Long Does Not Deny That Blow Brought the
 Report
(By Associated Press)

Washington, March 19.-Seeretary Long this morning did not deny specifically that Ldeutenat Blow was bearer of the Maine board of irlquiry's report, but he asserted that the Heutenant had conveyed to him no information in the conference and added that the report would be here next week. Tue revival of the rumor that the report had come was called to the secre- tary's attention during the afternoon with 6 request for an answer to the concrete question, whether Lieutenant Blow had brought with him the report 0he actual documentj of tho board of inquiry.
 In reply to this Secretary Long sent word that he could say nothing more than he had already said, that the report would be here next week."
 The arrival of several survivors of the Maine and the extended Sonferences with President Mckinley and Secretary Long furnished the-mo interesting feature in boday's developments of the Spanish stu- alton. Three officers of the Maine, Lieut.. W, G. Holman, Lieut. c. P. Blow and Lieut. A. w. Catlin, of the marine corps, accompanied by Boatswain Larkins, came on unexpectedly from Key West
 It was said their visit was purely volun- tsry on their part, as they are now on waiting orders and are free to go where they please. Their long conferences at the navy department and later at the white house led to much conjecture, it being as- serted thmt Lieut.. Blow brought with him the report of the court of inquiry, or at

 Anniston, Ala, March 19.-The democratic county executive committee was In session in this city all the afternoon. The com- mittee called the county convention at Jacksonville, April 13; beat meetings, April g. The committee ordered the convention to select delegates to the state, Judiciary, chancery and congressional conventions, and left the nominating ofecandidates for county offices to the discretion of the con- vention.

 Struggle Between Capital and Labor
 New Bedford, Mass, March 19-The ninth week of the struggle between capital and labor in this city finds the situation prac- tically unchanged except that the opera lives have conceded that they might be willing to go back to work under a reduce ton of per cent instead of 10 per cent. A secret meeting of the officers of the labor unions was held last night and today and it was agreed to meet the manufacturers on the question of the cut down. An inn portant meeting was held this afternoon at which the employees inquired if com promise on per cent reduction would be considered. This, however, was not con- sidered by the manufacturers who said that "when the conditions of the market warrant an increase of wages the New Bedford mills will give their employees the benefit of 1t with others

 Letters received here from prominent au- tonomsts in the provinces of Santa Clara and Puerto Principe have been shown to this correspondent. The writers are not favorable to the United States; they still cling to the theory of autonomy, and class as false the assertions that the Spanish soldiers are Unpaid and unfed, and living in towns, while their officers are eonspir- ing against the autonomist government and refuse to take the field, either denying the presence of the insurgents or saying Let the troops who are in favor of autonomy fight its battles.'
 Plans Badly Conceived
 Other letters from the same source in- sist that all the plans laid to secure the surrender of the insurgents have been badly conceived and poorly executed. These let ters add that only in isolated instances have any of the insurgents laid down their arms, and the insurgent leader, Masso, who surrendered, 1t is still further asserted, was prescribed by Gen. Gomez and was liable tO DC Irleu Dy Wnlle some Ol the 100 insurgents who surrendered with him at Fomento, more than half were back with the insurgents within a fort night.
 The general oponion seems that the Pando conference will in any event be the end of autonomy, and the most sanguine assert that it will make the intervention of the United States imperative. Those who have this view claim that the intervention of the United States will be necessary to pre- vent outrages which will disgrace civiliza- tion, and also to protect American citizens in Cuba Under the circumstances, news of the conflict from the scene is awaited here with the greatest anxiety.
 In spite of official and other denials, 1t is believed that serious troubles for Spain in Porto Rico are imminent, and 1t is as- serted Ghough the report cannot be veri- fled at present. that the Spanish cruiser Vizcaya, when she leaves Havana, will go to Porto Rico in order to strengthen the hands of the government there.

There is no possibility that operations
against Havana WI begin before the

the definite information that the Spanish
fleet is now en- route to Cuban waters.
and also the determination Of the war
board to await naval developments in
the Caribbean Sea. There is some talk
now that the invasion will be postponed
until fall. and it is probable that II Ad-
miral Sampson should by one vigorous
assault destroy the prestige of the Span
sary at all
All preparation by the troops at the
Gulf ports for an Immediate invasion
have been suspended and orders are be-
ing dispatched to Tampa. Mobile and
New Orleans directing the generals in
command to await instructions before
proceeding with the work already begun.
1t is not at all improbable that on ac-
count of hygienic conditions the regular
forces now at Tampa will be ordered
back to their old camp at Chickamauga.
This will depend In great measure upon
the maneuvers Of Admiral Simpsons
fleet.
The scene of Army interest will be
transferred from Tampa to Chickamauga
for the next few days, as a result of the
abandonment of the original purpose OF
immediate invasion. Advantage will be
taken of the delay to better the condition
of the volunteers now under orders to
| mobilize at that camp. and they will be
put through all kinds of field maneuyers
i to improve their efficiency.
The indefinite postponement of the Gu
ban invasion is considered very advantage
eous to the quartermaster's and commits
sary departments for the reasons that
| more time will be afforded them to pur-
chase the necessary supplies. The Gov
ernment has purchased every yard of
canvas in the country for tent equipment.
but this is not half enough TO supply the
demand, and for this reason the quarter
masters general welcome the additional
time now placed at their disposal

The number of officers was 1.Si1 and men
