I senator uaie ana ower leaaing ipinia in O'ingreaa. Aa for General I-ee'i intereata, the newaof Ilia aatialactory ending of tbe Incident through the withdrawal of the fuggcation by Spain, waa expected aa soon aa it wai notrd that a loophole bad been left opeu through the failure to make complaint in anything like ofllcial ihape. Some fear la ezpreaaed that tbe conaal-general a ill not find Ida poat very congenial, now that be knows that be ia an unwelcome guent in Havana, but the ad miniai ration ia relying upon bia devotion to the welfare of the Americana in Cuba and American Intereata generally to aubmit bia own peraonal wiahea to reatraiut, and remain at bia poat. Lata In the afternoon Senor du Boec, tbe Spanlab charge d'allnirea, receivtd a cable, gram from Madrid from Senor Oullon, aay ing: "You can diaavow tbe rumor that any ofllcial application haa been made for the recall ol General Lee." Tlila confirmed Mr. du Bote's statement that a misapprelienalon bad occurred, ami that some Intimation concerning General Lee had been construed Into a request or demand for bia recall, which Mr. du Bote says with poaiuveneas was never intended. Aa there lias been no explanation ao far of the purpose which promoted the intro duction of Cannon's resolution, It may be said that money Is wanted primarily as an emergency fund. It la said by officials who have disposition of this treasure, that it by no mesne follows tbat . because . congress places such a sum of money ia control ol the president that he will feel bound to spend all of it. Those wbo look for a wholesale purchase of warships from the bargain counters of European builders are likely to be disap pointed. Tbe navy department at present Ii inclined to make but one purchase ol tbia kind at drat, at least, in the shape of a sub stantial Ironclad. It does desire to get pos. semion of several ol the larger class ol torpe do-destroyers, such is the Sekul, of the K'issian navy, vessels of !300 tons, able to keep the sea in bad weather, a weak point with our own boats, and capable ol enor mous speed' audi as 32 knots. But such craft are not for sale at all times. They are built to order generally, and could not procured in this manner in less than six months from the date of contract, even in Europe, unless special prices were paid. construction of the canal ii In progress of , organization by E. P. Craruln, of this city, who Is now in New York negotiating the contracts. T. K. Cooley, who bas been as sociated with Mr. Cratnin In the enterprise, Is alto in New York, gathering material lor lbs specifications, which will be within the next 10 days presented to contractors for bids on tbs different sections of the work. The new syndicate lor the conatruction of tbe Nicaragua canal will soon know wltbln a few million dollars just bow much it ia going to coat, finished and ready for the passage of the first ship. A rough estimate from tba data at hand on the return of Mr. Cremln and Mr. Cooler from their trip over tbe canal a few weeks ago. placed the cost within $75,000,000. Mr. Cooley was of the I opinion that as further data waa collected : regarding the nature of the excavation over 1 a part of the route, the coat might be cut down to F.0rj0.000. This is far inside the estimates which have been presented to congress In the appeals of the Maritime Company for government aid. Another Hrde. Niw York, March 5,.

Objectionable Law Declared Invalid. Washington, March 7. Justice Harlan today delivered an opinion in the Nebraska maximum freight rate case. He held the Nebraska law to be contrary to the 14th amendment in that it authorized the taking of property without due process by law and was therefore invalid. Hence tbe railroad won. Jusitce Harlan's opinion affirmed tbe opinion of the circuit court of appeals of the eighth circuit, which was against the maximum freight rates law and favorable to tbe railroads. This case was intituled to test the validty of the law passed by the Nebraska legisla ture In 1X93, prescribing tbe maximum rates for transportation of frefghts by railroads within the state. The decision sustains the contention of the railroad companies aud holds against the validity of the law. The opinion was based largely upon the charge of unreasonableness. Justice Brewer made a computation showing that the reduction eflected In the freight rates amounted on an average to 2!iX per cent, which he held was too great a change. The case has been twice argued in tbe supreme court, Hon. W. J. Bryan appear ing as one of the counsel for the stale at the last hearing. , Stole Ills Rucka But Mot Ills Sand. 8kattlb, Maroh 5. An extraordinary hold-up occured here this atternoon on one ol the principal streets. Theodore Ford ham stopped John Fletcher and J. C. Williams, and held them at the point of a pistol until policemen arrived and took them into custody. Ford ham claims that the two men buncoed blm out of about $200 the other day. He says that a third man Is implicated, and that he will get him, too. The unusual affair created quite a sensation. II EAlKtUAItTKRS GeN'l BCBNSIDK PntT, No. 28 Oakes, K. D. Jsnuary 19, 18!W. At the regular meeting of tbe General Burnslde Post, No. 28, G. A. R. Depart ment of North Dakota, the lUtb day of Jan uary ISM, the following resolutions were introduced by Comrade E. R.Kennedy of Luddeii. Resolved: First, tbat we ask as a patri O'ic measure tbat tbe government of the United States invite all soldiers of the War of tbe Rebellion, botb Cnion and Confeder ate, to Washington, as guests of tbe Union for one week, beginning the first of July 1900. Second, tbat on the fourth Independence Day of tbat year, the President, his Cabinet, and the surviving generals of both armies, review the Grand old Armies, as they march down Pennsylvania avenue, each army dressed as near as convenient, in their former colored nnifornis, but all un der "Old Glory" the Bag of our nnion. Third, that we nrge all G. A. R. Posts and all patriotic citixens to help carry this into effect. Fourth, that Congress be petitioned and urged by patriotic influences, to appropri ate the money necessary to defray all ex penses. Tbe motion being seconded by Comrade J. B. Root was unanimously adopted and a committee was appointed to procure the resolutions printed aud circulated. H. V. Hicxs, E. G. Baldwin. Adjutant Post Commander. Madrid, March 6. HenorGullon, Spanish minister of foreign affairs, recently intima ted to United State Minister Woodford that the Spanish government desired tbe recall of Consul-General Lee, and that the) American warships which have been desia nated to carry supplies to the relief of tha sufferers in Cuba should be replaced by mer chant vessels, in order to deprive the sssfst ancesentto the reconcentrados of an oft). v cial character. Minister Woodford cabled the request to Waahinirton, which replied refusing to re call General Lee In the present circum stances or to countermand the orders for the dispatch of the war vessels, making tbe representation that the war vessels, are not fighting ships. .

The Tribune says: A syndicate to lake the concessions granted the Maritime Company by the re publics of Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the Responsibility of Ameriran Cltlaenshlp. Wisest and best of all the marks of a true patriot is the possession aud the practice of an intelligent interest in the public affairs of his country. Hopeless in the lace of tbe overwhelming majorities of selfish and self- seeking masses of men, blindly following a leader to whom they hand over the exei- cise of wbat is supposed to be their will as expressed by votes, too many men of in fluence and character have withdrawn themselves from all concern in the admin istration of government. And it is the atti tude of cowardice and immorality. Con spicuous instances of failure in the attempt to bring about a better condition of political management are no doubt most discoursi ng; but ultimate and not immediate sm cess is the wise expectation of thoughtful men. And, meanwhile, no forlorn hope was ever led by the kind of man wbo loses heart in the face or in the fear of failure. And more than that, personal duty is not measured by this rule. A man owes to his country even his life, if the sacrifice is de manded; and he owes the service of bis time, his intelligence, his interest, his par ticipation in high publio affairs "Patriot ism: Its Defects, Its Dangers and Its Duties," the Rignt Rev."

The 8panish sitnation developed two new phases today, when It became known that tbe Spanish, government had formally requested tbe recall of Consul-General Lee at Havana, with which request the United States bad courteously but brnily refused to comply; also tbst the Spanish government bad sug gested the impropriety of sending relief supplies to tbe Cuban reconcentrados en. tbe cruiaer Montgomery and gunboat Nash ville, to which suggestion tbe United States) had given a like answer in the negative. , The first Intimation of these steps cam in a brief and explicit cablegram from Madrid. Prior to its receipt, however, tbe authorities here had been fully conversant with tbe facts, although no Intimation had been allowed to get to the public on either subject. The disclosures from Madrid left no fur ther ground for reticence in Washington, and after a conference at the White House between the president. Assistant Secretary Day, of tbe state department, and Secretary Long, or the navy department, tbe following authorized statement waa banded to the Associated Press by Judge Day, comprising everything tbat was to be said by the administration on tbe subject: "Tbe President will not consider the re call of General Lee. He bas borne himself throughout this crisis with judgment, fidel ity and courage, to the President's entire satisfaction. "As to the supplies for tbs relieroflhe Cuban people, all arrangements have been made to carry a oonsignnment from ' Key West by one of the naval vessels, which ever may be best adapted for tbe purpose, to Matanzas and Sagtia." The ground on which General Lee's re call was asked was not officially disclosed. It is known however, that the Spanish gov ernment has chafed lor some time over General Lee's presence in Havana, although this bas never taken the form of a definite protest prior to tbe present lime. It began to assume a more serious aspect shortly after tbe arrival of the Maine at Havana. At that time, General Lee escorted Captain Sigsbee en his round of official calls. These were made with due formality, but tbe Spanish officials took offense wben the calls were restricted to General Blanco, Ad miral Manterola and the representatives of the military arm of Spain's service, 'and did not Include Premier Galves and bis as sociates of tbe autonomist cabinet, who rep resent the new civil regime which Soain is seeking to enforce. Tbe matter came to the attention of Senor de Lome, tbe Span ish minister at Washington, and although there was no protest, the situation doubt less reached the state department, as suita ble amends were made by Captain Sigsbee calling on Dr. Congosto, the civil secretary general of Cuba, Premier Galvez and hia associates. There are circumstances which clearly disclose the grounds for the recall, although it is not known that Spain has made any exact specification of complaint. Since tbe Maine disaster, a report bas been circulated that General Lee was of the personal opin. ion that the explosion waa due to external cause. No official report of this character was ever sent to Washington so far as known, but the mere circulation ol the re port in Madrid, attributing such views to General Lee, has been the source of much feeling in Spanish official circles. Tbe press dispatches from Madrid also disclose that General Lee is held account able at tbe Spanish capital for the project, for the purchase of Cuba by the United States from Spain, as well as for a general sentiment of sympathy toward tbe insur gents. The suggestion of the Imparcial, the government organ, that the next ses sion of the cortes will consider the case of General Lee shows the strong Influences which induced the Sagasta administration to ask his recall. In this connection, the fact is noted tbat Senor Dupuy de Lome is due in Spain at this time. His enforced retirement on a demand by tbe United 8tates is felt to have awakened a counter-sentiment in Madrid which finds expression against Consul-General Lee. There is little doubt, also that such advice as Senor de Lome would give to the government or to the press and publio in Madrid would not be conducive toward tbe retention of General Lee. Madrid, March 6. For several days the newspapers have been violently attacking Consul-General Fitzhugh Lee. The Im parcial, after remarking that an American newspaper bas insinuated tbat General Lee (Continued on Page Six )
