GEN. LEE SORE AT BLANCQ
Resents the Snub he Received on Leaving
Havana.
Consul General Anxious TO Lead an
Army to Cuba-lias Information
Regarding Maine Disaster

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
KEY WEST. Fla. April 1.-THE squad.
ron here is ready to follow UP the Presi-
dents message. That is all there is to the
naval situation. Consul General Lee is
returning to Washington. hoping that in
the event of war he will be given a COM
mand. 1t is his ambition to return to
Cuba at the head of American troops and
with no Spanish nag to salute.
The action OF Captain General Blanco in
refusing to see him when Lee called at
the palace to take leave and the subse-
quent scenes i'm the harbor when the Span
ish Ill feeling was shown by overt acts,
rankle with the consul general.
Lees statement that he had a report to
make to the President, but had no addi-
tional evidence to present regarding the
Maine disaster is a diplomatic one.
He can give the committees Of Congress
supplemental Information Of value. The
understanding that Lee has the original OK
the Weyler letter about mines in Havana
harbor, and the plans Of those mines, Is
probably correct. The last American ship to
leave Havana will probably be the Seneca,
which was to sail this morning. She will
not touch at Key West. but will proceed
direct to New York. II any Americans re-
peril is Of their own seeking. Warning was
given them in good time and ample oppor-
tunity afforded them to leave. The prob
ability is that Blanco will suppress the
most disagreeable part Of the Presidents
message and keep the people In Ignorance
for several days. PEPPER

that the premises Ieferred to are covered
by the act of January &C. 1897, providing
for the protection Of property from fire in
the District Of Columbia. This act requires
the placing of fire escapes and certain
lights and gongs i'm buildings of a certain

 The complex picture which hangs Tn the south corridor of the capitol, known Westward ho," emblematicafoft the hardships attendant upon the pioneer, and suggested by Bishop Barkley's ou- otation, Westward the course of the empire takes its way" is also proposed.
 A representation of the picture. "De Soto's Discovery of the Mississippi River" in the rotunda of the capitol at Washington, is sugges ted for use on one of the stamps.
 The stamps will be different in color from the regular series. In shape they will resemble the Columbian stamp issued in commemoration of the Worlds Fair.

More Sheep Stealing.
Albuquerque Citizen


 For sometime Nathan Earth, the Zuni mountain sheep raiser. whose home is in thIs city, has received notice that his fiocks were being somewhat dimin- ished by sheep stealing, and of course ',, s5a5s ss,~-s} ''leel-outs'' 70 invest igate- 4 few days aso 4s disco .s-51' 2, tt the local stock yards 100 sheep. which belonged to him, and they were at once taken IA charge by Ir Earth. This morning he ascertaine1 that the sheep had been purchased by H. Neuman, q sheep buyer out west, and that they were driven to Gallup, loaded on to cars, and shipped to this city. MT Earth has received ID late information from his ranch foreman. but is almost certain that about coo sheep have already been stolen from his hocks.
 M. T. Moriarity, the Chilli sheep raiser, came in from the mountains ses- terday, and on being accosted for news, stated that the sheepmen of his section of Bernallllo county are considerably annoyed by sheep thieves, who have SC parated and run of several hundred sheep belonging to different raisers.

The Maverick Brands.
Range N,NS.l

thdISS
 One important end which will be sub- served by the new brand book IS the means which 1t will afford of detecting maverick brands. According to the new stock law, only recorded brands will be regarded as prima facla evidence of ownership. This provision was framed, not for the purpose of contiscatins the cattle of honest citlzens, but with a view to heading off the stock thieves. Until the brand book is completed, 1t would be an excellent plan for district attorneys and others interested in the prosecution ofstock thieves to ascertain from the Live Stock Sanitary Board whether the brand used by the supposed thieves is on record. It is said that there arein nse large numbers ofbrands which are no: recorded. Both for their own protection and to afford a sure means of distinguishing the rustlers, all honest cattlemen should see that their brands are duly recorded.

A New Form of Personalities.

The old style portraylng famous peo- pie through sketch" or ':biography" Is to be modernized Tn The Ladies' Home Journal during 1898. Five of the most prominent Americans have been chosen for the departure: President Nc Kinley, Mrs. Clevland, Mark Twain. Joseph Jefferson, and Thomas A Edi.- son. Each will have a special article. which will consist of about fifteen or twenty fresh, unpublished stories and anecdotes strung together, each anec- dote showing some characteristic trait or presenting a different side of the subject. The idea is to show famous personalities through their own doings and sayings, and to make these articles accurate the relatives and closest per sonal friends of the subjects have as- sisted and given to the Journal the best stories and anecdotes within their own knowledge. Each article will thus rep resent the closest view of the one sketched. No authorship will be at- tached to any of the articles.

 Adiutant General Lewis submitted hls report to Governor McCord Monday afternoon on the charges brought against Ralph Cameron, sheriff of Co conino county, by the agent of the Navajo Indians. An outline of the ac- cusation made has already been pre- sented in these columns.
 General Lewis's report concludes by saying:
 "Having discovered no facts or evi- dence that would warrant me in doing otherwise. I therefore recommend that no proceedings be taken against the of- fcers of Coconlno county, they having acted within the letter and spirit of the law and no facts appear that any wrong was committed"

Improved Sires.
Wool Record 1

Western sheep ranges, when restock- ed with sheep will have hocks higher in quality than ever before. Sheep raisers are as enterprising in seeking the best siTes as are the cattlemen of Texas. and that IS saying good deal. The purchase of good rams for the Texas sheep ranges during the past season was approximately large, and as the owners are men who will take no step backwards, there is an assurance that the mutton and wool industries are on line of steadily increasing values. The men who are now ''in sheep" are on the road to fortune.
