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.

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. ,

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

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. .

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

Washisoton, March 6. 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

newspaper bas insinuated tbat General Lee
