HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
VIEWS EXPRESSED BY GOV
ERNORS OF STATES.
Majority of Opinion Favors the
United States Assuming Con-
troll of the Islands.


NEW YORK. Jan. 24-The Herald"
Governors of States on the subject OF
annexation OF Hawaii. The interviews
follow:
Governor Leedy of Kansas believe
the Hawaiian Islands should be annex
ed by the United States for these rea-
sons Within a short time canal VIII
be built across the Isthmus Of Panama.
This canal should be controlled and
governed by the United States. The
nation having possession of these ISL
ands will command the road TO that
canal and will also possess the key TO
the Pacific Ocean from maritime
standpoint Ny belief is that If we al
lew Hawaii to slip out Of our fingers
now, within fifty years our necessities
would compel us 10 fight to get ltosses-
sion of the islands and, therefore. it
seems To me to be good policy to get
them while we can in peace.
Governor Adams Of Colorado--While
not enthusiastic, | believe the future
commercial welfare Of the United
States would justify the annexation Of
the Hawaiian Islands. But a hundred
fold more important move would be the
building of the Nicaragua Canal, as a
guarantee Of future power and empire.
We need both, but first OF all the canal.

The annexation would be used as q

that the damage was thought to be
heavy. No statement was made by
Spanish authorities as to the extent of
damages inflicted No mention of dam
ages to the American fleet is made.
The mouth of the harbor at Moro
Castle is but 600 feet wide. About a
mile up is La Socapa, where the chan
mel is but $50 feet wide. Between the
two points are shore batteries. so that
the fleet would be under heavy fire
through the entire distance at so short
a range that even Spanish gunner
could hardly fail to do effective work.
Two miles further up is Punta Carda,
the last effective fortification. If the
squadron passed this point there would
be nothing to hinder the speedy ami
hilation of Cerveras feet.
Naval officials scout the idea of Q
battle. They point out the dangers of
such an attack, and believe circum-
stances do not warrant taking any
chances If Schley's squadron did enter
the harbor, it is evident that the forti-
fications were first rendered almost en-
Grely useless.

she has made her last cruise under the
Spanish flag, from which it is inferred
that one of the American cruisers is

1t is believed that Sampson, confident
of Schley's ability to hold the Spaniardsi
in Santiago harbor, is now rapidly
preparing to convoy the military exJ
petitions, the starting of which cannot
be deferred much longer. Sampson
has reinforced Schley's fleet with some
of the best ironclads, the Iowa, for In

his overwhelming the Spaniards in

now be re-established in all of its old

Washington, May 31.-The military
invasion OF Cuba has begun. The def
mite location of Cervera's fleet, which,
SO far as it is an active force in war,
might as well be at the bottom of the
sea as bottled up in Santiago harbor,
has removed the only barrier to an
active and aggressive campaign. Twen-
ty-tive of the largest and swiftest
transports that could be gathered at
Tampa, Mobile and New Orleans have
been loaded with their human freight
and are we'll on their way to Cuba.
Their destination has not been an
nounced and will not be until land
ing is effected.
From the ports of embarkation the
troops, estimated to be about 10000,
proceeded direct to Key West, where
SIMPSONS powerful fleet awaited to
convoy them to landing place previ-
ously selected
1t is probable that there will be no
less than four separate military expe-
ditions, and that these will be landed
at four different points. Whether Por-
to Rico is one of these points or not
cannot be learned. Before the entire
force which it is proposed to use in
Cuba can be landed, the transports
must make four separate voyages
across the straits.
Arrangements have been made to
utilize the services of the insurgents to
the largest possible extent. The gov
ernment already has sent expeditions
toa large number of points on the is
land and landed arms for the insur-
gents. Most of the parties succeeded
perfectly in their object, and il is said
at the war department. that sufficient
number of the insurgents have been
armed to constitute a very effective
support for the troops as they land.

have hurriedly left Washington for

LEAVING GHICKAMAUGA.
Soldiers Cheered by News of Departure for
Tampa.

Chickamauga National Park, Ga,
May 31.-The greatest excitement pre-
vailed in Camp Thomas over the rumor
that general order had been issued to
all troops in camp here to proceed at
once to Tampa. Every man seemed to
be glad, and there was general hust-
ling about in the various camps, each
man acting as though he expected to
be ordered to pack his traps on the in
stant, to be ready to move to the
front.
The rumor proved to be only partly
true, eight regiments being affected by
an order from the war department, as
follows:
First Ohio. One Hundred and Fifty
Seventh Indiana, Third Pennsylvania,
and First Illinois, to be commanded by
Brigadier General Simon Snyder; Sec
ond New York, Sixty-ninth New York,
Fifth MARYLAND and First District of
| Columbia, under command of Brigadier
General Lewis II. Carpenter.
These regiments are ordered to pro-
ceed at once to Tampa, and the work k
of preparation began at once.
The regiments ordered out are re-
garded as the best equipped and most
thoroughly prepared of any in the
camp.
This order is regarded by the Off
GERS and men as an indication that {
speedy forward movement is to b'
made on Cuba and Porto Rico, and al
a consequence, there was as great re
ioicing among the volunteer soldiel
boys as there was among the regular
when they went to Tampa under th'
impression that they were going a
once to Cuba.
Orders for additional troops to fol
low are expected. Tampa will not b
long deserted.

BATTLE AT REMEDIES.
Insurgents Captured the Town and Held 1t
Two Hours.


Key West, May Intelligence has
been re ceived here from Cuba that a
portion of the army of General Gomez
consisting of 300 cavalry and 500 in
fantry, on Saturday at daylight, at
tackled, captured and held for two
hours the town of Remedies, in the
province of Santa Clara.
The Cubans.were under the command
of GARLIC and the object of the attack
was to capture supply of provisions
sent three days before to the Spanish
troops, who numbered 1000 men. The
Cubans looted the place of everything
edible, which they sent to General Go
mez, as well as 304 Mauser rifles and
sc, 900 rounds of ammunition.
The loss of the Cubans was four kill,
ed and three wounded. The Spaniards
lost thirty-two killed and sixty-three
wounded.
The tactics employed here are those
that have kept the insurgents provis
| ioned since the war began. They furi-
ously attack garrisoned outposts, and
by the suddenness and fierceness of the
onslaught gain temporary victory, re
plenish their ammunition and secure
provisions, only to retire from positions
the holding of which would only tal
their strength without any advantage

FROM CAPE HAYTI.
Fortifications Saidto Have Been Attacked
and the Harbor Entered.

and the Harbor Entered.
Cape Hayti, June 1.-Advices from
Havana say an engagement has taken
place between the Notifications lining
the channel leading to the harbor of
Santiago and twelve American war
ships. The Spanish fleet assisted the
forts. The firing was heavy, but as
the engagement progressed the firing
was directed more at the fleet and less
at the forts, which would indicate
that the latter were destroyed.
Punta Carda is well in the harbor
and having passed this there would
remain nothing but the Spanish feet
to be disposed of.
The cable was still working from
Santiago as late as 6:4o p. m, and pri-
vate messages indicate that there had
been serious fight. The advantage
appears to have been with the Amer
leans, but nothing tangible can be Sc
cured from Spanish sources.
According to one dispatch a battle
between the two fleets in the harbor
was in progress.
