Trip VIII Take Eleven Days.

Officials believe his departure is more
likely to be deferred until the goth. The
trip from Barcelona to Havana Wilt
about eleven days, so that the new cap
tain general will not reach Havana be-
fore the early part Of next month. This,
it is said will permit all pending Cuban
questions to be held in suspense at least
until the new official reaches his post.
After that it is anticipated the Spanish
cabinet will desire that General Blanco
be given time to familiarize himself
with the situation and his duties, and to
mature the policy he is to apply to the
island The execution of that policy,
an allowance of time for its fair trial.
etc, according to those in position to
accurately judge the situation will lead
to protracted delays on those subjects

invited the attention of Spain. Senior

ton, has returned, and is the only Span
