THURSTON SATISFIED
 WITH THE RESOLUTION

CHICAGO, July e-Commissioner Thurs ton of Hawaii passed through here to-day on his way to Honolulu, where he will re- port to his government and according to his own statement, retire from public life outside his own community.
 Speaking of the new situation created by the annexation resolution he said: "I am satisfied with the resolution and the commission which has been appointed to represent the United States and so far as know all my people are. It has been a long, hard fight of more than five years, but we felt this result must come some time. Since the beginning of the war we have been sure of success. The news will reach Hawaii on Thursday, though l, my self will not arrive there until a week from Wednesday. l have finished my work and am much gratified over the re- suit
 T do not know what the commission will do. but we hope for territorial form of government, with a delegate in Con- gress. We realize that we are unfitted for statehood and l do not expect to see it in my time although l hope 1t will come some day The people of this countr'' may never feel any uneasiness on that score. The territorial government will an- swer all purposes and be sufficient for our needs.
 "Our laws are modelled on those of the United States, and the commission will find but little to do locally. Our con- tract labor system, of course, will be overthrown and most of us are glad of it, but otherwise all the commission will find to do will be to make technical changes and provide for the extension of the service of the general government to the islands
 we hope to see Honolulu a great naval station, especially If the Philippines are retained. and for our own sake, we hope they will be. We have 800 troops of our own, and they are amply able to handle any local need that may arise. The coun- extremely DrOSnPrO1IE | believe there Is an excellent chance for men with money to embark in business
 there. The Americans will now have an 1 immense advantage"

LAST TO BE VANQUISHED
REACHED TO PREVENT USE
 LESS LOSS OF LIFE.
Cervera Made no Signals While at Sea, all Orders Having Been Given Before the
 Start.
Copyrighted, 1898. by the Associated Press.

GUANTANAMO, Julv $ (via the As sociated Press dispatch boat Cynthia), via Port Antonio and Kingston, Ja maica July 9.-Lieutenant Adolphus Kentros, the executive officer Of the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon, has written to Spain an official account of the movement of Admiral Cervera's s squadron in the fight.
 The Colon came out last at full s"eed, and tried to escape the Brooklyn and Oregon, but was compelled to beach sixty miles west of Santiago at 1:15 and not at 2 o'clock, as stated in Ad- miral Sampson's report. The transla- ton of the letter by Executive Officer Kentros is as follows:
 About g o'clock the squadron got un- der way, the ships one cables length distant from each other. At 9:30 o'clock the Infanta Maria Teresa cleared the entrance to the harbor without receiv- ing any fire until she had passed Fl Morro. The Vizcaya felt the fire when at the head of the entrance, as well as the Cristobal Colon, and 1t is certain that the Almirante Oquendo opened fire while within the channel.
 When clear of the entrance the CriS- tobal Colon went ahead at her maxi mum speed. The Infanta Maria Teresa, at 9:30 a. m., when hardly clear of the entrance, was seen to be on fire in her after part and a few minutes after ward was headed for the beach
 An hour later the Almirante Oquen- do was seen to be on fire, and she, too, was headed for the beach at the same point.
 'The Vizcaya and the Cristobal Colon continued the fight The former, about 10 o'clock, seeing herself overhauled by the Brooklyn, maneuvered as if to ram and without doubt at that moment must have received the projecttle that started the fire on her and she was seen to head for the beach in order to strand herself.
 "The Cristobal Colon alone remained staying the fire of the Brooklyn, the only ship within range, but a few mo- ments later she observed the Oregon closing up and later the same with the other ships.
 The projectiles of the Oregon began reaching us at 1 D. m., and that together with the fact that 1t was inn possible to fight with the after guns on account of the Colon's lack of large caliber pieces and the certainty of be- inG overhauled by the whole American squadron in a few hours, left no other remedy than to run ashore in order to avoid useless sacrifice of life.
 "The admiral made no signals while at sea, instructions for forcing the blockade having been -'ven the cap- tains at a meeting which took place on the morning of the previous day"

 Washington, July g.
 The President has appointed Senator Cullom of Illinois, Senator Morgan of Alabama, R -oresentatlve Hit of Illinois, Sanford Dole president of the Hawaiian republic and w. F. Frear of Hawaii. to be Commissioners under the provisions of the Hawaiian annexation resolution. he commission will lose no time in proceed ing to the islands to institute an investi- gation.
 The War Department has about com pleted arrangements for sending troops to Hawaii At a conference between the military authorities to-day it was deter mined to have Major General Otis leave San Francisco as soon as possible with about 1500 men, and estabush a garri- son at Honolulu. The First New York Volunteers, which left Chicago last night, en route for San Francisco. is slated for duty at Hawaii. The department consid- CTS the New York Regiment the most available force that can be got off in a hurry, and although they were sent West under orders to proceed to the Philip pines, the original instructions will un- doubtedly be cnanged
 The QuartermaSter general has secured the steamers Pennsylvania and Romania, which will be used to convoy the New Workers and probably one other regiment 10 11OnOlulu. bOLn OI these SIllpS are large and fast, and will be fitted up at San Francisco at once, so to be ready for departure upon the arrival of the New Yorg Regiment.
 It is possible that General Otis may be the first United States official to arrive at Honolulu, and to run up the Stars and Stripes there. It is generally under stood that Captain Wadleigh of the cruiser Philadelphia is to have this honor, but unless his ship leaves San Francisco very soon General Otis may beat him to Honolulu. lie First New York will prob ably remain at Hawaii until after the war, although it is possible that they may be relieved later on and sent to Ma nila. The condition of affairs in the Phil irnines, however, will determine this matter
 Congressman de Vries called on the ad- juuant general to-day, and urged that the Sixth California Regiment be sent to Honolulu. The adjutant general told him that General Otis would decide whether the First New York or Sixth California would be sent, but later in the day 1t was decided to send the New York Regi- np0t.

 Was Hurt

 OFF SANTIAGO, July (per the As sociated Press dispatch boat Cynthia, Port Antonio, Jamaica and Kingston, July 9, noon).-The shore batteries about Santiago have not capitulated, as is evidenced by the Indiana receiv- ing Spanish compliment in the shape of a bomb from mortar on the night of July 4.

There was no panic and the officers and crew quietly extinguished the fire which resulted

A man who was wanted i'm two cour

A man who was wanted in two coun- ties of Kansas for grand larceny was arrested in Fort Scott the other day and bound over in the sum of $500 for his appearance at that place. The au- thorities of the other county provided the bail for the prisoner and took him to St. Paul for trial. The chances are strongly in favor of his being convicted and sent to the penitentiary; and the query has arisen as to how. in that event, the county would escape pay ment of the Fort Scott bond.
