side of the island. trusting to yellow fever
to fight them. Spain will then defend her
fortified places, but as Havana, under

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-Advices
from Honolulu, dated April 14th. just re-

A War Measure
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Members Of
the senate committee on foreign relations
are generally without information as to
the plans of the administration in Hawaii.
but some of them endorse the idea Of
securing the Pacific islands by seizure at
this time, in view of their strategic i'm
portance. Senator Davis, chairman OF
the committee, is among those who hold
this view. He said today that he consid-
cred that the United States would be en-
tirely justified in taking the islands in case
of war as war measure.
"They would" he said, "be necessary for
our own defense, and we would be 1ustt-
fled In their seizure at such time to prevent
their falling into the hands of our ene-
mics, to whom they would be invaluable.
What Is to prevent Spain sending cruiser

reasons 1 should endorse the taking pos

TROUBLE IN NEBRASKA.
Fight For Control of Legislature Will
be Very Bitter.

LINCOLN, NEB., Nov. 11.-Trouble ID
brewing in Nebraska and it promises
to be very serious. It is all over the
control Of the Legislature.
Chairman Gaffin, of the Populist
State Committee, said tonight that
while the returns indicate that the
Republicans had a majority OF three
in the Senate and the Populists two
In the House, he hoped for the cleo
ton of Senator Allen.
This statement is construed by the
Republicans to mean that II the Pop
ulists have q majority in the House
they will unseat enough Republicans
to secure a majority on joint ballot.
1t has angered Republicans and they
threaten that the Populists will never
be given control of the House.
Returns received at the Republican
headquarters show that So Republic
cans and Al Fusionists have been
elected to the lower house. These
are not official, and everyone is on
the anxious seat awaiting the official
returns. There is a possibility that
each party may have so members,
which would mean a deadlock and
prevent any organization or election
of Senator.
Both sides make charges of attempt
ed fraud and offer large rewards for
arrest end conviction of the perpe-
traitors. The Fusionists append to
their offer the declaration, "We have
carried the state and do not intend to
be cheated out of it. We have pos
tive information that we have elect
ed a majority of the Legislature and
will prosecute any man caught steal
ing q seat therein"
Returns have been received to-
night from all but five counties. This
gives Hayward, B., for Governor,
8 ,27s; Poynter, Fus., S2,S37. The
remaining counties will increaaePoy
ter's majority and this will carry
with it the entire Fusion state ticket.
