with the least expense, seems to be to
finish Off the storeroom and engine
room at the rear of Representatives
Hall, connecting Them with corri-
dor, from a door near the speakers
chair. Several other plans have been
discussed, but this one seems easiest
and best. In this way the symmetry
of the buildings would not be marred.
These buildings at the rear are at
present of little use except for stor-
age purposes. The need of better ac-
commodations for the officers of the
House has slong been apparent, and
plans for their relief have previously
beendiscussed. Plans and specifica-

probably be made within the next

Postmaster General Emory Smith
stated recently that the United States
domestic postal service wonld be ex-
tended to the Hawaiian Islands as
soon as the flag is raised there. The
details have not yet been worked out,
but it has been determined to make
as few changes as possible in the
present Hawaiian system for the time
being. The regular postal rates will
apply to all points within the islands,
but it is question whether the ordi-
nary rates will prevail for mail trans
ported by vessels. 1t may be neces-
sary on account of the long voyage
to increase the rates slightly. AS the
Hawaiian stamps will be replaced, it is
possible a large Office will be estab-
lished a Honolulu or some other city
for the sale of stamps and money ord.

INVASION OF PORTO RICO.

An invasion of Porto Rico is now to
be made by an army under the COM
mand of Major General Miles. The
army left Cuba last Saturday on board
the transports, conveyed by battle
ship and several cruisers, which will
look alter the enemy should they at

they will also assist in the taking o.

General Miles is to be better supplied
with artillery than was General Shaf
ter, and he will be we'll equipped in
every way to make a successful ad-
vance upon the Spanish strongholds
on the island. The climate will be
bad but the care that is being
taken will save his army from very
great ravages by disease. The gen

likely to make it uncomfortable for
the Sp aniards wherever he is The
Spanish army in Porto Rico is esti-
mated at from tweuty to thirty thous-
and, and is well entrenched and pre-
pared to give battle but with the help
of the fleet which is to accompany
him. Gen. Miles will, it is thought,
endeavor to force quick capt. ulation
of the Spanish forts, He will be
obliged to capture and occupy several
cities on the island before he can con-
troll all of the territory. His first at
tack will be ma de on San Juan, where
a large part of the Spanish army is
stationed. This city is well fortified,
and can only be taken by an attack
from land and sea. He will land his
forces near this place and advance
