the skill displayed by Weyler in
CLOSING atrocities; he murders and
Is not ashamed to let the world
know of them. Feeble as Weyler was
as a military strategist, Blanco is
even a poorer exponent of the art of
war. And his composition lacks that
peculiar brand of diplomacy which
served Weyler so well, when he
twisted crushing defeats into howl
ing victories over the insurgents, and
pacified whole provinces on paper,
even when the patriots were raiding
the suburbs of Havana
So, in the end, Cuba loses nothing
by the exchange of Weyler for Blan-
CO. Many defenceless men and wo-
men and children will be slaughtered
during the next few months, but that
will speed an international desire for
the termination of the war, and will
stimulate the patriots in the field to
extraordinary vigor. 1t will strength
en- the demand of the officials at
Washington for Cuban peace and
bring irresistible pressure upon the
government at Madrid.

mixture of vanity, cruelty, weakness
and bloodthirstiness, not pleasing

Blanco was known as butcher
twenty years ago. His greatest
achievement in that line was won in

districts was Don Camilo Polavieja,
now captain-general in the PHILIPPINE
islands. Polavieja is the greatest

| ton was begun and finished under

| The Cuban instruction of IL years

| the present one. In addition to
those killed in the field and the pa
cificos slaughtered, 1900 men were
put to death without even the trace

onism between him and the late Pre-
mier CanoVas. It has also been
charged that he had been too lenient
with the natives but he denied this
recently in a pamphlet, and the state
ments made therein fully relieve him
of the imputation of mercy.
The methods Of warfare carried on
by Blanco in the early stages of the
of the PHILIPPINE struggle were not
mild by any means. Many people
will recall the placing of 1859 natives
in dungeon in Old Manila. The I'M
fortunates were there only one night
and when the jailer inspected them
in the morning all but few were
dead suffocated by the horrible
stencil and the lack Of air. Blanco
subsequently explained this massacre
by saying that the tide water had
flowed into the dungeon Unexpectedly,
and had drowned the men. This was
the first time any one knew that the
tide penetrated to Old Manila, the in
ner fortress of the town.
Another style of his warfare was
shown when the Spanish captured
several native leaders near Cavite,
and after torturing them, disem-
boweled them and hung the bleeding
bodies, still warm, over the city's
gate as an example of what the other
natives might expect.
Blanco is said to be a wreck both
physically and mentally. He was
born in San Sebastian, in northern
Spain, and was commissioned a lieu
teant in 1855, was promoted to cap
taincy in 1858, won the rank of lieu
tenant-colonel in the war in San Do
mingo, and when the Spaniards were
driven from that island ne was sent
to the PHILIPPINES as governor Of
Mindanao

everything accomplished had been
done under instructions from Gener-
al Blanco, and Blanco never contra
dlcted the assertion
Before giving UP the struggle in
1880, Gen. CaXlito Garcia, now COM
mander of the Cuban patriot forces
IN the east, made a compact with the
Spanish General Varela, by which the
insurgent forces who were to sur
render would not be in any way mo-
Tested by the Spanish authorities. and
Garcia with his officers would be al
lowed to remain in the island if thew
chose to do so. As Varela was sup
posed to act with Blanco's authori-
lzauon, Garcia had no hesitation in
signing the compact: but he dis,
covered later that he had made a mis-
take, for Blanco ignored it. Garcia's
officers were placed in Jail or trans
ported and the Cuban leader himself
was taken to Spain as a prisoner.
He was released subsequently,. but
the Spanish got the impression that
he had been generously pardoned,
end now they hate Garcia more than
they hate all the other patriot leaders
put together.
When the revolt in the PHILIPPINE
islands broke out Blanco was the cap
taln-general there. but he was with
drawn in December, 1896. through the

GRIGGS' SCHEMES A GOOD ONE.
But He's Expected to Answer Roll Call
and Vote a gafnst Other Schemes.

But He's Expected to Answer Roll Call
and Vote gainst Other Schemes.
The following is from the Macon Tele-
graph, which has evidently overlooked
the fact that Judge Grggs was elected
on certain issues which will require his
presence in Washington:
The Albany Herald quotes a good
suggestion from Hon. James NJ. Griggs ::
'Hon. James NJ. Griqgs, congressman
elect from the second district, was in AL
bany yesterday, and was given a hearty,
welcoming hand-shake by many Of his
constituents here. When asked by
friend whom he met on the streets if he
was on his way to Washington, his reply
was an emphatic Mo- And then he add
ed with a chuckle: L WON'T 90 until
congress meets; and | don't know but
could serve my constituents better, for
the next two Years at least, by staying
right here in the district and spending my
money with them than by drawing it
and paying tout again in Washington. "
There is more in this than most peo-
pie suppose. A congressman cannot get
toe-hold in Washington during his first
term. Be he ever so bright and able he
must wait for the mellowness of age as a
congressman before he can accomplish
much. He goes to Washington, aud,
without being gay, he spends most of
his salary, If he is little gay be spends
it all. If very gay, he has to draw from
home.
Congressman Griggs has struck an
original idea, and he might work it out
