date when the troops now at Savannah
will be sent to Cuba. A prominent
member of the administration said to-
night that General Lees corps would
be dependent, TO a certain extent, upon
the movements of the forces in evacu-
ating the island. The American troops
he said, might sail this week and they
might not sail for a month. 1t is the in
tention of the administration, however,
to land General Lees troops in Cuba
before the LIST of January. That date
has been fixed finally as the time for
the evacuation of the Spaniards. An
effort was made by the Spaniards to
obtain an extension of the time for
evacuation until the LIST of February,
but the proposition was refused by the
American commission. The recall at
this time of Colonel Hecker and Colo
mel Lee from Havana is to secure their
aid here in the working out of the de-
tails for the reception of the troops in
Cuba. General Fitzhugh Lee came to
Washington from Richmond last night,
but remained only until an early train
this morning. His business was purely
private and he called on no war depart
ment officials. Important orders will be
sent him early this week relative to the
movement of his corps, but as yet the
war department has not disclosed their
nature.

to the Lisbon Papers: 'Serpa Pinta shot

the governor did shoot his cook by ac-

The regret of this mans life is that
he never learned the A B C's, and to
this day he cannot spell the simplest
word. This ignorance has kept him from
taking knighthocd honors, which have
been offered him by the Portuguese

HECKER AND LEE RECALLED.
Summoned to Washington By secre-
tary Alger.

Colonel Lee-of the United States spe-
cial transportation commission, re-
ceived- cablegrams from Washington
last night directing their return to
Washington by the first steamer avail
able. The messages, which were from
Secretary Alger,. were very brief, sim
ply directing the recipients to report to
the war department, and there is con-
siderable perpleXity as to the object of
the recall. Replies were Immediately
dispatched to Washington, but up to
the hour of filing this dispatch no re-
Joinder had been received, thus leaving
the matter of Colonel Recker's depar-
ture doubtful, though Colonel Lee will
leave tomorrow by the Ward line
steamer Seneca The supposition is
that the death of Colonel George War
ing, jr., in New York City has necessi-
tated some change in the plans of the
war department. General Wade and
Lieutenant Cious had a long conference
with Colonel Lee and Colonel Hecker
this evening.
Colonel Lees departure will leave the
commission on transportation and the
selection Of camp sites without chair
man and the quartermaster' depart
ment without disbursing officer Dr.
O'Reiily, upon whom the craftsmanship
of the two committees will devolve
will be appointed to General Wades
staff as chief quartermaster.
The impression is general among the
Americans here that the recall of Col
onels Lee and Hecker at this particu-
lar juncture is highly significant
