Blanco Returns to Spain.

Blanco, the last Spanish captain-gen-
eral to rule Cuba, has returned to his
native Spain. There was no demon
stration at his departure from Havana;
in fact only those visited him to say
adieu whose military duty compelled
them TO do so and instead of the COM
forting words of friends only bitter
vituperation is now heard from his
erstwhile associates who openly de-
nounce him as being responsible for
the disasters which came to Spain in
the latter days of her attempt to rule
the island. He is openly accused OF
weakness and lack of character. he
is made responsible for the reverses OF
the campaign and the final result OF
the war. as the corrupt instrument OF
the corrupt and unprincipled few who
rule Spain.

The attempt to effect a coalition be-
tween the states of Nicaragua, Hon
duras and Salvador, TO be conducted
under q common administration and
known as the United States Of Central
America, has failed completely. The
federal organizers have formally de-
clared the union dissolved, the three
states resuming respectively absolute
sovereignty. The collapse is due TO
the failure of the troops at Honduras,
acting in behalf of the federal organ
izers, to suppress the outbreak In SAL
vador against the proposed federation
and to force Salvador into the union.

After taking the full time limit al

posed by the American commissioners.
The reply of the Spaniards was so brief
that less than 10 minutes were con-
sumed in rendering it into English for
the Americans.
that being authorized by their govern
ment to reply that the American prop.
ositions are inadmissible, and are not
a proper compromise on legal princi-
Piles, on the Spanish part all diplo-
matte resources are exhausted and the
Spanish commission is now asked to
accept or reject the propositions.
Spain, inspired by reasons of patriot.
ism and humanity, and to avoid the
horrors of war, resigns herself to the
power of the victor. She accepts the
conditions offered in order to conclude
a treaty Of peace.
The secretaries were then empowered
to prepare the treaty articles embody-
ing the cession of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines and the payment by
the United States of S20,o0o,OOO The
American demands included the acqui-
sition of the whole of the Philippine

Evacuation Commissioner Butler Gives
Some Important Informssion.
Gen. Butler, member Of the Cuban
evacuation commission, has arrived at
Washington, direct from Havana, in
response to telegraphic summons
from President Mckinley. He made
an extended report of negotiations for
the evacuation of Cuba and gave Il as
his opinion that all the Spanish troops
will have departed 10 days before the
date fixed in the agreement-Jan. l.
Gen. Butler also gave to the Presi-
dent much information as to the gen.
eral situation in Cuba. He Is OF the
opinion that the military government
of the island must be continued for
some time, but that 1t should only
be as vigorous as may be necessary 10
preserve order. He thinks the Cubans
are ambitious for self-government and
anxious to avoid friction with the
American authorities. IL military con-
troll is exercised with discretion he be-
lieves there will be little trouble.
