Tense. The decision reached will be
made public by the action taken ant
it is probable that all articles not fav-
orab1e to the government side of the
case will be quietly suppressed and
further disgraceful disclosures pre-
vented.
The ranking article last published
contained a batch of messages sent
during the war time which demon
strate that the gov, nment, when il
found that Blanco was unalterably
opposed to surrender, communicated
directly with General Torel, the COM
mander at Santiago, giving him free
hand to make terms.
General Blanco, on July 10, tele-
graphed to Torel that he would try
to relieve Santiago and instructing
him to insist that General Shafter al
low the Spanish garrison to retire to
Holguin or return to Spain on Spanish
ships, as otherwise Spain would con-
tinue the defense.
Regarding the suggestion General
Blanco said further to General Torel
that some one must be found to as
sumo the responsibility for this situa-
ton. 1 repeat that I am responsible
for everything that has occurred in
Cuba since October l last"
The same day General Blanco cab
led Madrid that the juncture of the
Third Army corps with the Santiago
garrison had become impossible, but
that Torel must not surrender except
on honorable conditions.
Madrid thereupon authorized Tore
to treat independently of Blanco, but
Blanco, ascertaining this, sent tele-
graphic warning to Torel that he
could not include the entire Fourth
Army corps in the surrender, as the
other garrisOns were capable of hold
ing out. Nevertheless, General Torel
on July II, surrendered the whole
army corps with its war material
In transmitting the announcement
of this surrender to Madrid, Blanct
reproached the government, saying hi

RUNOR OF COMBINE
AGAINST BOWERMAN
Brooklyn's Desire to Get "Bad Bill"
Dahlen for Manager Causes Fuss
in Big League.

NEW YORK, March 1O-Have the
baseball managers combined to prevent
the sale or exchange of players to
Frank BoWerman, manager of the Bos-
ton Nationals, in order to prevent the
Hub leader from Strengthening his
team?
The rumor in baseball circles tonight
is that the combination is due to Bow
erman's refusal to release BAD Bill"
Dahlen in order to take up the man
agerial reins of the Brooklyn team. 1t
is believed that Dahlen's days as
player are about over, but that he could
successfully pilot the Brooklyn team
there is no doubt. President Ebbits of
the Trolley Dodgers has been after
Dahlen-and still wants him-and Har-
Lumley, whom Ebbits made manager
of the team, is only a temporary ap
pointee. Ebbits still has hopes of
landing Dahlen.
1t is believed eventually that Bower
man will give up Dahlen to BROOKLYN.
but it is not thought likely that bad
Bill will be let go until the Hub man
ager has secured one or two good plav-
ers IN return. The opinion is general
that Dahlen's release from Boston will
be accomplished by an exchange of
players between New York. Broolxlvn
and Boston.

Many Are Preparing to Come West

SEATTLE, March 10.-This is the
day of new hotels, lodging houses and

be investing it in one or the other, be-
lieving that he will be able to make a
young financial record during the
period of the exposition. Out in the
vicinity of the exposition grounds

are springing up like mushrooms and

enough rooms in Seattle to house most
of the population west of the Missis-
sippi.
If the reports which come from the
east are to be relied upon Seattle is
not making too great preparation for
handling the crowds. 1t is the opinion
of J. B. Meikle, former secretary of
the Chamber Of Commerce and now
connected with the exposition, that the
railroads will have a hard time as
semblng sufficient equipment to carry
the people to Puget sound this sum-
mer. Mr. Meikle has just returned
from an extensive trip east and he
made it a point to very carefully in
vestigate the situation. He returns
convinced that the state of Washing
ton will have more guests this sum-
mer than was ever dreamed of. They
are not coming for the sole purpose of
seeing the exposition but to investigate
and size up the northwest. They have
heard so much of the wonders of the
west that they have concluded to take
advantage of the excursion rates to
see for themselves. The people of
