Exit Blanco.

ton by the Spanish government will
probably hasten the evacuation of
Cuba and make the situation pleasant
er for Americans. He is unwilling 10
remain and receive an official call from
General Lee at the head of an Ameri-
can army, and SO returns to Spain.
Blanco was sent to Cuba to placate the
United States. He took the place of
Weyler, the butcher, who was intense
ly hostile and very obnoxious The
purpose was to make show of re-
form and mitigate the horrors which
Weyler had systematized. The latter
had gone SO far as to require the most
radical remedies, which Blanco was
not prepared to administer, and his at
temps at political reforms under re-
strictions from Madrid were not en-
dorsed by the people, and soon as
sumed the character of burlesque. But
Blanco was not outwardly hostile to
the United States until after the Maine
disaster.
1t is not reasonable to infer that he
was in any way connected with that
catastrophe, and he bitterly resented
the charge that any Spanish official
was implicated in it. From that time
his attitude to the United States was
reversed. Instead of a self-called
friend, he became an open and implac
clared he was in some respects the
most serious obstacle to this country,
Had his ability been equal to his en-
nifty, the government might still be
| fighting for the possession of Cuba.
He tried to prevent the surrender at
Santiago, and it was he who drove Ger
vera to sea and enabled Admiral
Schley to destroy his fleet. Blanco
made the discovery that it was easier
In spite of the fact, apparent to Spain
as well as to the rest of the world, that
Cuba was irretrievably lost. he was, or
pretended to be, anxious to continue
the unequal contest, and has not since
then evinced the slightest inclination
to aid his country in her efforts to
bring about peace.
| Blanco's ability as a statesman, if
| judged by his administration of Cuban
| affairs ic wi ri
If he desired to better the conditions in
Cuba-and it is fair TO presume that he
| did-he failed utterly. The two hun
dred thousand reconcentradoes, the
remnant saved from the Weyler
| regime, have perished, and their
bleaching bones are his most conspicu-
Gus monument. His departure from
Havana will be a great relief to the
| United States. He could not actively
oppose the American plans, bu,
through his high office he could exert
pernicious influence, and make the
situation exceedingly unpleasant. Cen
eral Ariolas, his second in command, is
| clustering soldier with little in
| fluence, and what little he had has
| been seriously impaired by recent con-
| fiicts with his troops. The government
| can deal with him more summarily
! than with Blanco if ne offers any OBJ
struction to its policy. The time is
rapidly approaching for the complete
| occupation of Cuba. The troops are
selected and are ready for the work.
and the sooner the United States takes
| possession the better it will be for all
parties, and especially for the Cubans,
| who are most interested.

The prevailing opinion among those

Deering will be annexed to Portland by
the Legislature at its coming session.
1t is known that some OF those most
actively opposed to annexation at the
last balloting on the question have
now changed their minds and would
not be sorry to see the two cities made
one. The vote was then so close that
a few such changes would indicate a
clear majority in favor of annexation.
The representative from Deering and
all the Portland delegation favor an
nexation. and they can carry consider
able influence with them by working
together. 1t is probable that the in
creased tax rate in Deering this year
has changed the minds of many former
opponents of annexation. They fear
still further additions in years to come
if the cities remain separate.

MEETING OF ARCHBlSHOPS
Annual Gathering Of Eminent Prelates' OF
the Roman Catholic Faith
Condition of the Church in United
sity Directors Meeting.

The condition of the Catholic Church
throughout the country will be considered
at the annual meeting of the archbishops
of the United States. which will be held at
the Catholic University, this city, beginning
October IL. full attendance of the leading
figures of the church is expected, including
Archbishop Keane, who has come from
Rome to attend it, The directors OF the
university hold their annual meeting at the
same time. 1t is understood the archbish-
OPS will deal with little outside of the rou-
large questions pending.
It Is said the meeting will not deal with
the questions of Catholic authority in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines. So far DIS
Cuba and Porto Rico are concerned, they
are under an established Catholic archbish-
opric which will not be disturbed in any
way The church authority is centered at
Santiago, that being the old capital OF the
island, and the archbishop Of Santiago has
two suftragans, one at Havana and another
in Porto Rico.
The bishop at the two latter points, as
we'll as the archbishop of Santiago, will re-
main in control of Catholic affairs. The
purpose is to avoid upheavai, such as would
result from q sudden change in the govern
ing powers Of the church in these quarters,
and no changes will be made until they
come about naturally by death or retire.

1 can vouch for the truth of the following
interesting case Of clatvoyanse: On Au-
gust II young man named Livio Cibrario,
belonging to one ofzthamost ancient fami-
lies of Turin, while aatt enpting to climb the
peak of RoccameIone, in the Maritime
Alps, lost his waSs ana on the following

mans father. who1Aas sat Turin, and knew
nothing of his son,dfi exHIsdition to the Roc

aroused the rest OF the family, announcing
with tears that Liyio INas dead. He had
seen him distinctly, he said, blood flowing
from his battered head, and had heard
these words spek4n in a voice of terrible
anguish:
broke my head, ana TAP dead. quite dead"
The other membefs of the family tried in
vain to persuade the, poor count that the
ghasrly vision was nothing but nightmare,
and the bereaved father continued in a
state of anxiety bordering upon distrac ton
till the morning. when the official conftrma-
ton of the terrible accident reached him.
This case of teIepathy, or whatever name
