THE ROME HUSTLER-COMMERCIAL
GEfl. Fin LEE
Wants io Send His Card to
Gen. Blanco Again.
UNDER MORE "FETCHING"
Circumstances and Surround
ings- What He Says.
Washington, April 15.—The
Naval Strategic Board consists
of Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
Rear Admiral Walker, retired;
Commander Clover, Commander
Crowinshield and Captain Good
rich, of the Naval War College.
The board met this morning in
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt’s
official room, and Consul Gener
al Lee was present for more
than an hour.
The veteran Virginian soldier
who is a graduate of West Point
Military Academy, and a grad
uate also of the civil war, gave
valuable information to the
board concerning the condition
of the defenses of Havana and
other points in Cuba as ascer
tained by him during his resi
dence there.
During the progress of the
conference, the details of which
have not been given out, it is
known that General Lee express
ed a personal desire to enter the
military service and Rad an
army corps in Cuba He repeated
to the board what he said to a
personal friend after his brilliant
reception last night:
“I want to send my card to
General Blanco again, under
such circumstances that he may
not have the insolence to refuse
me an audience.” This refers to
the tact that when General Lee
was leaving Havana he called
on Blanco and that Spanish
official refused to see Lee or ex
change official courtesies with
him. Now the doughty Virginian
wants to call on Blanco, at the
head of an army of American
soldiers, and take Havana from
him. Fitz is every inch an Amer
ican patriot.

completely disappeared.
Madrid, April 15--The Liberal
says • “War is inevitable, the las 1
peaceful illusion disappearing be
fore the decision announced yester
day by the sena‘e committee at
tributing to Spain the Maine ex
plosion, recognizing Cuba inde
pendence and announcing that
armed intervention will shortly
take p'ace.’’Thereupon the Liberal
warns Spain ot the danger of
delay and “further confidence
in America” lest Spain “lose by a
coup ce main, without a fight and
honor, what she can well defend."
The Liberal then urges the reas
sembling of the cortes immediate'}

Kinley of seeking annexation
