HAWAII COMES In.
PRESIDENT SIGNS RESOLUTION
PROVIDING FOR ANNEXATION.
CEREMONY EXTREMELY SIMPLE.
Only Six Persons With Our Chief
Executive mt the Time 1t IL
Performed-Thc Proceedings In
Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July lit was
by ceremony of the simplest character
that the resolution annexing the Ha-
waiian Islands TO the United States this
evening was finally enacted into law. II
occurred in the Cabinet-room of the Ex-
ecutive Mansion, and only six persons
besides President Mckinley were present.
AT 20 minutes before o'clock Alonzo
II. Stewart. Assistant Doorkeeper OF the
Senate, arrived at the White House with
the engrossed copy Of the resolution,
signed by Speaker pro TEN. Payne, of the
House. and Vice-President Hobart
George B. Cortelyou, Assistant Secretary
to the President, receipted for the ,eso-
luton in the usual form. and then rotl-
fled the President that it had arrived.
The President said he would sign it m
mediately, and few minutes later 4
little group was gathered about the CahI-
net table, to witness the completion OF
this important legislation.
Those who comprised the group were
Mrs. Mckinley. Secretary Cortelyou, Mr..
y,
the Signal Corps, who is in charge of the
war-room at the White House; Captain
Charles Loeffier, the Presidents confiden-
tial messenger, and George b. Frease.
postmaster at Canton, the Presidents
home secretary.
THE FATEFUL SIGNATURE.
At o'clock the President affixed to the
resolution these words. which made it
law:
approved, July T. 1898.
"WILLIAM M'KINLEY."
Before rising from the table President
Mckinley also approved the general de-
hciency bill, the last of the great appro-
priation measures passed by the present
Congress
The President presented TO Mr.. Stewart
the pen with which he signed the Hawaii
an resolution, and it will be preserved by
him as a souvenir of an. act that will make
history for the United States.
SUBSEQUENT PROCEEDINGS.
Minister Hatch, OF Hawaii, arrived at
the State Department to-day. and held
an extended conference with Secretary
Day, on the consummation of the annexa-
ton OF Hawaii TO the United States, The
Hawaiian authorities telegraphed the
news to San Francisco, to be forwarded
by the steamer sailing to-day. It is
the view of the Hawaiian authorities that
Hawaii became part Of the United States
on the moment that the President at
,ached his signature to the resolution OF
Congress. The annexation Is said to be
complete without any further action, here
or i'm Hawaii. At the same time, It is
possible that the Hawaiian Legislature
may pass resolution similar TO the one
passed by our Congress.
NO FRICTION EXPECTED.
IT Is said that the transmission of the
republic to the United States can be Ro-
complished without the slightest delay
or friction. a complete internal organi-
cation does away with the delay of or
ganizing government, such as occurred
when California was admitted
For the present, the existing civil or
will continue, with President
Dole as Chief Executive, and this will
run along until the five commissioners,
appointed by the President, complete a
system Of organization and put it into
effect.

About midnight last night the Reina

Texas opened fire, and the Spanish vessel

When the Spanish fleet left Santiago de
Cuba it was with the intention to make
for Cienfuegos, the nearest port, TO secure
coal and provisions. All the ships were
very short of coal, the Cristobal Colon
having only two-days supply, which she
had secured at Santiago.
The Spaniards concentrated their fire on
the Brooklyn, hoping to disable that ves-
sci, which they considered the fastest of
the American warships, and thus gain op-
portunity for at least one or two of the
Spanish boats TO escape. The Brooklyn
was hit forty-five times.
SPANISH MILITARY STRENGTH.
The Spaniards estimate the forces be-
hind the fortlications Of Santiago de Cuba
at about 1l,OOO. including the 1900 rein
forcements brought by General Pando,
which are known TO be in Santiago. The
force besides General Pandos regulars
and 1000 volunteers are not to be depend
ed upon. Eleven hundred marines and
sailors were withdrawn from the city
when the Spanish feet made its ill-fated
sortie.
