The Logic of the Facts. 1. The Maine was blown up by an external force. 2. That force was of such power that it must have come from some terrific, earefully prepared engine of war. 3. Sueh an engine of war could not have been in or near Havana Harbor without the knowledge of the Spanish authorities. 4+ Suen an engine of war could not have been applied to the Maine without what our statutes would define as “gross and criminal negli- gence” on the part of the Spanish authorities. 5. Therefore legaliy Spain is guilty of a crime against the United States. There is no possible escape from this logic —N. Y.

C ,March 7.—This morning Spain withdrew her request for the recall of Consul General Lee, and it is now belieyed that the inci dent is practically closed. The with drawal came in the shape of an official communication from Minister Woodford. It the request was never put in the shape of a demand, but that it was merely a suggestion upon the part of Spain. When she found that it would not be pleasantly received by this country, she promptly receded. It is learned that the Spanish ob- jection to Consul General Lee is based largely upon his sympathy f r Cubans and on some of bis utter ances which have found their way into print. It is uaderstood thet the Spaniards also take exceptions to the friendly relations and compan- ionship existing between Gen Lee and correspondents of papers which have been decidedly unfriendly to Spain. It is believed that Senor De Lome carried to Spain papers and information calculated to make the Spanish government request the re- call of Consul General Lee. is now stated that March, April, May.
