Advises Spaniards in Cuba to Submit to
American Rule.
Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.

Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
Washington, u. c., August 3d.
The last and probably most interes-
ting proclamation of Ramon Blanco
as Governor General OF Cuba has
been published in the Diario dc Ia
Marina of August II. 1t is addressed
to the Spanish people Of Cuba, aud
comes as the last counsel of retiring
officer. 1t is as follows:
My Dear Countrvnen: We are
vanquishcd, but We have fo.g ght and
fulfilled our obligation tn defend our
obligation To- defend our ever giori-
Gus flag, which this time has not
been victorious.
We have been vanquishcd because
we are Spaniard~, but there is Ii"
human power which can force us ="
resign our glorious nationality, nor
that can force us TO blot out or
weaken our allegiance TO the religion
of our country, always vrncrnttl by
us, and whose strength has been
more strongly imprc ,sed upon us in
proportion to our disasters.
We have been vanquishcd, and
without consideration OF our birth
place, will be tO-mOrrnw as strangers
in this country, and as emigrants to
to this portion of the earth, which
until to-day aud probably a few weeks
more, is part of our Spanish father
land.
AS strangers and as the vauquish-
ed, counsel you, the people of Cuba,
whose hearts are Spanish, and who
deeply feel the disgrace of their
country, not TO dispute any of the
benefits which the triumph gives to
The victors. 1t is our obi igation now
to he quiet; not to take any part in
the different manifestations of a local
political nature, and even to decline
participation in such affairs, even il
the right OF franchise be offered us.
But you have one duty which
should bc n duty of love; that is to
undertake the task of reconstruction
of all your Interests, aud it is your
duty also to ask for, even appear, if
it become necessary, from your pO.
sition rs the vanquished, to the vic
torious, for a guarantee for your
pei sonal safety and the protection Of
your proper interests.
II you d" us | counsel you the u
nitcd States will fake care of your
lives and your interests My mis-.
sion here will soon be finished, as
will the sovereignty Of Spain, aud
any one who feels that with honor
to himself he may continue to call
himself d Spaniard, will have to MA
circulate his name at the Spanish
Consulate, which will DC established
in this city. l believe that l have
done all that could have done FOR
her Majest,'s loyal subjects. 1t was
my duty to MAKE war against the in
surgents, who have never been CRATE
full to Spain tor her efforts in their
behalf. / am convinced that there
will be no further disputes between
the Cu5ans and Spaniards on this
island, for 1t is my belief that MS soon
as the Cubans commence to govern
here, they will find out how useful
are the Spaniards to them, aud will
finally cOncede to them the place
they deserve In the government of
the islands. Your comratriot.

Michael McNulty, a young man re.

given a hearing last evening before
Alderman John on double charge Of
assault and battery and highway rob-
berry. He was held in his own recognize
Rnce until Monday evening. The pros
ccutor in the case, Michael Siechuck.
must be found meanwhile.
The charges were the result Of an
alleged trouble which occurred between
the two men one night during last
January on or about the l4th. The
story told by Siechuck was a pitiful
one if, as he alleged at the time, it
was true. 1t was in substance as fol-
lows: After several long days of hard
labor in the mines he had saved 500.
II was labor of love, for he intended
using the money to bring the sweet
heart Cf his youth from far off Poland
to this land of plenty and liberty, and
make her his wife. Carefully wrap
ping his wealth in a piece of cloth he
went over to the central city one idle
day and sought a steamship agency.
He found one, and to his sorrow he
also found that he was shy Just q lit
tie and the ticket could not be gotten

Nothing daunted he returned and
was happy for it would be pay day
soon, and then he would have enough.
il must have been that his great hap
pinesc got the better of his caution, for
on his return he gave way to a de-
sire to take Just one drink. 1t was
an evil moment for him as he entered

1t required the taking out of his roll
to do it. Shortly afterward he left the
place and had proceeded but a few
steps when a young man overlook, ac-
costed him and forcibly removed his
wealth from his pocket, striking him in
the face as the robbery was being COM
miitcd.
He thought he recognized in the flee
ing form neighbor, and the next day
he had a warrant sworn out. The
warrant was served on McNulty yester-
day, he having to return to answer a
charge standing against him in court.
