Freed By Blanco

Washington, Aug. 9. - News has just reached here froni Havana of a recent astounding proclaraation of amnesty in which General Blanco has made known to the Spanish people of Cuba that Spain had, through the intervention of foreign powers, been forced to the d:sgraceful issue of suingr for peace, and that there would be no more war and no further use for soldiers. He offered a pardon to all Cuban political pr:soners, and over 150 were released in Havana. In explaining Spain's defeat in hls proclamation General 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 at once, so she was compelled to accede to their dictation and sue for peace. Havana, General Blanco says, will be given over to the Americans and Cubans and the Spaniards will be forced to evacúate. 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 interference on the part of either Cubans or Americans. He suggests that the Cubans be forgiven and no longer regarded as enemies and that no unkind feeling be cherished.
