers,
however noting the strength OF the radi-
cal wing OF the Autonomists, and know
ing that its members are hostile TO the
volunteers, are doubtful OF all profess
sions. The officers OF the volunteers be-
Iieve that the sagasta Cabinet Is In favor
OF disbanding their corps, no matter
what Is said to the contrary. The Co
lonial Government is anxious not only
about the possible action of the volun-
teers. but as 10 what side the unpaid,
padly-ted spanish troops will take. AS
result, there Is general ulsQuletude, not
visible TO an observer perhaps but very
real for all that.
Inc danger apprehended is demon
stration against autonomy and General
BIanco by the volunteers. whom IL would
DO impossible to control when excited
and reinforced by mob from the slums
and who might do incalculable damage 10
