He Says That Foreign Powers Forced
Spain to Sue for Peace.

Washington, August s News has lust
reached Washington of recent proolama.
ton of amnesty, in which Gen. Blanca
has made known to- the Spanish people
of Cuba that Spain had, through the in
tervention of foreign powers, been forced
to the disgraceful issue of suing for peace,
and that there would be no more war and
no further use for soldiers. He offered q
pardon to all Cuban political prisoners
and over Is % were released in Havana. In
explanation of Spain's defeat in his
proclamation, Blanco informs his
credulous readers that Spain, having
suffered SO much in the present war.
could not resist the interference of the
foreign powers and go to war with ali
countries at once, so she was. compelled To
accede to their dictation and sue for
peace. Havana, he says, will be given
over to Americans and Cubans. and the
Spaniards will be forced to evacuate He

dents who wish to return to Spain or IN

transportation will be given them nv
their mother country to their desti nation

are from midnight to a. m. He went
on duty as uusual last night, and he ex-
poets to stay.
Though he does not say SO IN plain
English, the Inference to be drawn from
his talk is that he will resign his candi-
dacy on the legislative ticket. The rail
road company's rules rules prohibit its
employees from serving In the Legislature,
and his railroad job is worth too much
to sacrifice for the sake of indulging a
spite against political opponents, or even
for the sake of serving a term as one
of the states law makers.
