DISCUSSION OF PLANS.
Investment of Havana and Attack ON
Spain.

opaAHs
The proposition to attack the coast of
Spain Itself, while not having progressed
to any definite stage. has not been aban-
doIed by the administration. On the con-
trary. it has been the subject of some earn
est discussion in administration circles.
though 1t has gained no serious attention
In the deliberations Of the cabinet as a
body. The plan, as informally discussed,
looks to taking number of our frst-cIass
battle ships. with sufficient notilla of col
liers and supply vessels. and making war
on the large cities along the Spanish coast
In this connection the statement of q
cabinet Official today that he fayors an
early ordering Of about ten of our vessels
OF the first rating. with orders to carry
what will be needed in the course of SO
long journey, to be taken away from our
fleet in Cuba and sent direct on this mis-
sion, Is significant. He said he believed
that until some such work as that is done
by our forces the government Of Spain will
fail to appreciate the resources Of the gov
eminent with which she is at war. 1t
should be distinctly understood. however,
that there is no semblance Of a conclusion
as yet to take any such step in the future
and, while earnestly discussed, no project
Of this nature has been laid before the Off
oial family of the President. This action,
If it were taken at all, would involve the
view that the vessels could easily be spared
from the Cuban waters and some members
Of the administration have no hesitation in
saying that they might be easily spared be-
fore long without dstriment to our cam
paign in Cuba.
With reference to Havana, 1t has been
suggested that our troops surround the
city and take possession of the highlands,
Sc as to cover every point Of approach and
conduct a peaceful siege. The plan Is vet
tentative. It would do away ordinarily
with the large fatalities that must neces-
snrily follow an attempted immediate cap
ture of the Spanish citadel, and also would
locate our troops in healthful regions. Prob
ably not less than 75,800 men would. be
needed should this plan be adopted. While
the administration has not over-much con-
fdence In getting great assistance from
the Cuban forces. they could be counted on
to some extent

ANOTHER PRIZE CAPTURED
Amapala Caught by the vinksburg Trying
to Run the Baschds.
She Had on Board q Number Of Refa-
gees, Who Report Hard
Times I'm Havana.

KEY WEST, Fla, June "a two-mast-
ed vessel, the Amapala, of Trujillo, Hon
duras, was brought in here this morning
flying the American flag and In charge OF
Ensign Zeen of the Vicksburg. She was
captured yesterday afternoon at sunset
while leaving Havana and attempting to
run the blockade She was quickly over
hauled by the vicksburg and was found to
have over thirty women and children and q
number of men on board, crew and passen-
gers. all refugees. There was no sickness
On board the Amapaia, but she is detained
in quarantine.
The AmapaIa belongs to Manuel Monte
sino MOnteres of TrujillO, Honduras. She
has been lying at Havana since before the
blockade. Her crew numbers eleven men
besides the captain, but almost all were
male refugees.
Gerome Baze, a French citizen, who
three years ago was a leading exchange
broker in Havana, chartered the vessel and
got together over forty people eager to
embrace any chance to escape from Ha-
vana. He is in charge Of an expedition,
made up of all nauonalitles, including
Spanish, French, Venezuelans Cubans and
Turks. They fully expected to be cap
tIred but the conditions in Havana were
so dreadful for the poorer classes that any
risk was preferable to starvation. The
Amarala came out Of Havana openly and
offered resistance. All OF the captives
are confident of release. Hardly any pro-
visions were on board at the time Of the
capture, and no cargo or contraband arti-
cles were found, and she may not be held
as a prize. They report everything quiet at
Havana, which looks like a deserted city
since business and traffic are at q stand
still.
The banking firms of H. Upmann & Co.,
j. NJ. Borjes & Co.. Varcisco, Ruez & Co
and n. Gelats & Co. are the only ones do
ing any business. AL other firms are eth
er closing UP or dragging on, waiting for
the end of the war.
The Spanish prize steamers Guido, Buena
Ventura, Miguel Jover and Catalina will
be sent to New York next week with their
Spanish crews on board The Guido and
her cargo will be sold. The Buena Ventura
will be sold, but her cargo has been re-
leased. The government has appealed from
the decisions in the cases of the Miguel

cargoes of these two steamers have fur
nished bonds.

FOR LONGER SESSIONS
Advocates of Hawaiian Annexation Make an
Important Move.

It Is expected that on Monday, after a
week consumed m the consideration of the
question, an effort will be made in the Sen
ate to extend the sessions of the Senate
and to press fpE q vote on the Hawaiian
resolutions. Up to this time the majority
have been complacently waiting on the
pleasure of the opposition, with view of
giving ample time for the expression of the
anti-annexation az guments. The speeches
have all been on one side and the con-
venience Of the senator's making the
speeches has been considered. 1t is expect
ed that on the opening Of the new week
Senator Davis and his associates in advo-
cacy of the resolutions will begin to press
for action, by asking that the Senate hold
longer sessions each day and that the dis
cussion by the mir ority be maintained more
continuously, with the idea of bringing the
matter to a close.
The Senate today by a vote OF AZ to II
decided to meet at II o'clock Monday morn
ed to be adopted providing for meeting at
IL o'clock each morning pending the con-
sideration of the resolutions. The PROPOSE
ton is to meet at II o'clock and sit until
holding night sessions for two hours OF
two hours and q half. This will afford
more time each day for the long speeches
that are being made.

The opposition to annexation are so weak
that they are not willing that a test vote
should be had. For instance. they mixed
up the vota this morning On the PROPOSE
ton to meet at II o'clock, both White and
Pettigrew voting. with Mr.. Davis for the
early session.
1t is difficult to decide how determined the
opposition senators are to delay action.
They have thirty-one votes against an
nexation, but 1t is understood that less
than half that number will join in a fill

clartng that he will not flibuster and sev-

seeking n Weak Spot.
The leaders of the opposition are trying
to work around underneath with the idea
of discovering a weak spot In the organi-
cation of the friends of annexation, but
they can find none. The advocates of the
resolution are getting their men back, and
Will have no difficulty in maintaining a
quorum. Proctor and Wolcott have re-
turned; Mason wfH be back Monday or
Tuesday. and Chandler will come when
ever wanted. Fffty-six senators will stand
for annexation certainly. and almost that
.number-more than a majority-can be re-
lied on to remain here as long as necessary
to secure a vote.
