BLANCO'S POPULARITY.
No Attempt Has Been Made on His Life-He
Explains Why He Will Not Ex-
change Hobson

Havana, June 23.--There is absolutely
no foundation for the report published
in the United States Of an attempt to
essassinate Captain General Blanco by
a member of the volunteers whose
brother 1t was alleged had been shot
for completely in plot against the
government. General Blanco enjoys
the esteem of all classes in Havana, in
cluding the volunteers, and is regard
ed with the utmost confidence as the
representative of Spanish sovereignty.
That he has no fear of assassination is
shown by the fact that he often rides
out without escort.
Complete tranquility reigns in Ha-
vana. The greatest confidence IS felt
that the Spanish forces will success
fully cope with the American soldiers.
There is great enthusiasm among the
troops and volunteers, who are all
anxious to fight against the invaders.
Captain General Blanco denies that
he has decided that there shall be no
exchange of prisoners with the United
States. At the same time the captain
general says that he cannot allow the
exchange of Lieutenant Hobson and
other members of the party who sailed
the Merrimac into the mouth of the
harbor at Santiago de Cuba for the
reason that the lieutenant and his
companions had opportunities for see
ing the harbor and its defenses. The
most common prudence, the captain
general says, would forbid that these
men be now given their liberty, as pro-
posed by the United States
Captain General Blanco added that
he had not forbidden the approach of
vessels bearing flags Of truce, but had
only ordered that no vessel be permit
ted to approach within six miles of the
shore, so that 1t be made impossible
for officers of the United States to
make drawings of or inspect fortresses.

HAVANA CIGARS SCARCE.

The Cuban Article Ii Practically
Out of the Market.
New York. June 1.-Havana and all 9TH
er Cuban-made cigars are entirely out OF
Fkhe open market as result of the war.
There are some Cuban-made cigars left
in the city in the hands of dealers, but
they can be obtained as rule only by
favor. or, II by money, only at prices that
put them out OF the legitimate domain
of trade. -
The greater part of the cigars which
have been brought to this city from Cu-
ba have been handled by two big whole.
sale grocery firms. who supply the trade
of the country. Representatives of both
of these yesterday admitted that they
had none for sale. save In very limited
quantities, and the large retailers told
the same story.
Almost all of the country's present stock
of Havana cigars is already In the con-
sumers hands. All shipments stopped
three weeks ago - -
Fine domestic cigars made af Havana
tobacco win have to take the place Of thc
imported article, from the present OUT
look. but this Is not as gloomy as 1t
might be, as It is estimated that there Ia
enough Havana tobacco In this country
to supply the demand for year. When
people find that they. can't get the i'm
ported goods they win nse the domestic
product, and that will make a very large
demand for this -nlass Of goods.

The Bo.to. He..ia..

There is a newspaper called the Bos-
ton Herald which Is beginning to see
with an alleged prophetic eye the dihi-
Guilty of obtaining troops for this war.
1t has persisted all along In declaring
that the country did not know what 1t
was running its head against, and has
practically indorsed the Harvard pro-
fessor's opinion that Americans are
trifiing. Now it is beginning to moral
ize. apropos Of the last call for volun-
teers. on the probability of scarcity Of
troops later on 1t points out with
boding finger that enthusiasm of the
patriotic sort is stronger when first
kindled than after the flame has burned
for some time, the idea being that the
only really enthusiastic patriotism is
due to ignorance.
Ever since the word war was first
mentioned in connection with Cuban
affairs. the Boston Herald, the New
York Evening Post. and two or three
other papers have been engaged In q
sort of missionary information society
to describe the horrors of war. They.
persisted in saying that the foremost
Of the people in favor OF war were men
who had had no experience of its hor-s
rors, and when 1t was proved by actual
statistics that there were more veteran
fighters In Congress who belonged to
the lingo party than. there were old
soldiers in the peace party 1t did not
make any difference; they kept ON with
the same argument. They were per-
fectiy sure that young men would not

the horrors OF war as .bhe young re-.

SRu Juan,

There would be a good deal more en-
thusiasm over the news from Santiago
| if the country could be quite sure that
it meant serious business and not a fias-
CO like SIMPSONS friendly lombard
| ment OF San Juan. Although the ad-
miraI does not so regard 1t. We are
sorry that We must unwillingiy Join
with leading naval experts in Europe.
who are Inclined to regard the action
as a definite American repulse.
1t may be said for Acting Rear Ad-
miral Sampson that he did not really
mean to engage in a pitched battle with
the Porto Rican forts. 1t has been ex-
planned, whether by his authority or
not We cannot say. that the real COM
mander of the fleet, the Board of STRAIT
egy, had ordered him to test the
strength of the enemy's batteries. +"
Now, II that be true, the lombard
ment" of San Juan happened in exactly
the way that one would predicate upon
the careful and scientific Office methods
for which Simpsons almost exclusive
bureau career have made him famous.
If he had been ordered to go in and
whale perdition out of the forts and
Spaniards at San Juan, the chances
are that We might have had another
Dewey on our hands to promote, endow
with a sword of honor, and shout our
selves hoarse over. The difficulty ap-
pears to be that it was the academic
and not the belligerent side of Captain
SIMPSONS character that the Board of
Strategy stirred up. And that was
side that the Board itself has ever
turned up to public admiration.
Being Instructed to conduct tech
nical and abstruse investigation, the
commander-in-chief of the fleet did not
trouble himself about any collateral
consideration He sailed in and test
ed the strength of the enemy's batter
les" in exactly the calm drawing-board
and machine shop spirit that he would
have shown when testing armor and
projectiles at Indian Head. He invest
ed a large amount of ammunition in
the experiment. and some Of it does
not appear to have been good. since il
is said that five hundred unexploded
shells have been picked up in and
around the city and Notifications.
Having satisfied himself that the
strength of the enemy's batteries" was
susceptible of expression by one of the
comparative pictorial dimensions used
by war boards, and the late census
taker, Porter. the admiral withdrew
without infiicting any serious damage
beyond dismounting a few guns. dis
placing some masonry and killing
limited number of non-combatants in
the city of San Juan.
We are sorry to say that this is re-
garded abroad as a reverse to our
arms. OF course 1t was not. 1t was
just an Indian Head test of battery
power for bureau quidnuncs to pother
over at their five O'Clock tea. May the
spirit of his Uncle Samuel imbue Win
field Scott Schley. that he may conduct
his bombardment less upon the lines
of bureaucratic abstraction and more
after the manner OF Admiral Dewey in
the bay Of Manila.
