Blanco at Havana, will be deprived of all means of communication with this gov ernment at Madrid except through a strict censor when the American army formally takes possession of Santiago.

The signal officials will maintain a censor ship of writing that is offered fcr transmission from Hava la over the cables leading to Hayti, or Jamaica, and nothing will be permitted to be sent which is in any way injurious to the inter ests of this government.
