LEES RECALL ASKED.
PRESIDENT M'KlNLEY REFUSES TO
ACCEDE TO THE REQUEST.

Double Demand by the Spanish Govern
ment-Return ofthe Consul General from
Havana and that Supplies for Cubans be
Not Sent by Our Warships.
Washington, March IA new and sin
ister twist has been given to the already
strained relations between the United States
and Spain by the announcement by cable
from Madrid that the Sagasta Government
had requested the recall of the American
Consul-General at Havana, and had sug-
yested that no United States warshps
should be employed to carry provisions to
Cubans for the relief of the suffering re
concentrates.
Nleagre details of this unexpected double
demand on Spain's part have been obtain
able here. But the facts seem clear that
The Spanish Government has taken definite
steps to rid itself of General Lees presence
IN Havana, and has declared an unwilling
ness to allow supplies to reach the starving
reconcentrados, unless they are shipped
from the United States through the usual
channels of maritime commerce.
So far the Administration has admitted
only by implication that a demand has
actually been received for Consul General
Lees recall and for the abandonment of
all schemes of relief through the agency of
American warships. But the arrival here
Of a two-fold request of this sort from
Madrid is presupposed in the formal state
ment issued by the State Department that
it has not recalled and will not recall Cen
sral Lee from his present post, and that
The Government cruisers assigned to carry
provisions to sufferers in Cuba will start
upon their mission of philanthropy and
mercy this week. No reasons have APP
parently been divulged by the Spanish
Government for its desire to force the re-
turn of General Lee to the United States.

THE COMING WOMAN

Who goes to the club while her hus-
band tends the baby, as well as the good
old-fashioned woman who looks after her
home, will both at times get run down
in health. They will be troubled with
loss of appetite, headaches. sleeplessness,
faintng or dizzy spells. The most won
derful remedy for these women is Electric
Bitters. Thousands of sufferers from
lame back and weak kidneys rise up and
call it blessed. 1t is the medicine for the
women. Female complaints and ner-
vous troubles of all kinds are soon re-
lieved by the use of Electric Bitters.
Delicate women should keep this remedy

Washington. January 1.-THE senate COM
mittee on health and quarantine is to meet
on Monday to consider the National quaran-
tine bills, and other public health matters
now pending before the committee. Senator
Walthall has had referred to the commit
tee his resolution directing the committee
to investigate and report whether 1t be adj
yisable to remove the Ship island quaran-
tire station to more remote locality. sem
ator Waithall said the matter was one OF
extreme importance to the people OF the
gulf coast. IT, as had been alleged. the
quarantine station was dangerous to the
health and safety OF the people, It should
be removed at once, and II not that fact
should be ascertained and made public. SO
that anxiety ON the subject would be al
layed.
Senator Waithall also had referred to the
committee various documents bearing on
the subject, such as copy OF the act of
1858. under which the quarantine station
was removed from Ship island, copies Of re-
ports and iytters relating to the removal,
copy of Dr. Haralson's report OF October,
1886 report OF the Mississippi State board
OF health, resolutions OF the board OF SUI
peryisors of Jackson county and the alder
men OF Biloxi, besides various letters and
editorials treating OF the quarantine.

ator from Colorado (Teller) was doing much
to prevent the successful frultion OF the

Colorado senator was making moi orlysun-
fair, but unwise. in view Of his t'rclIcr'sl
heretofore expressed desire TO bring about
