SUMMARY OF LATE NEWS
BY WIRE
BLANCO IS WARNED
HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MER
RIMAC HEROESUi JVES
President Notifies Captain General
that One Spanish Officer of High
Rank will Be Hanged for Every
American Prisoner Killed
Captain General Warned
The report that Capt Gen Blanco bad
refused to exchange llobson and his com
panions caused considerable excitement in
Washington Monday The imprisonment
of the Merriniac heroes in Morro Castle at
Santiago is regarded as an act of barbar
ity by the American government It has
been pretiy well established that Blanco
is responsible for this piece of mediaeval
cruelty and he will be held accountable
for the lives of the prisoners The presi
dent has sent a communication to Blanco
substantially as follows
The United States notifies the captain
general of Cuba that if llobson and his
men are not removed from the fortress
which guards the harbor of Santiago and
are killed through the bombardment of
that fortress the United States will not
treat Blanco or any Spanish officer of high
rank who may bo hereafter captured as a
prisoner of war but will regard them as
common murderers and will treat them
accordingly For every American who
may be killed as a result of brutal and
inhuman exposure to bombardment the
United States will hang one Spanish officer
of high rank
WONT RECOGNIZE THE FLAG
Will Fire on White Flag and Stars
and Stripes When in Range
Blanco has done a most extraordinary
thing Notlrng like it has been heard of
since the nations of the earth have recog
nized the fact that there are some rules
which all arc bound to recognize and obey
Blanco has notified tho blockading fleet
that he will not hereafter recognize a flag
of truce and that any vessel whether
under the stars and stripes or tho white
flag that comes within range of his guns
will be fired upon
The Spanish general cannot expect to
have that recognized by his enemies which
he refuses to recognize himself and itmay
complicate his personal welfare before the
war is at an end and the event has all the
appearance of nn intention to sacrifice
himself and all ho represents on the altar
of most profound stupidity
It is self evident that if he can stand
absolute isolation without any of the safe
guards known to civilized warfare his op
ponents can and if he ddsiresto be treated
as a savage he will beyond peradventuro
be accommodated
WATSON CONFIRMS REPORT
Spain Rofuscs to Exchange Hobson
and His Men
Tho following has been received at

in command of the blockading fleet in

Senator who is on close terms with the

men By tho time it is issued the regi
ments now in the field will have been re
cruited to their maximum strength
One hundred thousand men will form
about eighty regiments which will proba
bly be organized into twenty five brigades
nine divisions and three army corps This
will make necessary the appointment
of twelve major generals and twenty
seven brigadiers besides a large number
of paymasters commissaries of subsist
ence quartermasters surgeons and other
staff officers With an army of nearly
400000 men it will probably be unnecessary
to made a further call unless the casual
ties from diseases and battle are far more
extensive than seems probable at this
time Tho president has become convincod
that the war is likely to last a much longer
time than he contemplated and he is satis
fied that the best way to force Spain to
terms is to organize an army capable of
annihilating all tho men Spain can put
Into tho Pilippines Cuba and Porlo Rico

ascension it can bo accomplished safely
aud excellent results obtained Experi
ence has demonstrated the usefulness and
adaptability of the balloon in time of war
in ascertaining the movements and opera
tions of the enemy and in reporting theso
results promptly by means of telegraphic
