PASSED THE SENATE.

Washington, July 1.-THE annexation
OF Hawaii is accomplished so far az the
legislative branch of the government
IL concerned. Quite Unexpectedly the
resolutions providing for the annexation
OF the islands were brought to a vote in
the senate late yesterday afternoon, and
they were passed by the decisive vote OF
~ to 2f.
Early In the session or the senate con-
ferences OF the leaders on both sides OF
inc chamber were held, and tacit
agreement was reached that a vote
should be taken today or Friday a { the
latest. TIE opponents of annexation
practically had concluded their argu-
ments, and as they had no desire to
keep the senate in session by purely
dilatory tactics. they announced their
Willingness that vote should be taken
as soon az Mr.. White. Mr.. Pettisrew
and Mr.. Allen had finished their speeches
which they did shortly after.

CRITICISMS ANSWERED.

Washington, July 7.--Surgeon General
Stcrnberg of the army objects to the
criticisms made by the representatives
of the Red Cross society at Siboney
concerning the alleged inadequacy OF
the hospital accommodations with Shat
ter's army for the care of the wounded.
In this connection he said Such
complaints as these invariably arise in
the operations OF armies in the field.
When the men went into battle they
threw away their blankets and other
clothing not absolutely necessary to be
carried with them, and when they were
wounded their underclothes Were cut
away by the surgeons in order that the
latter might properly dress and attend
to their wants.
1t Is not practicable for an army
commander to send forward with the
van of the army everything necessary
In the hospital line. and resort for the
supplies must necessarily be had at the
rear division hospitals, where there is
always a large consignment OF every
thing needed on hand Such is the cas-,
at this time with Skaters army. The
hospital branch furnishes blankets.
mosquito bars. pillow eases, sheets and
shirts for field use, and with all these
requisites the army is supplied"

No "Old spanish Hymn" For Miss Eta
TilIman OF Mstteawan, N. Y.
Miss Eta Tillman Of Matteawan, N.
Y, is deeply religious young woman.
She is intensely patriotic, too, and true
patriotism is the sister of true religion.
Miss Tillman has a fine alto voice
and is one Of the quartet choir of the
Presbyterian church at Matteawan. The
other Sunday in church this American
girl refused to sing hymn that was set
TO the tuneof the "Old Spanish Hymn |"
Even Spanish music is renugnnnt TO her
loyalty to her country. The Rev. Peter
s. Beek1nan. a visiting clergyman, filled
the pulpit Of the Presbyterian church
that Sunday. He asked Miss Josephine
Badeau, the church organist, TO select
the hymns for the day, and one of tho
hymns she chose is arranged to the
music of the "Old Spanish Hymn"
The moment in the services arrived
for singing this hymn the choir arose;
Miss Tillman, Miss Inez Weed, the So
prano; Charles. Bingham, the tenor, and
Howard G. Duff, the bass. Miss Badeau
played q few bars ON the organ, aud the
choir began to. sing-but not Miss Till.

GENERAL YOUNG.

General Young refused to issue fur
ther rations TO the Cubans until ad-
vices are received fivm Washington In
answer TO his expose OF the situation
here. The Cubans refuse to assist in
the hospital and commissary depart
ments. claiming they are soldiers not
laborers. The same answer was given
by them TO General Baker when he asked
the Cubans to help open the roads for
the transportation of supplies to the
front. This. together with General
Garcia's not preventing the entrance
of General Pando's reinforcenrents into
Santiago. has caused discomfort among
the American officers and troops. Gem
eral Young has reported the situation to
the United states government. In the
meanwhile he has placed the Cubans in
a separate camp under police regula-
tions and has turned them over to Clara
Barton Tor rations.

His earnestness was almost terrible.
Further argument / knew was useless,
and l made none. The wonderful energy
of the man is shown by the fact that,
although his regiment was one of the
last Of the volunteers under the first call
to get under way, it was the first to get
into the fight i'll Cuba. That he was able
to organize and equip it in such a man

HALTED THE ENEMY.

Two Deer on . Cuban Shore Bolted just

The outpost at the crossroads leading
to Camp McCaila had been peacefully
watching all night recently. 1t was al
most dawn, and not Spaniard had
been seen. No one anticipated that tho
enemy was within six miles when softly
from the pathway in the distance came
the sound Of so1ne one stcalthily walk

sank low in tho bushes. Still the sounds
came nearer.
Halt! Who goes therc:" called the
sentry sharply. There was ne answer,
and the rifles Of the 30 marines clicked
in readiness for action. Again came the
cry Of the sentry. and up the pathway
there appeared white figure moving
softly and swiftly away. No one fired,
for orders had been given not to alarm
the camp unnecessarily.
"It must "a been a ghost, ,, whispered
one of the men. "It certainly wasn't no
Spaniard. - SO in silence they waited
again and listened. By and by the sound
could be heard again, and in the break.

deer appeared, timidly mincing along.
A soldier moved and startled the ami
mails, which turned and fed, their white
tails displayed to splendid advantage.

to have deer than ghosts as companions
