BACK FROM HONOLULU
s.
Return of Senator Morgan From the Ha-
waiian Islands.
Stories About the nature of the Com
"'..'on'. HeDoa He Says. Are
Mostly Incorrect.

Senator Morgan of the Hawaiian COM
mission arrived IN Washington this morn
ing and called early at the White House
to talk with ths President. He told the
President about the work done by the COM
mis- sion sent to Hawaii, and said that the
commission would meet here about the Goth
of November to complete the report 1t will
make to the President and Congress. The
senator said that in addition to telling the
President about Hawaiian affairs and the
future prospects of the islands, he wanted
to know something of what had been going
on since he left the United States.
Senator Morgan said that the majority
of the stories published as to the report the
commission will make are incorrect Moth
ing of the report has been made known
except that the commission will recon-
mend a territorial form of government for
the islands. A special form of government
will be recommended, but the features are
not now known. 1t was plainly the in
tention of Congress- as expressed in the
resolution creating the commission that
this form of government should be adopted.
Doesn't Expect More War.
Senator Morgan said that he did not an
ticipate a resumption of hostilities with
Spain. That country, he said, is broken in
every way. Her representatives will haggle
oNei every punt. Dul VIII yleiu " lHt ue-
mands of the American commissioners.
Asked for his own views as to the Philip
pines. the senator said: I'VE can not do
anything else but retain the islands. 1
think they will prove great benefit finan-
cially and commercially. We can keep
them in hand, but give them their independ-
ence under certain conditions
Independence OF Cuba.
Asked what would be the future of Cuba
he, .rrl 49,.
ernment as to Cuba is pledged and is well
understood. The Cubaas. may, by their be-
havior, postpone the day of deliverance.
but they will ultimately secure their indie
pcndence. This will come early if the Gu
bans understand this country and put con-
hdence in our promises. They have it in
their power to aid themselves or retard
their future happiness"
Senator Morgan's health is splendid He
said that he had not felt better in years.

ters mt Havana, MRtanxas, Mariel,
CienfuegOs and Gibarn.

Col. J. G. C. Lee of the Quartermaster's
department, who is chairman of a special
board recently appointed to select sites for
camps in Cuba, was at the War Depart
ment today in conference with the officials
in regard TO the work of the board. 1t has

board to select sites for these military
posts and also to make provision for the

accommodation of the troops. All depart
ments of the military service are repre-
sented on this board, including an engineer
officer and an ordnance officer, whose spe-
Cial functions are to arrange for the for
tifying and protection of the proposed
camps. 1t is expected that the board will
start for Cuba in a few days.
Another special military board. of which
Col. Hecker and Major Waring are mem
bers, has already started for Cuba to visit
the cities where military posts are to lie
established with a view to taking measures
for the improvement of the sanitary condi-
tion5 of the cities named.

to the general movement from the United
States of the troops which are to comprise
the army of occupation in Cuba. So far

the 18th L. S. Infantry and the 4th U. s.

Brigadier General Snyder; the Cd Infantry
Brigade. composed of the 1st U. S. Infan
try and the 9th L. s. Volunteer Infantry,

by Brigadier General Carpenter Until
permanent commander is assigned General
Carpenter. the senior officer present.
will have command of this division of
troops. They are all under orders to rem
devious at Huntsville, Ala, and the eX
peCtation is that they will start for Cuba
not later than the 10Th instant.
Another expedition will start for Cuba
about the middle of November, and the i'm
preston prevails that it will consist of a
division of the 1th Army Corps, commanded
by Major General Lee

has been appointed acting states attorney
for Allegany county, as Col. George A.
Pearre, states attorney, will be busy with
his congressional campaign. Court begins
here next Monday. and the term will be a

dresses in other portions of Montgomery
county as well. Col. Pearre is still being

many letters every day.
The first day of registration in AlIegany
county, last Tuesday, proved to be very
light In the nineteen precincts which have
reported only 113 new voters registered.
This is a very poor showing. The republi-
cans console themselves by saying that if
they have done little the democrats have
done less.
Mr.. Thomas A. Poffenberger, the demo-
cratic congressional nominee, is not well
known in this section. Republicans say
that this is to the advantage of Col. Pearre;
that democrats, not knowing their own can

To Re-EstabIish Naval Stations.

In case the peace negotiations now in
progress at Paris result in the conclusion
of treaty of peace between the United
States and Spain, the United States will
take immediate steps for the re-establish-
ment of its naval stations in Europe and
South America. both of which We're dis
continued at the outbreak of the recent
war Secretary Long now has the matter
under consideration with view to prompt
action as soon as the result of the peace
negotiations is known. Although by no
means settled, it is probable that the Euro
pean squadron will consist of the cruiser
brooklyn as flagship, the battle ship Texas,
the cruisers Chicago, New Orleans and At
lanta and one or two gunboats. The South
atlantic squadron will probably consist of
the cruiser Newark as flagship and the
gunboats Castine, Marietta and Whining
ten. The light draught of these gunboats
makes them specially suitable for service
in the rivers of South America.

MIR. JEIIU BAKER NOT BLIND.
Representative From Illinois Denies
RumOr Sent Out From Chicago.


Rumor Sent Out From Chicago.
A special to the st. Louis Giobe-Democrat
from Belleville, ILL.,, says Jehu Baker, the
well-known representative in Congress of
the tWenty-first district of Illinois, emphat-
icaliy denies the story emanating from
Chicago that he is stone blind and that his
physicians have said there is no hope for
the restoration of his sight On the other
hand. they have assured him that his case
is very hopeful, and he feels confident that
in few months he will have recovered his
signt. 1t is true that, owing to cataracts
on both eyes. he cannot see any at present
In March last DR.. Wilbur, at Washington,
d. c., removed u cataract from the repre-
sentatives left eye, and another operation
known as the needle process, will be per
formed as soon the eye has healed
enough to permit ii, which will probably
be next month. No operation will be per-
formed on his right eye until the sight of
the left eye has been restored Mr.. Baker
Is in excellent condition, both physically
and mentally. with the exception of this
affliction, and is by no means discouraged.
He expects to resume his seat In Congress
when 1t meets In December.

The POst-Gradunte Course in Naval
Architecture.

Secretary Long has decided to make no
change in the postgraduate course Of In
struction IN naval architecture esta ablished
last year at the Naval Academy, and Ma
val Constructor J. H. Linnard, now on duty
at Cramps shipyard. Philadelphia, has
been ordered to Annapolis to take charge
|of the class during the present term. Ma
va Constructor Hobson had charge of the
course during the last school year, and was
relieved at the outbreak of the war. The
fact that he is otherwise engaged in the im-
rOrtant work of wrecking the Spanish
cruisers Mercedes and Colon made it neces-
sary to select another officer for duty at
the Naval Academy The Secretary Of :hs
Navy gave thorough consideration to the
proposition for the transfer of the post
graduate course to the Massachusetts In
st.tute of Technology, which was advoca ted
by Chief Constructor Hichborn and others,
but finally concluded that 1t was not wise
or expedient at this time to interfere with
