General Lee cab to tlm State department on Sunday thai : Itlcardo Hulz , an American citizen , had dl apparently from violence , In a Cuban . ' within forty-eight hours and that anotl American citizen , Charles Pranklln Sec had been kept In solitary confinement nearly 300 hours In plain violation of Amc can treaty rights.

No reply v received from Secretary Olney. General Leo then cabled to Secretary ( ney Ihal be should resign If he was i backed up promptly. Secretary Olney mo a long response , the tenor of which I s unable to state , but as a icsult of Gene Leo's vigorous protest , the Spanish g < efnmcnt ordered an Immediate Invcstli lion of the death of Dr. Uulnnd Char Kranklln Scott , tbo other American prison was placed on Monday night In a slate communlcado , thai Is , his friends were i lowed lo visit him. HIS RIGHTS OUTRAGED. Ills confinement prior to Monday eve Ing for twelve dajs In a dungeon , be > o the reach ot protection of his govcrnmc and ignorant o\en of the charges agali him , was a flagrant violation by Spain of t rights guaranteed to all American cltlrc arrcsled without arms in their hands. The relnllons helicon General Lee a the State department are still straliu General Lee continues to act with t grcalest vigor In the line of duty , assuml that tlio government at Washington w now support him. The emphatic prot ( has had this effect at least. There Is longer any reason to apprehend Immedls danger to any American now nllvo and cc fined In any Cuban jail. But If a new crisis should arise nnd Secretary Gluey should fall , as be did le v.eck , to glvo General Lee prompt nnd ae quato aulhorlly to act , General Lee w Immediately resign. Again , I repeat he has not yet reslgnc and has not naked for war ships. If ho constrained to do either within the nc five clays , my own absolute knowledge the slluatlon hero leads mo lo prcdlcl th he will have the unanimous support of t : people of the United States , and the go eminent at Washington has been apprls of General Lee's Intentions.
