GOMEZ TO FORCE THE VAR.
The Insurgent Commander-in-Ch Chief Hal
 His Forces Completely Equipped.

Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. I7.-Seven Cubans, including Senor Sauvannell, have arrived here bringing dispatches from Cuba. In accordance with the quarantine regulations, they were de- aimed for observation.
 Rumors continue to reach here that Maceo, the rebel leader, is still alive. It is said that he was desperately wounded in the engagement in which he was reported to have been killed, but that he is now improving. Little credence is placed in these rumors
 Advices which have reached here are to the effect that Maximo Gomez, the insurgent commander-in-ch chief, now has his forces completely equipped and is prepared to open a vigorous campaign against Captain General Weyler.

HAW ANNEXATION,
senator Perkins Objections to 1t
Are Not Well Taken

Special Dispatch 20 the Observation-Disclosures.
PORT TOWNSEND, June a5.--The point
against Hawaiian annexation made by
Senator Perkins 10 the effect that Euro
pean-owned vessels would be placed under
the flag of Hawaii and ultimately become
American bottoms. Is not well taken ac-
cording to expressions OF shipping men.
Several months ago the Hawaiian iegis-
lature adopted laws prohibiting the in
discriminate admission or foreign vessels
10 Hawaiian registery. 1t was only re-
Gently that the government refused to
allow the steamers Amara noora and
San Mateo 10 fly the island flag and many
other vessels have been refused similar
requests. Such action was taken TO meet
the very objection made by Senator Per-
kins. 1t is generally conceded that the
ocean going vessels now operating under
Hawaiian registers are mostly owned In
san Francisco and in other parts OF the
United States. Nearly every shipping in
terest on the Coast and particularly on
Puget Sound. is strongly in favor of i'm
mediate annexation OF the islands
