Washington, Oct I1.-No informa-
ton, officially, has been received by
this government to the effect that
Gen. Blanco desires four months longer

Corbin said to-day:
We shall give Blanco until December TO
leave the island On that date the United
States expects that he and all the
Spaniards who intend 10 leave will have
gone Six weeks or nearly two months
ought to be SUFFICIENT time for him to re-
move his army. Spain is surely not so
bankrupt as not TO be able to engage trans
ports enough TO carry away all Of her troops
by that time. 1t IS highly necessary that this
government gain full possession Of Cuba at the
earliest possible moment There must be
changes made IN the civil government of the
island and while the cool weather prevails we
must improve the sanitary conditions which
have long been such menace TO health At
present the revenues Of the island are going
