i HAVANA, Feb. 2.-General Blanco Is | on his way back to Havana. He left Santiago de Cuba on a special steamer yesterday. His mission in Oriente has been, it Is said, fruitless so far as checking the rebellion is concerned.
 When General Blanco started out on his trip to Oriente much was expected from him. He was to make personal attempt to secure the surrender Of several important rebel chiefs. It was said by palace officials that General Blanco had cause to feel confident or securing the surrender of General Rabi and nossibly of General Calixto Garcia This was not accomplished, and reports cav that the rebel, forces under General Garcia inflicted a severe blow on the Spanish under General Linares and General Luque, killing several officers, including a son of General Luque. Of fcial reports say that eighty-five were killed or wounded.
 Failing in securing the surrender, Standards here expected General Blan- co to take the field and conduct viz orous campaign against the reoeis. lie publicly announced that such was his intention, but for some reason his plans miscarried and now he is com ing home without having struck de- cisive blow.
 The volunteers are making threats again and the authorities. Tn order to be fully prepared. have deemed 1t nec- essary to take precautions against demonstration. Guards have been placed about the public buildings and the residences of members of the au- tonomist Cabinet and American con- sulate About the cigar factory of the Babel Company, which supports au- tonomy, is gathered 200 cavalry.
 The new government is worried over the threatened resignation of several members of the autonomist Cabinet.
 The official statements which will be published are to the effect that the req son General Blanco was not successful in securing General Rabi's surrender was that General Rabi had been ar rested by General Garcia and stripped of his rank because it was feared he would surrender. General Rabi's brother. it is reported has been shot by order of General Garcia for the same reason.
 One of the most important engage ments of the present campaign in Ori- ente was fought on January 21, near Caiman between the forces under Gen. eral Luque and the rebels under Gen. era1 Garcia The Spanish. 1t is re- ported, had 150 killed and a large num- Der wounded. From accounts received the fight was Q verttable slaughter, the

of October. Here they met Tanner and Call, who were added to their number. Tanner represented himself as prac- tical miner and prospector and an all- round mountaineer and plainsman. He was short $70 of the required $250, but the amount was made up by the other members of the party. In addition to a contribution of $1O Call presented Tanner with 44-caliber Colts re- volver, which was afterward used in the murder of the donor and Lee.
 The party set sail from Seattle for Orca and reached there without any particular incident. After few days spent there they finally decided to go by the Valdez Glacier, which was rep- resented by the employees of the Pa cific Steam Whaling Company to be the only way by which they might hope to reach the upper waters of the Copper River. This company has located two townsites on Port Valdez in expecta-, tion of a spring rush into this district, which it is booming and which 1t is believed may cause many a poor miner to curse his fate should he be unfortu-. nate enough to come to the country under its direction. Odiak, via Orca and Algauk, Is the only practicable route, as many have already learned:
 After the goods of the party had been unloaded it was seen that there was only a sufficient quantity to give each: man of the party three months sup ply instead of the six months' supply they had paid for. Hogue had been in constant company with Haines from the very inception of the party's or ganization, and he with Haines was held to be responsible for. this. condi- ton of affairs. This incident was the beginning of all the trouble which fol- lowed after reaching Valdez. Tanner. took it harder than the balance of the party and before. leaving Orca he. en--: deavored to fierce Haines and Hogue to give an itemized account of their ex- penditures, but without success. ::.
 At Orca and after arriving at Valdez, 1t is said Tanner made himself: par ticularly offensive to the rest of the party by reason of his swaggering airs and dictatorial policy. He did not, however. shirk his part of the work. At Valdez there was six feet of snow on the level so it was decided to build a cabin. The roof was covered with clay, which was procured two miles distant. While hauling it on sleds several serious controversies occurred, with the result that the feeling was embittered against Tanner. That night the trouble eliminated in the death of three men.
 c. G. Hubbard, who was on the scene of the murders the day following. sent the following particulars to The Call: =.
 That night after supper Tanner. went out from the cabin to an adjoin- ing tent, where he had been sleeping. During his absence Call. Lee and Haines discussed his unruly disposf- tion and suggested that the best way: to keep peace in the party was to give Tanner his share of the supplies and :: let him go on his own resources. : While this talk was going on the sub-i ject of it quietly returned. and: after

He reached Holguin on January 27 and on the same evening General Linares, who had been sent to his assistance. was chased into the town by another rebel force. The rebels employed their light field guns with great effect.
 Reports received from the ca,to River state that the troops there are in deplorable condition. General Pando Is lending every energy in his attempt to make the river navigable. so as to send supplies.

LONDON. Feb. S-The Times Talien Wan announcement has created much surprise and excitement among poli- ticians, and was eagerly discussed at the clubs. The Liberals vigorously de- nounced the reported backdown of the British Government, while the Con servatfve members of the House; of Commons did not conceal their bitter disappointment. Many declined to credit the. report until 1t should be of- fcially confirmed. and a prominent Conservative offered a Liberal oppo- nent to pay substantial sum to a public. charity if the reported back down should be confirmed. The Liber- als declare it would be humiliating surrender to Russia and a severe blow to British interests and prestige.
 The members of the fate Cabinet are already communicating with each other with the view of using the mat : ter as point of attack upon the Gov ernment during the debate upon the Queens speech upon the reassembling of Parliament,
 @s.A A wave of indignation has swept over the press throughout the country at Lord Salisbury's alleged backdown at Talien Wan. Conservatives. no less than Liberals bewaiI the supposed re treat from an unassailable position on the ground that Great Britain. sup ~ ported. by the United States and Japan, might have safely def1ed Russia. It is angry with the Times for revealing thes position.
 The. Standard this morning, in the course of an editorial expressing its regret. assumes that since there Is the Times version of the situation Is correct" It thinks this will be pain fully felt in the course of the pending bye-elections. especially as the story suggests suspicious of larger and wider surrender"
 E The editorial concludes by advising the Government to let the country know as speedily as possible exactly where 1t stands.
 The afternoon papers yesterday com. , mented in the most severe terms upon credit the report.
 ne GJJODe Sd1Q. NO W0nOer the opponents of the ministry regard 1t as national humiliation when its support CTS are unable to find reasonable ex- cuse for it The public was led to be- lieve that Sir Michael Hicks Beach and other Cabinet Ministers meant what they said, so the Ministers have only themselves to thank if they lose pres tige at home and abroad through the withdrawal of the Talien Wan demand. England. with her strength and enor- nous resources. has the game in her own hands if the Ministers will Cnly play it with the necessary spirit
 An official statemept on the subject. just issued. is as follows: "No com munication can at present be published concerning the Times Talien Wan re- port of the negotiations as whole. The negotiations thus far are abso- lutely confidential Many telegrams from China contain statements not merely going far beyond the Govern ment's information, but in some in stances are quite at variance with known facts.''
 The Picking correspondent of the Times telegraphing says: Colonel Wor- onoeff. the Russian military adviser to China. has commenced his duties and the German military instructors have been notified of the non-renewal Of their contracts.

Doc" Tanners PuniSh= ment at the Hands
 of Miners.
Tried, Convicted and Executed at Copper River Camp for Averaging an Alleged
 Wrong.

Out of the rush to the north has come one more of the tales of horror to which men become accustomed when the lure of gold draws the reckless and interruptions in crowds from the restraints of civilization. Because he believed that he had been defrauded by his companions "Doc' Tanner, Kentuckian, opened fire upon party of gold-seekers camped near the mouth of Copper River. He had overheard a conference in which it was about decided that be- cause of his complaining he was to be turned adrift by the men he had accompanied to the north. Tanner was dead shot and at his fire two miners fell dead. The extinguishing of the light in their tent saved the other. Tanner surrendered to the miners of the camp and was at once tried before a jury of thirty-eight men. They found him guilty and sentenced him to death. Tanner pleaded his own case, but scorned to ask for mercy. He was taken to a point near the camp and hanged. 
 SEATTLE, Feb. 2--The steamship Alliance arrived in port this afternoon from Orca, near the mouth of the Cop per River in Alaska. She brought news of the killing of two men and the lynching of the murderer. The tragedy and subsequent sensational episode oc cured on January and 3 at Valdez, Prince William Sound.
 Willard Fillmore Tanner, familiarly known as Doc" Tanner, of Lexington, Ky, fired the fatal shots that almost instantly ended the existence of two of his comrades. They were W. A. Lee of Lowell, Mass, and N. Call of Worthington, Minn. B. F. Haines of Salem, Mass, narrowly escaped bull let that was sent in his direction. Within a few hours after the double murder Tanners lifeless body was dangling from the limb of tree, an indication that quick justice had been meted out.
 The killing was the result of a long series of quarrels between various members of the party and the pecula- tions of Haines and Hogue When first formed the party included J. J. Murphy, B. Carlin, B. F. Haines, w. A. Lee, Andrew Scott, John Scott, H. Bent, James Pierce and a MT. Hill dreth, all of Massachusetts, and MT. Hogue of Newsburgh, N. Y. They were under the management of Haines, who guaranteed to land each man at Orca, Prince William Sound, with six months supply of food, clothing and prospectors' tools for the sum of s250 each.
