If the term "butcher" is a synonym of Weyler then "faker" is undoubtedly tanta- mount to Blanco, for as concoctor of er- roneous dispatches the ,governor-general of Cuba certainly has no equal. Often the citizens of Madrid and other leading cities of Spain gave great parades in honor of "another victory over the Yankees" caused by dispatch from General Blanco's camp, when their own soldiers had been compelled to retreat with heavy losses
 General Blanco has been in charge of the island of Cuba for nearly a year and a half. He succeeded General Weyler whose recall was demanded by the United States on account of the inhuman measures to which he resorted in his fight with the

PRESIDENT TO
 TAKE VACATION Will Leave Washington for Son. erSet, Pa, tomorrow WIFE WILL ACCOMPANY HIM Has Promised to Visit The Heroes of Santiago at Camp Wikof and
 Will Possibly go There
 Next Week.
WIFE WILL ACCOMPANY HIM

Washington, August 25.--President McKin- ley announced this afternoon that he will leave Washington for Somerset, Pa, at g O clock next Saturday morning to visit his brother, Mir. Abner Mckinley. He will spend over Sunday there. and on the way will stop off at Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa, for about half an hour. Other plans are contemplated, which are likely to make his trip longer.
 This will be the first vacation President Mckinley has taken since the war began. It will be of very short duration, occupy ing less than a fortnight. He will leave here at a. m. Saturday on special train of Pullman cars. Mrs. Mckinley will be with him, and they will have a very small party of friends as guests. The president wishes to have as little display and pub licity of his movements as possible desir- ing a. quiet trip unhampered by ceremonies Accordingly, his plans as made up do not include a general review of the troops at Camp Meade
 The train enroute to Somerset will make a short stop at Middletown, where the pres ident has planned to stop about half an hour or just long enough to look over the camp. This is due to his personal inciina- tion to omit all ceremony He will next proceed direct to his brothers home to re- main over Sunday.
 Beyond that point his plans are not off1- cially settled. He has promised to make a visit to Camp Wikoff at Montauk Point, L. l., when the condition of the troops will permit them to march, and it is possible though not probable that he may go there next week. He has a special desire to see the heroes of Santiago and will endeavor to reach Montauk at as early a date as their physical condition warrants

PROHIBITION DUTIES
Consul Wildman asked to Have Cne
 Laws Revised.

London, Au6vst 26.-The Hong Kong cor respondent of the Daily Mail says
 'The retention of the prohibitive Spanish duties at Manila by the American authori- ties is causing concern among merchants here, who have asked United States Consul General Wildman to use his influence with General Merritt to secure a modification of them. American keresone oil sells here for $1.90 a case, while at Manila the duty alone is $2.05. Flour pays 10 cents sack.
 ''The object of the Spaniards in imposing prohibitive duties was to shut out foreign imports. If they are retained they will prevent the importation of American goods into Manila. Merchants here in shipping goods to Manila did so on the understand ing that the Manila tariff would be in ac- cord with the existing American customs laWS,n

but slight mention of the Indiana, stating that "the Iowa and Indiana having done some good work and not having the speed of the other ships, were directed by me, etc., etc."
 8. The result of these reports is that the captains of all the vessels of the line of battle except the Indiana have received personal mention in the official report be- fore the department, while the two smaller vessels have also had distinctive mention either from the commander-in-chief or the second in command.
 4 If the official record should be referred to in future 1t will appear from its general tone that the Indiana was less deserving than all of her consorts. Leaving out my personal interests in the matter 1t is right that should consider the officers and crew of the ship and I speak for them as well as for myself when I submit to you, Ad- miral, that the above combination of re- ports will place the ship in the opinion of the department and country, markedly be-

 2. No distribution of the fleet could com pletely provide against every variation of such sortie, nor do I consider that any commanding officer deserves either credit or blame because the ship under his com mand was faster or slower than others or carried heavier or lighter battery; but rather that the commanding officer was bameworthy when he failed to put his ship in the proper place for destroying the en- emy, just in proportion to the advantage which he possessed in speed, battery, or position over his neighbors.

Cubans. General Blanco's rule in the is- land has not been quite as successful as il was hoped that 1t should be, but it has cer- tainly been carried on in a more civilized manner than any other governor general that Spain has sent over. Previously to his command in Cuba General Blanco Was Tn command of the Philippines, and he was succeeded by Senor Polavieja, who, itnis rumored, will be the next premier of Spain
 Like many another loyal Spaniard General Banco has served his country in time of peace as well as war, and his rewafds for meritorious service were justly givenn Aside from warfare, General Blanco is perfect gentleman well versed on all ma5ersppf interest, international and national, and even his enemies are forced to admit that he is the possessor of exceptional qualities

I saw the Brooklyn quite plainly.
 G. An examination of these reports with reference to the Indiana will. believe, con- vince your, sir, that they do produce the effect of putting the Indiana below all the other vessels of the squadron. If it be your opinion, sir, that this Is the case and that all the vessels from the Brooklyn to the Viven rendered services as much more val uable than the Indiana as the published report of the commander-in-chief and the second in command taken together would indicate then I must accept it for myseif and the ship. In the contrary. that be not your opinion, urge respectfully that such steps be taken to remedy this injustice as may seem wise to you. Very respectfully,

 Guantanamo Bay, August $, lS9S.
 Sir:L am greatly obliged that you nave called my attention to what appears to have been an injustice to your ship, othcers and. crew, for the part which they took Tn the action of July 3, and also for the very proper manner in which you have presented it. I think, however. that you will agree with me that in submitting such report to the secretary of the navy, where so many officers are vitally interested, and justly proud of their ships, it is no easy task to do so without apparently bestowing praise unjusty. It requires very careful consideration of the report from every point of view to avoid misunderstanding.
 g. The position of the ships of the squad ron must be carefully considered to fully appreciate what it was possible for each vessel to accomplish under the circum- stances in which she was placed. Those that were to the westward of the escaping enemy were certainly better placed for stopping the enemy, and so better placed for delivering their fire than the vessels to the eastward, which was the blockading
