ARE LOST TO SPAIN.
Senator Hanna Makes Some ImpOr-
tant Statements Concerning the
Philippine Islands.

Cleveland, o., Oct. 1.-The Leader has
from its Washington correspondent the
following interview with Senator Hanna
concerning the Philippine question,
which is believed to represent the views
of President Mckinley:
''I do not know what the instructions
given TO our peace commissioners are, but
so far as concerns the negotiations which
will be Instituted in Paris, ! can see no
other result than that Spain will have 10
relinquish her sovereignty over not only
Luzon island, but the entire Philippine
archipelago. Spain has no reason 10 expect
10 be able 10 retain any portion OF the
group. She went into the war and lost,
and now ought 10 be prepared TO suffer the
consequences which such a defeat implies.
l regard the Philippines as lost TO Spain,
and that being a foregone conclusion, in
my opinion, the problem which next con-
fronts US relates 70 the form OF govern
ment which We will give the islands.
When the Philippine question first pre-
sented itself there was stronC sentiment
among conservative, far-seeing and think
ing men in this country which favored the
retention by the United States OF merely
naval base and coaling station In the
islandS-this base presumably being Manila
and the bay contiguous thereto. Since
then, however. this sentiment apparently
has undergone very marked change, and
now II appears that for the most part
these same men, who at first believed We
should occupy Manila alone, are advocat-
ing the termination Of Spanish rule in the
whole group
What will be the ultimate fate OF the
Islands is. Of course. a problem Of the fu-
ture. Whether the Philippines will be-
come an Independent nation or a colony OF
the United States. or whether a longtime
American protectorate will be established
Will be a subject for congress to decide.
1t is well understood that Spain must abide
by the verdict Of our peace commissioners,
whatever that may prove TO be, for she
is in no fit condition 10 renew the conflict
which has resulted so disastrously 10 her"

Savannah, Ca, Oct. 3.-For Is hours,
from three o'clock Sunday morning un-
til six o'clock al night, Savannah was
in the grasp of West Indian cyclone.
During that time the wind blew stead
lily from 50 TO 10 miles an hour. While
the city escaped with comparatively lit
tie damage, the loss of property among
the Sea islands of the Georgia and
South Carolina coasts is believed to be
heavy :.
For eight miles north of SAVANNAH
the entire country is lake with only
the hammocks visible. At noon the
water was eight feet above the highest
tide. Driven on shore by the north
east storm it filed up on the islands,
swept over banks and dams, carrying
away the remnant of the rice crop
that was left by the August storm and
had not been gathered and wiping out
farm crops. The loss to river growers
alone will be from $4,000 to $4,000.
