LEES FLIGHT"
Havana Paper Thus Characterizes Depart
ure of American Consul General.

Havana, April 1.-THE Ward line
steamer Senaca arrived here last night
and on her departure will carry number
of passengers. Senior Juan Ramirez, the
former chief who fought in the ten years
war, has returned here from Mauzanillo.
Senior Chaves has also arrived here
from that port The latter will return
there.
La Lucia today publishes an article.
headed "Mr. Lees flight" which
furnishes another example of how badly
informed Spanish newspapers can he. The
paper says the manner in which Gen.
Lee left Havana, "does not become the
representative of civilized nation"
adding, ''After exciting public opinion
he left in a great hurry with his staff.
That his leaving was flight Is demon
strated by the fact of Captain General
Blanco giving an exequatur to the Eng
lish consular to represent President
McKinley's government on this island.
Therefore the United States did not1with-
draw Ter consul from Cuba nor her re-
preventative from the capital Of Spain.
At the last moment Gen. Lee was as
frightened as il he had not been an army
man. II Gen Lees correspondence is
revised he will be found guilty OF alarm
ing his government and responsible Tor
the Maine affair, for having asked her to
be sent hero to protect United States
citizens. He WAS the chief Of the jingoes
here while looking out for the inters sts
of his country"
Considerable interest was felt in politi-
cal and military circles in the suspension
of hostilities between the Spaniards
ana Cubans, it being known that d de-
cree to that effect was to be issued dur
ing the day The military men and 9TH
ers were anxious to know the conditions
of the so-ceIled armistice and the time
of its expiration. At the clubs and in
tho cafes. the matter was much discussed
from various standpoints. The Spaniards
alleged that they were not IN sympathy
With the decree, but when it appeared,
il caused q flrner tono to prevail on the
bourse.
At the palace today only few unim-
uortant skirmishes in the provinces of
Pinar del Rio and Havana are announced
as having taken place.

own words Us he told it to an Associated
Press correspondent on board the Anna.
zonas tonight:
our voyage across the Atlantic was
very rough one. You may think we
simply followed the other ship in q
MONKEY ana parrot fashion. but we had
desperate Hight with the boisterous seas.
eor sf1 Gays the Amazonas had to stem tel,
one OF the heaviest seas ever saw. The
gales eieW with hurricane force and the
vessei being too lightly laden pitched ana
folied considerably. The first parS OF the
voyage was m AIDE with fine weather pat
on March srd, the gales sprang up anu
tney continued with varying force until
couple OF days ago. The storm was at its
greatest violencs Tuesday night Seas
mountain hight swept over the Anna
zonas's deck, threatening TO enguf her
f1tch darkness reigned, and the gaze
nurled itself against the cruiser win the
force OF hurricane. Every man On the
ship was alert, but in the inky darkness
we lost sight of our convoy. the san
FRANCISCO and we had to weather IL ouo
alone. All l could do was TO keep 5ne
Amazonas' head to the sea and for tWe!ve
hours we scarcely did more than hold our
Roadway. Tt was terrible night and
right glad was every soul on board wnen
dayDreak came. A few hours later we
sighted the San Francisco again ana from
thaG time on the weather was Hiore
moderate. During the storm Iuesaay
night a heavy sea struck the ship, pitched
over the deck with the force Of tornado,
smashing one of the starboard boats and
slightly disarranging the sterling gear.
The Amazonas behaved splendidly con
sidering the difficulties under which she
labored, and I have no doubt she VIII
give good account of herself in time of
action.
GAS to the war I can only say that
every officer on the ship will be ready to
do his duty when the time comes.
The San Francisco and Amazonas are
under orderssto sail for New York as soon
as they can get supply Of coal on board.
They will go to sea early in the morning.

SENATORS DON'T LIKE
Msjority Are Not Satisfied With Presi-
dents Me ssage,

Washington, April 1.-THE Presidents
message did not after the tlrst reading,
receive the endorsement Of majority
of the senators and many excused them
selves FROM speaking about 1t until they
could have time for careful perusal.
In a general way the objections We're
based on the ground that it did not go far
enough in recognizing the rights of the
Cubans. The senators who have been
especially noted for their conservative
views were pleased, but they were the
exception to the rule, and many OF those
senators who had III the past few days
shown q disposition TO slacken their
opinion to "a conservative source, appeared
to be disposed to return TO their original
positions A largo number of the Demo
cratic senators refused to express them
selves at all, as did several hepubllcans,
On the ground that. as they could not
speak in complimentary terms, they
would say nothing at all One of the
most significant utterances on the sub
ject OF the message was that OF Senator
Foraker, Republican, from the Presi-
dents own state, and q member OF the
committee on foreign relations. He said:
81 have no patience With the message
and you can say so.
He refused to go into details.
Senator Mills, Democrat, of the same
committee said:
"Without referring to the message
specifically, you can say I am for the in
dependence Of Cuba and for war Oh ac-
count of the Maine
Senator Cullom, Republican, also of
the same committee, commended the
document. he said: ''It is strong
paper, "a well-prepared and careful review.
The Senate may go farter than the Pres1-
dent recommends, butsit will have strong
influence in shaping the course of events.
Senator Hawley, chairman of the COM
mittee on military affairs, also pronounced
ii an able paper and said that no thousn1
it would meet with general approval
Said Senator Elkins. conservative re
publican: 1T states the case adnlfaoiy
and it will be sustained BY the people
and by Congress. :.
Senate Allen, chairman OF the commit
tee on appropriations would only say:
''It Is q very good message.
Senator Hale, conservative Republican,,
and chairman of naval affairs commit
fee went further IN his commentator,
HThe message is admirable in all re-
snects and especially in that 1t points out
the way whereby Cuba can get a good
aoyerpment and tie free without bringing
US into awkward international compli
cations.
Senator White, Democrat of California,
who Opposes any interference in the
Cuban question, would only say that

THE BALTlc-BLAcK SEA CANAL.
A Vast Engineering Scheme Of the Young
Gear.

(Russian Letter In New York Observer.
The Siberian railroad is not the only
vast project which Russia has on hand
for the development of her resources.
The young Gear is ambitious, and has
set his hand to work which will do
much to revolutienize the trade of the
western half OF his dominions. I allude
to the project for uniting the waters of
the Baltic with those of the Black Sea
by means of canal. A glance at the
map Of western Russia will show that
the head waters Of the Dwina flowing in
to the Baltic, and those Of the Dnieper
flowing into the Euxine, approach within
measurable distance Of each other. It
is proposed to unite them, and the con-
figuration of the land rendels this quite
possible.
The Baltic end of the canal will be at
Riga, and it's course will be up this river
as far as the city of DunaDurg. From
Dunaburg artificial excavations will be
made for 1875 miles as far as Lepel on the
Berosina, and as Beresina Is on the
DHlcp6I3 UAcIc ID OAoS q CS1iAPASUO NSUSA
way to Kherson on the Black Sea. The
entire distance from Riag to Kherson
will be- about 1000 miles. The beds of the
DWina. Beresina and Dnisper will be
deepensd SO that the surface breadth Of
the canal will be 2l6 10 feet and It's bot
tom breadth 1l6 1-2. The depth Of water
in average seasons will be % feet, SO that
ships of heavy draught will find no
difficulty in steaming along the whole
length OF the canal. | hear that all the
preliminary surveys have been finished,
and that the work can be commenced IN
the spring of this year.
The Russian engineers compute that
the entire COST of the undertaking will
not exceed e25, 00O, 900, and that the time
required for It's completion will be under
10 years. Both from the commercial and
strategic point of view, thu Baltic Black
Sec canal will be OF the first Importance
Seventeen towns and cities OF considers

Men of Marblehead Enthusiastic Over
Presidents Message.
Kew West, Fla April 1.-THE cruiser
Marblehead has been coaling at the gov
eminent dock today and the monitor
Amphitrite and the gunboat Helena were
lying only cables length away from her
when the news of the presentation of the
Presidents message to Congress and OF
its purport was received hero An I'M
uaralieIed scene followed. The men OF the
Marhlehead, who were the first to hear 1t,
set up ia chorus OF cheering, shook each
others hands and danced about On deck.
The word was passed to the other two
ships and an equally noisy demonstration
followed on board each.
General Blanco's proclamation or a
cessation of hostilities is regarded as
having little or no bearing on the sltua-
ton and all expect that the next bulletin
from the North win bring declaration
OF war. The outlaying fleet has made
almost the last preparations for active
hostiIlti, g. The fiagstaffs on the battle
ships Indiana and Iowa have been taken
down and ensigns are now flying from
their smokestacks. This Ia an Unusual
nrecaution. The wood work on the
cruiser New York is being torn out.
Captain Sampson went on board the Iowa
TODAY and made an unofficial inspection.
The Vigilanca's orders have boon
countermanded and she will sail for Ha-
vana tonight.
The gunboat wilmington arrive this
afternoon from Jacksonville.
1t Is reported that Captain Sampson
has said that he has no knowledge of any
arrangements TO land troops In Cuba,
that this could not be done by naval ves-
sells and that if done Mt all, it must be
done by transports. The gunboat Nash
