Ai-Etstant. Kec-retary iJay. of the state
ik-i'-artrr.ent, and" Secretary Long, of the
..lav-y deparinient, the following au
ih.aised statement wi.s handed to the
press by J udge Day as comprising
"everything -that 'was' to. be said by the
adrninistratibn on the. subject: ". '
"The' president whl' not consider the
recall of- General I,ee. He has borne
himse'f through" ut this - crisis ' with
judgment, fidelity and courage, to the
pieklent's entire satisfaction. As to
r the supplies' f' the relief of the Cuban
peopie. all arrangements have . peen
made to carr a consignment this- week
from Key West -.by one of the naval
vessels, whichever may be best adapted
and Tnest available for the, purpose, to
Matanzas and'Sagua."
The request for General Lee's recall
is understood to have come vithirt the
last few. days, and doubtless since the
last, cabinet meeting on Friday, as no
reference was made to it at that time.
It' tame through Minister "Woodford, a
somewhat unusual proceedure, as the
common mode: of requesting, the with
drawal of a minister or. a consul is
through the representative of the gov
ernment making the -'request,- which in
this ease is Senor Du Bcsc. the Spanish
'charge d'affaires. Mr! Du Bos'c had re
ceived no instructions! on the subject,
and was in complete ignorance of the
demands made through Minister Wood
ford. The other suggestion of the Span
ish government that ' relief 'supplies
should not be sent in war; vessels did
not come .th'roueh Minister Woodford,
but was presented by Senor-Du Bosc
to the state department last Friday.
Since t,he Maine'disastelr a repOrt has
been circulated that (Jeheral Lee held
the personal opinion that the ;explotion
was due tp external cause. No official
report ot this chai:acier was ever sent
to Washington so xi a& is known. But
the mere . circ ulafipn jf the ,rerort at
Madrid, ,atti ibu; ing sueh views to Gen
eral Lee, has been':; the' .source of muc h
feeling in Spanish; oKVrial circles. The
press clispaichf s from? Madrid also.'dis-e-fope
that Genera! Lee is held aecbunt
able at the Spanish capital for the pro
ject c'f ' the .-: urehase of Cuba bv the
United S:a ts fixni Spain, as well- as
for "a general sentiment of sympathy
toward the insurgents. The sutisesiion
:f The Imparl ial. a leading government
orga.n, that the. T.e::t session of. the
c-ortes' wili consider, the ease of General
Lee, shows the sti ng influences which
induced the SagSsia cabinet to "ask his
recall. Seiicr Dtij'uy de Lome's en
fcirced -retirement' is also felt to have
awakened 'a.e'ouhler seh'irn'ent at Mad
rid, which finds expression- against
Consul Cenoral Lee. '
There is.li'tia doubt, however, that
the main cause of Snajh's action is the
symjiathies (jencral Lee has shown for
the Cuban suL'eters. It is shown that
his -.active and open syrr. pa'thyvwith the

As a matter of fact. Spain requires
no formal exr-iife- for the dismissal of
a consular officer, according to interna
tional. "law!'. -.These officers are not en
dowed usually with; diplomatic priv
ileges, and they exist entirely by the
sufferance of the nations to which they
are sent, f'o Consul General Lee' may .
be dismissed from his post at the pleas
ure of the Spanish government, and
this Svpulc! not violate any section of
international law. This radical course
is not expected, however, and all the
indications rejK-hingrv officials here is
that- Spain will not proceed further
with the-incident.! - .
The supplies for the starving '.Cubans
will not be taken on the cruisers Mont
gomery and Nashville. It is under
stood that the dispatch boat Fern will
perforin the dutv. The Fern is much
better suited for such duties.

paratively easy. Four 12 inch guns

the only ones that are considered dan
gerous. These are not likely to be . well
served, while their emplacements are
not modern. ; .
Tf at some Spaniards are of tke opin
ion that an attack on Havana will be
made is believed to be shown by the
abnormal activity displayed on board
the Vizcaya. This correspondent has
the best naval authority for the state
ment that the Vizcaya is in a constant
state of readiness for emergencies, and
that picket boats are on the alert day
and night.
It. is pointed out that the men-of-war
Vizcaya and Almirante Oquendo, when
the latter arrived, might be caught in
a 'blockade- and fa'l an easy prey to
a United States fleet! The cruiser .Al
fonso :XII is w-ithout boilers, and would
be of -no use. All this discussion of the
probability of war among the Ameri
cans and; Spaniards proves nothing,
and only shows the state- of feeling
here. .

in the general .activity at League Isl
and navy yafrd..- Workmen were busily
engaged "upon the cruiser Minneapolis,
the monitor Miantonomah and the ram
Katahdin. In addition work was-go'ng
on in the mold loft, ahd'several forges
were in operation in the blacksmith
shop. The ut most reticence prev'ailed'
among the officers, sailors and work
men at the yard, and it was impossible
to obtain any official information as to
the detail of the work going on. It was
evident,-, however, that all work was
being pushed as rapidly as possible.
The immense crowds which flocked
to the naval station the previous Sun
day were largely increased yesterday,
but no one was allowed to get close to
the warships. Sentries were posted at
the entrance to the wharves, and only
workmen and those on business were
allowed inside the lines. The old single
turret monitors in j the back channel.
relics of the late war, were an at
traction to thousands, and their decks
were crowded all day long. It was
reported that five of" these will be taken
out -of their berths as soon as possible
and tested with modern guns, aboard.

and the enormity of the crime, it was

Rome, March "7. Signer Felice Carlo
Cavaiotti, poet, dramatist, publicist,
and the well known Radical member of
the chamber of tieouties .for Corte-.
Olona, was killed here yesterday af
ternoon in a duel with' swords with
Signor Maeola, member of the chamber
of deputies and editor of the Gazzetta
Di Venezia. ' The encounter was the
outcome of a press polemic in the col
umns of th3 Milan Secolo and the
Gazzetta Di Venezia. It took place at
an' unfrequented spot outside th.e Porta
Maggorie. . - -
The first two engagements were with
out result, but in the third- Signor
Cavallotti received a thrust in the
throat that severed his jurular. The
doctors and his seconds carried him to
Zellino and laid him on a bed in the
residence of the Countess Cellaro.
Tracheotomy was performed, and arii-
fit4al breathing attempted, but all ef
forts were useless. Signor Cavallotti
expired ,in ten minutes. ; Signor Macola;-v
did not receive a scratch. ,
Signor Cavallottiv made his -'.will im
mediately before the duel, which was
the 32d he had fousrht. The body will -be
embalrned and lie in state at his
residence.
Though political opponents, Signor
Yavallotti .and Signor Maeola were per
sonal friends. For this reason their
seconds tried to avoid the duel, but the
matter becoming ridiculous in the pub
lic eyes,' the principals decided that
they must fight. The death of Caval
lotti is a great loss to the Radical party.
Italian laws regards killing in a duel
as "qualified murder," but Signor Ma
cola has gone to Venice, unmolested,
under the protection of his parliamen
tary prerogative." -
The news On reaching this city caused
a great sensation. Numerous deputies'
and friends hurried to the SDot, and
there is universal regret, over the
tragic end of Cavallotti.
The late Signor Felice Carlo Eman
uele Cavallotti, who was a member of
a family originally Venetian, was bprn
at Milan on Nov. 6, 1842. At the age
of 18, having become already noted for
his" poetry breathing hatred for Aus
tria, he threw himself with ardor as a
writer and a soldier into the struggle
for Italian independence, taking part
in various expeditions and publishing
in the newspapers of the day articles
and verses whose revolutionary au
dacity attracted wide attention. Since
that day he has be'en a most, oro'ify?
writer, and his dramas have always at
tracted wide attention.
Often elected to the Italian parlia
ment, his career in the chamber from"
time to time was signalized Jjy.no less
agitation than the Duplication of his
poetic efforts. More than once his
i-merpellations and his .speeches invoked
the parliamentary tempes:s. He was
a "lifelong opponent of ' Signor Crism,'
ana was giaa to De Known as one 01
the Italian politicians who resisted
with all their energies the tide which,
under the . auspices of Cris.u, carried
Italy toward Germany. -
In 1895, when the Banca , Romana
scandal was the sensation of Europe,'
Signor Cavallotti, then leader of the
opposition in the Italian chambers, dis
covered what he called a new and most
promising lode. Going through the list
of great and little men entitled to wear
the Grand Cross of the Order of St
Maurice and Lazare, he came, upon the
name of Dr. Cornelius Herz. Rightly
conjecturing that 'it would not be 'there
except for a cash consideration, he
prosecutecLhis inquiries . until he felt
warranted in making the public de
claration that Sisnor Crispi, the pre
mier of that day, was guilty of an il:
liclt trafficking in decorations. Not
long after he published a pamphlet
against Crispi repeating this charge,
and adding the" charge -of bribery in the
fifth district of Rome, where the pre
mier had defeated the Sicilian -Socialist
Guiseppe de Felice Giuffrida. He even
gave notice in the chamber of a mo
tion to annul the election. When the
matter came up Crispi flatly declined
to make any statement as to the quar
rel, and the chamber sustained his ac
tion. ignor Cavallotti then renewed the
attack in his paper. The Secolo, of Mi
lan, and announced that he would" pre
fer, charges in the courts. TJits threat
he carrled out, and in his denunciation
Of Crispi to the criminal authorities he
asked for. the examination of the Mar
quis di Rudini and Signor Berti, secre
tary of the department of decorations,
as witnesses in support of his charges,
as touching Corneiins Herz, a Panama
canal lobbyist. These proceedings,' with
various modifications, were continued
Until the court of cassation recently
transferred the whole matter to par
liament. Pending this decision, how
ever, Signor Cavallotti proposed the
impeachment of Signor Crispi, then
fallen from power, for the disasters in
the Abyssinian campaign. To, the las:
he relentlessly pursued Crispi, and the
latter, in the death of his brilliant and
fearless adversary, will probably see
the end of the long campaign against
hirn.- . .
