nent with handicaps for ladies and
gentlemen and an approach contest.

Not only the large number of guests
In the hotel participated In the festivi-
ties. but the society leaders OF Warwick
les were out en- masse. and IL was in
deed gala day and night at this most
delightful Rhode Island summer resort.
The weather was perfect. a most de-
lightful breeze sweeping over the links,

Carling playing alone. The pairs were.

In some OF the cases the handicaps

not be utterly overwhelmed by those
who were more expert, and the play
went merrily on. Quite a number of
ladies offered their services as cad

RECEIVED THE BLOW
 WITH CALM DIGNITY

London July 1.-The Madrid correspond ent of the Times says; The Spanish peo- pie received the terrible blow of the loss of their fleet with wonderful self-posses- sion and calm dignity. All the popular festivals, even the bull fights have been in- definitely postponed, but there is no sign of panic or even of furry.
 The people find consolation in a conviction of military strength and are pleased at the semi-ofcial reports and General Blan- co has been ordered to send 15,G00 reinforce ments to Santiago. The government seems undecided as to what course to pursue. Senor Sagasta's statement that the govern fnent desired to know the opinion of the army in Cuba on the loss of the fleet repre- sents an important feature of the situation.
 It is the general belief in military circles that anything like equalization would cre- ate dangerous exasperation in the army in Cuba. Senor Sagasta probably favors peace, but the government wants time for reflection.

DUSKY DAMSELS
 ARE UNCLE SAM'S President Signed Resolution at 7
 p. m. Yesterday. ANNEXATION IS COMPLETE Senator Morgan's Hula Hula Girls May Now Dance the Couchee Couchee as Free Americans Black Rose of the Pacific Added
 to the American Bouquet.
ANNEXATION IS COMPLETE

Washington, July 1.-The president signed the resolutions annexing Hawaii at ' o'clock this evening. Minister Hatch, of Hawaii, had an extended conference with Secretary Day today on the consummation of the annexation. Mr. Hatch sent extend- ed official dispatches to the Hawaiian agent in San Francisco to be forwarded by the steamer sailing today.
 It is the view of the Hawaiian authori- ties that Hawaii becomes a. part of the United States the moment the president at taches his signature to the resolution. The annexation is said to be complete without any further action here or in Hawaii. At the same time it is possible that the Ha- Wallan legislature may pass a resolution similar to the one passed by our congress. While it is said that this was not necessary yet 1t will be a formality accomplished and remove every possible chance for bubble over the regularity of the procedure.
 Hawaiian Senate May Ratify
 The Hawaiian senate unanimously ratified a treaty of annexation. This in effect was a tender of Hawaii to the United States. Now the United States accepts the tender by joint resolution of congress signed by the president. The tender and the accept- ance complete the transaction. If, how ever, it is desired to have both branches of the Hawaiian legislature pass an act sim liar to that of the American congress. Mr. Ihurston says this may be quickly accom- pllshed. The session has just ended, but

SPANISH CABINET
 CONSIDERING PEACE

Paris, July 1.-The Temps this evening publishes dispatch from Madrid which says that its correspondent, in spite of the official denials published in the newspapers, persists in the belief that the Spanish cab met today not only deliberated upon the question of negotiating for peace, but charged the minister for foreign affairs and the minister of public instruction, Se- nor Gamazo, to study the matter and re- port upon 1t. The correspondent adds that the pope has charged the papal nuncio at Madrid to renew his expressions of sympa- thy with Spain and the dynasty, and has also ordered the Spanish prelates to re- strain the Carists.
 According to a dispatch to the Impareial of Madrid from Rome, the Emperor Fran ois Josef of Austria, in response to the pope's invitation, has declared he will eX- ert all his influence. with the cooperation of his two allies, to bring about an honor- able peace.

A ST. LOUIS SOLDIER
Falls From the Baggage Car on the K. c.,
 M. & B. R. R.

About ten regulars from St. Louis ar rived in the city last night en route to Tampa and told of the remarkable escape from death one of their number had just this side of Plantersville, Miss on the Kansas City Memphis and Birmingham railroad, yesterday morning. Bernard Visznewski was his name, and his com panions say that it was his name alone that saved him from death.
 He was standing in the baggage car, which was running at high rate of speed when the car suddenly lurched and threw him from the door directly on his face. The train was stopped and backed to the place where he had fallen. He was picked up and though severely bruised was not dead He was left at New Albany in charge of one of his comrades, and a tele- gram was received from the latter last night saying that the unfortunate fellow was doing splendidly and will continue his tourney today.

mile and a half as though he were but that many rods. The negro troops who went over there are said to have fought like demonds and, being in front, were cut down as though a moving machine had been run through their ranks, The use or the Springfield rifles by the volunteers with the common powder was the cause of much American loss, as it constantly be trayed their position to the enemy: The volunteers artillery fire attracted a shower of lead which apparently came from clear sky, as the Spaniards fought from behind deep trenches and used smokeless powder Their well-directed volleys were remarkably effective and covered the field with dead and wounded. The forts were well protected and strongly fortified.
