BLANCO'S ALLEGED REPORT.


Spanjards wouldn't Even Leave Our
Troops Any Clothes.
MADRID, June 26-The official report
of Capt. Gen. Blanco on the recent
fighting near Santiago de Cuba, says;
"Three hundred Americans attacked
the Spaniards near Siboney and Seville.
The Spaniards had three men killed
and three wounded. The Americans
then attacked Gen. Rubon's camp, but
were repulsed, the Spaniards pursuing
them and taking possession of their am
munition and clothes. The Americans
have bombarded Casilda."

Loans the State $4,000.

The board of control of the State
penitentiary has agreed to lend the
State s26, 1000 to be used in maintaining
the girls college at Columbus, the gov
ernor having applied for same and
agreed to the conditions laid down by
the Legislature. 1t will be remembered
that the last Legislature made an APP
preparation to this college upon certain
conditions which were obnoxious to
the governor, and for which reason he
vetoed the conditions and approved the
balance of the bill. The auditor de-
clined to issue his warrant for the
money on the ground that the bill as
signed by the governor was unconstitu-
tiOnal. The trustees then mandamused
the auditor to compel him to pay the
money. 1t was taken through all the
courts, the auditor winning at every
turn, and the Supreme Court declaring
the governor had far exceeded his
powers and that his action in vetoing
the conditions of the appropriation bill
was clearly unconstitutional. Seeing
that the college was likely to be killed
outright, the governor began to scuffle
around to borrow the cash. He de-
clined at first to agree to the conditions
imposed by the legislature, but the
board of control was inexora BILE, and
he finally consented to the conditions
and not to veto the bill. 1t was that or
an extra session of the legislature
something the governor did not want
at this particular time, and he sur
rendered. The board of control has the
money, $4,000 more than they have
use for, but it is in the hands of the
State treasurer, and it is possible his
bondsmen may protest against using
the money in this way--a way for
which there seems to be no authority
in law Another mandamus is possible.

"All religion has relation to the life, and
