ARE FOREIGN YET
No New Relation of Island
Ports Till Act Is Passed.
u. s. Attorney General Examining
Law-Registers-The Precedents.
Probable Ruling.

NEW YORK, July "a special TO
the Sun from Washington says: Al
torney General Grtggs, at the request
of Secretary Gage, is examining the
law with a view to advising the Treas
ury Department whether or not under
the NewIands' resolution, annexing
Hawaii to the United States, vessels
sailing under the flag of that Republic
are entitled, without additional Iegis-
lation, to fly the flag Of the United
States and receive American registers,
and also whether or not commerce be-
tween the Islands and the United States
is coastwise traffic, to be engaged in
only by vessels under our flag.
Legislative precedents answer the
first question in the negative. After
the purchase Of Louisiana in 1903. Con-
gress provided by enactment for the
issue Of American registers to vessels
owned by citizens of the newly ac-
quired territory, and in 1868, the year
after the purchase Of Alaska, a law was
passed duLnOfIZlng the secretary Oh
the Treasury to grant registers to yes
sells owned by citizens Of the new cCun-
try.
Upon the question of traffic between
Hawaii and the United States there is
a decision by the Supreme Court to
the effect that where a country came
under the jurisdiction IOf the United
States by purchase, the ports thereof
remained foreign ports until they were
declared to he domestic by act Of Con-
gTess.
Although Hawaii did not come in by
purchase, it is believed by the Treas
ury officials that the Attorney General
will hold that the ports of the Islands
at present, at least, are foreign ports,
and that commerce between them and
the United States is open to the yes
sells of all nations.

Philippine question, was marked by
great disorder. Senior Robledo attack

ing with Aguinaldo, the insurgent load
or. A scene of the greatest confusion
followed and the sitting was suspended.
When business was resumed Senior
Robledo said if the government desired
peace Spain had better negotiate d.
rectly with the United States, as the
powers would demand brokers' com
mission in case they interviewed.
Captain Auon said Senior Robledo's
remarks were insulting aud he charac-
terized the published interviews with
him as being distortions" He con-
cluded with the announcement that
Admiral Camara was co his way to the
Philippine Islands, to defend the Span
ish flag.
Another uproar was occasioned
by Senior Salmeron denouncing an
attempt to close the debate.
When order was restored the Presi-
dent announced that the chamber
would meet 10 secret session to discuss
internal affairs.
The Senate yesterday discussed
the political situation. Senator Con
zales declared that the war policy
as well as Weyler's policy had
failed and autonomy had proved inef-
fectual, because it was attempted too
late. However, the Senator explained,
the attempt at autonomy was useful,
"as it will allow Spain to quit the
American hemisphere conscious of hav
ing made good attempt"
Senator Rodrigo urged the necessity
of uuion of the Lain races and con-
Guided by saying: "If Europe aban
dons us, and we are conquered, we
will fall with glory, reason and justice
on our side. If Europe abendons US
she will be disbonored for all posterity,
while Spain will have an honored
name in history, for she has spent
blood and treasure in discovering
America, which is repaying her with
ingratitude."
Marshall Campos concluded the de-
bate by saying: "If the conservatives
do not accept power in the event Of
their being cal o. upon to do so, then,
in order to maintain the dignity and
honor of Spain, 1 myself will pick it up,
even out of the gutter !" A bill max
ing the Cuban debt payable in pesetas
was adopted and the House adjourned.

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.

The republican State executive CON-
mittee met at Murphy's Hotel in Rich
mond last night to consider a PROPOSE
ton from the rival committee, presid.
ed over by Col. w. F. Wickham, look
ing to harmony in the party. Chair
man Park Agnew presided. The ne
gotiations grew out of conferences held
by Chairman Agnew and Col. Wick
ham, and the proposition Of the latter
was based on the olive branch that he
extended at the EbDitt House, Wash
iDgton, some weeks ago. This was,
however, rejected by the committee,
and some notifications were suggested.
These were ia turn considered by the
W.ckhamites, and a counter PROPOSE
ton was framed, but inasmuch es it
was not presented until 2 o'clock this
morning the committee laid the matter
on the table and adjourned until 10
o'clock to-day. Col. Wickham is san
guine as to the result, but the commit
teemen say that the factions are as far
apart as ever, and the second PROPOSE
ton cannot possibly be entertained by
them. The hitch seems to be in the
calling of congressional, city and coun-
ty conventions during the summer, the
Wickhsmites desiring the executive
committee under the Staunton plan to
assume the responsibility for the hold
ing of such conventions, which the 9TH
er faction insists on the wing repre-
sented by Mr.. Agnew being the only
one recognized.

Movements of the Army.

OFF JURAGA, province of Santiago de
Cuba, July 23.-The advance of the
American army has reached the edge
of the tablelend in which the harbor OF
Santiago de Cuba lies. Here, seven
miles from Moro Castle, the main body
of the troops has united and the Span
iards are in full retreat toward Santa
20 de Cuba. They may attempt sur
prise, but decisive engagement is not
expected for several days. General
Lawson's brigade, which rested last
night at Demajayaho, four miles west
of Baiquiri, resumed its march at day
light. Before noon his brigade, con-
sisting of three regiments of infantry
and eight or ten companies of cavalry,
occupied Juragua, five miles beyond,
and the American flag was hoisted
there. The Spaniards retired before
the advance, which was covered by
Cuban skirmishers, burning the block
houses as they went, but were in such
haste that they had no time to burn the
town, though an Intellectual effort was
made to destroy the locomotives Of the
railroad and the rolling stock. General
Liaares retreated to SaVilla, nine miles
from Santiago.
A detachment of 10 Cubans, under
Col. Aguirra, collided with the Spanish
rear guard. The Cubans lost two men
killed and had seven men wounded.
The Spanish loss is not known. One
Spaniard was macheted. General Chat
ZEE, with the 9th cavalry, the remain
der OF the Sth and 4th, 18th and 18th
Infantry reached Juragua at dark.
General Bates, with the reserve Of the
10Th infantry and Col. Woods rough
riders, dismounted, with dynamite
gun, hurried forward from Baiquiri at
o'clock, proceeding by forced march
es. When the couriers brought the
news that Juragua had been occupied,
the troopships which had not disem-
barked their troops, steamed to Jura-
qua with the view of landing them
there. But The heavy sea beating on
the beach made it impossible to get
the boats through the surf
The Cubans expect the first stand to
be made at Sayilla. Strong outposts
ale maintained at night in order to pre-
vent surprise. The Spaniards, to at
tack our troops, must make a forced
march through an almost impeuetrable
underground. There were only two
casualties during the landing of the
troops at Baiquiri. Two colored SOL
diers fell between lighter and pier
and were crushed to death. Several
horses and mules were drowned while
swimming ashore through the surf.
