we win Have to Annex Hawaii, Now

The sending of the invading expedi-
tions to the Philippines will affect the
Hawaiian question vitality. Like the
cruiser Charleston, the transports
which carry troops must stop at Hawaii
TO replenish their coal bunkers. If the
Hawaiians let us take this coal with
out the preteXt that we are using il to
make our way to our nearest home
port, as is required by international
law in such cases, they will stand con-
victed of "A gross breach of neutrality
that, in the eyes of the law of nations,
allies them with the United States in
hostility to Spain. The taking of coal
by the American ships at Hawaii to
make an extensive campaign against
the Spanish possessions will undoubt-
edly result in compelling the United
States either to assume a protectorate
over the islands or to annex them.

Just how far below the water line the
cruiser Is damaged could not be ascer-
tanned. As soon as the vessel came to
anchor, the captain and crew OF tho
Foscolia went ashore. The captain and
crew left at once for New York, to re-
port to the agents OF the company to
which the vessel belonged. No one
was allowed to go on board the Column
bal, but to representative of the
press, the officer Of the deck made the
following statement:
About 1870 P. NJ. yesterday, the
British steamship Foseolia, in COM
mand of Captain John Evans, collded
with our vessel during dense fog. We
were then about eight miles southwest
OF Fire island. We lowered two life
boats and rescued the captain and crew
numbering 81 all told. We stood by
until the Foscolia sank at 3 O'Clock
this morning. AS soon as we arrived
here, we sent the rescued men ashore
Further information in reference to
the accident cannot give"
About O'Clock one of the navy-yard
tugs steamed alongside the cruiser and
delivered some messages from Rear
Admiral Runce, cOmmandant Of the
navy-yard at Brooklyn. A few minutes
later, the Columbia headed for the
Brooklyn navy-yard, where it is sup
posed she will be drydocked in order to
ascertain the full extent of her injuries.

WILL TAKE PORTO RICO.
Sampson Has Been Ordered to Move OF
the Island.

Chicago, May ga special to the
News from Washington says: Porto
Rico is to be taken. The president has
decided that Sampson shall move i'm
mediately on that island, while Schley
guards Cervera. At least 10000
troops will be sent, and another army
is at the same time to enter Cuba, the
plans now being ready.
From cabinet officer it is learned
that the haste in ordering troops and
ships to Porto Rico is owing to the fact
that the president has leaned that the
powers are preparing to ask that Spain
be permitted to withdraw from Cuba
and allow peace to be declared. This
intimation came direct from Europe.
The president wants to be able to say,
eyes, Spain may withdraw. That's
why we made war; but we will hold
Porto Rico and the Philippines !"
Without dissenting voice, the cabinet
decided that the greatest possible haste
should be made in the invasion.

to the war-revenue bill bearing directly
upon the subject. Lodges amendment

Port An Prince, May 31.-Two Ital-
ians, who set out from Santiago de Gu
ba in small boat May 10 and landed
near Mole St. Nicholas on the 22d, ar
rived here today, bringing information
as to the situation at Santiago. The
state of affairs there is critical, partic-
ularly SO because of the lack of food.
A great many Of the unfortunate peo-
pie, especially the commentaries, are
dying of starvation. The whole popu-

keenly DESTROYS of peace.
The arrival OF the squadron under

city deepened the general dependency.
The squadron has disem barked 500 ar

10000 Mauser rifles, "a great quantity
OF ammunition and four big guns des-
tined for the Notifications.
In spite of the strict silence main
tained by officers and crews, the gen.

was that the squadron would set out
for San Juan de Porto Rico to obtain
supplies and land ammunition there.

ington.
Washinton, May 2S.-Sccretary AL.
ger and General Miles today conferred
with two officers from the staff OF GEN
eral Garcia, General Coloazo and Lieu
tenant Charles Hernandez, who came
direct from Garcia's headquarters, bear
ing credentials from him to perfect a
plan OF cooperation with the American
forces. They accompanied Lieutenant
Rowan, of the United States army, on
his return from Garcia's camp at Bay
amo, In Central Cuba, and shared with
him the danger of two days journey
in an open boat from the coast of Cuba.
They reported first to the Cuban dele
CATION here, and Secretary Quesada was
careful to keep their presence secret
until General Miles had made the fact
known.
Lieutenant Hernandez says his head
quarters at Bayamo, with a body-guard
of several hundred men, are quartered
in the city. The infantry and cavalry
are quartered In the suburb of South
Bayamo. In all, about 5000 men are
thus quartered. They are we'll armed
with Remington and Mausers, captured
from the Spaniards. Most of them
have machets, but only the officers
carry other small arms. The cavalry
have small horses, much like the Indian
mustangs, hardy and reliable.
Hernandez gays communication is
maintained with General Gomez and
with points along tho coast. From
this he has general idea of the forces
outside of those with General Garcia
at Bayamo. He estimated that there
are IL, 900 men, all of whom are we'll
armed, east of la trocha, and constitut-
ing the forces in the eastern division II
the island under Garcia. These in.
clude the 5000 at Bayamo, the others
being scattered at various points. He
estimated General Gomez immediate
command at about 5000 men, with
5000 men scattered at various points.
In all there are, according to Coloazo
and Hernandez, about 20, 900 to $4,000
troops
1t Is understood the visit of Garcia's
officers is to give general assurance to
the authorities here Of Garca's desire
to give every possible cooperation to
the American movements. Similar
assurances have come from General
Gomez, and have been presented by
Quesada. The Cuban officers have
made good impression here, and the
authorities were agreeably surprised to
find them men of ability and sound,
soldierly bearing, speaking English
