while it is yet night and goeth out in

they shaketh hands with great joy,
and in an hour he telleth friend of

meeteth a voter and giveth him a
cigar costing two for cents and

HAVANA, Aug. 15.-General Blanco to-day published the following ad- dress to the inhabitants of Cuba:
 If having been resolved by the Madrid Government to conclude peace with the United States, consider my mlssloIl III Ill this country ended, and have solicited my relief from duty. 1 could not urge upon you a pacific solution of the existing struggle. when not long ago aoVlseo you to maintain the war in any event.
 I came to the island of Cuba, as IS well known to all in critical circumstances, without fear of the difficulties Whlch must encounter and animated by the nope of pacifying the island and saving IL TOT Spain, with the cooperation Of all pollti- cal parties and without any other ampl- tion than to render service 10 my my cIuni- Iaoi- of faith and the distrust of some, ana the prejudices and the errors of others and aspirations. but, despite these grave difficulties, perhaps the day was not Tar distant when we could have seen realized trary to the wishes of the enemies of our race and the domination of America We had to accept the struggle at moment when it was least expected and under most unfaYorable circumstances. Never theless we sustained the campaign With vigor, and our army has already let tne invaders feel the weight of our arms, ana I was willing at the head of the army to continue disputing inch by inch, the land which with such valor and at the cost or SO much blood, we were defending.
 Since the nations Government, which is surely inspired with the great interest Of patriotism and a desire also to assure your proper interests and those of the other colony. believes the moment has arrived to make peace, 1t is our duty faithfully to second her in her purpose, but it cannot be that I am the one called upon to perform a duty which does not agree with my acts ana with my convic- tions.
 I see myself obliged to leave you nt the present painful and difficult moment. Nevertheless, will not do it without ad- vising you to maintain the calmness and prudence so necessary to save the legit- innate interests of Spain in Cuba, which represents the fruit of your labors, and thus I think I have rendered my last to her inhabitants and especially to the city of Havana.

SAN DIEGo's WATER SUIT.
Judge Ross Sustains a Demurrer
 Filed by the City.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15.-Judge Ross in the United States Circuit Court this morning decided a demurrer in the case of the Consolidated Water Company in the city of San Diego The complainant sued as the owner of bonds issued by the San Diego Water Company, secured by a mortgage upon the water and water plant with which it supplies San Diego with water for domestic and other purposes
 The complainant alleges that the de- fendant, through its municipal authori- ties. has adopted an ordinance fixing the citizens so unreasonably low as prac- tically to take away the property secur- ing complainants bonds. contrary to the constitution of the United States.
 The demurrer questioned the capacity of the complainant to sue.
 Judge Ross holds that the bill in this case shows that the mortgagee was not the complainant, but two trustees. and their interest conveyed by the mortgage was conveyed to them in trust, and the duty of protecting that interest develops upon them; for this reason the demurrer is sustained, with leave to complainant to amend if 1t desires

VICTIMS OF POISON
 BURIED AT DOVER

DOVER. Del, Aug. 15.-Whatever may be the final results of the investigation into the cause of the deaths of Mrs. J. P. Cunning and her sister, Mrs. J. D. Deane, all the indications at present are that both women lost their lives by arsenical poison taken In the candy sent from San Francisco by person at present un- known The funeral of both the victims took place to-day from the home of their father. ex-Congressman John B. Penning- ton.
 Dr. Bishop, who attended the women af- ter they had been taken i'll, gave 1t as his opinion that the deaths were due to poi soned candy. No analysis of the candy has yet been made.
 The note signed Mrs. O." is written on ruled white paper in leadpencil, and the words, with love for yourself and baby are written jerkily and in an en- tirely different hand from. the superscrip- tion, very like a woman's hand. There are two kinds of chocolates in the box, one hard and similar to confectioners' make the other soft, with every appear ance of being homemade. The impression of pr. Bishop Is that the poison will be found in the latter kind
 These examinations have given rise to a suspicion in MT Pennington's mind that the box with pure candy was purchased. after which it was opened and the pois- oned candy placed along with the good. He states 1t as his firm belief that his daughters were Intentionally poisoned, but thinks the candy was intended Tor Mrs Cunning and her baby only: He states that he will make every enort to solve the mystery surrounding the case
