GENERAL BLANCo CONFIDENT.
Thinks He Can Repe1 an American
Army of Invasion.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-A dispatch to the
World from Madrid, Spain, says: General
Blanco believes that he can easily face any
landing in Cuba by Americans, as his forces
are ready to concentrate and fall upon the
invaders in the four western provinces. The
greater part of the troops on the island
are being concentrated near the coast wher-
ever it is thought that an attempt to land
might be made. The Spanish forces watch
the coast so vigilantly now that the Cuban
insurgents are said to be prevented from
receiving supplies
General Blanco reports that he has pro-
visions enough to last five months having
ordered the military authorities to be very
sparing with ammunition, only using it when
it is Indispensable to do So He has devoted
much time to improving defenses of Havana
planting submarine mines and strengthen
ing the Notifications according to plans de-
vised in Weyler's time by a special commits
sion of artillery engineer officers sent out
purposely with heavy guns from Germany
and Spain.
General Blanco and the home government
are occupied now with the question of send
ing home the invalid soldiers. The sick and
the wounded at this season are filling the
hospitals and Gripping the colonies re-
sources. The Spanish War Department pro-
fessedly is satisfied with the way in which
General Blanco is conducting the campaign.
He was instructed to keep up the spirits of
the autonomiStS by putting the local gov
eminent in working order. just as if there
were no war, but at the same time to play
upon the loyalty of the old Spanish party
and the volunteers, because their wealth
and fighting qualities will be very useful.
He has been directed also to try TO impress
ali the natives of Cuba with the belief that
America is aiming at conquest and annex
alton, while Spain would carry home rule
to the extent of actual independence if the
Cubans would resist the American inva-
sion.

REED AND ANNEXATION.
The Speakers Differences with Re-
pubIicans on Hawaiian Question.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The conflicting
reports to the attitude of Speaker Reed
upon present consideration of the Hawaiian
resolutions in the House and the persistent
rumors of existing differences between the
speaker and Republican leaders in the
House prompted the following statement of
the speakers position. 1t was furnished by
one who reviewed the entire situation with
him yesterday: 1.-THE question is not of
Hawaiian annexation at all. Probably a
majority of the Republicans of the House
are for it if obliged to vote so, but many
prefer not to have the question come up
because it will lead to delay, keeping Con-
gress here all summer and prevent them
looking after their districts and at the same
time not annex Hawaii If the annexation
speedy action in the revenue bill it seems
bad politics to bring it up solely to cause
trouble. If the Senate passes it under Mr.
Lodges lead 1t will have free way in the
House. In word, the question is not of
anneXa ton, but of sound party politics. All
the talk about qUarrels between Mr.. Ding
ley and Mr.. Hit and the speaker is the re-
suit OF oVerZeal of those Interested The
main thing is for Congress to pass the
revenue bill, make the appropriations, avoid
a long session, free Washington from local
politics and leave the President and his adj
visers time to prosecute the war to a sue
ceSSful conclusion AnneXationS will then
take care of themselves -

SPANS Republican Leader Fears
SPANS Isolation.


MADRID. May 2S.--It was officially an
nounced that the minister for the colonies
Senior Giron, proposes to offer premiums for
vessels carrying provisions to Cuba and
Porto Rico.
