BLANCO AN OpTIMIST.
Tells the Queen Regent He Expect
Victory for Spain.

NEW YORK, July 4.-Advices received by
the junta say: News has reached here to the
effect that Capt. Gen. Blanco has sent mes
sage from Havana to the queen regent OF
Spain requesting her to relieve Admiral Ger
vera from command of the fleet in the harbor

by Commodore Vilamil.
Gen. Blanco said further that he did not
believe that Admiral Cervera was equal to
the Importance of his command, and in mat
ed that if Santiago Is lost to the America an
and Cuban soldiers 1t will be due to his neg
Blanco thinks that Admiral Cervera 8
allowed valuable opportunities to slip by
while he has been lying in the harbor of San
tiago, and says that he should have gone
out to meet and fight the American fcet be-
fore the invading army was given cpp;r-
tunity to land
At the same time Blanco's message shows
that he still believes, rather hopes, that
Spain will be victorious. He informs the
queen regent that the dissension and unrest
among the police and volunteers in Havana
blown over, and the inhabitants of the city
as well as the soldiers are pacifc and patri-
otto in their expressions and actions. He
says that the American s-ldiers are not fit
to fight in Cuba, never having had any OK
perience in tropical countries, and thu in
terse heat and wet climate have produced
much Illness amongst them.
The Cuban soldiers he refers to very con-
temptuousy saying that no account is TO be
taken of them, and he urges the queen regent
to pay no attention to American reports of
Tor the sensational American press and have
no foundation in fact.

made by eH-President Benjamin Harrison

numerous other prominent men. All the
preparations came to a sudden stop several
days ago, when the Army and Navy league

better use by donating the money to the sup

riched by some thousands of dollars No or
ganized celebration was, therefore, held in
Chicago today.
