New York, Aug. 9, According to advices received from Havana by the Cuban Junta, Captain-General Blanco appreciates the fact that he must soon withdraw hlmself.and his forces from the island of Cuba. nc has assumed a mild demeanor, which compares, strangely with his previous bombastic attitude and fre quently expressed determination to hold out in Havana to the death, and Is treating the Insurgents with great consideration. In a recent proclamation he made known to the Spanish people of Cuba that Spain, through the Intervention of foreign powers, had been forced to the disgraceful suing for peace, and that there would be no more war and no further use for soldiers. He offered a pardon to all Cuban political prison ers, and more than 150 were released In Havana. In explaining Spain's defeat in his proclamation, Captain - General Blanco Informs his readers that Spa In having suffered so much In the pres ent war, could not resist the Interfer ence of the foreign powers and go to war with all countries at once, so she was compelled to accede to their dic tation and sue for peace. Havana, ho jsays, will be given over to Americans andCubansaid-4J)C,Hpaolsli-.wJll . evacuate. Captain-General Blanco assures the soldiers and all Spanish residents who wish to return to Spain, or go to other Spanish posesslons, that they will be given free transportation by mother country to their destination, and will bo protected from Interference from either Cubans or Americans. He sug gests that the Cubans be forgiven and no longer regarded as enemies, and that no unkind feelings be cherished. Fiend Captured. Griffin, Aug. 9.
