THE SC1UNTOX TKIBUNE-MONDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 9, 180G. : k 7i . at, M SPAIN'S INJUSTICE TO OUR CITIZENS The True Reason of General Lee's Re turn From Cuba. PRESIDENT WANTED INFORMATION It is Believed iu Washington That Mr. t'lcvelaud Intend to Devote a Larue Purt of Hi Message to the Island llebelliou. Washington, Nov. 8. The fact has cumu to light IhatConsul-Cleneral Lee is ht're in obedience to a. sumninim from tha btate department. He did not tome m a iniesiim f self-c-onvenleiu'e. This piece of information. Is of much Inter est. It was announced tills week at the White Huuse that President Clevelund had begun work on his mea Huge to cuiiKieSH. General Lee's coin ing Just now must, therefore, be to ac quaint the president with tha true sit uation in Cuba. The general has never Kubuiltled a report to the slate depart ment on Oubun affairs, except on min or and routine matters. It is learned that he did not, as has been announced, leave a written report at the state department yesterday when he called on Secretary Olney. The Intelligence conveyed to the secre tary and later to the president was communicated verbally again today. The consul-general was at the White House In conference with the presi dent. He was also a visitor at the navy department, being in consulta tion with Secretary Herbert for more than an hour. This latter call has oc casioned no little speculation, as the naval branch of the government is not mixed up in Cuban affairs. With stud ied resolution Secretary Herbert has endeavored not to have the navy In volved one way or the other in refer ence to Cuba. As is well known, the home squadron has not been south of Hampton Roads for over a year. That General Lee should reach Wash ington at the time when the president is engaged in writing out the first pages of his annual report which, according to custom, will refer to the country's foreign relations is significant. In the Judgment of well-informed persons, the consul-general Is hure to Inform the president that the revolution In Cuba is making no headway, that there is no promise of an early ending of the strug gle, and that as long as hostilities con tinue American trade with the island will be seriously Injured. INJUSTICE TO AMERICANS. A private letter received here today from Havana says that there has re cently been exasperating Interference there with American commercial inter ests, and that Spanish officials have been accused of injustice and pecun iary Irregularities in the cases of Amer ican vessels. This subject, It Is said, is of such importance as to demand the attention of the state department. The letter says that General Lee Is familiar with the facts, and has promised to lay them before Secretary Olney . This must be another and a new topic which the consul-general will discuss with the nuthoritiea. Of course, these matters are only a few of those which make this government deeply Interested In what Is going on in Cuba. It can be said that the president pur poses Jo discuss Cuban affairs some what exhaustively in his message to congress. The resolution of the senate and house relating to the recognition of the belligerents has never been referred to by the president. Since Its adoption the resolution has teen lu a pigeonhole at the state department. The subject will, Indeed, be the most important fea ture of the message, not excepting the relations of the country with Turkey. It would be the meres) speculation to say Just what the president will write, but the prediction seems a cafe one from what can be learned that he will recite some Interesting facts, and that his statements will be based upon the reports which General Lee has made on Ills twq visits to the White House yes terday and today. A high official expressed the opinion this afternoon that the President will Hpeak rather emphatically on the Cuban situation in so far as the rebellion on the island affects American interests, particularly those of a commercial na ture. The official said that the prece dent established by General Omit In this relation would be a guide ti Mr. Cleveland. He also said that the Presi dent had never favored the Idea of recognizing the belligerents, as he doubted both the right and tlu advisa bility of thla country thus icu-rferlng with the domestic affairs of a friendly Power. He believed that Mr. Cleveland would lay the facts before congress and say, la his message, that lie now left the settlement of the question to the wider discretion of that body. This was the course pursued in the case of Hawaii, after the failure of the attempt to restore the ex-Queen to the throne. The official was asked what he thought Congress would do, what action it would take. If the President's message showed that the situation In Cuba was as bad for American interests as has been reported. He replied: "Congress will give directions to the President which will be quite positive in terms. Having submited the case to Congress for a decision, the Presi dent will carry out the new directions." HOW THE WAR 13 BEING FOUGHT. Today General Lee gave out some interesting Information relative to the strength of the Spanish army In Cuba, and that of the insurgents. The army now under General Weyler has been as sumed to overshadow that of the struggling men under Maceo, but that it consisted of such overwhelming numbers was not Imagined. General Lee shows that at present the total forces under the insurgents do not ex ceed 45,000 men. Opposed to them are 210,000 finely armed, will-drilled, regu lar soldiers of the Spanish army. These men are not actively In the field engaged in chasing and fighting Insur gent, bonds, but comfortably quartered in the towns and villages of the Island. General Lee shows that possibly not 5,000 men of the Spanish army are to day beyond sight of the towns, and this has been the case since the war be. gau two years ago. The Insurgents, on the other band, are always to tha front. rw I WM Mil II 1 energetic and active, and ready to meet the foe. The commander of this great body of Spain's troops sits placidly in his quarters at Havana and spends his time playing with his children and di recting the movements of his troops by telegraph and heliograph. When this method of carrying on an agressive campaign is considered by military men. it is no wonder to them that the war in Cuba has been pro longed so far. or that its end, without intervention by the United States, can not be seen. POSTAL STATISTICS. Report of First Assistant Postmaster Frank II. Jones. Washington, Nov. 8.-First Assistant Postmaster-General Frank H. Jones, in his annual report for the fiscal year ending June SO. 1896. says that there has auring that time been a saving of 83, 288.9S5 and also shows an improvement in the service of delivering the volume of mall matter. The number of presi dential postofflees is S.651. the salaries of the postmasters being $6,205,900 and the total gross receipts from these offices were $45,282,364. Mr. Jones recommends that $17,000,000 be appropriated to compensate post masters for the next fiscal year. He only asks $11,000,000 for clerk hire, a considerable decrease in proportion to the increase of clerks to be employed. Free delivery service has been estab lished at twenty-four cities during the year and there are now but sixty-three entitled to It, but on account of the ex pense, the remainder could not, be bene fitted. Experimental free delivery In towns and villages has shown a reduc tion In gross receipts in a majority of offices. An estimated expenditure of $13,326, 600 Is made on account of free delivery service for the fiscal year 1897-98. Negotiations are now pending for on exchange of money orders with Mexico. Mr. Jones recommends that a pen alty he prescribed for the unlawfus use of the frank of a member of congress and suggests $300 fine In each case. He says, he law was disregarded during the campaign just closed. NEW WORLD'S RECORD. Wefers Makes New Time for 100 and 300 Yards. Washington, Nov. 8. A red letter chapter In the history of amateur ath letics was written at Georgetown yes terday, by Bernard J. Wefers, who beat two world's records for 100 yards, and for 300. The first was made in tha remarkablu time of a 3-4 seconds, and the second in SO 2-6. It was Wefer's last appearance of the year after a most remarkable campaign. The hundred-yard race was a special event, and was done on the spur of the mo ment. As he snapped the cord at the j finish the timekeepers' watches record- j ed !l 3-5 seconds, or one-fifth better than the run he had made In the Inter- uhiidiiui competition in ssew iiiik, n year ago last summer. The timer's announcement was greeted with wild cheering. When the 300 yard race was an nounced Wefers again toed the scratch. This time he hud Julius Walsh and McAneiy as pacemakers and an es cort of Georgetown athletes and stu dents. At the fipiBh Wefers was about ten feet behind Walsh and made the run In 80 2-6, thus beating his and the world's record by one-fifth of a second. The track at Georgetown has the dis advantage of a curve, in addition to being a trifle slow. NEWSPAPER MAN'S ODD WAGER. Frederick Ilurke Will Leave the ( oualrv liccause of Hryau's DcTcnl. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 8. There will be a decrease of one in the population as a result of the election. Frederick liurke, 4 local newspaper man, some months ago agreed to leave the country in the event of McKinley's election. Frank Donaldson, with whom he mado the strange wager called on Mr. Ilurke yesterday and reminded him of hia duty in the matter. It was agreed at the time the wager was made that the loser should have unil January 1, 18D7, to arrange his affairs. Speaking of his wager yesterday Mr. Burke said: "I intend to carry it out to the letter, and shall leave Milwaukee on January 1. Mr. Donaldson, with whom I made the wager Is one of my best friends, and we intend to travel from this city to New Orleans by car riage. From there I will take a boat and leave the country. I have not de termined where I Bhall go us yet, but probably to one of the South American countries." MR. HARMER IS WILLINO. lie litis Given Notice That a Cabinet Portfolio M ill lie Accepted. Philadelphia, Nov. 8. A despatch from Washington last evening stated that there was a report In Republican circles at the cupital to the effect that Congressman Alfred C. Harmer, of this city will be tendered a portfolio in the Mcfalinley cabinet. Mr. Harmer was seen today at his residence here and when shown the dispatch said it was the Hint that he had heard of It, al though for some time past, he said, ItH was intimated to mm tnat nis very close friends were bringing his name forward In connection with a cabinet office. Congressman Harmer said that the Idea of seeking a cabinet portfolio was never thought of by him for a moment, but when asked if he would accept an appointment In the cabinet he said that If such an offer was made to him by Major McKinley he would certainly give it consideration.

He Urges That the Leadership of the Liberal Party Should Be Settled. London, Nov. 8. Mr. Gladstone has written an answer to a private letter urging that the leadership of the Lib eral party made vacant by the resig nation ot Lord Roseberry, ought to lie settled and that the party ought to de termine upon a definite programme, in cluding its attitude on the Turkish question. Mr. Gladstone refers to his retirement as disqualifying him from passing judgment in political matters. He says: "When these retirements have formally taken place the public desires to know that they are real, and does not wish to see them compro mised." REMARKABLE OAS WELL STRUCK.
