Captain Lee of England Who
 Sailed For Home To-Day.

Says American People are Fortunate
 to Have Such a Man Take McKin-
 ley's Place England, Lee Says,
 Looks for and Will Expect Great
 Things from Him, Notwithstanding
 Reports to the Contrary.
 New York, Sept 21.- Captain Arthur Lee, formerly military attache of tue Brltlsh embassy at Washington, sails to-day for England, after brief visit to this country. Captain Lee repre- sented the English army here during the Spanish-American war and was on the island of Cuba when President Roosevelt was there as q colonel of volunteers. Captain Lee is quoted as follows:
 Il have met President Mckinley and l admired him. His death is q great national loss. But I think the Ameri- can people are particularly fortunate Ill having such man as Roosevelt to take up the burden of office where Mckinley left off.
 T became acquainted with the new president i'll Cuba, and practically ate and slept with him throughout a large part or the campaign. We became in innate friends, and for my part I think that the people of this country have nothing to fear but great things to ex- pect from his administration. I have studied the man at close range, and ii IS almost annoying to me to hear lhe expression made that he is of the hot headed type. I know him to be con seryatiye in all his actions, and his statements that he will carry out the policy of his predecessor will be be lieyed in England, notwithstanding the fact that much has been sent there as information which is calculated to ere. ate uneasiness respecting his future ac- tionS as president

 A report by Admiral Schley to the effect that a picket line had been es- tablished was read. but the witness declined to change his statements. He was asked if the Brooklyn had not on May 24 signalled the Texas to go along side the collier and coal. He did hot recollect anything of the kind. He was asked regarding the several sig- nais that passed between the two ships and his answers were invariably the same as before. '.He could not recol- lect." He was questioned closely con- cerning the rate of speed of the fleet between CienfuegOs and Santiago on May 25.
