By Wire to The Tklsg ram. Washington, Jan. 13 The administration-has been awakened to an at titude toward the Spanish cause in Cuba that is of very grave - portent. The state department has just received cables from Consul-General Fitz. Lee which indicate that mob violence led by army officers, has taken possession of the Cuban capital and the lives and property of American citizens are in serious danger. While the mob has as yet only ven ted its fury upon the autonomist or gans of the city, there is no doubt in the mind of General Lee that it is di rected against Americans, and the at titude that this country has seen fit to adopt. The American consulate is in such imminent danger that General Blanco has surrounded it with infantry and artillery. Every street leading to the consulate is guarded by the military to prevent an attack if -possible. General Lee cables this morning to the state department that the condi tion of affairs is serious and is such as would warrant prompt and impera tive action on the part of this govern ment.

Up to now no bill has been returned. There was a refu sal to let . any one see the present ments.
