WARRINGTON. Dec. 6.-There was considers-

to the confirmation Of Attorney General Nc

Justice Fields on the Supreme Court bench. but
there is little evidence to indicate that tho

no truth in the report. Judge Mckenna is a

lBaEDy's Musical N1orninE.

Crowds thronged into the Astoria yesterday
morning at about IL o'clock until the ball
room was filled as IL hns been on no previous
occasion this winter. There was not even much

and placed in the aisles. A gay and fashionable

Captain Mckee Favors Keeping Them IN
Territorial Condition For Thirty Years.
Captain Thomas II. Mckee of Indiana,
journal clerk of the house and eX-secretary
of the Republican congressional commit
tee, presented some rather novel views re
Gently on the question of Hawaiian AN
nexation. He said:
II favor the policy of annexing the Ha
waiian Islands, in addition to the ordi-
nary reason of naval defense and protection
of our Pacific seaboard, because l am so
good a friend to the negroes of America
that | would want some place like Hawaii,
with it's pleasant climate and fruitful SOIL
set apart for the experiment Of self sus-
tanning community made up OF our col
ored fellow citizens where they would
have the advantage Of starting out with
the civilization they have acquired as a
race in America and where they could
work out for themselves the problem of
existence without leaning too much on the
white people.
II would not admit Hawaii into the
Union as a state Immediately. Indeed q
stipulation that it should remain in ter
Eritorial condition for, say, not less than
80 wears should be inserted in the treaty
of annexation or joint resolution as adopt
ed by congress. 1t is true that would not
bind any subsequent congress desiring to
undo the provision. As a matter Of fact,
as | remember, not one Of the stipulations
inserted in the treaty of acquisition OF
| Louisiana was ever repealed. Such proyi-
sions of safeguard would not be repealed.
The islands will not be ready for statehood
for many years to come"
Captain Mckee says he is absolutely
sure that the Hawaiian Islands will be
annexed at the approaching session OF con
gress. He says further, II would like, to
see an extension of the policy to the West
India islands, the purchase of the Danish
possessions there, and also of slice OF
northern Mexico if she would part with
it. New York Tribune,

SPANISH LOSSES IN CUBA.
OF 1872 900 Soldiers Only 50 600 Remaip Fit
for DUTY.

OF 10000 Soldiers Only $4,000 &emaio Fit
for DUTY.
General Blanco's report to the home
government to a certain extent lifts the
veil from the situation in Cuba. He
shows that of the 1872 900 Regular sol
diers sent to Weyler only $4,000 remain
fit for duty. Forty thousand are now III
the hospitals, while 60, 600 have been kill
eli by the Cubans or died from disease.
This is an awful total, when ali the
circumstances are considered There has
been no pitched battle worthy of the
name, for the Cuban's have avoided bat
ties and have carried on a guerilla war
taTe, something after the manner of
Mosby, but acking the brilliant execu-
ton of that daring commander.
1t should be borne in mind, when con-
templating the losses of the Spaniards,
that the Cubans have never been able at
any time to muster and arm more than
10000 active men.
In addition to the losses of the Span
lards we must also take into consider
alton the awful Suffering that has been
entailed on the population by the meth
DDS of Weyler, the destruction of prop
erty, the murder and assassjnat, on of
peaceabe citizens and the horrors of
starvation which thousands are now en-
during.
All this misery, degratiop, death and
destruction has been going on right I'M
der the eyes of great republic that
makes high professions to Christianity.
