Said to BE Furnished In Large Ouanti-
ties From the Isle of Pines.
KEY WEST, June 21.-A prominent
resident of Havana, who left that place
on the 9TH inst, arrived here Sunday on
his way to New York. He reports that
Havana is practically an open port, as it
is not blockaded on It's southern ap-
proach. Batabano on the south side is
only 40 miles from Havana, with which
city it is connected by rail.
1t appears, however, that constant
traffic has been kept up between the Isle
of Pines and the Gucatan coast and that
full cargoes of provisions and live stock
have been regularly landed there from
steamers, schOoners and other sailing
vessels unmolested by American war.

waters.

an easy matter as also their subsequent

officer of the Cuban army and a pilot,

TEST VOTE UN HAWAII.
Motion to Adjourn Beaten by the An
nexationists by Vote
of a. to ID.

nexationists by n Vote
of ~ to 10.
WASHINGTON, June 2l.-Discussion
by the senate of the question of Ha.
waiian annexation was begun yesterday
In open session. At the very opening
Of the question the opponents Of tnnex.
alton quite unexpectedly scored point
by preventing a yea and nay vote on
taking up the resolutions. When Mr..
Davis, chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, called up the resolu
tions the vice president, as usual, an.
nounced that withou: objection the
resolutions would be considered. No
objection being entered he declared the
resolutions to be before the senate. A
minute or two later Mr.. Frye me- de.
manded the yeas and nays upon the re.
quest to take up the resolutions.
MIR. White (Cal.) instantly made the
point of order that yea and nay vote
could not be had on dead issue-that
the resolutions were already before the
senate by unanimous consent. OF
course, the point was sustained. The
opponents of annexation were decidedly
strength, but at 4:30 Mr.. White afforded
the friends of annexation the oppor-
tunity they had been awaiting. He
moved to adjourn and, like flash, Mr..
Davis demanded the yeas and nays.
The motion, the vote upon which was
test of strength between the friends
and opponents Of annexation, was de-
feated decisively-44 to 10. Having
gained his point in developing the
numerical weakness of the opposition,
Mr.. Davis readily agreed to enter a mo.
ton for an executive session.
The proceedings of the day indicate
clearly that there is to be no debate
upon the Hawaiian question in the
ordinary aoceptatlon of that term. 1t
is not the purpose of the friends of an
nexation to consume time in making
speeches. Believing that the senate
has already in executive session thor.
oughly discussed the question, they
will permit the opponents of the prof.
ect to occupy all of the time. This
plan of campaign is not satisfactory to
the latter, and during the session yes.
terday considerable bitterness was mani.
tested at times.
The speakers yesterday were Mr..
Morrill,, the venerable senator from Yer.
mont and one of the Republican oppo.
nents of annexation, and Mr.. Bacon
Dem, Ga.). Mr.. Morrill, covered the
general question, while Mr., Bacon dis
cussed the power of congress to annex
territory by legislative act, maintaining
that such annexation was unConstitu.
tional.

the First Methodist Episcopal church of

Mr.. Palmer asks If any one has tried

pours the water OH the body of the tree
as high as he can reach, when the tree is
in bloom. Also somebody had put apple

trees and succeeded in getting fruit.

The various groups of ants differ wide
ly in their outward form and internal
plan of their nests, as also in the ma
terial. The nests are located in excava-
tions in the ground, or erections above
ground, in trees, walls and house roofs.
The general plan of the nest shows an
arrangement of flats or stories, with
passages and supported by pillars or
partitions. The great object seems to
be the protection of the larvae and to
keep them warm. In the morning the
diligent neuters transfer the larvae to
the outer chambers to which the suns
heat has access, and during the night
the larvae are transferred to the inner
recesses. The neuters are ever watchful

The papers generally comment freely
of the Cleveland county convention in
which the Hanna side was defeated and
Mayor McKisson was victorious. The
Washington Post says: "Mr. Hanna
seems to have made a serious mistake in
permitting young Mr.. McKisson to re-.
tain coaling station"
The fun OF 1t is that Mr.. Hanna and
his friends did not intend it at all. 1t
was to them great surprise; they could
hardly believe their eyes; but thought at
last it would be wise-skedaddle and
give up the prize!

Havana should be the objective point.
