FREED BY BLANCO.
Captain, General Says War Is Over
+. and Liberates All Cuban S.~
Prisoners.

Washington, Aug. S.-News has just
reached Washington from Havana of
recent astounding proclamation of
amnesty in which Gen. Blanco has
made known to the Spanish people of
Cuba that Spain, had through the in
tervention of foreign powers, been
forced to the disgraceful issue of suing
for peace, and that there would be no
more war and no further use for sol.
diers. He offered a pardon to all
Cuban political prisoners, and over
$50 were released in Havana.
= In explaining Spain's defeat in his
proclama ton Gen. Blanco informs his
credulous readers that Spain, having
suffered so much in the present war,
could not resist the interference of
the foreign powers and go to war with
all countries ut once, SO she was COM
PEELED to accede to their dictation and
sue for peace.
Havana, Gen. Blanco says, will be
given over to the Americans and
Cubans and the ,Spaniards will be
forced to evacuate. He assures the
soldiers and all Spanish residents who
wish to return to Spain or go to other
Spanish possessions that they will be
given free transportation by their
mother country to their destination
and will be protected from inter-
ference on the part of either Cubans
or Americans. He suggests that the
Cubans be forgiven and no longer re-
garded as enemies and that no unkind
feeling be cherished.

A HUGE PENALTY.

Nation.

Washington, Aug. s.-Spain, for the
sake of false pride, bigotry, politics and
a child king, has buried in the depths
OF the sea IS vessels of her navy, valued
at $36,500,000. BY their rusting hulks
lie the bodies of more than a thousand
gallant tars.
Spain has surrendered in territory to
the United States directly Cuba. with
population of 100000 and an area of
$4,000 square miles, and Peurto Rico,
with an area of 1870 square miles and
a population of $4,000; also the La
drone islands. area AT square miles and
population $4,000. Her total direct loss
of territory in square miles is 4e,os7
and loss in population 2,325,ooo. She
has also jeopardized, probably beyond
all future control by her, the Philip
pine islands, with an area of 114,a2e
square miles and population of $780,
600. So that in the end it appears the
Spanish kingdom for the sake of the

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.
Alarmist Reports Of = Serious DiDl0.s
.t matte Tension-BritishA dmiFalty 9
@ Preparing to Mobilise Its Fleet.

London, Aug. 8. That extreme die
plomatic tension exists between ST.
Petersburg and London was generally
admitted Saturday; though the OIL.
Gals deprecate the alarmist reports
which were current Friday. It is hoped
that the frmer stand adopted by the
marquis Of Salisbury during the last.
few days, which seems to have all.
ready created some misgiving at st.
Petersburg, will have the desired effect
of arresting Russian aggressiveness.
It is felt both here and on the conti-
nent that the outcome of the dispute
in regard to the New Chwang railroad
extension is the crucial point OF the
success or failure of Great Britain's
policy of the "open door"
AS evidence of the fact that Great
Britain appreciates the gravity of tbs
situation, it is learned that the admi-
rally is preparing for all emergencies,
and that it will soon be ready to mob
ilize. So
There has been considerable discus
sion in parliament over the new situa-
ton in China, similar to that which
arose when Russia vetoed the loan
from the British government. This
time the complications are caused by
the contract for the loan which the
Hong-Kong and Shanghai bank wishes
to maketo the Chinese government for
railway between Tein-Tsin and New
Chwang, both treaty ports. The Rus
sian minister has been objecting siren
uously for six weeks, and Lord Sails
bury has offered China guarantee
against Russia.
It seems entirely clear that Russia
is interfering with British rights Sc
cured by the treaty of Tien-Tsin. The
obvious criticism upon Lord Sails
bury's method is that the offer of
guarantee to Picking, which China does
not like to accept, is less direct rem
edy than a determined remonstrance
through the British ambassador at
St. Petersburg would be.
London, Aug. S.-The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
Russia is now practically in possession
of New Chwang, and ''the open door" in
North China is already shut
The correspondent of the Daily News
at Odessa gives, under reserve, a report
that the Russian charge d'affaires at
Picking, NJ. Pavloff, will soon be re-
moved, and he regards it as indicating
Russian backdown.

Convinced That War Il Ended. 81
Washington, Aug. s.Although as
yet without official confirmat ton of the
report that the Spanish government
has decided to accept the terms laid
down by the United States as essential
to the negotiation Of a treaty OF
Peace, the officials here are proceed
ing under the conviction that the end
has come and are giving attention, to
the steps to be taken next.
Future Steps.
Should the Spanish answer be an
unconditional acceptance of our terms
some negotiation may be necessary to
agree upon the steps to be taken to
give effect to the agreement. So far
as can be learned it has not vet been
determined how this shall be done,
There are two ways open. The first is
military capitulation by the captain
generals of Cuba and Puerto Rico,
which, will Immediately place the
American military or naval com
manders in technical occupation of
the islands, and enable them to carry
out in their own way and in their own
time the embarkation of the Spanish
armies in the islands. The question as
to whether they shall be permitted to
carry off their arms is not now as
material as it was in the case of the
surrender of Gen. Torals forces at
Santiago, where occurring in the
midst of the campaign there was a
necessity for securing the moral effect
of compelling the Spanish soldiers to
lay down their arms. Spain having
succumbed it might be urged that the
United States might grant a conces-
sion on this point to Spanish pride
without fear of having the action at
tributed to fear of the consequences
of refusal. <This would not apply,
however, to the volunteers VIII might
elect to remain in Cuba, as it would OF
be prudent to allow so large body OF
men to carry arms without restraint in
the days Reconstruction, when deli;
cate and difficult matters of interna1
policy are 10 be settled and new meth
DDS applied to the government of the
islands.
The second method by which the pre-
liminary peace agreement mis- ht be
formally effected would be by proto-
col to be signed by representative OF
the president, probably Secretary Day
in this case, and by NJ. Cambon in be.
half of the Spanish government. IT
was by just such an agreement as this
known as the Cushing protocol, that
war was averted as result of the Vir.
ginius affair. This course having the
weight of precedent, may be adopted in
this case. It is probable that in the
Philippines the greatest difficulty will
be met in putting the agreement into
effect on account of the attitude of the
insurgents, but Gen. Merritt is now
gaining in strength daily, and probably
will be in position to meet any emer.
gency.
