BLANCO'S FAILURE EXPECTED.


1t Ia Not Believed liz Can Buy tho SUR
render OF Insurgent Leaders.
HAVANA, Jan. 27-ln spite of the
optimistic cable advices that are being
forwarded to Madrid, il is not believed
in political circles here that the jour.
ney Of Gen. Blanco through the east Of
the island will bring peace. Although
he carried about $3.50, 900 with him when
he left Havana, no one believes that
any important leader will surrender.
The presumption Is that he went in
the expectation Of meeting Gen. Gomez.
Should he return without having in
duced the principal insurgent chiefs
to surrender, autonomy, it is believed,
would be considered u failure at Mad
rid, conclusion that would seriously
affect the stability Of the government
at Havana and at the home capital.

Men with Missions.

We are continually hearing about
men and women who have missions. As
general thing they are persons to be
avoided, especially il they make pub
lie announcement of their missions.
Everybody has a mission, and the only
ones who do not fulfill them AS na ure
intended they should are thoscwho are
continually prating that they have
them. The man with a mission" is
growing more rare every day. and sim
ply because an enlightened sooiety
forces him to go to work, beg or starvs.
Many are still begging. The woman
with a mission" is still among us; she
has not yet been forced to work, nor
does she beg, and she certainly seems
10 be in no danger of starving. This
is seeming paradox. An explanation.
however is found in the fact that she
usually has a husband who provides a
home for her and furnishes her with
money for her dresses and her hobby.
Her real mission she leaves to servants
to perform. Society is amused with
her now-society is always amused
with novelties-later on it may be-
come bored with her, and then an emit
lightened generation may force her
to work, beg or starve, or GO home
to her children and try to become =
sensible woman.
