streets were gaily decorated. The
wharves were crowded with people and
the troops and volunteers lined the
thoroughfares from landing stage to
the palace.
When Marshal Blanco arrived at the
palace he was met by the civil and
military authorities and by commits
sioners representing the various politi-
cal parties and then proceeded TO the
hall Of conferences, where. in accord
ance with the ritual and ceremonies
customary on such occasions. he took
the oath of fidelity to Spain.
BLANCo'S PROCLAMATION.
Marshal Banco has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation to the inhabitants
of Cuba:
Il am again among you with good
will and a sincere desire to serve
the general welfare and TO establish
a lasting peace. l shall follow u broad
policy in my endeavor to restore fra
ternity among all of Cuba's inhab-
itants. l am sincere in my intention to
inaugurate new government policy,
the object OF which will be to secure
and preserve peace.
81 hope you will all salute and en-
brace the Spanish flag, throwing aside
all prejudices and discharg!ng alliance
with those who are staining the coun-
try with blood.
"Clcmcncy awaits all who observe
the laws, hut however regrettuble it
may be, ! shall vigorously fight those
who obstinately or ungratefully con-
tnlue to carry on war"
/ TO THE ARMY.
{ This proclamation has been issued by
Marshal Blanco to the armed forces of
L the island:
] 81 desire to express my admiration
I for you who, in two years Of hard cam
paign have always bravely fought the
Infamous revolution. This l soon ex-
pect to suppress through your heroic
efforts and with the concurrence OF the
[ whole country, which will unhesltat-
! inCly side with us to fight the victims
of Authorizations, who aspire only 20
what must bring their complete de-
struction to which all offers, rs the
only compensation, treason to the his
tory Of their race or the sale Of their
country to foreigners. Let there be
war therefore, on the stubborn enc
mics Of the Spanish people ard protec-
tlon for those who seek the clefnency
of Spain; and let this wa, 'yhich dis
honors us and is makingsps penniless,
cease forever"
NO OVERTURES OF AUTONOMY.
There is no reference to autonomy in
any proclamation and both have pro-
duced n bad effect among all SYM
pathizers with the insurrectlon. Mar
shal Rlanco, when formally assuming
his new functions at the palace, said
to the populations Of the conservative,
autouomist and reformist parties, that
in order to obtain peace through the
new policy, II would be necessary for
all politic7' parties to unite. To the
military Populations he said that he
would answer war by war. repeating
the substance Of his proclamation in
that respect. He made no overtures OF
autonomy, nor did he express any
preference for any of the Cuban politl-
cal parties.
Senior Galvez. the aged and highly
esteemed president Of the autonomist
party, when addressing Marshal Blan-
co on behalf of the autonomist deputa-
ton, said II was necessary to affirm
Spenlsh dominion and the rule of tho
Spanish monarchy in Cuba through
autonomy"
He sald mot on behalf OF the au-
tonomist party but on behalf OF the
island. we ask for autonomy and We
offer the services of the autonomisi
party to help in bringing the revolt tC
an end. 1t Is highly necessary e
change the existing state of misery and
war for one Of peace and prosperity"

shall Blanco. He dined not at the palac,
but at the residence of Senior Viuda
