HAVANA. Feb. o. via Key West. Feb. TO-
Yesterday morning Gen. Pando arrived here
very unexpectedly, for IL was reported tho day
before at tho palace that he had left Glbara for
Manzanillo. The object of his sudden appear
anco was to warn the press against saying
anything concerning the failure of Blanco's OK
oursion TO the east. Pando had no sooner ar
rived than he summoned to the palace the edi-
tors Of oil the Havana papers and said to them:
'It directly or indirectly or by words Of dou-
BILE meaning or ironical phrases you refer TO the
failure Of tho trip Of Blanco. the failure Of au-
tonomy. the failure Of tho prospects Of future
peace, or mention in any way our strained rela-
lions with tho United States, I shall have the
paper Immediately suppressed and its editor
sent to Spain"
1t is needless TO say that editorials are being
prepared on the success Of Blanco's trip, on the
great advantages already gained by autonomy,
tho sure prospects Of coming peace, and the
friendly relations existing bet ween Spain
and the United States. The muzzling of tho
press 10 to-day worse than in the palmy days Of
Weylcr, and It is very difficult to get any news
through tho military censors II tho dispatches
are not exactly in accord with the official ro-
ports.
