THURSDAY EVENING. JUNE 16, 1898

THE TREATMENT the boilers have re-
ceiyed. as might we'll have been ex'
pected, has set the pace for those So
called democrats who labor under the
delusion that they know more, and are
better, than their party, and yesterday
no less than eighteen ofthem in the US.
House of Representatives left their
party's ranks and joined tina republic
cans in voting for the annexation OF the
Sandwich Islands, the pet scheme OF
President Mckinley, ex-President Hsr-
rison and the other ultra republicans.
The evil that men do lives after them.
The late General Malone said he was
SO better democrat than Ben Hill"
and Immediately afterwards voted to
turn the U. S. Senate over to the control
of the republicans, and his example has
been followed by others weaker than
himself. The democratic party is built
upon the foundation of majority rule.
No wonder the people are beginning to
lose faith in it, when they see that
the breakers of that rule are still
included among the leaders OF that
party. The Congressman who does
net vote with the democratic party is
not a democrat, and should not be al
lowed to interfere with the affairs of
the democratic party.

Insurgents Defeat Standards

MADRID, June 16.-Advices received
here to-day from Manila, under date OF
June 6, practically repeat the news
contained in previous dispatch saying
that on June 5 the insurgents forced
the passage of Zapote river and cap
tured Las Pinus and Paranski, since
which time the fighting between the
insurgents and the Spaniards was con-
tinuous and the latter were being
gradually driven in. Lack of provi-
sions compelled the Spaniards to yield
at certain points. Both ammunition
and food are very scarce. 1t is not ex-
pected that Manila will capitulate until
the American troops arrive.

GASOLINE ExPLoDEs.-In Winches-

sey accidentally spilled some gasoline
directly beneath large three-burner
gasoline stove, and then struck match
to light the stove. A terrific explosion
followed. The rear door was lifted
from the side of the house, and together
with the heavy door frame and tran
som, was hurled fifteen feet away. The
wall on the adjoining side near the door
was bulged outward and torn away,
and other damage done. Mrs. Dorsey,
who was standing nearly directly over
the exploding gasoline, was dazed by
the shock, but was not hurt. The
building was in blazs in an instant.
Mrs. Dorsey gave the alarm, and the
department extinguished the fire with
difficulty. The house and furniture
were ruined,

THERE IS talk OF the abandonment of
the proposed negro camp near Fred
ericksburg, for the reason that the peo-
pie of that neighborhood are so oppos-
ed to the establishment of any such
camp among them that they refuse to
rent the government the requisite land,
There is no doubt of the fact that such
camp would be a most undesirable
addition to any peaceful and reputable

GOVERNOR TYLER, in his recent
speech at Hollywood cemetery, said:
''If the brave boys in gray sleeping here
were now upon earth, endued with the
youthful vigor that they once carried
into battle. they would be clad in blue
and be proudly defending and advanc-
ing the flag that drew their hostile fire. "
Hardly, and certainly not if they should
know that free negroes were to be their
comrades, and, in certain contingent
cies, their commanders, as the Governor
has directed.

Defences of Caimanera Demolished

GUANTANAMO BAY, June 1880
d. m.-The brick fort and earthworks
at Csimanera at the end of the railroad
leading to the city of Guantanamo were
demolished today by the bombsrdment
of the Texas, Marblehead and Suwa
nee. The warships opened fire at 2
n. m. and the bombardment lasted one
hour and thirty minutes. The Texas
steamed slowly up the channel leading
to the Notifications followed closely by
the Marblehead. The Texas fred two
shots as range finders, both falling
short. The Marblehead opened with
her 5-inch guns on the fort, knocking
down part of the wall.
The Texas then threw in some twelve
inch shells, tearing down the walls OF
the fort and throwing the bricks and
mortar thirty feet in the air. After
badly damaging the fort, the Marble
head stood farther in to shell the earth
works and barracks at the west end OF
the harbor. She knocked them into
the air ard when the Spaniards fed
from the fort they were shelled by the
St. Paul and driven into the bushes.
The Spaniards fred only FIVE shots,
which did no damage. After the ships
stood out into the barbr, the Spaniards
in the bush opened fire on the Marble
heads launch, which replied vigorous
ly. The Suwanee then turned back
and shelled the bushes, driving the
Spaniards inland.

HAwAn.-The first step in the line


of territorial expansion was taken
in the House yesterday evening when
the Hawaiian annexation resolution
was passed by vote of 209 to 81.
Prior to announcing the vote, Mr.. Dal-
cell, who, in the absence of Mr.. Reed,
was presiding, said; 1.-The Speaker of
the House is absent on account of i'll
ness. am requested by him to say
that were he present on this PROPOSE
ton he would vote mo. )" The an
nouncement was applauded by the op-
position to annexation. The mat
ter will be laid before the Senate
to-day. The next step will be the ref
ence of the resolution to the committee
on foreign relations, with the result, it
is thought, that report favoring
annexation will be made as early as
Friday. Immediate consideration is
desired by the friends of the measure,
but its opponents will try to defer its
confederation till Monday.

the track cannot be cleared before noon

the House Of Representative deliver
ed TO tho Senate the Hawaiian annexa-
ton resolution passed by the House

such. He then entered upon general
discussion of the measure, which, he
said, was comprehensive and far
reaching proposition.

it would, if enacted, be declared to be
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
