THE action of the Senate last week
in passing the resolution providing for
the annexation of the Hawaiian ISL
ands seems to have created no excite
ment in Europe. The war with Spain
and what may grow out of it seem to
oe sufficient at present TO engage the at
tention of the Europeans, so far ss the
United States are concerned. A few
years ago it was looked at in different
way. About the time Mr.. Cleveland
and his agent - Paramount Blount-
were engaged in trying to support Lili-
uokalani there was such display Of
mysteries in some quarters that it was
hinted war might be looked for in
short time. The opponents of annexa-
ton were sure that England, Germany,
France and several other nations would
never permit such a step, and that If it
were attempted, foreign fleets might be
expected in a few weeks to be hammer
ing San Francisco to pieces, and doing
other disagreeable things. The matter
hung fire, and now il has been praeti
cally accomplished without firing a
gun. Taking an island or two is not
such a serious business as it once was.
The Charleston on the way 10 Manila
gobbled up a small garrison in the La
crone Islands, and, 80 far as is known,
the sleep of the German Emperor was
not disturbed for one night. John Bull
is as serene as ne was, and France is
buying American goods just as before,
and seems far more concerned about
the fall in Spanish securities than she
is about Hawaii.
The truth il, Europeans have some
thing more important now to think
about than trying to frighten the peo-
pie of the United States. Since May
lst they have been thinking, that per-
haps, it may not be such an easy mat
ter, after all, to frighten us. Hawaii
might have been annexed years ago
with ease. If it had been, the coDdi-
ton of the islands would now be vast
~ improved. In few years it will be
seen what the introduction of Ameri-
can capital and the application of
American methods will mean. The
first thing thing to do is to build a
cable line from San Francisco to Manila
via Honolulu. Great changes are COM
ing. Ifex-Queen Lii will take for
eign trip lasting year or so she win
not know her old home when she re-
turns.

strange BsdtelIOws.

Pittsburg Leader.
Strange rumOrs are afloat with reference
10 the prospect of an alliance between the
Democratic forces supporting the candi-
dacy of Hon. George A. jerks for Gov
ernor and the Ishmaelite Republican fac
tion which travels under the banner Of
that sanity parsonage, Hon. John Wan
amaker. Mr.. Wanamaker, it will be re-
called, made violent endeavors to break
into the Altoona convention with Judge
Gordon, OF Philadelphia, as his repre-
sentative and chosen candidate. Asso-
ciated with him in support of Gordon
was David Martin, the Philadelphia ring
master, and the influence of the Hastings
clique at Harrisburg was also brought to
bear in the same cause. Judge Gordon
did not conceal the nature Of his backing
from the leaders of his party On the
contrary, he informed a conference of
Democratic managers that with Wana-
maker and Martin and promised cam
paign contribution of goOdly dimensions
behind him, he was in a position 10 make
a better campaign than any other candi-
date in the field, and on these grounds he
literally demanded that the nomination
be given him. Judge Gordon having
been brushed aside by the Altoons con-
vertiOn, it was taken for granted that the
advances of the Wauamaker aggregation
to the Democracy were at an end. That,
under any circumstances, the jerks peo-
pie would contemplate an alliance with a
Republican faction Of malodorous record
was not dreamed of by the average OBJ
server Of State politics. Now. however.
il Is impossible to disregard the gossip
which is in circulation, and when it is
learned from Democratic sources that
such an alliance has been suggested and
seriously weighed and measured, with a
possibility of It's becoming an accom-
plisEed fact, there is manifest reason for
prudent Democrats to be on their guard.
From a Republican point of view, it
viii be a blessing If Mr.. jerks. wsose
personality and public record make his
candidacy respectable. if not formidable.
should take upon his shoulders the bur
den of Wanamskerism and all that Wan
amakerism implies. Should he do this,
one Of the first results win be to drive
hack into the Republican ranks OF to di-
vert into the ranks Of the Swallow people
most Of the Republican malcontents who
have been promising to support the Dem
ocratic ticket The number of Republi-
cans, whatever their grounds Of dissatis-
faction, that could be persuaded to follow
John Wanamaker anywhere in his selfish
wild goose chase after hOnOrs which the
people steadfastly refuse 20 accord him is
wofnlly small. Then, again. any deal by
virtue Of which Democratic support is
pledged TO Mr.. Wsnsmaker for United
States Senator is bound 10 ALLEVIATE the
sympathies Of numerous right-thinking
Democrats from their party ticket.

Late War News.

Simpsons fleet began shelling Santiago
al $50 Monday morning. throwing shells
over the ridge protecting the city. The
bombardment lasted for two hours, when
Shafter reported that the shells were in
effective. The last shot, however, struck
a prominent church in the heart of the
city, which was heavily stored with pow
der and amuniton, causing tremendous
explosion. When the war ships ceased
firing and before land attack was begun,
a flag of truce was seen coming from the
city. The object of this was not known
Monday night.
The Madrid correspondent of the Lon
don Times telegraphed this Tuesday
morning: "The cabinet resigned in con-
sequence of irrecOncilable difference of
opinion of initiating peace negotiations"
The Board of Inquiry appointed to ex-
anime the wrecks of the Spanish ships
reports that only one ship, the Maria Ter
esa, former flagship of Cervera. can be
saved.
The Navy Department was advised
Monday of the safe arrival of General
Miles AT Santiass, where he held con-
ference with Shaiter and Sampson.
From, 4 o'clock until dark Sunday aiter-
pnon the American guns in front of San
tiago poured a deadly fire into the Span
ish ranks. The fre from the Spaniards
in the trenches was very weak. The
Americans are splendidly fortified in the
trenches.
A eable from Madrid asserts that the
IJnited. States makes the following de-
manSs as conditions of peace: First
The possession of Cuba and Porto Rlco'
with a port in the Canaries- Second-An
indemnity of about S240,OOO,OOO. Third
The retention Of the Philippines as
guarantee of the payment Of the indem-
nitv. These terms are regarded as I'M
possible.
Admiral Camara's fleet which sailed
last week for the philippines and had
entered the Suez Canal has been ordered
back to Spain.
The surrender of Santiago was formally
offered by the Spanish commander, Oen-
Toral. saturday, but the conditions at
tached caused prompt refusal oil the Of
fer by Gen. Shafter. The negotiations
however. resulted in extension OF the
armistice. Gen. Toral proposed the I'M
mediate surrender of the city, but insist
ed that his army be permitted to march
away under arms and with flying colors,
and declared that he would fight TO the
last ditch unless the conditions were ae-
cepted. Gen. Shafler replied that moth
ing but unconditional surrender would
be accepted by him.
Admiral Cervera and his entire stan
and crew, numbering in all 692 Spanish
prisoners, arrived at Portsmouth, \. H.,
on Sunday, on the big auxiliary cruiser
ST. Louis. The officers were on parole
and enjoyed the full freedom of the ship.
The greater portion of the prisoners were
clothed in the uniform of Uncle Sans
sailors. Nearly all of the Spanish sea-
menl were naked when captured. Ad-
miral Cervera said: my fleet was the
best my country could give, and my men
were the brayest of any in the world. 1
am grateful to my conquerOrs for the
kindness and consideration shown us"
