Consul-General Lee loft Havana
Baturday, after seeing that every Am
erican was safoly off the island. The
affairs of the United States govern
ment have been turned over to the
British consul. . As soon as Les readi
ed Key West, he went north via Tam
ps, in the belief that his presence was
wanted in Washington to give Infor
mation about the probabilities in Cuba
during the next fortnight He did not
receive instructions until lie reached
Key West. ' Vlce-Cousul fjpringer and
Consul Barker of Sagas are also In
structed to report at. headquarters.
This was construed as an indication of
the opinion in official quarters that an
aarly reoeuing of the American eon
aviates at Cuba is not probable.
riTZ-HUOH LXX,
Goueral Lee may be able to add
knowledce to what is already
known regarding the plot by which the
Maine was blown up, though not, per
haps, to the extent of fixing tne con
nlronv officially on the Spanish gov
ernment Ferhaps Genarsl Lee would
nut rl justified in making stronger
assertions officially than did the board
about the identity of the conspirators,
yet he uncovored enough to satisfy
himself that a single fanatlo could not
have fixed the mine which blew up the
Mains in Havana harbor, or have
flrort it.
On one uoint his information is def
inite General Lee bellevos the lottor
of January last, attributed to General
Weyler, in which tne writer spea&a
boastfully of having propared Havana
harbor so that Yankee ships could be
destroyed, Is genuine. . Whether he
has seen the original is not known, but
his opinion Is that such a letter was
written by Weyler is cloar.
Sirlce tho Maine disaster is oxpeoted
to .be a featuro Of the goueral Cuban
caso instead of a more incident, the
Consul-General's proience in Washing
ton may be useful in supplementing
with lutor dotails tho Information gath
ered by tho court of inquiry.
Tho Spanish flotilla sent out from
Cadis, Spain, for Cuba, and compolled
