self or the ether consular officers in Gu
ba in any special danger at this time.

ment shat about ten days would be me-
cessary for the consuls throughout the
island to arrange for their departure
except in case of emergency. No defin-
ite action has as yet been taken in re-
gard to the removal of the consuls. but
It seems probable that they will be rc-
called within the next day or two. The
government has given General Lee i'll

consuls and all Americans in Cuba. and
has given him full authority to go to
whatever expense is necessary. includ

cessary to secure this end.
