Washington, May 5.-There were
many conferences between the
President and Senators and Repre-
sentatives to-day. The first comer
vas Senator Burrows, CO Michigan,
who came to present some friends
to the President. AS he left he
said:
Everything is moving along
smoothly and WELL What we want
now is Porto Rico. We ought to
have that tomorrow.
''Will it be as soon as that, Sen
ator?"
Yes" was the reply, probably
in a day or two"
While refraining from saying
what transpired during his brief
interview with the President, his
statement that the seizure Of Porto
Rico is expected to be effected in a
day or two, it was thought by his
hearers, 10 be significant, having
been made Immediately after the
Senator left the President, though
he would not say the President had
given him any information
Persons who were with the Pres
ident to-day assert that there is a
strong likelihood that Porto Rico
will be in the hands of the United
States within forty-eight hours.
No confirmation is obtainable of
the various reports concerning
movements of Admiral SIMPSONS
feet. Persons who, from their Of
fetal positions, might be supposed
to share the confidence of the adj
ministration are credited with the
statement that the admiral has
gone to seize Porto Rico, and this
state ment is made after conference
with the executive. On the other
hand it is asserted with almost
equal positiveness that the fleet has
gone to meet the Oregon and bring
her in safety to the north. Still
another report is to the effect that
the admiral has gone to seize Ma
-anzas, to be used as a base of oper-
atoms. The officials refuse abso-
lutely to make public the plan of
the strategic board, and thus give
aid to the enemy.
A significant move is the addi-
ton of the war ship New Orleans
to Commodore Schleys squadron
at Hampton Roads in place of the
Columbia. This seems to indicate
a complete change in the character
of the squadron, which instead Of
being a flying squadron in the or
binary sense, has now assumed the
character of a battle fleet With
out being as speedy as at first Or
ganized, Commodore Schley's
squadron is now probably able to
meet on even terms, at least, the
formidable Spanish armored cruis-
ers which sailed from Cape Verde
for an unknown destination. In
view of this action by the depart
ment and particularly if Schley
should be reinforced by some tor
pedo boat vessels, it may be assum-
ed that he is about to start in quest
of the Spanish squadron.
Madrid, May 5.-Considerable
anxiety. is felt here as to the fate
of Porto Rico. 1t is feared that
Admiral Simpsons squadron has
gone to seize San Juan, the capital
of that colony, and the Spanish
coal supplies at that port.
Admiral Camara, who is to take
command tomorrow of the Span
ish reserve squadron at Cadiz. will
hoist his flag on board the battle
ship Pelayo. His appointment has
caused much satisfaction among
the naval men of Spain.

TERRITORY OF HAWAII.
Name the Annexation Commit
tee Will Recommend.
TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT.
The Committee VIII Propose One Mod
eled on That of Existing Territories.
Local self-Government One Feature.
May Also BE Used For Porto Rico.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 10.-The
steamer Coptic, from Yokohama and
Hongkong, via Honolulu, arriving yes
terday, brought adyices from the latter
city, under date of Sept. 81
1t will be the TERRITORY of Hawaii. :"
That is the name which the annexation
committee has decided to recommend to
congress.
The form of the government will be
modelled on that of existing territories.
There will be no more farther depart
ures from this than local conditions and
national political considerations make
necessary.
1t is probable that in working out the
details the form Of the government will
not approximate SO closely to that of
state government as the ordinary form
of government does. But the ultimate
possibility of statehood will not be
barred. There will be no District of
Columbia or Alaska form of govern
ment proposed.
Local self government will be given
through the extension of the municipal
idea. The islands will be divided into
municipal districts, having control, I'M
der restrictions and limitations, of
purely local affairs.
The question of territorial legislature
has been fully settled. There will
probably be one, but with limited pow
ers. All the attributes of sovereignty,
however will be exercised by the ma
tional governments of the United States.
The people of Hawaii will be called on
to consider themselves Americans, look
ing to the national government as a
source of national power. In local af-
fairs they will have the opportunity of
exercising the highest tribute of Ameri-
can citizenship, local self government.
1t is pretty clear from what has been
said by members of the committee from
time to time in framing form of gov
eminent for cheese islands, they have
also been charged with the administra-
ton at Washington with forming
model which can be adapted to Porto
Rico and other new possessions the war
has brought the United States.
The committee is trying to so shape
its work as to be able to conclude its
labors Sept. 20. The visiting members
will in that case, be able to return to
mainland by the steamer of Sept. %.
This will be in plenty of time for the
prompt presentation of the bill which
will be drafted right after the opening
of congress, on the first Monday in
December.
