ports. There have been several in
 stances in which the United States expressed it's dissatisfaction With Min 1sters resident and other nations nave likewise asked this Government to re- call it's representatives. Notable cases
 being those of ex-Senator Henry w. Blair, whose rejection by China was made before he sailed for his post of duty. A case not so recent was that of Sargent of California, who was re- Jected by Germany It IS universally recognized that nation has the rlght to reject any diplomatic representa- tive who is distasteful without assign ing any reasons for this displeasure, and it must be conceded that Spain has the same right to ask for General Lees recall that we had for asking Spain to withdraw Senor De Lome. It IS true that our reason in the case Of De Lorne was a valid one, for he was proven guilty of a fragrant breach Of d1plo- matic propriety, while General Lee has not thus been guilty of any such inn propriety. But that fact cannot be urged, for Spain in her note did not assign any reasons, merely declarlng that they would like to have Lee With drawn because his presence IS felt to be prejudicial to Spain's interests My opinion is that following custom and precedents, the United States Govern ment had no right to ask spain to specify her reasons, and the President probably looked at it this way too The flat refusal of President Mckinley to comply with Spain's request would ordinarily result in nothing but the issuance of passports to Consul-Gen- eral Lee but the request of Spain that we transport supplies to Cuba in mer- chant vessels, and countermand the orders to the Montgomery and Nash vile, is quite a different matter, ana likely to lead to serious results. fnas- much as the President Is determined 10 send these vessels to Cuba. What rate will befall them? Will they be regard ed as men of war or as transports coming to Cuba on a humane mission

 M'KINLEYS COURSE.
His Refusal to Recall General Lee Gives Satisfaction in Every
 Quarter.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Speaking of the Madrid dispatch made public by Assistant Secretary Day, Chairman Davis said:
 "It is a circumstance which, added to the present strained conditions, makes things more vexatious. l ap- nrove the Presidents action in every particular"
 Senator Pettigrew said: T certainly approve the Presidents course in the matter. I should judge the request to recall our Consul General is somewhat unusual and under other circumstances
 would be compiled with, but the con-
 ditions precedent to this case took 1t
 out of the usual rule and justified the
 Presidents action. I think that, in
 view of the fact that it is conceded the
 Maine was blown up, the President would be justified in sending battleships loaded with combustibles, as, well as food. and filled with armed men. 1t seems to me we cannot accept any set tlement short of the independence of Cuba"
 Senator Cullom said: T regard the course pursued by the President in an swer to the Spanish Government as right. Justified by all the conditions and the American people will indorse him in the position he has taken. l have be- | lieved for some time that we were near ing a crisis from day to day, and 1t has seemed to me that the spanish
 Government was endeavoring to bring on a conflict between that Government

 would be almost forced into war with i Spain. I do not well understand, in 1 view of the manifestation of interest 1 this country has taken in the conflict
 which has been going on between Spain l and the Cubans, how withdrawal of
 any kind could be thought of. either l from the point of view of national in 1 terest or of common humanity. Our people do not want war, neither does l the President, but neither the President l nor the people will submit to any hu- initiation at the hands of the Spaniards l I think it is another step on their part l into forcing an issue between that Gov ernment and our own.'

 Havana eastward. there being only semi-weekly service by steamship ana that subject to many vexatlous local restrictions When the United States cruiser Montgomery returned rom her cruise. which included the Cuban ports of Matanzas and Santiago. the officers brought narrowing tales of the distress existing there. Captain Crowninsh1eld, the chief of the Navigation Bureau or the Navy Department, an offlcer or the soundest discretion and judgment, was on the ship, an accidental passenger. He told President Mckinley directly what he had learned. The result was the immediate decision of the Navy De- partment to accede to the request or the relief committee in New York to forward it's supplies to the eastern ports of Cuba. One of the American lines of steamships running to New York had offered to take the bounteouS contributions of the American people to Key West, and the President him. self gave the order for their carnage 10 Eastern Cuba by any of the available ships of the North Atlantic squadron
 The announcement by the press or the purpose of the Government to send supplies to Cuba on naval vessels was made last Wednesday. Within twenty four hours there were signs of resist ance on the part of the Spanish Gov ernment. At first this took the shape of an informal inquiry by the Spanish Charge d'Affaires d as to the correctness of the report, the inquiry being couched iy, fy,nr Ir1n the affirmation came, there was lodged. not a formal protest. but rather an 1n- situation that the movement Of the naval ships would not be acceptable; that 1t would be construed into an act of active sympathy on the part of the Government of the United States with the insurgents. But the President had satisfied him. self that the course he had chosen that of sending the supplies in a naval vessel-was the only one that promised sufficient and prompt relief. There was no time for polite diplomatic exchange of notes when, according to General Lees advice, people were perishing from hunger by hundreds every day in Cuba, and the Spanish Charge was so informed.
 Senor du Bosc,. when seen at the Spanish Legation to-day, could add lit tie to the fund of information on the two subjects which were attracting so much official and public attention. He had received no word from his Govern ment concerning General Lee. and he stated positively that no suggestions concerning General Lees retirement had been submitted to him by the State Department. AS to the sending of relief supplies by the Montgomery and Nashville MT. Du Bose said he felt that merchant vessels were much bet ter equipped for such service, and their use was not open to that misconstruc- tion possible in sending supplies by vessels of the navy.
 The news concerning General Lee aroused the deepest interest, and no lit tie excitement throughout Washington and for the time being the usual quiet of Sunday evening was put aside. IT | hotel corridors, at the clubs and in al public places 1t was the absorbing top ic, and not since the Maine disaster has such widespread popular interest been evinced in the Spanish situation.

Sdl OillCey ISlSSS IlOOoC,
 Washington, March 6.
 Talk of war with Spain was heard wherever groups of Congressmen con- gregated in public places tonight. The cry of New York extra papers by news boys brought an unusual number Of people down into the business. part of the city, and the hotel Hobbies were soon filled with members of Congress and Government officials.
 The expreSSiOnS of opinion heard to- night were diverse, but the general be- lief is that a crisis is at hand, and the developments of the next few, days will settle the question of a conflict with Spain. The belief was expressed in some quarters that the President might send a special message to Congress to- morrow and lay before that body the correspondence of this Government with Spain concerning the request for General Lees recall, and the counter manding of the order to the Montgom- cry and Nashville. But the prevailing belief among Congressmen is that he will send no message at this time, for there Is no necessity for it. The Presi- dent has, of course. full power to ex- erciSe his executive functions in both matters, and needs no authority or ad- vice from Congress, besides it is be- lieved that the sending of special message would only aggravate the sit uation, by emphasizing its gravity and might incite Congress to nasty and ill., advised action.
 Although most members of Congress believe that war is inevitable, few were found tonight who argued that Spain's request for General Lees re- call need not aggravate the trouble and they .cited many cases wherein diplomats had been given their pass ports without causing any breach be- tween nations. The Call correspondent asked a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House what would be Spains probable course in dealing with the "obnoxious'' Consul-General Lee, and he replied:
 When the presence of diplomat becomes distasteful to the Government to which he is accredited. that nation need only express this fact, without stating the reasons therefor; and the objectionable diplomatic representative is usually recalled by his home gov ernment, but if the request for his re- call is refused he is handed his pass

HISTORIANS OF PERSIA.
Lecture of Interest by Dr. Yonan in PN.
mouth Church.

Dr.. Jesse Malloch Yonan of Persia
talked very interestingly Wednesday
evening, in Plymouth Church. about the
missions among his people, the Nestor-
ians of Persia.
After graduating from the mission
school in his home, Mr.. Yonan came to
this country, and studied in the Rush
Medical College of Chicago, and is now
about to return to Persia as a medical
missionary. He said in part: "My. peopIe
the Nestorians-descende from the
Chaldeans and accepted Christianity
about the first century. In the fourth
and fifth centuries, the Missionary spirit
was strong among them, and they sent
many missionaries to India and China.
on account of their religion they have
been almost exterminated by the Mo-
hammedans; for, at the time of their
conversion they numbered five million,
but now they are a scant 100, 900. The
speaker dramatically described the mas
sacre Of seventy bishops of the church
by order Of the shah of Persia, and also
told of the fearful conditions that pre-
vail today Fifty years ago-for they
had fallen from the virtue of their
fathers-American missionaries came
among them, and have established
schools and churches and made thou
President Andrews of Brown, in which
he denied that there were Christian con-
Verts among the Mohammedans, was
warmly refuted. The speaker thought
that missionary work in Persia had
been successful; for even one soul saved
represents a value which cannot be
measured in money.
