The Exodous from Santiago.

SIBoNEY, Cuba, July Sit is esti-
mated that fully $4,000 non-combatants
and foreign residents are leaving Santi-
ago in anticipation of the bombardment
of that town. The bombardment is ex-
pected to begin as soon all are safely
out. They are making their way to 6
place of safety through the American
lines, and the English people coming
out express hearty wishes for our sue
cess though the bombardment will re-
suit in heavy losses to them. A great
deal of fear is expressed by the military
medical authorities at Siboney of in.
lection caused by the influx of refugees.
In view of the fact that there are be-
tween 600 and 700 surgical cases of our
own wounded in the hospitals it is sug'
gested that a rigid quarantine should
be established against Santiago refugees.
Surgeon General Pope will be asked to
taxed steps to prevent refugees from
entering Bsiquiri and Sibony.
Families fleeing from Santiago re.
ported that the troops supposed to be
Psndo's were the garrisons from Cuab-
tas, Bonato, and San Vincente, which
stations were abandoned by the Span
iards after the attack by the Cubans.

AS THERE is no doubt that the
President will approve his own resolu-
ton for the annexation of the Sand
witch Islands, those islands are now part
aud parcel of the United States. The
only remarkable thing about this is the
fact that the resolution received the
support of some democrats in both
branches of Congress. As this is a
government controlled by the majority
of the Congress, backed by the Presi'
dent, the annexation will go and so
also will that of the Philippines and
Cuba and Porto Rico, but for how long,

Blanco'S Manifesto.

HAVANA, july I, via London.-Cap-
tain General Blanco has ISSUED the
following manifesto on the subject of
the destruction of Admiral Cervera's
squadron
ITO the inhabitants OF Cuba: Not al
ways does fortune follow valor. The
Spanish squadron commanded by Adj
miral Cervera has just performed what
is probably the greatest act of neroism
10 the annals of the Spanish navy dur.
ing the present century. Fighting
against an American force of thrice its
strength, the squadron persisted glori-
ously at the very moment when we
thought it saved from the danger which
menaced it in Santiago harbor. The
blow is heavy, but it would be beneath
the dignity of the Spanish arms to fall
ter in the defence Of our just cause even
before this disaster"

THE SPANISH PRISONERS.

Admiral Cervera and eighty officers
of his sunken ships left Santiago yes.
terday on the auxiliary cruiser St.
Louis, as prisoners of war.

ried out. The commissioned officers,
from Admiral Cervera down to the en-
signs, will be sent to Fort Warren. Bos-
ton harbor, where they will be turned
over to the army for safe-keeping.
1t is reported in Washington that
Cervera and his officers are to be pa
rolled by direction Of President McKin-
ley.
They will be allowed many privileges
and ii they express q desire to spend
their captivity at any particular place
the favor will be granted. The U. S.
government will pay all their expenses.

HAWAIIAN NNEXATION.

After fifteen days OF debate the Sem
ate yesterday passed without amend
ment the Newlands joint resolution
providing for the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands to the United States,
by a vote OF - to 81. This measure
passed the House on June 10, and
and when it receives the signature of
the President of the United States and
is officially transmitted to the govern
ment of the republic Of Hawaii, which
has heretofore signitied its consent to
be annexed, the Hawaiian Islands will
be part of the territory of the United
States, and this country will be in pos
session of their first colony.
The treaty proposition was abandon
ed by the Senate after months of de-
bate in executive session because it
could not receive the requisite two
thirds majority and the exact wording
of the treaty was put into the form OF
a Joint resolution and introduced in the
House. The resolution passed that
body after debate OF five days by a
vote of 209 to 81. 1t then went to the
Senate.
An amendment was submitted by Mr..
Bacon providing that the annexation
resolution should not be putin force until
it had been consented to by majority
of the voters and electors in the islands.
That amendment was lost.
The wishes of the natives of Hawaii
have not been consulted, and they will
be ''ennexed" along with their ialands,
regardless OF any feeling they may have
in the matter.
Hawaii is to be part of the United
States, held perhaps as Alaska is, ar d
within the tariff wall. Itssugar, grow n
by Chinese cheap labor, is to compete
with Louisiana sugar on equal terms.
About 100000 are added to this coun-
trv's population, all but some six or
sight thousand Being chinese, japanese,
Portuguese and Ksnakas, and this
government assumes a public debt Of
over 81 100000.

Spain at Madrid with dynamite. Sew.
eral men were arrested for alleged
completely in the plot, and one of them.
Alexandra Argorano, was confined is

are still under arrest. 1t is believed,
however, that the bomb was placed by
adherents of Don Carlos, who wished
to expedite his accession to the throne
by the destruction of either the boy
king, Alphonso, or his mother, the
Queen Regent. Hints were dropped o.
an anarchistic plot, but the Carlst

Rumors ola Ministerial Crisis.

MADRID, July AT o'clock last
evening the Duke of Tetuan, after con.
ferring with the Queen Regent, visited
Gen. Weyler and was joined by Senior
Robeldo. The three held conference
of great political importance, which
was prolonged until a late hour.
Rumors OF ministerial crisis are afloat
and the ministry will possibly be forced
to resign. 1t is regarded as probable
that q ministry under Martinez Campos
will be formed within week.
The government this morning per-
mtted the publication of the following:
A dispatch from Captain General Blanco
says that terrible combat has taken
place between the Spanish and Aneri-
cen squadrons, with the result that six
hundred men OF the crews of the six
Spanish ships engaged were killed.
Among the dead is Admiral Villamil,
Cervera's chief OF staff. Captain Lazsga,
commander of the Almirante Oquendo,
committed suicide. Admiral Cervera,
Captain Concas, of the Infapta Maria
Teresa, and Captain Eulate, OF the
Vizcaya, are wounded. The American
sailors respected the arms OF the prison
ers, who exceed one thousand in num-
Der.
MADRID, July 1T is denied in Of
fetal circles that there is ministerial
crisis. The ministers declare that the
present circumstances oblige them TO
remain at the post of honor. Neverthe-
less the prospects of Campos-PoIavie-
ia Cabinet increase to the exclusion of
Senior Sivela's candidature. In an in
terview General Weyler said that the
situation was serious, but not desperate
If an energetic policy in harmony with
the national and military aspirations
was adopted. The Government has de-
cided to make another attempt to land
provisions and war stores in Cuba and
Porto Rico, employing fast steamers for
the purpose.

THURSDAY EVENING, JULY :, 1888

EVERY American, and, only natural
ly, is grati6ed at the destruction OF the
Spanish fleets with so little loss OF
American life; but, in view of the dis
parity of the two navies, it would have
been wonderful if the result had been
different. While, therefore, all the
citizens of this country are thankful for
it, as they should be for all other ia
vors, many of them fail to see the res-
son for setting apart special day for a
public expression of their thanks. Ia
deed, iubilation over the defeat OF such
q weak power as Spain, on sea or land,
by the United States, seems to be in
as bad taste as would be that OF giant
over the discontinue OF pigmy.

Or ALL THE women on the lost
steamer Bourgogne, only one was
saved, though one hundred and sixty
two men were. Aud yet there are people
who live amidst the beatitudes OF opti-
mism, who say the days OF chivalry
have not passed. Why, such evidence
of the total absence of ordinary
human regard for the weaker sex, and OF
the absorbing desire of so many men TO
save their own lives, even though those
of women were lost in the attempt,
could not have been equaled among
pagans and savages. Life is sweet, but

nnfs

THOSE of the Spanish prisoners turn
ed over by the Americans to the Cuban
insurgents were murdered as soon as
the American soldiers were out OF
sight. Which:was just as expected by
all who know anything at all about the
character of the insurgents, in whose
behalf the war was undertaken, for
humanity's sake. The crimes COM
mitted in the name of humanity are
almost as numerous as those perpe-
trated in that OF liberty. The result OF
the war, so far at least, has increased
our respect for the Spaniards, and, were
that possible, decreased the little we
had for the insurgents.
