HOW THEY HATE BLANCO!
Spaniards in Cuba Charge Him With About All
the Spanish Reverses.

Havana, via Key West. Fla. Nov 60
The circumstances of Marshal Blanco 3
departure have furnished occasion tor
much gossip and bitter vituperation. The
officially repeated statement that he was
not popular among Spaniards in Cuba Sc
cures confirmation from the fact that
none of his fellow countrymen went near
him to say farewell.
Now that he has gone, tongues are
loosened. He is openly accused of weak
ness and lack of character. He is made
responsible for the reVerseS Of Che CAM
paign and the final result of the war
1t is pointed out that though he had
1900 men at his disposal, he withheld
achievements from Santiago and that,
while deceiving people by announcements
that Gen. Pando had left for the eastern
provinces at the head of a powerful army,
no such movement was even contem-
plated.
able for the destruction OF CerVera fleet,
laying at his door a command that Ad-
miral Cervera should make dash out of
Santiago harbor.
Those who pretend to know claim that
Cervera answered that the loss OF the
feet was inevitable and asked authority
to land all his guns, to mount them on
abandon the vessels, to make a brilliant
and possibly victorious resistance by lana
and as a last resort, if the Americans
tool, the city, to blow up the vessels,
thus sparing the lives of the officers and
crews. who, if the squadron We're sent
out would go to certain sacrifice.
Blanco, it is asserted, acting on his own
authority, answered curtly by reiterating
his order to make a sally. His country
men here now wish to make him crimi-
nallv responsible for the order that en-
tailed this tremendous loss of life.

THE PROTOCOL OF 1877.

Washington. Nov. 30.-The protocol
Of 1877, which the Spanish government
has notified her commissioners not TO
revive, is the celebrated Gushing pro-
tocol, which has been a source of much
correspondence between the two gov
ernments and was revoked by this gov
eminent number of times prior to
the outbreak of hostilities.
The protocol was framed with spec
ial reference to the outbreaks in Cuba
against Spain and now that she has
lost nearly all of her colonies and
especially those near our soil. has not
its former Importance to the United
States. Its aim was to guarantee our
citizens protection against summary
and secret legal proceedings.
It's first clause, which is fairly de-
scriptive of the whole protocol pro-
vided that no citizen of the United
States residing in Spain or her island
possessions charged with treason, con-
spiracy against the government or any
other crime. shall be subject to trial by
any exceptional tribunal unless cap
tured with arms in hand but instead
shall be tried exclusively by the ordi-
nary legal jurisdiction.

THE HON. HaNNls TAYLOR
Goes on Record With Seating Criticism Of
Our Peace Commission.

New York, Nov 30.--,rhe Hon. Hannis
Taylor. late American minister to spain.
publishes in the December number of the
North American Review scathing crit
csm of the work of the American peace
commission. Mr. Taylor contends that IN
the negotiations with Spain respecting
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, the
members of the commission should have
been guided by the precedent established
by the country in it's dealings with Mex
leo after the victorious issue Of the Mex
lean war.
Then, he says, we refused, as Mexico
lay helpless at our feet, to take from her
a single square mile. Our commissioners
were instructed to offer her 15,O00O0O III
cash and the assumption upon our part
of more than $3o00,009 due from her 10
American citizens, as compensation for
the area out of which has been carved
California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and
New Mexico.
And thus" says Mr.. Taylor, was es-
tablished new principle of national NOR
ality which stands alone, perhaps in the
annals of nations
Mr.. Taylor contends that we owe to
Spain all the consideration and justice
that can be due to the weak from the
strong, especially as Spain has been an
old and good friend.
ut is true he says. that Spain has
been reduced through the inherent vices
and weakness of her colonial system, but
the present generation of Spaniards are
not responsible for that which came to
them through inheritance. The Spanish
nation, as whole, is generous, brave and
sympathetic"
Mr.. Taylor says that the Senate should
be careful to see that no treaty of peace
shall be concluded that may become a
stumbling block in the near future.

PEACE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
what Spain Is willing to Pay to Sc
cure 1t.

cure X
ST. Paul, July 16.-The Pioneer Press
in a special from Washington says:
Independence for Cuba.
The transfer of Puerto Rico to the
Tinted States in exchange for the
Philippines.
A coaling station in the latter islands
for the United States.
Spain is willing to make these con-
cessions to obtain peace, according to
dispatch received by President Mckin-
lev from a Semi-official sources Ad-
ministration officials with whom |
talked after they had learned of the
contents of the dispatch, Informed me
that an official proposition embracing
these terms would be accepted by the
United States. Thus, if President Nc
Kinley's informant is correct, peace in
the near future is an absolute GER
tainty. His dispatch stated that the
ministry at meeting to-day had de-
finitely determined to abandon the
struggle and had decided to sue for
peace on the terms set forth.
In some circles / find disposition to
accept the information as entirely
trustworthy, while in others there is
some doubt. There seems to be gen
eral impression among administration
officials, however, that the prospect of
the commencement of negotiations for
the cessation of war is extremely
bright. This impression is primarily
based upon the action of Gen. oral, aft
er consultation with Madrid, in sur
rendering the city of Santiago lie Cuba
ana the troops under his command.
Secondarily, it is based upon the re-
ports received from Madrid showing
that the people are becoming convinced
of the uselessness of continuing the
struggle, and that pressure is being
eXerted in the interest of pace by the
Vatican and by at least one European
power.
1t can't be stated on authority that
no representation has yet been made
to this government, either from its
agents abroad or from foreign rewe-
sentatives in Washington, respecting
it's attitude upon the question or the
terms which it will be willing to ac-
cept. There is no doubt of the inten-
ton of the president to push the cam
paign against Puerto Rico and to dis
patch the Eastern squadron to operate
against Spain, provided the Madrid
government should not be satisfied
with the mauling it has been given
Mr.. Mckinley would. however, much
prefer that the war should end, and is
therefore willing to be as lenient with
the Spanish government as possible.

Berlin, July is. = The Cologne lei
tung denounces the story of the Ger
man warship Irene interfering at SUI
big bay, Philippines, as a fabrication.
The Lokal Anzieger says the Ameri-
cans are unreasonably excited about
the Irene incident, adding:
Even if it occurred as Admiral
Dewey says, the Irene did not inter-
fere, but retired upon the arrival Of
the Americans. Therefore, every
courtesy was shown that the Ameri-
cans demand of neutral country.
But if the Irene did hinder AguinaldOs
landing it is no business Of Dewey's.
II the American admiral sees fit to
make common cause with insurgent
chiefs it is none of our affair. Ger
many still preserves her Neutrality to-
ward Spain, and does not recognize,
nor intend to recognize, Aguinaldo and
his horde as belligerents. The matter
is SO plain that we do not believe any
diplomatic step will be taken. and do
not doubt for a moment that the
American officials will admit the cor
rectnesS of the German proceedings"
The foregoing is believed to be in
spired.
