Although the officials here are non

that the request for Gen. Lees recall
was made at least a day or two ago
and that the Spanish Government. af-
ter receiving the reply Of the State De

Gen. Lees recall or upon its contention
that the relief supplies should not be
sent to Cuba in naval vessels.
Beyond the foregoing, those who
had participated in the conference at
the White House would not discuss
the subject and it was stated positively
that the authorized statement com.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(Special)-
The ground on which Gen. Lees re-
call was asked are not disclosed. II is
known however, that the Spanish
Government has chaffed for some time
over Gen. Lees presence in Havana,
although this had never taken the form
of definite protest prior to the pres
ent time. 1t began to assume a more
serious aspect shortly after the arrival
Of the Maine at Havana At that time
Gen. Lee escorted Capt. Sigsbee on his
round of official calls. These were
made with due Formally, but the
Spanish officials took ofFense when the
calls were stricted to Gen. Blanco, Ad-
miral Manterola and the representa-
tives Of the military arm OF SPANS
service and did not include Premier
Galvez and his associates of the auton-
omous cabinet who represent the new
civil regime which Spain is seeking to
enforce The matter came to the at
tention Of Senior Dupuy De LONE, then
Spanish Minister at Washington, and
although there were no protests, the
situation doubtless reached the State
Department, as suitable amends were
made by Capt Sigsbee's calling on DR..
Congosto, the Civil Secretary General,
Premier Galyez and his associates.
