20 Reference to Autonomy.
There is no reference to autonomy In
either proclamation and both have pro-
duced bad effect among all sympa-
thizers with the Instruction. Marshal
Blanco, when formally assuming his
new functions at the palace. said to the
Populations of the Conservative, Au-
tonomists and Reformist parties, that
In order to obtain peace through the
new policy it would be necessary for al
political parties to unite. To the mill
{tary Populations he said that he would
answer war by war, repeating the sub.
stance Of his proclamation in that re-
|spect. He made no overtures Of auton-
omy, nor did he express any reference
for any Of the Cuban political parties
A Pointer tn Blanco.

esteemed president of the Autonomist
party, when addressing Marshal BlancC
on behalf Of the Autonomist deputation

dominion and the rule of the Spanish
monarchy in Cuba through autonomy.
ne SAID: Not on behalf Of the Auton
Omlst party, but on behalf Of the island
we ask for autonomy. and we offer the
services of the Autonomist party to hell
