There il much dissatisfaction expressed
among the officers of the War Depart
ment oveT the entirely Spanish and most
troublesome policy Of Gen. Blanco In Ha-
vana in melting the Inhabitants OF the
city to hatred for America and opposition
to the occupation of the American army.
The American policy In Santiago. Porto
Rico and, SO far as formulated, In the
Philippines. has been in every way to con-
ciliate the territories and lead them to
accept occupation by the new owner with
out disagreeable occurrences. Heh.
Blanco does not lend any encouragement
to this policy In Havana.
His conduct in the case Of the schooner
Ellen N. Acsms, which arrived In the
harbor yesterday with cargo Of pota-
toes and onions. Is a very marked example
of his inclination. The Spaniards evident
ly have been taught very carefully that
the Americans are an enemy. They hoot-
ed at the Adams and undoubtedly would
have shown violence to her crew IL II had
gone on shore.
The official attitude of Gen. Blanco
government in the matter was even
more marked. The American schooner
was treated as an irterloper without
rights and liable to any kind OF treat
ment they might see Mt to give her. 1t
is said in the War Department that this
attitude of Gen. Blanco was unquestion-
ably aired extensively before the popu-
lation with the Intention of creating the
false idea that Spain is still In control
and the Yankee pigs without any
| rights.
The proclamations issued by Gen BlaA-
CO have all been Of such tenor as to
| foster hatred Of America among the Ha-
vana people. They do not even acknowl-
edge that Spain has lost Cuba and that
now. according TO the protocol signed by
Spain. the island Is supposed to be Ameri-
| can territory. ...
An oficer who will almost surely be Of
the army Of occupation for Cuba said to
a Times reporter today: THE excessive
insolence Of Blanco's policy is most ag-
| grayating and at the same time 1t II
dangerous.
The protocol demands the immediate
evacuation of Cuba by Spain. 1t was the
first intention OF the Administration not
to discuss peace until BlancO and MS
entire army had gotten out of the island.
| There was the concession In the later
| negctia tions that Spain be given a GER
| tain reasonable time to evacuate the ISL
and. the only stipulation being that she
act as speedily as possible and that she
concede the American occupation en-
tirely in spirit.
1.-The attitude of Blanco is as far from
this as possible Nothing In all his OFF,
cial or private utterances. as far as they
have become known Is otherwise than
that of Spanish captain general In COM
n.and Of a Spanish colony on most un-
friendly terms with America.
1t is understood that the War DEPART
ment is in favor of the immediate re-
moyal of Blanco, even before the military
commission has met at Havana.

Captain Murrhy's Sad Experience
ON an Ocean steamer.

New York, Aug. 1s.-'The convenience
of giants is not considered by those who
lay out the cabin berths on the ocean

when he landed from the Cunarder Ser
via yesterday.
Murphy is nearly eight feet tall and
until recently has been on exhibition with
Barnum & Bailey's show in England. The
captain looked tired and explained by
saying. My berth was scarcely six feet
long and TO get wink of sleep l had to
double up like a Gasp knife. That is not
a pleasant way to travel 1 could not

A Veteran Appointed.

William c. Howard, an old soldier, was appointed yesterday to assist P. T. M. Waite in indexing the Chinese certificates on file In the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue. There are 40 900 of the certificates, issued under the act of Con- gress requiring all Chinese laborers then within the limits of the United States to register themselves and to append their photographs. Chinese may have dupli- cate. making proof of loss, and these du- plicates are made up from the originals on file. in the revenue office, the holder being required to find the original at his own expense, the search for the same be- ing long and tedious, owing to the fact that no index has been provided. The absence of an index has been a fruitful source of scandal, for persons-customs brokers and others-favorites of the Col lector, have enjoyed monopoly of this work and have charged their Chinese clients all the way from s to $20. The indexers have been allowed three months to complete the work, but this time is believed to be much too short
