New York, Aug. S.-According to adj
vices received from Havana by the
Cuban junta, General Blanco appre-
ciates the fact that he must soon with
draw himself and his forces from the
island of Cuba He assumed mild
ness of demeanor which compares
strangely with his previous bombastic
attitude and frequently expressed de-
termination to hold out in Havana to
the death, and he is treating the in
surgents with great consideration.
In recent proclamation he made
known to the Spanish people of Cuba
that Spain, through the Intervention of
foreign powers, had been forced to the
disgraceful issue of suing for peace.
and that there would be no more war
and no further use for soldiers.
He offered a pardon to all Cuban
political prisoners. and more than $50
were released in Havana.
In explaining Spain's defeat in his
proclamation Captain General Blanco
Informs his readers that Spain, having
suffered so much in the present war,
could not resist the interference of the
foreign powers and go to war with all
countries at once, so she was COM
PEELED to sue for peace.
Havana, he says, will be given over
to Americans and Cubans, and the
Spaniards will be forced to evacuate.
Captain General Blanco assures the
soldiers and all Spanish residents who
wish to return to Spain or go to other
Spanish possessiGi:s. that they Will get

SO, that paper wisely says, that the

with the strongest man with an

the nomination must be loyalty and

member of the party. Harmony
of action must be secured and earn

As a Democratic editor, having
only the success of the party and
IFS principles at heart, we urge up
on the County Convention when it
meets in this place August 18th,
to take the Congressional matter
in hand, and finally and fully set
tie it, by declaring who shall the
candidate be to presented to the
Congressional Convention, at Spen-
Ger, September LIST. and when that
question is settled let the candi-
date decided upon select his own
delegates to the Congressional
Convention. that he may have a
delegation that is not turned by
every blast of wind, but whom he
can rely upon to stay with him all
the time, until he gives them the
word to vote as they please" In
this way Mason will go there
united, and will be formidable in
the convention, with the chances
strongly in favor of nominating a
Mason county man for Congress.
