HIS DEMEANOR CHANGED.
Blanco Recognizes the Fact That He Must
Soon Give Up Havana-Says There
VIII BE No More War.

New York, Aug. 9.-According to ad-
vices received from Havana by the
Cuban junta Capt. Gen. Blanco appre-
ciates the fact that he must withdraw
himself and his forces from the island
of Cuba. He assumed a mildness of
demeanor which compares strangely
with his previous bombastic attitude
and frequently expressed determine
ton to hold out in Havana to the
death, and he is treating the insur-
gents with great consideration. In a
recent proclamation he made known
to the Spanish people of Cuba that
Spain, through the Intervention OF
foreign powers, had been forced
to the disgraceful issue of suing
for peace and that there would
be no more war and no further use
for soldiers. He offered a pardon to
all Cuban political prisoners and more
than $50 were released in Havana.
Havana, he says, will be given over to
Americans and Cubans, and the Span
iards will be forced to evacuate. He
assures the soldiers and all Spanish
residents who wish to return to Spain
or go to other Spanish possessions
that they will get free transportation,
given by their mother country, to
their destination, and will go pro-
tected from interference from either
Cubans or Americans. He suggests
that the Cubans be forgiven and no
longer regarded as enemies and that
no unkind feelings be cherished.
