TIIE WAR SITUATIONS.

Important developments in the war
situation may now be- expected ut any
moment. The invasion Of Cuba has
begun in earnest. The 1900 troops
under Gen. Shafter arrived Off the
southeastern coast OF Cuba during the
latter part Of last week, and effected
landings at different points OF the
caast in the vicinity Of Santiago,
where our fleet has for sometime been
maintaining blockade 81 that port,
and an imprisonment Of the Spanish
fleet in its harb0r.
Gen. Shafter reports a fine voyage,
with the command about rs healthy
rs wh,: it left Tampa. lie says the
landing was very difficult and that two
men were lost by drowning in landing;
tina. he lost about fifty animals, some
dying on the transport, but the most
OF them lost in putting them through
the surf in landing.
The first place occupied by the
troops after landing was Altares, a
small town about mines miles east Of
Santiago. The Fourteenth and Tenth
Cavalry and Woods regiment under
Gen. Wheeler in command of the ad-
vance guard, in pusing out from this
point to occupya nearer position to
Santiago, had q skirmish with the
enemy who were in ambush at the
place where the battle occurred to
block the march Of our soldiers on San
tiago. The enemy were in dense
thioket on high plateau, and in addi-
to the advantage which their position
gave them, they were also stronger in
numbers than the troops which engaged
In the fight. Meeting the Spainards in
ambush took our soldiers a little by
surprise, but they put up a gallant
light and drove them from their COW.
ardly position. We lost in the fight
one officer and twelve men and about
fifty wounded, among whom were si1
officers. The Spaniards suffered 8
greater loss, and were forced to retire
towards Santiago, where they will M
doubt prepare to make a final stand
against our troops.
10 seems that the Spaniards are iI

at first expected, and there will pro
badly be some hard fighting, attended
with considerable loss on both sides
before Santiago is won. In the mean
time the War Department is prepar
ing to send reinforcements to tina

Tampa to have the troops stationed
there available for departure as quick
ly as possible.

THE DONNELLY DISCREPANCIES
BOLT.
As announced in the last issue of
THE CAUCASIAN, a complete co-opera-
ton has been formed in the State of
Minnesota. The Populists, silver
Republicans and silver Democrats all
held their convention at the same
time and place and nominated John
Lind for Governor. John Lind was
the cooperative candidate of the
three parties for Governor in the last
campaign, and came within two or
three thousand votes of being elected
in a State that has normal Republic
can majority of from forty to fifty
thousand.
The remainder Of the ticket was
made up equitably from the three
parties, and the whole ticket ratified
by the three conventions respectively.
Minnesota is one of the worst COR
poration-ridden States in the Union.

HOUSE.

Third reading of Senate bill 81, re-
lating to the cable. Rep. Robertson
moved for its passage. He wished
that the Minister of Finance might
be present as he had something to
say in answer to some remarks made
on the bill the other day. If the Paci-
ffc Gable Company should secure the
approval of the Secretary of State
within six months which would prac-
tically guarantee congressional action
in the matter, Hawaii would have
a cable. To support the bill its pres
ent form, stating some specific COM
pany, would give Hawaii a cable soon
er than if general terms were stated.
If the Pacific Cable Company should
fail to take action, the President had
the power to negotiate with other
companies.
Upon being put to vote Rep. Achi
was found to be the only one who
was against the bill Seeing the
overwhelming vote in favor of the bill,
Rep. Achi asked that he be allowed
to change his vote. This was granted
and the vote went on record as unani-
nous.

would tend TO increase the use of the
drug on the Islands.
The bill we have before us in my
judgment viii discourage smuggling
As the Board of Health will furnish
opium at less cost than smugglers
can afford to furnish the article. owing
10 the risky nature of their nefarious
business. If we are annexed to the
United States, and have no law on
our statutes authorizing opium we will
undoubtedly come under the United
states law which allows any one to
import 1t under a duty of six dollars a
pound If we pass this bill-which
l consider much preferable to the Unit
ed States law-it may be allowed to
remain on our statutes in case of an
nexation. Then again, as it has been
said, we have in the past repealed
three opium laws at different times.
and this law can be repealed if it is
found that it does not work we'll. The
Chinese, who are the principal users
of opium, are not voters and cannot
control legislation.
The bill was then brought to third
reading and passed, Senators Baldwin,
Brown, McCandless, Lyman, Holstein,
Hooking, Smith and Wright voting in
the affirmative, Senator Rice in the
chair not voting,
The Commerce Committee reported
on the bill amending the act relat-
ing to weights and measures. The
committee said that the only material
change from the existing statutes was
in providing that the moneys received
for sealing weights and measures shall
be turned into the treasury as Gov
ernment realization instead of being
perquisite to the Marshal as it is
now considered. The bill passed Sec

| A well attended meeting of the Ha-

dining room of the Pacific Club last
evening for the purpose of making fl
nal arrangements for the meet on the
11th of June.
In the first place, twenty new mem
bers were voted in.
Then came a free for all discussion
on the program. It was finally de-
cfded to adopt the program as publish
ed in the newspapers of the city. The
matter of best 2 in heats in the trot-
ting and pacing to harness races was
left as it was.
The matter of races on the Fourth
of July was broached and it was de-
cided that this should be left in the
hands of the Executive Committee to
do what they should see fit. Should
there be enough money left over after
the races on Saturday it goes without
saying there will be races on the
Fourth.
Both VIM. G. Irwin and Charles ].
Mccarthy offered $1OO for a race, trot-
ting and pacing to harness, best three
out of five, to be on the Fourth. This
will be free for all.
Slight corrections were recommend
ed in the published program and the
meeting adjourned.
