Washington, Jan. IS.- Consul-General Fitzhugh Lep. who with truc southern hospitality extended '"the freedom of the city" to his southern frifnd, Senator Money, on the occasion of the lstter's visit to Havana, flnds himself in au imbroglio with the tata department as the result oí his generosity. It ia aömitted tiue sentlments attributod to the cónsul-general liy Senator Mouey are correct. The eonanl-general believes tliat Spain caiinot put dewn iho Cuban insurrection and -c 80 to Secretary Olney and tho president on his recent yisit to Waehlng:on. But he was warned by the president and Secrptary Olney not to talk ror publication. Consul-General Lee, in the glow of his hospitality, told Senator Money wliat he thought and it developed later that the Mississippi senator visited tho island as the representative of a New York newspaper and he quoted Gen. Lee in extenso. That the president v.ill mildly ï-ebuke his old frifind tho ïisul-general, seems certain. MAltTIXELLI INTKKVIKWED. r.ïpal nclcgatc Thinks War In i'i.r Is Xearing an End. Washington, Jan. 13. - The papal delégate, Archbishop Martinelli. lias received discouraging no.ws from Uia vicar-general, Roderiquez, in Rome, regartling the rebellion in the Philippine Islands. In an interview .Mgr. Martinelli discussed the situation in both tte Philippine islands and ia Cuba with considerable frewlom. He said: "The rebellion in the Philippines is liköiy to prove a most horrible affair, as the natives aro only semi-civilized. Spain, too, is handicapped to somo extent by the fact that she ínaintams on the island a seattered army of only 4,000 men. Spain will have a difficult task to sulxlue the half-barbarous people of the Philippines." Mgr. Maitinelli. after referring to the various reports regarding hlmsel and the affairs in Cuba, said: " I have reason to believe that tho rebellion in Cuba will be ended very Bhottly. The Spanish seem to be vio torious every day and the list of killed and wounded grows constantly larger. "The close connection between the government and people of Spain and the vatican presupposes au inclination toward their side. The vaticau has always been in favor of established governments and against rchellions." K.viiuiiiif duna Kot Shippcd.
