HAWAII APT TO BE ANNEXED.
FACT cRoPs OUT IN REPUBLICAN
SENATORIAL CAUCUS.

Discussion of the Sugar Schedule In
the TariG nIII ariAss the Matter to
the surfac~-PrSstGsAt McKu,l0V
Believed TO Ne Prepared to Enter
Into Negotiations to Place tho
Islands Under tho Protection of
the stars and stRipos,
Washington. June 12.-Ths republican
senators were in CAUCUS for two hours to-
day and devoted tho entire tLrne to an
effort to agree upon a course OF action to
be pursued with regard to the Hawaiian
reciprocity treaty In connection with the
sugar schedule Of the tarin bill. Tho
meeting OF the Senate at Il o'clock forced
an adjournment befsre there was time to
reach conclusion, and the caucus dis
persed to meet again at 4:sO In the after
noon.
Senator Nelson OF Minnesota led the
fight in favor Of the abrogation OF the
Hawaiian treaty. He said that the Unit
ed States had paid s1S,ooo,ooo only for the
Louisiana purchase, yet in tariff remis-
sions on sugar alone there had been paid
sSl 100000 for Pearl Harbor.
Senator Frye made a vigorous defense
OF the treaty and Of the policy of main
tein.nx the closest sort OF relations with
Hawaii, which had been settled ana civil
lied By Americans.
Senator Davis also spoke In defense bf
the treaty, going into a detailed argument
country and the Hawaiian Island should
be maintained upon the present reciprocal
basis.
There were the frequent references to the
probability of a new treaty for the annex
alton OF Hawaii and II seemed to be quite
generally understood that such a treaty
was included among the possibilities of the
near future. There appeared however to
be no definite information as to the details
and the references we're very general in
character. No one assumed to speak for
the President on this point, but so far as
anything was said 1t was apparently based
upon the supposition that the President
was prepared to enter into negotiations
looking to placing the islands under the
protection Of the stars and stripes as a
part OF the United States.
Senator Frye referred once or twice to
inc DOSblDilLy OIL dunHAdAiun anu GtHdApt .
Thurston and Nelson, who strenuously
oppose the continuance of the present
treaty In effect, announced themselves as
prepared TO consider favorably the ques-
ton of annexation on the theory that an
arrangement for consolidation on that
basis would be reciprocal, whereas they
contend that the present treaty Is en-
tirely one-sided in its advantages
Senator Thurston contended that the
best way to insure annexation would be
through the abrogation Of the existing
treaty
At the afternoon caucus, after consider
ing the Hawaiian reciprocity provision, it
was decided TO refer the matter, togeth-
er with the various propositions which had
been submitted to the republican mem
bers on the committee on finance, to form
ulate the proposition which shall be sub
mitted to a future caucus II not satlsfac-
tory to all.

BRYAN ARRIVES AT GOTHAM.
A Crowd Cheers Him as the Next
President,


New York. June 12.-w. J. Bryan ar
rived here from Troy to-day. He vas
met at the Grand Central depot by a large
crowd. who accorded him an snthusias-
tic reception. The party was INST by a
deputation from the Progressive Demo-
cratic Club.
As Mr.. Bryan left the train he was greet
ed with cheers and repeated criea Of:
Bryan, the next President Of the United
States" Az Mr.. Bryan left the station,
the hackmen. all In a rev in front OF the
building, removed their hats and rsnsW sd
the cheering for the next President of
the United States" and Mr.. Bryan again
Acknowledged the salute. nnterinG a car
riage with John Brisbane Walker and q
member Of the deputation, Air. Bryan
drove TO the BArthelai hotel, where he will
stop during his stay In this city.
Mr.. Bryan arrived at the hotel about 4
o'clock and was greeted by g large con-
course Of people. Within ten minutes the
demand for a speech became so persistent
that Mr.. Bryan had TO respond. After
shaking about enc hundred hands, Mr..
Bryan sought the ssolusion of a parlor,
but was followed there.
The president of the local democratic
legion suggested that Mr.. Bryan make q
few remarks. He suggested, toe, that as
Mr.. Bryan might be averse to talking on
politics, he choose any subject he deemed
proper. Mr.. Bryan responded that as his
studies had been OF a political nature, II
was very difficult for him TO say anything
that did not touch on politics somewhere.
He dwelt on the dutiee OF citizenship,
and said that he booked back on the cam
paign of last year as one OF great value
to the American people. zone cannot al
ways Judge OF the effect of a campaign al
once" he said, "and we DO not know
whether the result of the campaign will
remain pGTmGnenS or not"
OF ono thing he was sure, and that was
that 1t 10 q good thing to have the citi-
zens Of the country keep their public Of
ncials under close scrutiny. In that d.
rection, tho campaign of last year had
been prolific OF good results.
Later Mr.. Bryan received a deputatlon
from tho proGressive democratic league
and he spoke to them briefly.
Several attempts were made to get Mr..
Bryan TO speak about the local political
situation In New York. but he evaded
them all. Mr.. Bryan avoided discussion of
politics. but he dld say so far as he was
able to judge from what he Mad heard, a
predicted return OF prosperity had not
como. He thought the prospects for dem
oeratic success next fan were very good,
and that there had been a growth of sill
yer sentiment here and elsewhere.
Mr.. Bryan will go by rail to Washing
ton; thence by boat to Norfolk Va,
where he is to speak under the auspices
of the Chautauqua Club on Monday. on
Tuesday he is to be at Charlottesville.
Then he is to deliver the commencement
address before the Washington and Jeffer-
son Societies of the University of Virginia.

SPAIN READY TO DO JUSTICE.
CanOvas Talks About the Payment of
an Indemnity in the Ruiz Case.

CanOvas Talks About the Payment of
an Indemnity in the Ruiz Case.
Madrid, June 12.-The Spanish premier,
Senor Canovas del Castillo, in an inter-
view, is reported as saying that the al
legged demands of the United States in
the case of DR.. Ricardo Ruiz, the Ameri-
can citizen who expired in jail at GUIANA
bacoa, apparently from injuries received
there, must be exaggerated. The premier
admitted to-day, however, that if the
widow Of DR.. Ruiz demanded an indem-
nifty and her claim was shown to be justi-
fed Spain would see that justice was done.
Senor Castillo further remarked: 81 do
not believe President Mckinley has any
unfriendly intentions toward Spain, but If
the United States departs from a friendly
attitude, Spain will be able to defend her
rights"
Washington, June 12.-Senor Dupuy de
LONE, the Spanish minister, paid a visit
to Assistant Secretary Day at the state
department this afternoon, but so far has
not supplied a copy of DR.. Congosto's re-
port upon the Ruiz case to the officials
and it is said at the department that 1t is
not expected such copy will be fur
nished.

Washington June 12-The treasury de-
partment has received by reference from
the Secretary Of State a communication
from the Spanish minister to the effect that
he has Information that an important flli-
clustering expedition is being organized on
the coast OF Florida and asks that steps
be taken by the government to frustrate
1t. The department communicated this
information to all collectors and masters
Of the patrol fleet on the florida coast with
instructions to be on the alert to prevent
the departure Of any suspected expedition.
This was done to-day by telegraph.
II developed later that the department.
has specific information Of the shipments
Of arms and munitions for what promises
to be one of the most important flibuster-
ing expeditions for several months.
A carload of arms left Jacksonville yes
terday morning by the Florida East Coast
railroad and passed New Smyrna last
evening, south-bound.
A second carload Of rifles and dynamite
left Jacksonville yesterday morning on
the regular freight train for the probable
purpose of being transferred to some ves-
sci on the east coast, probably the yacht
Volusa, which has been engaged to trans
fer these munitions from the railways to
the vessel destined for Cuba.
1t is probable that the vessel which will
receive these arms will not come close
to shore

Washington. June ia mysterious In
terview between Senator Tillman and John
Gary Evans took place last night at the
residence OF the senator. Ex-Gov Evans
arrived here yesterday. but he did not
come to the capitol, preferring that his
presence In Washington should not be
generally known. His visit Is supposed to
have some political bearing upon the COM
ing senatorial contest
Senator Tillman was not inclined to dis
cuss Mr.. Evans mission, simply saying
that he stopped over in Washington few
hours on his way to Baltimore on private
business. II Is believed that Senator TIL
man was urged to come out In the open
and assist Mr. Evans TO defeat Senator
McLaurin In the primaries when the race
for the senatorshlp begins.
Some OF Senator Tillman's friends as
sert that the senator has carried John
Gary Evans on his political shoulders long
enough and now he proposes to let him
scramble for himself. Senator Tillman
will have contest on his hands In a few
years. and he proposes to reserve his per-
sonal and political strength TO assist In Sc
curing another six years term IN the
Senate.
Personally. Senator Tlnhan may prefer
Gov. Evans TO Senator McLaurin as a
senatorial colleague, as the latter insists
in acting Independently OF the senior sem
ator.
John Gary Evans would be Senator Till
mans "me too" while Senator McLaurin
thinks and acts for himself In the Senate,
and is fast winning popularity and inhu-
ence in that body.
