CONSUL LEE TO RETURN.
He is Expected in Washington at
an Early Date.
New York, July 3.?The Herald's
Washington correspondent suys: Two
developments in connection .with the
Cuban question became public to day.
The first relates to the home coming of
Consul-General Lee,who will be in Wash?
ington within the next two weeks for
the purpose of conferring with Mr.
Woodford in regard to 'the condition of
affairs in Cuba and the Ruiz case. The
other is that Secretary of War Aiger has
quietly iutiiuated to Capt. Taskar R.
Bliss,who will soon proceed to Madrid as
the military attache of the United States
legation, that it would be tnadvisible to
take Mrs. Bliss aud her children. Lieut.
George L. Dyer, the naval attache, pro?
poses to go to Madrid uuncco:ripanied by
any of his family.
From the latter facts it is evident that
the administration proposes to make a
strong effort to end .the war In Cuba.
This is confirmed by conferences which
Minister Woodford has had ? with the
President and others and if more con?
firmation were needed his prospective
talk with Cousul-Genernl Lee furnishes
it. In addition. Mr. Woodford has care?
fully read all the correspondence between
the United States and Spain bearing on
the Cuban question since 1808, nnd is.
therefore, well fitted to make representa?
tions on the lines which the President
has laid down.
It is not expected in official circles that
Consul-General Lee will return to Ha
vana. Upon bis arrival here he will see
the President and'confer with Minister
Woodfoid aud this will probably wind
up his official career as consul-general.
It is expected that at the time of [his ar?
rival the nomination of Mr. Frank
Aldrich a? ' Iiis successor will be trans?
mitted to the Senate.
Besides facts obtained from the men
with whom he has talked and the corres?
pondence he has read, Minister Wood ford
will go to Spain equipped with a full set
of instructions both with respect to the
general question of the settlement of the
Cuban war and the Ruiz case. The in?
structions in the latter case are being
prepared with great care at the depart?
ment not only because of the importance
of the subject itself, but because of the
bearing it has upon the incommunicado
question aud other claims .of a similar
nature which are on file Jut the depart?
ment.
A close study has been, made of Span?
ish laws and legal procedure and of the
provisions of the treaties between the
United States ami Spain. JAs a result the
authorities are convinced that the Span?
ish government has no right to keep citi?
zens of this country incommunicado more
than seventy-two hours. Upon this con?
viction supported by strong legal grouuds
the department will base its demand for
au indemnity for Mrs. Ruiz, widow of
the murdered American.
The authorities are anxious that Spain
shall allow tbo points made in the Ruiz
ease, because if the prosecution be suc?
cessful it will be a precedent which will
result in the payment of other claims filed
by American citizens against Spain on
accountof injures received in Cuba at the
hands of Spanish troops.
