Madison. June p


After a conference with Adjutan-
General Boardman Monday, Governor
Ecofeld decided to mobilize the first
Wisconsin regiment of infantry and
battery A at Camp Douglas next
Monday. The governors conference
with the adjutant general and his de-
termination to mobilize the the troops
next Monday were the result OF the
official announcement, with instruc-
lions, from Secretary Algar that Wis
consin's quota under the second call
for volunteers was one regiment of in
fantry and one battery.
Much of Monday was occupied by
Adjutant General Boardman in tele-
graphing the captains Of the various
volunteer companies to find out If their
commands were ready and willing to
be mustered into the regular service.
he based his selections from the
numerous volunteer companies
throughout the state On the answers
he received. The organization of the
fourth regiment being extant, its Of
fcers will of course in the regular
army have the positions they now
held The regiment, as we'll as the

A TEST VOTE TAKEN
HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION RESO-
LUTIONS TO PASS SENATE.
DEBATE WILL BE SHORT
Opponents Unexpectedly Score Point
by Preventing a Yea and Nay Vote
on Taking Up the Resolutions
House Passes tie General Deficiency
Bill Carrying $224,00O,000.

Washington, June 21.-The discus
sion in the senate of the Hawaiian
annexation has begun. At the very
opening of the question the opponents
Of annexation quite Unexpectedly
scored a point by preventing a yea
and nay vote on taking up the resolu-
lions. Later Mr.. White (Cal., dem. }
afforded the friends Of annexation the
opportunity they had been awaiting.
He moved to adjourn and like flash
Mr.. Davis rep, MIMI, chairman of
the committee on foreign relations,
demanded the yeas and nays. The
motion, the vote upon which was a
test of strength between the friends
and opponents of annexation, was de-
feated decisively, A to Is. Having
gained his point in developing the
numerical strength of the opposition,
Mr.. Davis readily agreed to motion
for an executive session. The pro-
ceedlngs indicate clearly that there is
to be no debate upon the Hawaiian
question in the ordinary acceptation
of that term, the friends of annexation
allowing the opponents of the project
to occupy all of the time. The only
speakers so far were Mr.. Morrill,, the
venerable senator from Vermont, one
of the republican opponents of annex
alton, and Mr.. Bacon (dem., Ca.
HOUSE.
washington, June 21.-The house
passed the general deficiency bill, car
rying $224,OOO,O0O. The bill occasioned
little debate and passed practically as

battery. is located in Milwaukee AND
lost four of it's eight companies under
the first call, they being taken to bring
the first regiment up to the required
strength. To these four remaining
companies will be added volunteer
companies from Viroqua, Platteville
Merrill, Washburn, Stoughton, Green
Bay, Waukesha and Stevens Point
When mustered in the fourth will con-
tain 1926 and the battery 109, officers
and men.
Capt. Buck, u. S. A, will be the
mastering officer, and Lieut. F. NJ =.
Caldwell, U. S. A, will be quarter
master and commissary. The
troops will be modified at Camp
Douglas, the regular camping place of
the national guard because there they
can be better cared for than at Camp
Harvey near Milwaukee. The latter is
the grounds of the state fair, and it
was feared that if the troops were
modified there they might interfere
with the holding of the annual state
fair. Adjutant General Boardman of
the Wisconsin national guard will be
in command of the troops with the
rank of brigadier general, until they
are mustered into the United States
service. Part of these troops are old
members of the guard, and the rest
will be entirely law with the eXcep-
ton of the company at Stoughton
which had until recently been in the
national guard. The four Milwaukee
companies and the battery are we'll
trained and efficient troops. AS soon
as they are gathered at Camp Doug
las a board of medical officers will be
appointed to examine the men, and
they will Immediately thereafter be
mustered into the regular army.
The orders received by Governor
Scofield Monday were signed by Sec
Rotary Alger and were as follows:

QUICK HONORs FOR HOBsON.
President Decides to Push Promotion
of Hero of Santiago.

Washington, June q. Lieutenant
Hobson, the hero of the Me1rimac, will
be transferred from the construction
corps to the line Of the navy and raised
to the grade of lieutenant commander.
This will probably be done this week.
This action was definitely decided
upon by the administration Monday
and legislation empowering this action
will be pressed in both houses and its
execution will almost be Immediately
followed by the affixing of the eXecu-
tive's approval of the measure This
determination was reached after a
short informal consultation as to the
Spanish attitude on the exchange of
prisoners and the likelihood that
there will be no early release of the
gallant lieutenant and crew.

The naval officials have long known
that supplies of all kinds except raw
material have been reaching Havana
from the south by way Of Batabano
and the short line of railway connect
ing with Havana. They are not, how
ever, very deeply concerned at the
fact, as it is not believed to be the main
purpose Of the campaign to cause the
surrender Of the capital through
starvation of it's inhabitants. If this
any degree Of success it would mean
the determination of the very element
in Havana which the government de-
sires to protect, namely the civilians,
for without doubt there would be a
repetition in Havana of what is going
on in Santiago, namely. that all food
supplies are seized by the military ani
! twill 1oft To c+o
bano is not a blockaded port and this
exposes one Of the weaknesses of the
| blockade plan, as it leaves open a good
! seaport connected directly with Ha-
vana. The place is not included with
il the blockading line for two reasons.
In the first place the navy
did not have sufficient number
without running great risk Of having
the blockade declared ineffective. In
the second place, owing to shallow
water, large Ocean-g going craft, such as
could bring troops and munitions Of
war and other valuable war material
from Spain, could not get into port
Nevertheless in view of the degree to

naval officers have determined to
tighten the guard lines around the
south coast Of Cuba.

ficient number of vessels of smaller
type to make it almost certain thai
nothing shall cross between Jamaica
and CuCba on the south without pass

Camaras Cadiz squadron and appears
to be in the Mediterranean bound for
African shores.
Great Secrecy Maintained
Madrid, June 1S.-Great secrecy is
maintained here in regard to the des-
tination of Camara's fleet Work on
the Notifications OF the different ports
of Spain is being actively pushed and
it is asserted that a third squadron Of
warships is to be formed Immediately,
composed of Cardinal Cisneros, Lap
anto, Alfonso XIII and other cruisers.
Cadiz is to be the rendezvous of this
squadron. The general opinion here
is that a protracted war is ahead.
Spanish Power Crumbling.
Manila, June 16.-Via Hong Kong
Spanish power is crumbling in the
Philippine islands. Gen. Pena and
/ 900 Spanish soldiers surrendered at
Santa Cruz, and similar sur1enders
have taken place at La Gdna and
Pampanga In each case hardly any
body was killed. 1t is reported that
Admiral Dewey is not in a position to
restrain the insurgents, but their con-
duct is satisfactory. There is no ne
cessity for interference as no excuses
whatever have been committed. This
is partly due to the merely nominal
resistance against the insurgents. They
propose to form a republic under an
Anglo-Saxon tutelage and threaten u
visit with severe penalties natives
who have become turncoats,
especially in the case of Palermo, a
prominent native protege of the Span
iards. An artillery explosion killed
six Spaniards and wounded many
others. The ammunition Of the Span
iards is utterly untrustworthy because
it is old and rotten. Cart loads Of
food have been stored inside the wall
ed citadel, with the intention OF
standing a siege and defying the
American warships. But the idea is
ridiculously preposterous, for the
citadel, so called, is totally untenablt
against the fire of modern warships

Speech she knows from Greek to Ger
