RESOLUTIONS PA SSED.

The resolution for the annexation
of Hawaii passed the senate last week
|by vote of forty one to twenty one,
exactly the two thirds majority. which
was required. 1t is expected that
President Dole of the Hawaiian re-
|public will be notified at once that
this resolution has become a law
that he may:call session of the Ha-
|waiian legislature for the ratification
|of the resolutions by that government.
According to the terms Of the reso-
buttons the present laws of the United
States governing public lands will not
|apply to such lands in the Hawaiian
islands, but Congress is to enact
|speciaI laws for their management.
IAN revenue from, or proceeds of the
same, except such part as may be
|hsed or occupied for the civil, military
|or naval purposes of the United States,
|or NAV be assigned for the use of the
local government, shall be used solely
For the benefit of the inhabitants of

bublic purposes. Until Congress can

islands they are to be governed by
| such person or persons as the presl-
dent of the United States shall direct,
and in such manner as he may direct.
Foreign treaties which govern this
country are to govern the islands also.
The public debt of the islands, lawful
| ly existing at the time of the passage
of these resolutions, is to be assumed
| by the government of the United
States, but the liability shall in no
case exceed 100000 There shall
be no further immigration of Chinese
into the country except as allowed by
the laws of the United States.
These islands are situated 1000 miles
from the United States but they are
directly in line with navigation in
the Pacific. It may be said to be
new policy for the government to
pursue and just what it's effect will be
remains to be seen. From strategi-
cal point of view it would seem that
they should belong to this country,
even if the country remains as it is,
while if we are to attempt to keep
foothold in the Philippines it would
be ne cessary that we have control of
the Hawaiin islands to pe used as a
coaling station in order to maintain
our hold there i'll time of war. If the
islands should not prove the blessing
to the country that is claimed by
the friends of annexation we do not
bell eve that their annexation can do
us any great harm. We shall never
follow the policy up to the extent that
has made England the great colonial
power it is. We may be obliged to
retain some of the possessions which
have come into our hands through
the present war, but the country will
never pursue a policy which will cause
it to be known as a land gra bbing
nation, and we do not believe that
there is any need of worry ing for fear
that we shall in the future seek wars
for territorial conquests, and with the
preparations which are being made
for war at present we doubt if we shall
have another forced upon US for many
years.

OF all the salaried or Presidential
posto- -ftices in Vermont, there are only
twelve this year that show an increase
over last year in the salary of the
po stmaster, and one of them is Hyde
Park, which is raised from $1,000 to
s17OO. 1t is only eight years since
Hyde Park becan a "PresidentiaP'
office. Before that time, the post
master received less than $1,000. The
gro with in the Hyde Park Office runs
practically parallel with the growth of
ex-Gov. Pages calf skin business;
$1,000 salary means a business of $500
to s21OO, and a s17oO salary means
business of $4,000 to $4,000, an increase
of nearly 800 per cent. We think no
other town in the state approaches
Hyde Park in it's ratio of growth in
this Department. and Citizen.

Lieut.. Hobson and his seven brave
comrrdes who assisted him in sinking
the collier Merrimac in the channel
leading to Santiago harbor, and who
have been imprisoned inside the Span

They were escorted through the

THE SPANISH FLEET DESTRO YED.

The Spanish feet under Admiral
Cervera made dash out of Santiago
harbor, Sunday morning, July 3rd, at
about $3.50 p. M, and attempted to
break through the American block
aiding fleet. Admiral Sampso n on the
| flagship New York, was about six miles
down the coast taking look at some
of the fortifications, but Commodore
Schley, who was in command during
the absence of the Admiral, immedi-
ately signalled the fleet to close in on
them and in short time all Of the
| Spanish fleet except the Chfistobal
Colon had been driven back where
they were beached and set on fire.
The one vessel which succeeded in
breaking away was followed close by
the flagship Brooklyn and the battle
ship Oregon and after a running fight
along the coast for about sixty miles
the Colon was beached and her flag
run down. It was we'll known to Ad-
miral Cervera long ago that there was
no hope for. him in trying to break
through the line which the block
aiding vessels had formed along the
opening to the harbor but it is under
stood that he had been ordered to
make the dash by his home govern
ment, as unless he did this he would
be obliged to surrender his ships to
the American admiral or destroy them
in the harbor, and the Spanish officials
feared the effect of such a course on
the people of Spain, consequently the
movement was ordered in order to
save the home government from be-
ing overthrown by the opposition.
In SIMPSONS feet only one man
was killed and few others in jured,
while the Spaniards lost about six
hundred in killed and wounded and
about thirteen hundred, including
Admiral Cervera, fell into the hands
of the United States as prisoners of
war. 1t cannot even be claimed that
the Spanish fleet was worthless, for,
vessel for vessel, it should have been
nearly match for our battleships,
but the trouble seemed to be with the
craftsmanship of the Spanish gunners.
The gunners on board Commodore
Schley's fleet combined rapidity of
action with precision and smothered
the enemy with their fire. The battle
seemed like the one at Manila, the
Spaniards were utterly helpless in the
face Of the terrible storm poured upon
their decks. Had the Spanish cruis
ers been manned by American or En-
glish sailors some of the blockaders
would have been terribly damaged and
perhaps sunk. This finishes the only
formidable fleet which the Spaniards
have and squadron is to be sent i'm
mediately to attack the :coasts of
Spain or to hunt out the fleet which
has been sent to the Philippines and
to destroy it, but If it should not be
overtaken before it reaches the Phil

Dispatches from London state that
most of the weekly papers think the
moment opportune for Spain to sue
for peace; and they advise her to do
so.
The Saturday RevieaD says; s'The
United States is in a position to act
chivalrously toward an honorable op-
ponent, who, if defeated, is not dis
graced."
The Spectator has, however, little
faith in talk of peace and does not be-
lieve Spain will make peace until
literally compelled. It thinks the
American terms will be too hard to
tempt Spaniards to abandon their
ideas of what in the way resistance is
demanded of them by national hon.
or.
The weeklies pay highh tribute to
the American navy.
The Speaker says: s'The Santiago
fight proves that as far as the feet is
concerned, the Un tied States need
not fear comparison with any other
country in the world"
The Spectator draws as conclusion
from the battle the conviction that
the American feet could face even
the French feet with cut great risk
of disaster, and it says: $50 far as

REAL OBJECT OF THE PRESENT
WAR.

WAR.
At Philadelphia, Pa. July 4th. Ex
United States Senator George F.
Edmunds delivered the Grafton Of
the day. He said in part.
The events OF the Rev olution and
the brave and brilliant achievements
Of our little army and navy are fam
liar to you all. Very recent events
have shown, and am sure events to
come will show, that the courage.
skill, and patriotic energy of our
militay and naval forces have been in
no wise diminished since the old days,
and that the sole and declared object
of the war will have been attained by
the departure of the Spanish and the
government of Cuba.
The main secret of the establish
ment of the United States and their
continuance as one republic, an in
destructible union of indestructible
States, lies obviously:
First-In the moral character of the
people of the colonies and of the
States succeeding them. They un-
derstood and sincerely believed in
justice between man and man. They
believed in the liberty, not only of
political opinion and action, but also
in the absolute necessity of peaceful
order to the preservation of just lib
erty of any kind.
Second-The aggregate unity of the
people, whatever may be the system
of governmentAthe unity in race,
language and general religious views
and the cooperative similarity of their
pursuits and inclinations-is one of
the most powerful elements of stabil-
ity and happiness.
Third-Perhaps the greatest i'm
provement of all is in the educated
intelligence of the great mass Of
the active components Of the social.
religious and political organizations
of the country.
Fourth opportunity afforded
by climate, physical nature and law
to everyone to become a proprietor
of land and the occupant of his own
home
These have been the solid, and I
it is not too much to say the indespen-
sable foundations on which our repub-
lie of one people and many States has
been raised and stands secure.
1t was not territorial aggrandize-
ment or the spoils of war thar led our
Government to begin the war against
Spain, disturbing our trade, greatly
increasing our taxes and public debt,
and more than all sacrificing the lives
of many Of our citizens. 1t was sole
ly to relieve the neighboring people
from the "abhorrent conditions i'm
posed upon them by Spain, and which
had become a disgrace to "Christain
civiliz alton" and which had culmin-
ated in the destruction Of the Maine,
with great many of her officers and /
crew.
Neither what is called Imperialism
nor jingoism were allowed, even by
to play any part in this
great and terrible drama of war.

brave and self sacrificing men who
are advancing the power and the

A Diamond High Road.

A highrOad which in some parts rep
resented value of $1,000 a yard has
some claim to be considered the most
remarkable road in the world.
During the early years Of the South
African diamond mines there was such
a scarcity of water that many miners
were compelled to dispense with 1t and
to search for their diamonds as best
they could In the dry earth.
In the process of years the debris
from which the diamonds had been ex-
tracted reached such mountainous pro-
portions that every miner was glad
when the municipal council of Kim
berley undertook to remove these
mounds to use In matchmaking the
new roads OF the rapidly growing city.
Fifteen years later the depreciation
in the price of diamonds caused the
owners of mines to restrict the output,
and hundreds of miners were thrown
out Of work. 1t occurred to some of
them that with a plentiful supply Of
water it might be possible to rescue
some overlooked stones from the debris
of which the road had been made, and
on petition they were permitted by the
municipal council to make the attempt.
Each year a portion of a road was as
signed to them. and to the miners de-
light diamonds of the value Of 100000
were recovered yearly. One particular
patch OF road, as small as the floor of
a suburban sitting produced no
less than 100000 worth of diamonds, or
at the rate of s 166 a square yard.
