GENERAL BLANCO'S
 LATEST PROCLAMATION
Advises the Spaniards in Cuba to Bow to the Will of the
 VictorS

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-A special to the Press from Washington says: A trans lation of General Blanco's latest procla- nation to the people of Havana has reached Washington. It says:
 We have been vanquished, and with out consideration of our birthplace, will be to-morrow as strangers in this coun- try and emigrants to this portion of the world, which is to-day, and perhaps for put few weeks more, g. part of our Spanish fatherland. AS strangers and the vanquished, I counsel you, the peo. pie of Cuba, who deeply feel the dis grace of their country, not to dispute any of the benefits which the triumph gives to the victors.
 Tt is our obligation now te be quiet, not to take part in the different mani festations of a local political nature, and even to decline participation in such af- fairs, even If the right of franchise be offered us But we have one duty which should be duty of love; that Is to un- tertake the task of reconstructing all your interests, and 1t is your duty also to ask for, even appeal if it becomes necessary, from your position as the van quished to the victorious, for guaran- tee of your personal safety and the pro- lection of your proper interests.
 If you do as I counsel you, the United States will take care of your lives and your interests. My mission here soon will be finished, as will be the sovereignty of Spain, and any one who feels that with honor to himself he may continue to call himself a Spaniard, will have to matri- culate his name at the Spanish Consu- late which will be established in this city.
 1T believe that I have done all that I could have done for her Majesty's loyal subjects. It was duty to make war against the insurgents, who have never been grateful to Spain for her efforts in their behalf. I am convinced that there will be no further disputes between the Cubans and the Spaniards in the island for 1t Is my belief that as soon as the Cubans begin to govern here they will find out how useful are the Spaniards to them, and finally will concede to them the place they deserve in the government of the island. Your companion,
 RAMON BLANCO."

SPAIN CONSIDERING
 DISPOSITION OF TROOPS
Sagasta Thinks Those That Capitu- lated at Manila Should Go to
 the Vlscavas Islands.

MADRID. Aug. 26.-The Cabinet was in session again to-day. Senor Sagasta said the Government was principally occupied with the disposition of the troops that had capitulated at Manila. It would be better, he thought, to transport them to the Viscayas Islands than to bring them home, but the question must be decided by agreement with the American Gov ernment. It depended upon whether or not the troops were considered prisoners of war.
 The Spanish army officers who arriv- ed on the steamer Alicante, which reach ed Corunna on the 24th inst with the first of the Spanish repatriated soldiers were given a banquet by representatives of the Madrid press. The officers declare that both the American and Spanish na- tions adhered to the methods of civil Lzed warfare throughout the campaign. They concede the superiority of Ameri- can artillery The health of the troops which arrived on the Alicante is already greatly improved

 Home Country.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The Washington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: It is the expressed intention of Secretary Alger to have the body of every man killed in the war brought back to the United States. With this purpose in view he has given instructions to have each grave marked so there would be no doubt as to the Identification of the bodies
 This action was anticipated by Con gress, which just before adjournment ap- propriated $200 000 to defray the expenses Iations laid down for the purpose of quar- antine will be observed and the remains of soldiers will not therefore be i'm mediately removed.

 Twenty Boilers,
 possessing 5000 horse. power Near the boilers are twenty-one gas producers; for some of the furnaces are heated by gas, in- stead of coal. All the gas used is produced on the premises. It is a striking feature of the plant. Without the use of gas, 1t would perhaps be difficult to bring the init of the shaping of them into plates for boilers and other forms into which steel is nowadays put.
 The Steel Plant.
 In the new building, 125 feet long and 100 feet wide, are two stationary regener- ative basic open-hearth steel furnaces, each having capacity of 10000 pound per charge, both turning out about 100 tons of ingots every twenty-four hours These an- gots are bottom cast in groups. At pres- ent the initial ingots are used in the fin- ishing department. They are converted in the plate mill the frebed and bar mills into finished material, and some of them are converted in Mo- 23 furnace into sheet or tin bars for sheet or firebed mills or into billets for the guide mills.
 No. 1 steel furnace was started on July 22, and No. steel furnace on Oct. 25, and both have been in continuous operation. giving excellent results so far as physical and chemical requirements go. The finish ed material more than meets any specified demands, and boilermakers report that su- perior results are obtained from this steel

LITTLE TRAINS AND LONG COATS.
Something of the Very Newest Fancies of the
 Parsian Ladies.

From Paris Letter.
 There is not single gown sent out by fashionable Paris establishments at pres ent that does not have it's skirt made with 0 dip or train, excepting, of course, tailor gowns for travelling and shopping, and these invariably have the skirt clearing the ground.
 These short trains are made fuller than those of five years ago, for then the bell skirts were in vogue, and were made scant and skimpy. This year the black breadths sweep out full and generous and float off from the figure over slender reeds of feath- CT bone set in the lining, yet not large enough to appear as if anything was there, giving only an effect. The bottom of the train is cut rounded and curves away from the sides, which is also different from the style of five years ago, which demanded pointed train.
 Frequently the train Is made in overskirt form and worn over a petticoat, which shows for a foot or two in front. This petticoat is not trained, so that the skirt may be lifted freely from it when one is walking, after the fashion somewhat of court train on a small scale. In this case the feather bone reeds are set into the petticoat. and not the trained outer skirt, which floats freely. No stiffening is put in these new trained skirts, only the SUIT lining, which Is sufficient.
 With the trained skirt comes the three quarter length coat; this was inevitable, for long lines beget long lines and when small sleeves came in trains followed, and trains are killing the blouse and making room for the long-skrted coat, fitted to the figure to show all the lines strongly.
 It is directly in contrast with the blouse and Is in consequence a genuine novelty which everybody is making a scramble for in order to wear while yet it is new. It fastens down the front, has exceedingly small sleeves and a very high f1aring col lar about the ears. These new long coats are being made in velvet and satin, but they are also stunning when made in cloth to match the skirt forming complete costume According to the edict of the great men milliners, these cloth costumes with long coat and dipskrt will be all the rage in the spring, sometimes severely plain, sometimes beautifully braided or. again. trimmed with millners' folds or satin in the same color as the cloth, or black according to fancy

But he asks his wife whether the course he is determined to take might inure to the disadvantage of his sons. "Tel me what you think?' he says. "If anything I might write were likely to injure them should swallow my anger and keep silence. In this case I shall confine myself to finishing my book, Les IMseries. -;safterward, of course. the celebrated Les Miserables.'' "Who knows? This may be my only chance of finishing it.

I said Well, if decide to publish, I shall go to London We left on friendly terms. He offered me some shirts. As matter of fact, I need them. I am without clothes or body linen.

My wants are few and I can wait. Those who want money must be the prey of money lenders. They are lost. Look at Dumas. I am in a gar- ret with no furniture but table, two chairs and wretched bed.
