Gen. Pando's suden return on Tuesda,
was due to the failure of his trip through
the east, where he met with a cold recep
ton at the hands of both Spaniards an
Cubans. AS already cabled, he imme
diately assembled the editors of all tn
daily papers except La Lucha and EN-
phatically prohibited direct or indirec
attacks upon autonomy as well as ar
ticles of a laudatory character Whicl
were in his opinion sarcastic. He ha'
special reference to a leading article il

These strenuous efforts to choke tn
press prove the desperate condition o

sol, and the editor filled in the blanl
space with advertisements.
