annul, is continued in force. The
present Hawaiian legislature, Of
course, disappears. While there is
no express declaration to that effect
in the resolutions, it necessarily fol-
lows from the fact that all legisla-
tive authority over the islands in
matters great and small, is by tho
act of annexation and absorption
vested exclusively in Congress.
cit is clear that no legislative
powers are given to the five COM
missioners, but only the power to
recommend legislation to Congress.
cit would be an extreme construc-
tion of the power conferred upon
the President to designate the per-
son or persons in whom the civil,
judicial, and military powers exer-
cised by the officers of the existing
government shall be vested, to say
that the President may appoint a
Legislature, as we'll as court and a
governor, and may unite all these
functions in one person. Still, as
the United States Court OF Appeals
say in the Alaska case, acquired
territory, such as Hawaii, is not sub
ject TO the Constitution, NOR to its
complex distribution OF the powers
of government as the organic law
Executive orders may take the place
OF legislative acts. The provisional
government OF Hawaii as arranged
for by republican congress, APP
pears to be the most perfect type Of
an absolute monarchy on the face of
the earth. Hawaii has no constitu-
tional status. 1t is the mere creation
and offspring OF legislative caprice,
turned over, Professionally, to exec
utive discretion to nurse, absolutely
without legal restrictions or consti-
tutional guides or safeguards of any
kind or description. Is this the
first fruit OF imperialism7"-Amer

A Warship's Flags.

Before a man. of-war is completely
equipped she must be supplied with
a varied assortment of the flags of
all nations. The flag lockers of a
cruiser like the New York will con-
tain more than 200 different designs.
All the flags for our navy are made
in the equipment building at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. The floor of
the fagroom is covered with lines
representing the exact measure
ments of the various ensigns, and it
is no easy matter to turn out flag
which will be exactly according to
pattern, both as to design and
measurements. There are eight
colors used in fags-red, white,
blue, orange, yellow, green, brown,
black and canary yellow. The
canary yellow is used instead OF
white in flags for signalling. This
is because it is found that, when sig
Mailing at distance, white ground
blends with the horizon and be-
comes almost invisible. The largest
American flag made is called No. l.
1t measures 34.S6 feet in length and
1912 feet 10 breadth, and is very
rarely used. The size called No. 2,
which is considerably smaller, is the
one generally used by warships.
Cruisers carry the Stars and Stripes
in seven different sizes, but only the
Minneapolis and the Detroit fly the
gigantic No. l. The most difficult
flag to make is that of San Salvador.
This flag requires all the colors, and
Costa RIGA runs it close, requiring
all but brown. Our own flag is by
no means an easy one to make. The
forty-four stars in their blue field
have to be accurately arranged, and
the stripes automatically exact &C.
cording to the official pattern. The
stars are made OF muslin, folded
twenty. five times and punched out
by steel punch, which cut dozen
or more stars at each operation.
There are used annually in the navy
yard $4,000 yards of bunting, which
is all made in the United States
Exchange.

SPAIN IS NEARLY READY TO QUIT

Madrid, July 10-Noon.-Informati
received from the most reliable sources
is TO the effect that the darkest pes
simism pervades Madrid officialdom. The
hopelessness of the war is finally recog-
nized. and the peace idea now seems to
predominate in the cabinet and the ne
gotiations are considered urgent. The
cabinet is likely to cohere until the
peace is secured.
1t is now recognized that Santiago de
Cuba is completely beleaguered and
cannot hold out. owing to the lack OF
provisions and munitions of war. 1t is
considered certain that the Americans
will blockade Cuban and Porto Rican
ports. cutting off their supplies. while
the authorities are convinced that an
American feet is coming to the penin-
sula- There is no confidence felt that
the powers will interfere, even IL the de-
fenseless seaports are bombarded. and
therefore what measures OF defense are
possible are being made.

Antonio and Kingston. July 10. noon
Captain Clark of the United States
battleship Oregon, which did such re-
markablo work at the naval battle that
resulted in the destruction of Admiral
Cervera's squadron. says in his official
report of the engagement to Rear Ad-
miral Sampson:
''The Spanish fleet turned to the west
ward and opened fire. to which our
ships replied vigorously. For a short
time there was an almost continuous
flight of projectiles over the ship, but
where our line was fairly engaged the
enemy's fire became defective. AS soon
as 1t was evident that the enemy's ships
were trying to break through and es-
cape to the westward We went ahead az
full speed with the determination OF
carrying out to the utmost your in
structions: If the enemy tries to es-
cape the ships must close and engage
him as soon as possible and endeavor
to sink his vessels or force them to
run ashore
I'VE soon passed all of our vessels

only the main battery. but when IL was
discovered that the enemy's torpedo
boats were following the ships we used
our rapid fire guns. as well as the six
inch guns, upon them, with telling ef-
feet.
"As We ranged up near the stern
most of their ships she headed for the
beach, evidently on fire. We remarked
her as We passed, making for the next

only the Cristobal Colon was left,
and for a time il seemed as IL she might
escape. But when we opened with our
forward turret guns. and the Brook
lyn followed. the Colon began to edge
in toward the coast. and her destruction
was assured. As she struck the beach
her flag went down.
The Brooklyn sent a boat to her. and

No Fear of Successful Sortie by the
Spaniards.
Washington, July 10.-The news of
the bombardment came at the close of
a busy Sunday in the war department.
Previous to the receipt of this dispatch,
the secretary of war had heard twice
from General Shafter. In the early
morning came a telegram saying that
he had ridden over the American lines
and was gratified at their condition. A
second dispatch read that the lines were
impregnable, thus removing any fear of
a successful sortie by the Spanish
troops should the maneuver of this kind
be attempted. Both kilograms, which
also emphasized the fact that General
Skaters condition had greatly i'm
proved. were shown to the president and
occasioned him considerable gratifica-
ton.
When questioned as to whether he be-
lieved there had been a bombardment
of the city, General Corbin replied:
"You know as much about it as do.
have kept nothing back. should say,
however. that the firing was but the
preliminary to the more serious business
Of tomorrow"
This being the case. the attempt to
take the city will probably be made to-
day.

Carlists and republicans causes anxiety.
A mysterious. black-edged. unsigned
manifesto appeared in the leading
squares of Madrid to-day Sunday
bearing the municipal stamp and
headed GLORIA Victis." with an angel
supporting a dead, naked soldier. The
manifesto contains an eloquent appeal
from Spanish mothers. calling for the
regeneration of the country on the basis
of the army and crying Down with
bribed politicians and a bought press"
Four million copies of this manifesto
have been distributed throughout Spain
and it was attracting considerable at
tention.
The whole Of Admiral Camara's s
squadron. with the exception of the Pc
layo and the San Augustin, which are
waiting at Port Said for a transfer OF
coal. is now en- route for Spain.

IT Is TIME FOR PEACE.

Paris. July 1o.-The Madrid. CORES
pondent of Temps says: The end Is i'm
patiently awaited. even the government
no longer attempting to disguise its con-
viction that after the fall of Santiago
the time will have come for thinking
about peace. especially as all the Euro
pean chancellors advise this course. The
meetings that are being held at Bay
onne. in the province of Navarro. and
along the Pyrennian frontier greatly
disturb the ministry. The partisans of
Don Carlos are making no secret of their
intention to rise IL the terms upon which
peace is conducted should entail a loss
Of territory. General Blanco cables that
1t will be impossible for reinforcements
to reach Santiago in time TO aid in the
defense. the duration OF which will de-
pend upon the supply of food and am
munition unless the garrison attempts a
desperate sortie.

WAR PRACTICALLY ENDED.

London, July 10.--A special dispatch
from Madrid says: The fall of Santiago
will convince the most sanguine of the
hopelessness of the struggle, and will
give the government the desired oppor-
tunity to arrange for an armistice for
the decision of terms. Circumstantial
statements all indicate that the war is
ended and that peace negotiations have
practically been opened. A detailed ac-
count has been published Of Spain's ma
val losses-twenty-one warships and
twenty-one merchantmen. as against
practically no losses on the American
side. This tends to convince the most
rabid war advocate and. as for a long
time past. the whole commercial and in
dustrial interests Of Spain are bringing
strong influence TO bear In favor Of
peace.
Every day that passes without dis
turbance strengthens the peace party.
It is believed, however. that there is a
strong undercurrent in favor OF con-
tinuing the war and the attitude Of the

Washington, July 10-The lombard
ment of Santiago has begun. That was
the information obtained this evening
shortly before 8 o'clock at the war de-
partment. Almost Immediately three
bulletins were posted, the most i'm
portant of which was from General
Shafter. This dispatch announced that
General Toral, who succeeded General
Linares in command of the Spanish
forces in Santiago when the latter was
wounded, declined to surrender. and
that the bombardment of the town
would be begun by the army and navy
about o'clock this afternoon. The
fact that the bombardment was sched-
ulcd by Shafter to begin so late in the
day created some comment, but no ex-
PLANTATION of it was offered. In answer
to questions bearing upon that move
ment General Corbin said:
Il have not the slightest information
as to the reasons General Shafter had
for beginning the bombardment at the
hour he named, but it was probably
because he was ready just at that
time. You can speculate about that as
well as / can"
Information received by the war de-
partment during the few days truce in
dicates that he has materially strength
ened his position. During the past week
he has received reinforcements of both
artillery and infantry. Randolph's bat
terry of twenty-four guns, which left Key
West last Tuesday at midnight, is now
in operation before Santiago, and as one
of the war department officials expressed
it: when those long Toms of Randolph
begin to talk something will happen in
Santiago"
General Shafter has nearly fifty siege
guns and a large number of six-inch
mortars, besides light artillery. at his
disposition. These guns, taken in con-
nection with the work that will be done
by the fleet. will. it is expected, carry
terror and destruction to Santiago.
Anxiety has beeen expressed by the
war department officials as to whether
General Shafter had a sufficient force
to prevent the evacuation of Santiago by
the enemy. This anxiety was alayed
about 1890 o'clock tonight by the re-
ceipt of a dispatch from General Shaf-
ter, which contained information of the
earlier reports of the beginning of the
bombardment.
The belief held by thc best informed
officers is that General Toral. the Span
ish commander, will surrender when he
finds it will be impossible for him to
evacuate the city. Upon what grounds
this belief is based could not be ascer-
tained, but that informatlon to that ef-
feet lis in the hands Of The war officials
there is no doubt.
General Skaters dispatch, they say,
shows he is now engaged in strength
ening his position and tomorrow will
follow up his operations with final as
sault on the city.
