The News Received With Great Joy
in honolulu -.. A Silver Cup for
Captain Sealby.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 27-The steam
er Mariposa has arrived from Australia
and Honolulu, bringing the following cor
respondence to the Associated Press:
HONOLULU, July Do.-The steamship
Coptic arrived from San Francisco on the
evening of the 18th inst. with the import
ant news that the u. S. Senate had rat
flied the Newlands resolutions making
Hawaii part Of the United States. Long
before the vessel had reached the harbor
1t was known that the steamer brought
annexation news, the Information being
signalied to the Mohican.
Whistles of foundries, mills and steam
ers were turned loose and pandemonium
reigned. Fireworks were set off and one
hundred guns were fired on the grounds of
the executive building.
At the same time the Hawaiian band
marched through the streets to the wharf,
playing American patriotic airs. An i'm
mense procession was formed and
march was made to the executive build
ing.
President Dole was at his beach home
when the steamer was sighted. He hur-
ried into town and reached the wharf as
the steamer tied up.
Captain Sealby, of the Coptic, was pre-
scented with silver cup by the citizens
of Honolulu for bringing the news. The
cup bore the inscription:
Annexation. Presented by the Citizens
to Captain Inman Sealby r. N. Who
Brought the Good News to Honolulu"
The leading men of Honolulu met to-day
and recommended Harold NJ. Sewall u.
S. minister to Hawaii, for governor of the
islands.
1t had been generally thought that Pres
ident Dole would be their choice
The Ohio, Para, Valencia and Indiana,
four vessels of the third fleet of trans
ports which returned to Honolulu on &C
count of an accident to the Indiana, were
delayed here about "a hours and sailed
again for Manilal on the ninth. There
was some defect in the boilers of the In
diana.

delayed in Transmission. )-Col Ewers
returned to Santiago last night after re-
ceiving the surrender of the Spanish
troops at CaiTanera. He was accompan-
led by Mr.. Brooks, the British consul. and
officers from Caimanera. Col. Ewers will
probably return here after consulting
with Gen. Shafter.
Caimanera was found to be strongly
defended, and rifle pits and earthworks
completely surrounded the village Only
the smokestack of the Sandoval, the
Spanish gunboat sunk at that place. is
visible above the water, and 1t Is improb-
able that she can be raised.
The Spanish troops at Caimanera are a
ragged and hungry lot. Ensign Pratt,
who had charge of the launch from the
Marblehead, which took Col. Ewers to
Caimanera, says that the Spanish asked
for permission TO Gre off their fed pieces,
muzzle loading guns, because they could
not unload them.
The Marblehe.d went up to Caimanera
this morning for the purpose of raising
the mines there. No news has been re-
ceived here regarding the operations of
the American forces in Porto Rico.
The Puerto Arnoria arrived from Key
West this morning and the work of coall-
ing and provisioning the ships is pro-
ceeding and will be completed in a few

Before Santiago De Cuba, July
14.-Probably few European mil
itary critics will appreciate the ar
durous nature of the campaign SO
successfully terminated to-day by
the surrender of all the Spanish
forces east OF Santiago and the
virtual abandonment Of this prov
ince by Spain.
One word tell the story-roads.
The roads here are simply paths
through the dense tropical forests,
paths along which half dozen orr
binary OK teams haul numbering
carts once a day In comparatively
dry weather. There are no bridges
and in wet weather when the
streams are raging torrents the
paths are almost impossible to
men on horseback, absolutely so to
vehicles Of all descriptions.
Our men were obliged to advance
In single file into the open and ct
the famous assault on San Juan
hill one column marched out of the
road to the open in the face of
murderous artillery and rifle fire
from the Spanish trenches and de-
ployed for the charge on open
ground. No finer exhibition of
nerve could be required for a SOL
dier than that charge across seven
hundred yards of open territory
against an enemy entrenched up
on the crest of a hill. But our
men never flinched.
As matter of fact it is one of
the unwritten secrets Of the battle
OF July 1, that the plans made the
night previous did not contemplate
an assault upon the works of the
enemy before Santiago. There is
a question whether any specific
command to charge was ever
given. Regimental and company
commanders simply led their way
heroically forward up the hill. The
hill was taken, the American flag
planted on its crest, and the enemy
driven pell nell into his inner
line of entertainments beyond. Our
men were too much exhausted to
follow up their victory, though it
has since been asserted that had
the pursuit been continued that
afternoon, the demoralized Span
iards would have surrendered that
night.
But men who had left a third of
