HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
House Committee on Foreign Affairs
FavOrs Taking the Islands.

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-The House
committee on foreign affairs met to-day to
consider the Hawaiian annexation resolu-
ton, but finally deferred the vote until next
Thursday. The delay was upon the re-
quest of the minority. The committee
stands eleven to four in favor of annexa-
ton, follows:
For Annexation-Messr Hit of Illinois,
Adams of Pennsylvania, Quigg of New
York, Cousins of Iowa, William Alden
Smith of Michigan, Heatwole of Minnesota,
Pearson of North Carolina, Gillett of Mas
sachuetts Henry of Indiana the entire Re-
publican majority; Newlands of Nevada,
silverite; Berry of Kentuck Democrat
Against Annexation-MeSsrs Dinsmore of
Arkansas, Clark of Missouri, Williams of
Mississippi, and Howard of Georgia.
There was little. done by, the committee
at the session aside from the examination
of Lieutenant General Schofeld, U. S. A..
retired. and Admiral John G. Walker, L. S.
N: Ietired, both OF whom Warmly advo-
Gated the annexation. EX-Minister Lorin
A Thurston, of Hawaii, was also present.
General Schofield was asked as to the cost
Of fortifying the islands, and said he be-
lieved 100000 would be all that was neces-
sary to establish adequate Notifications.
Some discussion was had as to the especial
advantage the Hawaiian ISLANDS would nave
in view OF the present condition OF affairs
In the philippines. and a number OF ques-
tons were asked by the committee on this
point.
Admiral Walker concurred in the views
expressed by General Schofeld. He said
that the expedition now being organized
by the government to go to the Philippines
would have to stop at Honolulu, and 1T
could not stop there if Hawaii was neutral,
and that Hawaiian neutrality would be ex-
tremely injurious to the United states. Cen
eral Schofield said that if the expedition OF
troops now being fitted up for the occupa-
ton of the Philippines should have to go
straight through without stopping to recoal
at Honolulu which is about one-thlrd the
distance, the amount of extra coal that
thus would have to be carried would dis
place approximately one-third OF the cargo.
The explanation of the strategic and eco
nomical Importance of Hawaii to this coun-
try occupied almost the entire time of the
session.
Factious opposition to the acquisition of
the Hawaiian islands may still be SUFFICIENT
~ strong to defeat the ratification or a
treaty in the Senate, but from the ex-
pressed purpose of the foreign affairs COM
mittee of the House to-day 1T is clear that
an attempt is to be made in the near future
to force through an annexation resolution,
which only requires a majority vote The
acquisition of the Philippine Islands makes
the annexation OF Hawaii imperatively nee
essary from strategic standpoint, and that
is the view which is being taken by Con-
greSS.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE PHILIP
PINES.

Admiral Dewey's exploit has introduced a
new element into American conjecture, II
not American politics, and to-day every
body is discussing what the United States
should do with group of islands in Asiatic
waters which, fortnight ago, large ma
Jority Of persons had never given a thought
to and many had never heard of. This is a
question that does not call for immediate
solution. Let US not lose our heads. Because
Admiral Dewey has achieved an important
military advantage and made it possible for
US to capture and hold a portion Of the enc
mys territory, is no reason why we should
unreasoningly commit ourselves to a policy
or territorial extension in quarter of the
globe where our interests do not at present
require and do not justify it. Under present
conditions we do not need the Philippine
islands as permanent possession, and vet
circumstances may grow out of the war
which will change this situation. They are
remote from this continent, far removed
from the sphere of American influence and
distinctly a part of another continental and
political system.
the Philippines the Journal would say, first
capture and hold them. Spanish power there
should be completely broken and the islands
conquered. The stars and stripes should
float over every part of the islands and
they should be made, for the time being.
part and parcel of the United States. A pro-
visional government should be established
n IInh ie l.
conditions, partly civil and partly military,
but wholly American, and Spain should be
given to understand that she has lost the
Islands forever. They should, of course. be
held till the end of the war. and then. if
Spain should refuse to cede them bv treaty.
the United States should affirm their own
ership by right of conquest Then if 1t shall
seem unwise for the United States to hold
the islands, they should be sold or coded to
Great Britain for the largest equivalent OBJ
talnable, including the right of a coaling
station for United States vessels wherever
Great Britain has one The islands might
be worth more than this to Great Britain.
but this should certainly be embraced in the
consideration, and it should be accompanied
with a provision for a friendly understand
ing, amounting to an alliance between the
two nations in all matters where their in
terests are joint or mutual. Such a. treaty.
would be of immense value to the United
states, since it would give US a coaling sta
ton wherever England has one and would
furnish the basis of permanent friendship
between the two countries that would make
them leaders in peace and dictators in war.
We should capture and hold the Philippines
with view of retaining them or transfer
ring them to Great Britain for an interna-
tional equivalent

that SUFFICIENT supply of Krag-Jorgensen
rifles had been or would be shipped direct
from the armory at Springfield. Mass. in
time for the arrival Of the troops at New
Orleans.
All the boys are looking forward impa-
tiently to the time when they will hear the
command of load on the cars" and depart
for the scene of their duties. In nearly
every instance, when speaking OF leaving
for New Orleans, the men state that 1t
would have been better for every one con-
cerned had they been moved yesterday, as
the mastering in OF the troops, coupled with
the intelligence that they are about to go
into active conflict, has depressing effect
on their parents and friends, and from now
until their departure every man expects his
feelings to be racked by the sight OF tears
wrung from those who are dear to them.
It is stated as probable, In view of this
feature, that after the troops are loaded
into the cars at the fair ground they will
not again enter indianapolis, but will be
transferred around the Belt road to the c.,
II. & D. without entering the Union Depot.
where 1t was thought probable that an
anxious crowd of friends of the boys would
be centered waiting to pay their last re-
spects. This plan is thought to be the best
for every one concerned.

LETTER TO CATHOLICS.
Priests Directed to Pray for Peace
and for Those Who Fall in Battle.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The archbshops
of the Catholic Church in the United States
have agreed on letter addressed to the
clergy and laity of the country. The letter
bears on the war with Spain and will be
read in all churches on Sunday. 1t is in
dorsed by Mgr. Martinelli, the apostolic
delegate, and is as follows:
The events that have succeeded the
blowing up Of the battle ship Maine and the
sacifice Of 266 innocent victims, the patriotic
seamen of the United States, have culmin-
ated in war with Spain and our own be-
loved country. Whatever may have been
the individual opinions Of Americans prior
to the declaration of war there can now be
no two opinions as TO the duty of every
loyal American citizen. A resort to arms
was determined on by the chief executive
of the Nation, with the advice Of both
houses of Congress. and after consultation
with his Cabinet officers but not until after
every effort had been exhausted to bring
about an honorable and peaceful solution of
our difficulties with Spain. The patient
calmness the dignified forebearance, the
subdued f1rmness Of President Mckinley
during the trying time that interviewed be-
tween ire destruction OF the Maine and the
declaration OF war are beyond all praise and
should command the admiration of every
true American.
I'VE, the members of the Catholic Church,
are true Americans, and as such are loyal
to our country and to flag, and obedient
to the highest DEGREES and the supreme
authority of the Nation. We are not now
engaged in a war of esec1on against section,
or State against State, but we are united
as one man against a foreign enemy and a
common foe If, as we are taught by our
holy church, love Of country is next to love
of God, a duty imposed on us by all laws,
human and divine, then it is our duty to
labor and to pray for the temporal and
spiritual wei being of the brave soldiers
who are battling for our beloved country.
Let us faithfully. bid the God of battle to
crown their arms on land and sea with
victory and triumph, and to stay unneces-
sary effusion Of blood and speedily to re-
store peace to our beloved land and peo-
pie. .s ~-.
ITO this end we direct that on and after
the receipt of this circular and until the
close of this war, every priest shall, in his
daily mass, pray for the restoration of
peace by the glorious victory of our flag.
We also direct that prayers for the brave
soldiers and sailors that fall in battle be
said every day after mass. These prayers
shall be said aloud with the people, and
shall be one our Father and one Hail Mary,
and the de profunds.
I'VE pray that God may bless and pre-
serve our country In this crisis and speed
lily bring victory, honor and peace to all
our DeODlen

pledged. The resolution adopted by Con-
gress and approved by the President. under
which the present war is being prosecuted,
declares as follows:
That the United States hereby disclaims
any disposition or intention to exercise SOW
ereignty, jurisdiction or control over said
island, except for the pacincation thereof,
and asserts it's determination when that is
accomplished to leave the government and
control of the island to the people.
This is a national pledge, voluntarily as
sumed before the world, the breaking Of
which by the United States would be an
act of bad faith and dishonor from which
they could never recover. Whatever others
may suggest or Washington gossip approve
it is safe to predict that President McKin-
ley, who signed the resolution pledging the
United States against the annexation or
Cuba, will never consent to it's violation. SO
far as that island is concerned our efforts
must be confined to its pacifcation by the
expulsion of the Spaniards, aud when that
is accomplished to leave the government
and control of the island to its people"

PLACE FOR SURGEON WRIGHT.
Transfers Among Assistant Surgeons
That VIII Make Room.

The evidently sincere desire of Colonel
William M. Wright, chief of General Nc
KEGS medical staff, to serve with Indiana
troops, coupled with the popular clamor on
the part of both medical and lineN officers
for some provision in his case SO that the
troops should have the benefit of his serv-
ice, has at last borne fruit. and it is now
practically decided that Colonel Wright will
be found with the troops when they leave.
The fact that stood in the way Of Colonel
Wright's acceptance of a regimental ap-
pointment has been that he is a great
stickler for seniority, and lie has felt that
he could not conscientiously accept any APP
pointment that would disquallfy any of the
present staff of regimental surgeons.
1t is an open secret however, that in
two regiments the staff of surgeons has
not been entirely satisfactory, and yester-
day one of the commissioned officers from
the Third Regiment called on Colonel
Wright and informally rendered him the
appointment of sSistant surgeon of that
regiment He did 14ot however state how
the details of the plan Under which va
cancy would exist were 10 be carried out,
but it is said it will oe effected by a sys-
tenn of transfers having for their object
the disqualification of one of the present
members of the staff OF one of the reg1-
mentS. 1t is known that Surgeon Garstang
would much prefer to be assigned to the
Second Regiment, for he is more or less
acquainted with that body, while one of the
surgeons assigned 10 the OeSonu neg lHe4'S
does not feel altogether at home among
the members of that regiment
The whole affair is yet in an embroytc
condition, but it is safe to say that when
Colonel Studebaker and Colonel II. B. Smith
get their heads together to accomplish an
end desired, by both the solution OF the
difficulty viii be found in short order.
Colonel Weight expressed himself as glad
of any opportunity to go with the troops,
even If it were as a private, If it could be
accomplished without crowding some one
else out of the old hospital corps.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-05-11

A special agent is now on the way to
Washington bearing letters from General
Gomez to President Mckinley and General
Miles. in which he urges them not to at
tempt to land any United States troops in
Cuba during the summer, but to provide the
insurgents with arms and food and let them
drive the Spanish out. This is bad advice,
and if followed would prolong the war many
months. To end it quickly a strong invading
force should be sent to Cuba as soon as pos
sible. All of the best informed authorities
agree that the danger from yellow fever for
the next two months is so small as not to be
worth considering. and within that period
the Spanish should be driven out Of Cuba,
The war should not be allowed to run into
next winter and to prevent that a large in
vading force should be sent to Cuba to wind
it up. Naturally, General Gomez would like
to have the chief glory, and he deserves a
good deal, but the United States should not
make its plans to suit his desires. There are
much larger interests at stake than that.
