pointed because affairs are not going

SPAIN wurHDRAws THE REQUEST.
Found That the Government stands
behind General Lee.


Washington, March Spain has with
drawn her request for the recall of Con-
sui General Lee. II is believed the Incl
dent is practically closed. The withdraw
al came yesterday in the shape of an Off
cial communication from Minister Wood
ford.
II is stated the request was never put in
the shape of demand, but was merely a
suggestion on the part of Spain, and when
she found it would not be pleasantly re-
ceived by this country she promptly with
drew the request.
1t is learned that the Spanish objection
to Lee is based largely upon his sympathy
for the Cubans ami some Of his utterances
which have found their way into print. 1t
is understood the Spaniards also take ex-
ceptions to the friendly relations and com
panionship existing between Lee and the
correspondents Of papers which have been
decidedly unfriendly TO Spain. 1t is be-
lieved De LONE carried information calcu-
lated to make the Spanish government
request the recall OF Lee.

for the mines to push work ON them.
Better Times In Eagle Camp.
The news comes from Eagle, Idaho,
that the scheme now in process of dcvel-
opment to dredge the deep placers of that
part OF the Occur d'Alencs promises to
make decided difference in conditions
around Eagle this summer. Not that the
old town will ever again assume the po-
sition that it held during the first rush,
when it was the great center of the
camp, but there will be decided increase
in the number of men working around
there, the past few years having seen
most of the claims in the vicinity lying
idle, although in both quartz and placer
there is plenty to work on.
The machinery for the dredging plant
is all on the ground, and the contract for
the necessary lumber has been let to the
Raven saw mill, to be delivered as soon
as the condition of the roads will permit.
While the placer days are past except
for the miner working in small way
for grub stake or the big company who
can handle gravel by the thousands of
yards, as n quartz camp its history is
yet to be written. There are as good
lodges around Eagle as around Murray,
the gold ribbed bands running through
the country in all directions, either un-
touched or simply located and held by
men who run 10 feet per annum upon
them as assessment work. Nothing is de,
vcloped yet, but the gold shows at the
surface. and the placer gold is here to
show that it was here in considerable
quantities. Beside the gold. it is only
some half dozen miles to where fine ga
lena has been discovered. and beyond that
nobody knows what may be in store for
the prospector, as the country is almost
terra incognita.
A stir In Pierce District.
There is already evidence ,f n stir in
the Pierce district for the season of 1898.
Placer miners are preparing for work.

source OF much feeling in Spanish official
circles. The press dispatches from Mad
rid also disclose that General Lee is held
accountable at the Spanish capital for the
project of the purchase of Cuba by the
United States from Spain as well as for a
general sentiment of sympathy toward
the insurgents.
In the Nature of Retaliation.
The suggestion of Impartial, a leading
government organ, that the next session
of the cortes will consider the case Of
General Lee shows the strong influences
which induced the Sagasta cabinet to ask
his recall. In this connection the fact is
noted that Senor Dupuy de LONE is due
in Spain at this time. His enforced retire
ment on demand by the United States is
| felt to have awakened a counter sentiment
at Madrid which finds expression against
Consul General Lee. There is little doubt
also that such advice as Senior de LONE
would give to the government or to the
press and public in Madrid would not be
co Aducive toward the retention of General
Lee. There is little doubt however, that
the main cause of Spain's action is the
sympathy General Lee has shown for the
.'Ipah sunerers' IL Is known that MS ac'
tive and open sympathy with the people
who have suffered so greatly during the
present ihsurrectioh--ameriean citizens as
wen as native Cuoans-has not peen ac-
cepted by the spanish officials IN Cuoa as
an exhlbition OF dlsinterested ohciaiism
such as Is expected OF consular oihcers.

ton so far as known, but the mere circu-

such views to General Lee has been the
source OF much feeling in Spanish official
circles. The press dispatches from Mad

Within recent days it has been under
stood by officials here that the feeling
against General Lee has been smoothed
over, and the request for his recall was for
that reason in the nature of complete
surprise. There are circumstances which
clearly disclose the grounds for the recall,
although it is not known that Spain has
made any exact specification Of complaint.
Since the Maine disaster a report has been
circulated that General Lee held the per

4 Mysterious Affair.

KEY WEST, Fla, May N.-An affair,
which is involved in mystery, began
yesterday afternoon, when three men
made an attempt to enter the gate OF
the reservation, but were turned oil by
the sentry. No further attention was
given to the incident until last night,
when between ten and eleven o'clock
the sergeant of the guard, near the
mortar battery, discerned the figures of
three men a few yards ahead OF him.
Almost simultaneously with the discov-
cry, they opened fire upon him with
pistols. Three bullets whiZzed past
the sergeant, but a fourth lodged in the
feshy part of his left arm, just
above the elbow. The sergeant
dropped his rifle and before he could
again raise it the men turned and
fled. He sent several shots after them
| and then called the guard. Shortly after
| midnight the sergeant, with several
| artillerymen, returned to the mortar
pit to see if all was right there. as
they drew near figure darted out and
sped to the road and was promptly
| fred upon, but the shot went wild.
| The sergeant declares that on the oc
| casion of the last visit Of the strangers
one of the latter carried suspicious
looking package about three feet long
He is satisfied that all three men were
Spaniards and that the package con-
tanned dynamite with which they in
| tended to destroy the battery.
