General Segura is an intelligent and
honest fighter, and is wholly disguised

gunpowder in greeting autonomy than
in fighting insurgents and adds that, in
his opinion, Cuba is lost to Spain unless

General Pando's campaign along the

FRIENDS OF HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION
MORE HOPEFUL.
Situation in China Largely Responsible
for the Improved Prospects of the
Treaty-First Move Made
in the senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. q. Senator Davis,
chairman of the senate committee on
foreign relations, gave notice to the sen"
ate that he would call up the Hawaiian
annexation treaty in executive session
on Monday next, and ask the senate to
consider it each day thereafter until
the treaty should be disposed Of
Before the senate convened friends OF
the treaty did some pretty active work,
which was continued for some time
after the session opened. Supporters
of the treaty are very hopeful OF secur-
ing the go votes necessary to ratlfy.
The Republicans will stand unit. In
this category are Senators Hoar and
Morrill,, who have been leaning against
annexation. 1t is claimed the Populists
will be divided. The majority OF the
Democrats are against ratification.
As has already been stated in these
dispatches, there is no doubt whatever
that the situation in China is largely
respons sible for the improved prospects
of the treaty. However, Senators Gray,
White and Pettigrew will tight the
treaty to the very end.

German Announcement of the
Formal Cession of kiao-
Chou the Cause.
London Press Doubts the Story
of a Long Lease and Calls
It a Seizure.
French Occupation Of Hai-Nan
Island Now Said to Be
Imminent.

LONDON, Jan. 6. The morning papers
all comment editorially on the an.
nouncement of the Berlin Reichsan-
zeiger that an understanding has been
reached between Germany and China
regarding the cession of Kiao- Chou bay
to the former. According to The Reich
sanzeiger the cession takes the form Of
lease for an indefinite time. Ger
many is at liberty to erect on the ceded
territory all the necessary buildings and
establishment, and to take the measures
required for their protection. The
opinion OF the press here is that the
contract is one in which Germany ap-
parently gets everything and China
nothing, while the question Of the
safety of missionaries is entirely
dropped. Nothing, however, is said
about railways or mines.
Clear Case of Seizure.
The Times says editorially: "It
would be simple to assume that The
Reichsanzeiger's dispatch tells the
whole story, for it quite omits to say
what China gets in return. To the
world at large, however, the material
fact is that Germany by physical force
has obtained a naval station. This is
the fact that must guide other powers
in determining their own policy.
"The talk Of lease is a mere saving
Of appearances. There is no doubt that
both Germany and China are aware
that it is practical cession in full SOY.
ereipntv IL provides n further arpu.
ment in favor OF an English guaranteed
Chinese loan.'
The editorials in the other papers are
in the same strain as that of The
Times.
