TO INFORM HAWAII.
Government May Charter q Vessel Il
Take News of Annexation.

Government May Charter q Vessel to
Take News of Annexation.
Mr.. Hatch. the Hawaiian minister, spent
some time In conference with Assistant
Secretary Moore today, presumably with
reference to the method to be adopted of
putting into effect In Hawaii the provisions
OF the pending annexation BID. which is ap-
preaching final passage. Owing to the
heavy drafts made by the government upon
the steamship lines crossing the Pacific for
troop transports, the means of communfca-
ton between San Francisco and Honolulu
are now extremely irregular and precari-
Gus.
I. il desirable that the earliest possible
notice Of the approval Of the annexation
bill be conveyed to Hawaii. so that it is
probable that failing the presence in San
Francisco OF one of the regular merchant
steamers about to clear for Honolulu, the
government will itself charter some speedy
vessel to hasten to Honolulu with the off,
cial news.
One reason for making haste in this par
tfcular is the fact that the Hawaiian con-
gress must itself pass upon and ratify the
provisions Of the annexation bill, and as
the present session OF the Hawaiian 1egis-
lature will expire by limitation very soon,
It will be necessary to submit to all the
delays occasioned by the requirements OF
the organic law as to the calling of an ex-
ira session of the legislature.

Delaying Reinforcements.
Contrary to the expectation Of the War
Department officials there seems to have
been some delay in Tampa in dispatching
the transports from that place with rein
forcements for General Shafter. The off,
Gals yesterday felt sure that at least some
Of the vessels would drop down to Key
West yesterday. but the reports received
today do not bear out this hope. The ad-
vices which have come to the department
are not absolutely clear as to just when
the entire fleet will depart although some
Of the transports will according to these
dispatches surely get on today. The Hud-
sen. one Of the transports. with large
number of recruits. numbering in all about
go infantrymen and FIVE officers. pulled out
of Port Tampa into the bay last night. The
1st Illinois Regiment of Infantry Is load
ing Its stores on the Gate City and the
City OF Macon. and the regiment was ex-
pected to go aboard this morning. at which
time the Hudson. Gate City and City Of
Macon would leave for Key West. There
was not room aboard of the ships for cav
airy recruits for some of the regiments IN
Santiago
Three of the transports at Tampa are to
take artillery, of which there are six light
and eight heavy batteries at Tampa. Some
difficulty has been experienced by the OFF,
cials OF the department in dealing with the
English crews Of the Unionist and the
Specialist. and the temper displayed by
them has resulted in delaying the loading
Of the guns on board of these vessels.
However. this work is now nearly done,
today. A number Of artillerymen are to
go to Santiago ON the Comanche. although
the dispatches do not Indicate just how
many win be sent. The last three named

ELECTRIC LIGHT BUGS.

Something About the Insect That Swarms
About the Arc Lights.
The question is often asked in Daw-
son, "Where does the electric light bug
come fromP" Professor L. o. Howard,
entOmologist of the department of ag-
riculture, Washington, d. c., says:
"The insect is the giant water bug
(benacus grisens). This insects is aquatic
in its early stages, and feeds upon other
water insects and upon small fish. Upon
reaching full growth and obtaining
wings it flies great distances AMI is readi-
ly attracted by electric lights, hence
the popular name electric light bug
1t is harmless, except that it kills young
food fishes; but if incautiously handled
1t is capable of inficting wound upon
the person with its sharp beak !"
