House Recommends Passage of scry-
mser Bill.
WASHINGTON, March s. The
House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce, with but two dis
senting votes, today decided to recon-
mend the passage of the Scrymser Pa,
cific cable bill, and delegated to Con-
gresham Bennett of New York the
task Of writing a favorable report to
the House. 1t was a long hearing,
which was productive of this result,
and there was an element of emergen-
cy in the matter. A statement was
made to the committee that work on
the cable could be begun within a few
weeks after the bill was signed and
that it could be put in working order
by the 1st Of October next under ordin-
ary conditions.
With the stress of war preparations
on hand, it was believed that COM
munication with the Islands by wire
| could be made by the middle of sum
mer, and with this fact uppermost in
their minds, many Of the committee
voted for the bill. The bill is amended
in a few particulars, but tha amend.
ments affect only some of the minor
ends of preparations. One of these
makes the guarantee $4,000, and il
must be deposited Within Is days aftel
the signing of the bill. There was ar
opinion expressed in the COMMITTEES
that in case of hostilities any mean:
of communicating with our Asiatft
squadron, which would make the time
seven days less than as at present
which would be the case if the Island
cable could be utilized, would be of i'm
| menSe advantage

DaStardIy. If True .

The Call, under date of March u,
publishes the following from Washing
ton: The report Of the Court Of In
quiry investigating the Maine disaster
will contain the following statements:
"The disaster in Havana harbor was
due to the explosion of submarine
mine. This mine was planted by Off,
cials Of the Spanish Government and
exploded by Spanish officials in Hava-
ma. The Maine was purposely moved
to the vicinity of this mine, and the
explosion was evidently timed when
the Maine should, through the infiu-
ence of the wind and tide, lay directly
over it. Traces of the submarine mine
were discovered by the court and pre-
vious to the explosion by Lieutenant
Jenkins, who was killed by the explo-
sions."

AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
Plan to Get Congress Out of Way as

Plan to Get Congress Out of way as
Soon as Possible.
NEW YORK, March "a Washing
ton special to the Herald says: The
aim now is to get Congress out Of the
way as quickly as possible, so that the
Cuban question can be settled during
the summer by the President. Speaker
Reed wants an early adjournment
He desires to go to Europe in May.
As a matter of fact, Congress could
adjourn in a week with all the neces-
sary work done.
There will be no river and harbor
bill The House Committee voted to-
day to not report the bill. Ten appro-
priation bills have already passed and
some are in the conference committee
over amendments. Only two appropri-
alton bills remain to be passed-the
naval appropriation bill and the gen
eral deficiency bill.
It is argued that with Congress ad-
| journed another element of danger
| would be removed and the President
could be free to act on the indepen-
dence Of Cuba by proclamation, if that
should at any time become necessary.

Engineers.
PEKING, March 1.-THE British
Minister, Sir Calude Macdonald, visited
the Chinese Foreign Office on Tuesday
and lodged a strong protest against the
cession of Port Arthur to Russia, say
ing it would destroy the balance Of
power in China. The Chinese officials,
however, declared their inability to
withstand the Russian demand.
M. Pavloff, the Russian Charge d'Af-
faires, wished the cession to take place
within five days, in order to forestan
the arrival of his successor, M. Speyer,
but China required a longer time to
consider the matter, and therefore the
negotiations were transferred to st. Pc
tersburg.
Russia is still eXerting pressure to
bring about the dismissal of the Brit
ish railroad engineers. The Tsung-ll-
Yamen referred the matter to the Dl-
rector of Railroads, who declared their
services to be indispensable, regardless
Of their nationality.

Three Of the members of the Hawai-
ian delegation who went to Washing
ton some weeks ago to fight against the
annexation treaty were passengers on
the overland train which arrived srom
the East last night. The overland was
several hours late and the three VISIT
ors landed here after midnight. They
were driven to the California hotel,
where they will remain until the de-

The antiannexationists who have
returned from the East are: James K.

party, when seen upon the arrival Of
the party declared that their trip to
Washington had been an enjoyable one
and they hoped would be attended
with satisfactory results.

said. "The last poll made of that body
would seem to indicate that many Sen
ators will have to change their views

Queen Liliuokalani, he said, is still

ANXIOUS FOR A TEST VOTE.
Hawaiian Annexation Treaty Discuss
+ ed In Committed

Hawaiian Annexation Treaty Discuss
ed In Committee.
/ WASHINGTON, March 5.-A test
vote on the Hawaiian annexation
treaty is desired by friends of the
Islands in the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, and as a result of a
meeting Of that body today it now
seems probable that soon after the re-
turn of Senator White from Califor-
MIA the Bacon amendment submitting
the result to a vote Of the people of
the Islands will be made a medium
for taking the sense of the Senate
In case the test shows that there is no
hope of securing the fifty-nine or sixty
votes necessary to put the treaty
through a resort will be had to a joint
resolution. While the debate in the
committee was long and several mem
bers urged strongly their plan of i'm
mediate action by bill or resolution,
Chairman Davis position was finally
upheld by the committee.

Administration Has Not Decided
On Lime Of Action.
PREPARED To MEET ANY RESULT
No Other Step Likely Than De-
mand From Spain of Indemni-
fication for Loss of Maine.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Tri-
bune's Washington correspondent
wires: Although the report of the
Naval Board of Inquiry chosen to in
vestigate the causes of the disaster to
the Maine is expected to reach the city
some day next week, absolutely no
foundation exists for the statement
that the boards conclusions have been
forwarded in advance to Washington
or have come to the official or un-
official knowledge of the President and
his advisers. Until the report is re-
ceived and duly considered, of course,
the Administration will not decide on
any definite plan Of action. Meanwhile
the multifarious programs invented for
the President may be dismissed as
based ON nothing more than conjec-
ture
1t may be said that the Administra-
ton is prepared to meet any state of
facts which may be disclosed by the
boards report, and if any responsible
ty for the Names loss is fixed on
Spain, a demand will be made at once
for dissavowal and reparation. But
no other step than a diplomatic in
sistence on indemnifcation for the loss
of the Maine is likely to be made
necessary by the board of inquiry S
report, and that only in case the in
vestigation dicloses as a contributory
cause of the disaster some distinct and
culpable negligence on the part of the
Spanish authorities i'm Havana.
The wider problem of restoring peace
and order in Cuba will probably not
be dealt with by the President in con-
nection with the program, whatever it
may be, to be followed as the result
of the board of inquirys findings.
Secretary Long, when asked regard
ing the reiterated reports that the
court of inquiry or some of it's mem
bers had made known to the Govern
ment the tenor of the report on the
explosion of the Maine, said all such
rumOrS were untrue. He had obtained
no information whatever bearing on
the report Of the court or the cause
of the explosion before the report
comes, which may be next week.
Secretary Alger today referred to the
sensational publications in similar
strain to the effect that, so far as he
was concerned, he had no intimation
of what the courts report would be,
or of the character of it's findings
Coming from such authorities, both of
who have the highest reputation for
perfect frankness and unquestioned We
racity, there seems little ground for
placing any reliance on the alleged
news which appears from day to day
to the effect that an official forecast
CT the boards report has been in the
possession Of the Administration for
several days, and that the $4,000 900
appropriation was induced by that
fact.

A Rig APPROPRIATION.
House Votes $50, 900. 900, for National
Defense.

Defense.
WASHINGTON, March Sin a
spirit Of patriotism. with eloquent
words ringing in their ears, every
member of the House of Representa-
tives today responded TO the Presi-
dents first call to meet the Spanish
situation by casting his vote for bin
placing in President McIlinley's hands
$50 0,000,00 to be expended at his dis
cretion for the National defense. Party
lines were swept away and with un-
animous voice Congress voted it's con-
fidence in the Administration. Many
members who were paired with absent
colleagues took the responsibility OF
breaking their pairs, an unprecedented
thing in legislative annals in order that
they might go on record in support OF
this vast appropriation to maintain the
dignity and honor of their country.
Speaker Reed, who, as the presiding
officer, seldmon votes, only in case of a
tie, had his name called and voted in
his capacity as a Representative.
The scene of enthusiasm which
greeted the announcement of the vote
ayes 81, noes none-has seldom been
paralleled in the House.
