Recall of Lee Prolongs Busy Washington War Footing
Washington indications suggest Spain will not press for Lee’s recall. Secretary Long says no view on which ship should carry relief supplies. The despatch boat Fern may replace the cruiser Montgomery while official orders still designate war vessels. Spaniards in Havana prepare for attack as unusual activity on their ships is noted. Thirteen newspaper correspondents arrested for conspiracy face expulsion from Cuba, others under watch. The United States steamship Essex arrives at New York and is ordered to Portsmouth for rapid repairs. A Maine disaster court of inquiry may finish its investigations by tomorrow night.
