LATEST FROM HAWAII.
Admiral Miller Ordered Home-An-
nexation Rumors.

nexation Rumors.
San Francisco, May 9.-Advices by
the City Of Pekin are as follows:
Honolulu, May Admiral Miller and
his personal staff received orders by
the steamship Alameda on the 2Sth 30
proceed at once to San Francisco, and
there to await further orders.
The admiral does not believe that the
islands are in any danger of attack
from the Spanish, particularly as they
are neutral.
1t is stated on excellent authority
that several vessels in the Hawaiian
trade viii likely apply for Hawaiian
registers within the next few weeks, if
Spain and the United States are at
war. Sailing under a neutral flag, they
could continue in the trade without en-
dangering their cargoes. Owners feel
confident. that sooner or later the ISL
ands viii be annexed to the United
States, and that Their ships would be-
come American again, so that the ex-
would be more than covered in the
saving of insurance It is expected
that insurance rates win he very high,
If hostilities have already opei ed.
According TO a local paper, instead
of the Hawaiian islands being annexed
aS a war measure Immediately on the
outbreak of hostilities with Spain, the
prospect is that they will virtually be
abandoned by the United States until
the war is over. 1t is understood from
several sources of good authority that
the United States has already asked
Great Britain to dispatch a cruiser to
these islands, on the outbreak of war
in order that United States vessels
now stationed here might be permitted
TO return home to do their share in pro-
tecting Pacific coast cities.

Tampa, Fla, May 9.-The steamer
Gussie, one of the Mallory line boats
chartered by the government for use as
q transport, viii sail for Cuba before
morning, loaded with arms. ammunition
and supplies furnished by the United
States government for the use of the
Cuban insurgents. A company OF 100
United States troops from the First reg
1ment Of infantry will accompany the eX-
petition and aid in guarding the LANDING
Of the valuable cargo, and Will, II neces-
Sary, penetrate into the interior lar
enough &c place the supplies IN the
hands of the insurgents. The expedition
viii be in charge of Captain w. h Dorst,
General Miles aide, who has just re-
turned from Cuba
The Gussie has on board between 5000
and 1000 Springfield rifles about 2OoVOO
rounds of ammunition and several nun
dred boxes of provisions, consisting
principally of canned meats and hard
tack The utmost secrecy is maintained
regarding the point of landing, but in
view of Captain Dorsts recent landing
near Havana, where he communicated
with the insurgent leader, General Del
gado, il is believed that the expedition
will be headed for a point not far from
Havana. The Gussie had mounted on her
forward deck today one-pounder rapid
she will be met at some point not far
from Key West by a gunboat from the
blockadinS squadron and escorted to the
designated landing place.
The Whitney, the sister ship of the
Gussie, which sailed for Dry Tortugas
Saturday, with two companies OF the
Fifth infantry, returned today. 1t is in
timated that she will follow the Gussie
20 Cuba as soon as the arms ammunition
ard supplies can be landed. Before
week has passed, it is believed. the in
surgent leaders will have been furnished
with arms enough for at least 1900 men,
and with a base of supplies established
on the coast. a vigorous campaign
against the Spanish forces will be in
augurated.
It is stated on the best of authority
that no order for the embarkation of
troops from Tampa has yet been received
and that none is expected at present
the plan Of campaign in Cuba has been
decided upon already. no movement of a
large body of troops from here is pos
sible for several days. 1t will take
some time to prepare the transports, and,
moreover nearly half the supplies neces-
sary for the army of invasion have yet
TO be received. At the present rate of
progress, and taking into account the
time necessary for landing troops. it is
take place before the end Of the week,
IL not later.

of equipment here is going on and is re-
garded as final preparation for move
ment of the regular troops toward the

not one was lost and only eight injured,
and those slightly. All of our ships es-
capped any serious damage.
BY the 4th of May, Commodore Dewey
had taken possession of the naval station
at Cavfte, destroying the Notifications
there and at the entrance of the bay and
paroiing their garrisons. The waters of
the bay are under his complete control.
He has established hospitals within the
American lines where $50 of the Spanish
sick and wounded are assisted and pro-
tected.
The magnitude of this victory can hard
ly be measured by the ordinary stand
ards or naval warfare. Outweiehing any
material advantage is the moral effect of
achievement. the great heart of our ma
ton throbs. not with boastAg or with
greed of conquest, but with deep graft
tude that this triumph has come in a
just cause and that by the grace of God,
an effective step has been taken toward
the attainment of the wishes for peace.
To those whose skill. courage and devo-
ton have won the fight, the gallant COM
mander and the brave officers and men
who aided him. our country owes an in
calculable debt.
Feeling as our people feel, and speak
ing In their name. l at once sent a mes
sage to Commodore Dewey, thanking
him and his officers and men for their
splendid achievement and overwhelming
victory and informing him that had ap-
pointed him an acting real admiral. 1
now recommend that, following our ma
tional precedents and expressing the
gratitude. of every patriotic heart, the
thanks of congress be given Acting Rear
Admiral George Dewey of the United
States navy for highly distinguished
conduct in conflict with the enemy. and
to the officers and men under his COM
mand. for their gallantry in the destruc-
ton of the enemy's feet and the capture
of the enemy's Notifications in the bay

MIX THINGS UP.
Are Yet All at Sea As to Whether
They Will Really Go to Sea-Two
Captains Commissioned Yesterday.
Especial to The Herald.)


Boise. Ida. May 9.-There seems te
be considerable confusion about the
destination of the Idaho volunteers. One
| statement is to the effect that one bat
talon will be sent to Atlanta, and the
| other to Chickamauga. A bulletin this
afternoon made such an announcement,
but there is reason to believe that the
order viii be changed, and that the
entire regiment will go to the Philip
pines. ~
On Sunday Governor Steunenberg re-
ceived dispatch from Secretary of
War Alger, asking him how soon he
could get one battalion of the Idaho
troops ready to go to Chickamauga.
The dispatch stated that it was the de-
sire of the department to move one
battalion without waiting for the other
to get ready. On Saturday message
from Senator Shoup stated that he was
advised that the Idaho troops would be
sent to Manila.
After receiving the message of con-
tlary character from the secretary of
war, the governor wired Senator
Shoup, advising him of the contents of
the dispatch. In response he received
the following this morning, it having
been filed Sunday evening:
General Miles bids me to say through
are booked for Manila Tender my
congratulations and best wishes.
"(Signed) SHOUP."
That seemed to settle the matter, but
the receipt of the bulletin in the after
noon again caused confusion.
Lieutenant Walsh received a dispatch
during the afternoon from the comis-
sary at Vancouver, stating that travel
rations had been forwarded for oSe
battalion of the Idaho troops to Chicka-
manga, and one battalion to San Fran
cisco. From this it. would seem that
the department had determined at the
time the dispatch was sent the governor
to divide the troops, and that the order
had been sent to Vancouver to forward
rations, this having been done before
the time when Senator Shoup received
the assurance from General Miles. 1t
is, therefore, thought probable that
later dispatches will change the pro-
gIamme.

Governor Steunenberg says he is 100

physical examination. He has advices
that all the men needed can be re-

governor says both battalions will be

London, May 10.-Special dispatches
received from Rome describe the whole
sale delay and stoppage of kilograms

specials say. are largely the outcome
of crushing taxation, which makes even
salt cost 16 cents per pound. Thousands
of poor are thereby deprived and die
from the terrible disease poeligra. The
fact that General Huerch has been
made virtually dictator at Florence, is

London. May 1O.-The Daily News this
morning says it believes its kilograms
convey q faithful. and true picture OF
what is happening in Italy. but adds:
Owing to the censorship exercised our
readers will do well to take the dispatches
as undertaking rather than overstating
the seriousness of the situation. 1t begins
TO be question whether the caption The
War should not be transferred from the
Hispano-American conflict to Italian
riots"

Hon. j. Howard Taylor, member of
the Australian parliament, was at the
Knutsford yesterday en- route from the
west to London. Mr.. Taylor engaged in
mining in western Australia, where
last year the output of gold amounted
to $4,000 ounces, whereas for the first
three months of this year the product
was 225. 900 ounces. In the Coolgardie
district are vast deposits of tellurium
similar TO what Cripple Creek produces.
AS an evidence of the prosperity en-
Joyed in his section of country Mr..
Taylor cites the fact that the popula-
ton has increased from 10000 in 1880
TO 10000. the total of last years CEN
suS returns. The utilization of the
'jarrah." of which there are millions
OF acres in forests, is creating a great
industry. This hard wood is cut into
blocks and shipped to London, where it
is used for street paving. According to
Mr.. Taylor the Jarrah wood blocks are
used almost entirely now for repairing
London streets. and experience has
demonstrated that they make a durable
and satisfactory pavement.
Mr.. Taylor is as much elated over the
brilliant achievements of Dewey'S fleet
in Manila bay as any patriotic ,Ameri-
can citizen could possibly be. As he was
