Havana, June 22. 1O45 a. m.-There Is
absolutely no foundation for the repor,
published In the United States or an at.
tempt to assassin0te Captain General Blan.
co by a member OF the volunteers whose
brother, 1t is alleged. had been shot for
completely In plot against the govern
ment.
General Blsnco enjoys the esteem OF al
classes In Havana. including the volunteers
and is regarded with the utmost confidcnee
a. the representative OF the Spanish SOW
ereignty. The Cubans admit that they are
under obligations to General Blanco for the
establishment OF autonomy.
The palace guards are from the volun-
teers, and several members OF that body
are aides on the generals staff. General
Blanco's public appearances are frequently
the occasion for patriotic demonstrations,
and that he has no fear OF assassination is
shown by the fact that he often rides out
without escort, visiting the Qualifications
about Havana without the attendance Of the
usual body guard.
Complete tranquility rcigns In Havana.
The greatest confidence is felt that the
Spanish forces will successfully cope with
the American soldiers who were yesterday
reported to have arrived off the harbor
Santiago de Cuba. There is great cnthu-
sasm among the troops and volunteers
who are all anxious to fight against the
invaders.
General Blanco denies that he has OF
shall refuse TO exchange prisoners with the
United States. At the same time the cap
tain general says he can not allow the
exchange of Lieutenant Hobgon and the
other members OF the party who sailed the
Merrimac into the mouth OF the harbor at
Santiago de Cuba. for the reason that The
lieutenant and his companions had oppor-
tunity Of seeing the harbor and it's de.
fenses. The most common prudence. the
captain general says, would forbid that
these men be now given their liberty as
proposed
Captain General Dlanco added that h,
had forbidden .he approach of vessels bear
ing flags OF truce, hut had only ordered
that no vessel be permitted to approach Ia
within six miles Of the shore so that il
may be made nitossible for ofycers OF The
United States to make drawings of or I'm.
