1t has been Iumored for several days
that the recall Of our minister to Madrid.

ccnsuls In Ill Spanish ports was immi-
neut.
III It is. indeed, true that the ir recall is
actually decided upon and is now mat
ter only OF hours, ths information is sig
niflcant, although even such step does
not actually assure the war that no many
Americans would like to SEQ quickly be-
gun and quickly ended.
The breaking of OF diplomatic negoti-
ations and of all relationship by which
two nations cease to be "on speaking
terms" marks the end Of further open
diplomacy, but not necessarily the begin
ming Of active hostiiities.
Ore thing. however, is certain, and
that Is, the warning that such action
would give should not be delayed so long
that the lives OF American citizens should
be placed in jeopardy at the hands Of a
Spanish mob. We refer. OF course. es-
pecially to a Havana mob and specifically
to the life of Consul General Lee, ~
Without warship in Havana harbcr
and In the state of feeling that exists in
the Cuban capital, there is little question
that the precipitation OF hostiiities would
place General Lee in serious danger.
That stalwart American has stood at
his post with splendid courage, deaf
alike to threats OF vengeance from fanat-
jos and appeals from prudent friends to
take unusual precautions for his Ter-
sonal protection. He stands on foreign
soil amid the enemies of his country, but
under tho Old Flag, and there should be
no question that he Is as safe there as If
he were still in his Virginia nome
A fine fellow is Lee. just now he is a
popular IDOL perhaps nesrer to the heart
of his fellow countrymen, with that Pc
culiar affection which all men have for a
nsrvy fellow In the hour of danger and
perilous duty, than any other American
that could be named. Should any action
or nsalsot Of action result Ia harm to a
hair OF his head, the American people
would rise up rs one man and the coun-
try would be swept by a spirit of ven-
ssanos that would surpass even that which
followed the report OF the blowing up of
our battleship. The dust of diplomacy
would be blown away, the talking would
be summarily cut short, ordinary con-
siderations OF policy would DO over
whelmed as by a tidal wave, and there
would bc trouble for us here in the
United States to take care OF as well az
