Blanco should proclaim a revolution In
Havana against the sovereignty of Spain
and declare Spanish American republic
with himself at the head Of the government
and all of the various leaders of the civil
government, the commanders Of the volun-
teers and the Spanish army were to concur
in the movement and cstensibly sever their
allegiance to Spain and everything b.
turned over bodily to the hands Of General
Blanco under his new government. The
government was to be entirely free ard
indepen itnt OF the insurgents, who were
not to be recognized in the affair to sny
extent, but only the strictly Spanish ee-
mert was to be recorded.
When Spain sued for peace that put an
end to the plan.
