NEARER STILL.

Looking more carefully over the
news received yesterday the outlook
for annexation seems to be exceed
ingly good. Both newspapers and pr-
vate letters all agree that when the
treaty comes to a vote the necessary
sixty will be found lined up in its IA
vor, and that though its enemies claim
that they can defeat it, it is but the
cry of those who like to make noise
in order to keep up their courage.
The strength of the position was
shown when Senator Davis and his
party refused to postpone the vote
upon the treaty till March list. The
Senator positively, according to re-
port in the Chronicle, said I'VE
have enough votes to insure ratifica-
ton" There is no more acute politi-
cal fighter, or IA more experienced onr,
than Senator Davis, and when he feels
his cause is safe we may be satisfied
that it is.
Those croakers who thought that
President Dole's visit was liable to be
hurtful to the annexation cause, may
now rest satisfied that their fears were
chimerical. Far from hurting the
cause the visit has been, as it was in
tended and hoped that it would be, a
distinct assistance. There had been
so much talk of piratical methods and
flibusters and so forth, that it was
well that the people of the United
States, and the Senators and Repre-
sentatives, should see what sort of a
pirate it was that had been chosen
President of the Hawaiian Republic.
Wherever President Dole has been
crowds have collected to see him and
to cheer him and he has been the re-
cipient of a round of brilliant enter
tainments, especially organized in his
honor. Even the opposition press,
which might have been expected to
find fault with the visit, has had
nothing but good will to express tow
ards President Dole.
Especially did Mr.. Dole show wis
dom in refusing the fuss and feath-
ers of a grand military reception.
AS the head of small republican
state which has done with the tawdry
trappings of royalty forever, he was
justified in asking that the republican
simplicity of which he is the embodi-
ment should be respected. The eff
feet upon the general public of the
United States has been very good.
1t is impossible to predict when
the vote upon the treaty may be TAX
en-, but we can feel assured that it
will not be very long. Most probably
before the end of this month. If such
should prove to be the case, the end
will have been reached far sooner
than any, except the over sanguine
could expect. The fact that while 9th,
islative action, the Hawaiian treaty
holds a foremost place in the Senate
shows how much is thought of TIL,
question, and of how great Importance
it is regarded both by friends and
foes.
There is every reason, therefore
for annexationists to rest peacefully
and feel satisfied that the battle is be
ing ably conducted, that though the
fight is not won, yet that we are yer,
near victory, and that the moment il
steadily drawing closer, when eacf
present citizen of Hawaii will be able
to write, Civis Americans Sum!

from off Havana 10 the blockading
squadron off Matanzas, being the first
dispatch boat to visit the United States
vessels cruising off this part of the
coast The Dauntless left the squadron
at Havana, just after the flagship New
York sailed, presumably for Key West.
She followed the flagship for an hour
and then gave UP the chase, as the
destination of the New York was ap-
parently clear. She was alongside the
Indiana for awhile. The Wilmington.

further in-shore The Iowa, following
the orders of Rear Admiral Sampson,
was far enough off Havana to escape

There has been no incident worth
noting since the capture of the Spanish
