HAW Vail WITH US.
President Dole Offers President Nc.
Kinley Any Aid Possible in the
War With Spain.

Honolulu, April IL, via San Fran
cisco, May President Dole has sent
a long communication to President Nc
Kinley, Offering to transfer the Ha-
waiian Islands to the United States for
the purpose of its war with Spain, and
to furnish the American ships of wal
in Pacific waters with large quantities
of coal, supplies and ammunition. This
action was taken after a secret confer
ence of the Hawaiian Cabinet.
Washington. May 4.-Senator Frye
speaking of the report from Honolulu
said that he hoped the President would
accept the offer by President Dole.
Members OF the Senate interpret the
report to indicate a willingness to form
an alliance with this country. They say
that for the Hawaiian Islands to have
held aloof and insisted upon remain
ing neutral would have been equivalent
to refusing coal or granting any cour-
tesies to the United States during the
war and that the action now taken will
put the islands in the way of doing this
country any favor possible.

Mt. Gretna, Pa, May 4.-The formal

when Gen. Gobin's regiments, compris-
ing the Third brigade. were successive

London, May 1.-THE Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph
saws: Those who are best informed
as to the governments view allege
that if the Spanish arms suffer an
other reverse like that at Cavite,
the government would informally
request the great powers TO leno
their services to arrange the best
possible terms of peace. Many
Liberals consider that Spain, hav-
ing maintained her honor and JUS
titled her chivalry, can now afford
to yield to superior forces, but 1t IS
doubtful whether public opinion
would approve this line of action.
l am assured that the government
would be content to cede Cuba to
the United States, but would not
pay indemnity, because unable.
Well informed politicians here re-
gard the war as practically termln-
ated. and that toward the end OF
Nav it will become history. What
will follow, however, it is difficult
TO foresee. All the elements of
long civil war in Spain are unfor-
tunately becoming visible. The
government and the Liberal party
are popularity hated as being re-
sponsible for the war. The Repub-
licans possess no durable chances
of success. The Conservatives and
Carlists are the great parties of the
future: and some of the Conserva-
tive groups are gravitating toward
Carlism. Terrible things are not
at all unlikely to happen in Spain,
and right here in Madrid very soon.
The public has been most industr1-
ouslv deceived by the government
ever since the first indications of
trouble came upon the horizon.
The people have been led to pc
lieye the Yankees would not and
could not fight, that their navy was
of paper, their soldiers and sailors
drunken. undisciplined and unsklll-
ed. and that all Spain had to do
was TO send a fleet over the At
lantic. take the seaboard cities ana
end the war. at the same time COM
pelling the United States to pay
such an enormous indemnity as
would put Spain upon her feet i'm
ancially. Since war was declared.
the government has caused it TO be
published that Spanish fleets had
gone to America. that the fleet in
Philippines was invincible and that
everything was progressing finely.
Since the reverses at Manila. the
government has choked off the
newspapers and has in every pos
sible way minimized the defeat
and glorified the defense made by
the Spanish crews. The truth is
slowly getting to the public, and
the demonstrations Of disapproval
and lack of confidence in the gov

AN ELABORATE CELEBR IS
OF the Twenty-Fifth Ami ~Ho~of the
Elevation Of Archbishop an Begun
in New York Yesterdp


New York, May since the lay
Cathedral, in 1863. mas there been a
celebration among Roman Catholics Of
this country equal in ceremony and
magnificence to that began to-day to
celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary
Of the elevation to the episcopate of the
Most Rev. Michael Augustine Corrigan.
There was pontifical high mass at
ten O'Clock this morning at the Cathe-
dral, the silver chimes were running
for the first time, and there was pro-
cession OF notable Catholic clergymen
with a guard of honor OF 500 cadets.
Every clergyman taking part in the
mass was a dignitary of the church
I he papal delegate, Archbishop Mar
tinelli, was present. A grand orches-
ira, selected singers and enlarged
chorus supplied the music. A certifi-
cate of cancellation for the debt of
$500, 900 on the Dunwoodie Seminary,
conceived and begun by the Arch
bishop, was handed to him, it having
been raised by popular subscription in
few months.
The clergymen for the mass were
chosen to represent every year of the
Bishops episcopate The vestments
were made of cloth of silver and en-
broidery of gold, surprising in magni-
fkence the remarkable vestment al
ready at ST. Patrick's vestry some OF
which cost $1,000 piece.
A grand banquet followed the pom
tifical mass, attended by 500 priests.
Tomorrow there will be a service at
the Cathedral by 5000 children, and to
end two days celebration there will
be a demonstration in honor of the
Archbishop at the Metropolitan Opera
House by the laity.
The Cathedral was superbly decorat-
ed. lOne feature attracting attention
was an electric illumination immedi-
ately over the grand altar. 1t consist
ed of the words Ecce Saceredes Mag
nus, (behold the great priest), with an
Illuminated mitre over it. Shields in
heraldic colors of the dioceses of Brook
Ign, Trenton, Newark, Albany, Ro-
chester, Buffalo and Syracuse were
placed at the sides of the grand altar.

eminent is the result These feel
ings are growing. Fostered by pO-
litlcal malcontents and self-serv-
ers, and another reverse for the
Spanish arms will surely bring
eminent. Don Carlos could, under
such conditions, seize the crown,
and in spite of his oft-repeated as
sertion that he will not take adj
vantage of state of affairs created
by foreign war, few believe his
patriotism sound enough to induce
him to refuse a crown, particularly
when the masses of the people be-
lieve he would be working out
SPANS salvation by assuming the
throne. e.
A late telegram from Madrid
says the government feels now that
it can no longer rely on the army.
According to dispatches from
Brussels, Don Carlos declares he
will not provoke a revolutionary
movement On the contrary, he
will prevent CarIist agitation while
war continues.
At Madrid, public attention CEN
tered again to-day In the lower
house of the cortes. There was a
repetition of tie great crowds of
yesterday, the police and civic
guards, besides the secret police,
mingling with the people.
The galleries Of the house were
packed and many ladies were pres
ent. Many prominent senator's oc-
cupied seats beside deputies on the
floor of the chamber.
Senior Reverter, minister of
finance in the ConovaS ministry,
and the hero of the exscommunica-
ton incident last autumn, defended
the memory and policy Of Senor
Conovas.
In the course of the debate a for

the old Conservatives to support
the government while the present
situation continues.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle says:
The idea of the resignation of the

averting the anti-dynastic move
ment and saving the throne. An
exchange of ideas on the subject is
going on between the queen re-
gent and her Austrian family, but
its most influential members are
decidedly opposed.

is growing impression in official
quarters that the Spanish Queen
and government favor some ar
rangement to lead to an early end
