BAD FOR HOBSON
Spanish Government Refuses
to Exchange Him.
ANNOUNCEMENT BY BLANco
The Captain General Will Hereafter
Recognize No Flag of
Truce.

Every Vessel Within Six Miles Range VIII
BE Fired Upon Whether Flying the Stars

Condition of Affairs Said to Exist at Hs-
City and Province.
Washington, June 21.-The following
dispatch was received from Commodore
Watson: Captain General Blanco
states that the Spanish government re-
fuses TO exchange prisoners" Hobson
and his men are the prisoners in ques-
ton. The belief is now gaining
ground that the devoted young man and
his companions have been dead for
some time, fallen victims to Spanish
treachery. 1t is the opinion Of many
that they have never been confined in
MORO castle and that the pretense Of
the Spariards that they were prisoners
there has been merely to prevent Samp
son from destroying that stronghold.
Key West, Fla, June 21.-It is learned
from naval officers here that Captain
General Blanco has notified the Ameri-
can blockading feet that he will here
after recognize no flag Of truce, adding
that every vessel within six miles
range will be fired upon whether fly
ing the stars and stripes or a white
flag.
