HAVANA, June 22.-lo:45 a M
There is absolutely no foundation for
the report published in the United States
OF an attempt to assasslnate. Captain
General Blanco by a. member of the
volunteers, whose brother, It was alleg-
ed. had been shot for completely In a
plot against the government General
Blanco enjoys the esteem OF ell
classes In Havana. ~.
Complete tranquility prevails in Ha-
vana The greatest confidence Is felt
that the Spanish forces will success
fully cope with the American soldiers,
who were yesterday reported TO have ar
rived on the transports of the harbor OF
Santiago de Cuba. There Is great en-
thusiasm among the troops and volun-
teers, who are all anxious to fight
against the invaders.
Captain General Blanco denies that
he had decided that there shall be no
exchange OF prisoners with the United
States. AT the same time the captain
general says that he cannot allow the
exchange OF Lieut.. Hobson and other
members OF the party who sailed the
Merrimac Into the harbor a: Santiago dc
Cuba, for the reason that Lieut., Hobson
and his companions had opportunities
for seeing the harbor and It's defences.
Captain General Blanco added that he
had not forbidden the approach OF vcs-
sells bearing flags Of truce, but he had
only ordered that no vessel be permitted
to approach within six miles OF tho
shore. so that It made It impossible for
officers OF the United States to make
drawings or inspect fortresses.

To-day the state conventions OF the

The platforms do not conflict on any
essential point. That adopted by the
Popullsts is, perhaps. less radical than
heretofore; and at the request Of the
Popullsts, plank was inserted In tho
Democratic platform favorlng the initi-

ANGL0-SAX0N ALLIANCE

Tho English Secretary OF State for War
Defends IT'S Propriety and Feasibility. 4
LONDON. June 22.-:The Marquis Of
Lansdowne, secretary OF state for war,
addressing the Conservative unions ol
London this evening. endorsed the re.
cent Birmingham speech OF the secre-
tary OF state for the colonies, in which
Mr.. Chamberlain expressed the hope
that the day would come when the
stars and stripes and the Union Jack
would wave together over an Anglo
Saxon alliance. &
Lord Lansdowne said he found moth
ing In Mr.. Chamberlain's speech to o.
fend the common sense or patriotism OF
the people OF Great Britain. I'VE should
be wanting in foresight" he continued,
''if we failed to realize that the time
might come when our revenues would
no longer flow so freely, when the Brit
Ish taxpayer would grow weary Of
building more and more battleships and
raising more and more battalions. and
when. whether we liked It or not, we
might have to consider whether we
could afford to stand alone"
Lord Lansdowne insisted that It was
In the highest degree desirable that the
colonies should be encouraged to take a
more active share In the defense Of the
empire. There was notl1ing ridiculous
in the idea of closer friendship with
America. To his mind there could be
no more inspiring ideal than such an
understanding between two nations
sprung from the same race and having
so many common interests, nations,
which together were predominant In the
worlds commerce and Industry. Il
depend upon It," said Lord Lans-
downe In conclusion, these are no mere
idle dreams or hazy aspirations. The
change which has, come over the senti.
ment OF each country toward the other
during the last year or two Is almost
immeasurable. One can scarcely be.
leve they are the same United States
with whom only two years ago we were
on the verge Of a serious quarrel. The
change is not am, ephemeral under
standing between dlplomntists; but q
genuine desire of the two peoples 20 be
friends. and therefore, It cannot be
laughed out OF existence by the sort OF
comments we hnye lately heard :"

both Secretary Alger anu Secretary

and meaning 1T said:

Secretary Alger expressed himself as
delighted at the expedition with which
the landing OF the troops was being ef-
fected. and with the fact that no ser
;ous obstacle was being offered by the
enemy. He construed the text OF GEN
