STRANGE MISREPRESENTATION

Is all the army gathered in Tampa and Cape Thomas (sic) like that? The reports coming from there will answer the ques- tion, for our war correspondent gives a vivid description of camp life in Key West, where the old piratical traditions of that former nest of pirates are being now resuscitated. Since the sailors, the cowboys, the Indian scouls (sic). the black regiments and the prairie riders have awakened the old instincts. the people and Key West is to-day den of robbers; the boldest imagination could not find colors bright enough to represent the TO- mantle traits of such scene. The motley mob plunders there in broad daylight, steal every thing on which they can lay hands, and break into the hotels-mostly improvised structureS-and into all Gov ernment buildings. It was high time to proclaim martial law there, for the reg ideas of discipline, have begun to assist their plundering brethren. There, between Tampa, Cayenne, Hayti and Panama there always existed in times of peace an innumerable crowd of broken-down fugi- tives from European law courts, of ad- venturers and desperadoes, such as no other region of the globe ever saw. Now they have all met there. The ships captured by the American navy do not ceedings; on some of them everything movable has been stolen; whole cargoes of wine and cigars are missing. When some time ago the Government decided tn send two of those ships to New Orleans the sailors rebelled and would not sur render them without a fight-Extract from Bund, Berne.

But there was more than warmth Of hospital ity and heartiness of welcome in yester- days tumultuous ovation. It was the pa triotic sentiment back of the. demonstra- ton which made it so expressive.

Senator White Replies to Oakland's s
 Board of Trade

Board or Trade.
 That Senator White is not in accord with the Oakland Board of Trade on the subject of Hawaiian annexation is evil denced by the following reply to the res olutions of that body which were sent to him:
 Committee on Commerce,
 United States Senate.
 Washington, D. C., June 12, 1898. Craigie Sharp Esq, Secretary Board of Trade Oakland, Cal.-Dear Sir: I have received resolutions of the Oakland Board of Trade adopted the 2d instant. My views with reference to annexation have been so often expressed that 1t is unnecessary to go into the subject again. I am utterly opposed to the whole scheme and consider 1t originated in the illegal and outrageous conduct of former Minister Stevens. Ths main supporters of the project have been drawing down millions every year, which ought to go into the treasury of the United States. The pretense that we neeu Hawaii for coaling station is unsus- tained. If the Government really desires a coaling station Pearl Harbor affords the necessary location and can be made as the Board of Engineers have reported, not only desirable for that purpose, but much more so than Honolulu, which, according to the testimony of General Schofeld, can not be easily defended.
 There Is no trouble as to coaling even at Honolulu. The suggestion that Euro pean powers or Japan object is untrue. 1Ou Say. H6 ulSldnCS between Manila and San Francisco via Honolulu being ap- proximately one thousand miles shorter than by Unalaska, the only other coaling station, which lies away to the north and out of the direct lines of travel" As a matter of fact, the distance via the Aleu- tian Islands from San Francisco to Manila Is nearly 800 miles shorter than via Hon olulu.
 You have probably taken an ordinary map and paid no attention to the Great Circle. The map showing Tracks for full-powered steam vessels issued by the Government, will show that I am right By consulting this you will have no diffl- culty in noting that you are a couple or thousand miles out of the way
 desire in every way to accord with the views of all of my constituents. but if is impossible to comply with the wishes of every one, however much they may have my personal respect. l have not reached a nasty conclusion, but on the contrary have made up my mind after careful in- vesttgation as to all the bearings of this important subject. Yours truly

Why I have been in his company again and again and we both enjoyed ourselves immensely" For three minutes Mrs. Plum held her breath. Charles M. has been ex- blaming ever since.

SENATOR PROCTOR RETURNS.
Speaks Guardediy OF the Maine Dis

Was Outside.

Washington, March IA. - Senator
Proctor. of Vermont, and his compan-
ion, Col. Myron NJ. Parker, who have
been spending some time in Cuba, re-
turned TO Washington Sunday night at
1885. Senator Proctor was met at the
station by friends and was driven at
once 10 his residence. Senator Proctor
said that he did not desire 10 discuss his
trip at present, and that further than TO
commend the good work Miss Clara
Barton was doing in Cuba he had said
nothing in the way Of an interview
The Post claims 10 have had an inter
view with Senator Proctor, In which the
latter said:
Concerning the cause OF the Maine dis
aster I feel free 10 say that such informa-
ton as / have obtained Indicates that the
explosion was from the outside. IL does
not show that the Spanish government or
any OF It's officials in Havana were partici-
pants in the crime. In the first place do
not think there were any mines In the
harbor. have not the slightest knowledge
OF what the decision OF the naval court OF
inquiry Will be, or when II will reach Wash
ington. Such information as have Is en-
tirely OF an unofficial character"
Col. Parker commended most highly
the action pursued by Consul-General
Lee, who, he said, was a man fitted for
his place in every respect, from what he
had seen Of his administration of affairs
there. "The matter OF his recall
reached there just little before the
contradiction and was not credited. II
was denied that his return TO this coun-
try was wanted" he said. In regard TO
the question as TO whether the impress
sion prevailed in Havana that the Maine
was destroyed by external influences,
Col. Parker spoke guardedly. He said,
however, that the same impression pre-
vailed there as did here. There was
little or no war talk.
