Havana, June 23.-There is absolutely
no foundation for the report of an at
tempt to assassinate Captain General
Blanco by a member of the volunteers
whose brother had been shot for COM
plicity in plot against the government.
General Banco enjoys the esteem of all
classes in Havana, including the volun
teers, and is regarded with the utmost
confidence as the representative of
Spanish sovereignty. The Cubans ad-
nit that they are under obligations to
General Blanco for the establishment
OF autonomy in the island. The palace
guards are from the volunteers, and sew
eral officers of that body are aides on
the generals staff. General Blanco's
public appearance is frequently the &C.
casion of patriotic demonstrations. and
that he has no fear of assassination Is
shown by the fact that he often rides out
without escort. visiting the Notifications
about Havana without the attendance of
the usual bodyguard.
Complete tranquility reigns in Ha-
Nana. The greatest confidence is felt
that the Spanish forces will successfully
cope with the American soldiers. There
is great enthusiasm among the troops
and volunteers, who are all anxious to
fight against the INVADERS
Captain General Blanco denies that he
has decided that there shall be no eX-
change of prisoners with the United
States. AT the same time, the captain
general says that he cannot allow the
exchange of I.ieutenan HobSon and the
other members of the party who sailed
the Merlimac into the mouth of the har
Dor at Santiago, for the lieutena mt and his
companies have had opportunities of
seeing the harbor and its defenSes. The
most common prudence. the captain
general says, would forbid that these
men be now given their liberty as pro-
posed by the United States. Blanco
added that he had not forbidden the APP
prOach of vessels bearing flags of truce,
but had only ordered that no vessel be
permitted to approach within six miles
of the shore, SO that it be made impos-
sible for officers of the United States
to make drawings of or inspect fort
reSses.

BLOCKING PUBLIC BUSINESS.
A FOOLISH EXHIBITION OF FILrBUsTERING BY
THE MINORITY IN THE HOUSE

Washington. Feb. 10 (SpeciaD.-A more aimless
and unnecessary and altogether foolish exhibition
or flibusterng was never witnessed In the House
of Representatives than that which was exhibited
by the DemoPops to-day under the brilliant lead
ership OF Mr.. Bailey OF Texas. Less than week
ago another leader OF the minority Mr. Richard

Mr.. Bailey whose equanimty had already been

loudly Insisted that that in order which I'M

appeared to advocate the passage of the Brom-
well bill extending the period In which whiskey In
bond can bo regauged from four to eight years.
The contention OF the delegation and its principal
Spokesman Mr. Harris. was that both the Gov

this extension. Mr.. Harris asserted that the GOV
