seHRlNG SEA TREATY.
1t In Expected One VIII Re SiEnc,
During the Week.


Washington, Nov. at is expected
that treaty of convention between the
United States, Russia and Japan will
be formally signed and executed at the
state department during the present
week, carrying out the proposition be-
fore the Behring sea conference for IL
suspension of pelagic sealing. The
present understanding is that the sign
ing of this document will occur within
the next few days. 1t will represent the
completed efforts of the conference and
with the signing concluded the confer.
ence will adjourn. The terms of the
treaty or convention will follow the
lines of the proposition considered by
the conference and referred with fu-
vorable recommendation to the au-
thorities at st. Petersburg and Toxic.
The essential feature of the treaty or
convention is for the suspension of
pelagic sealing for such a period az
will permit the seal herds to revive
The period of this suspension is not
disclosed. One report is that it will be
for one year, subject to extension. An
other is that it will cover n term of
years. But the exact duration of the
suspension cannot be verified. The
conference resumed it's sessions at the
state department, but no official state
ment was made as to what had been
done or the plans in view.

BLANoo's PROCLAMATION.
Absence of Any Reference TO Auton.
Omy Hns n had Eject.


Havana, Nov. 2.-On the arrival OF
Gen. Blanco, the new captain general,
the vessels in the harbors and the
streets were generally decorated. The
wharves were crowded with people,
and the troops and volunteers lined
the thoroughfares from the landing
stage to the palace.
When Marshal Blanco arrived at the
palace he was met by the civil and mill
tary authorities and by commissioners
representing the various politica. par
ties and then proceeded to the hall of
conference, where, in accordance with
the ritual and ceremonies customary
on such occasions, he took the oath of
fidelity to Spain.
There is no reference of autonomy
in either of Gen. Blanco's recent
proclamations, and both have pro-
duced a bad effect among all sympa-
thizers with the insurgents. Marshal
Blanco, when formally assuming his
new functions at the palace, said to the
deputations of the conservative auton-
omist and reformist parties that in
order to obtain peace through the new
policy it would be necessary for all
political parties to unite. To the mil
itary deputations he said he would an
swer wa by war, repeating the sub
stance of his proclamation in that re-
spect. He made no overtures of au-
tonomy, nor did ne express any prefer
ence for any of the Cuban political
parties.
An elaborate reception, with con-
cert of vocal and instrumental music,
was given at night in honor of Marshal
J3lanco. He dined not at the palace,
but ut the residence of Senor Viuda de
Lombillo.
