BERLIN, July 2.-On the best author
ity, the correspondent here of the As
ISOLATED Press is informed that Ger
many, France and Russia have reached
an understanding to interfere in the
philippines, when hostilities cease. To
prevent the United States or Grea.
Britain gaining possession of all the
islands.
When the war is over an Interna-
tional Congress will be proposed, SIM
liar TO the Berlin Congress Of 1878. TO
settle all questions connected with the
war. All the great powers will be in
vited to join, including the United
States and Spain. 1t appears certain
that Germany will then demand a slice
OF the Philippines islands or other
compensation In the Far East.
The correspondent OF the Associated

Spanish Rule Hangs Ia the Balance.

The decisive battle has been fought.
The Spanish feet that has so long been
theme for comment and ridicule. un-
der the command of Admiral Cervera.
blockaded in Santiago harbor, has gone
to the bottom of the sea.
With its disappearance practically
all naval opposition in Cuban waters to
the successful promotion of the war bv
our forces is gone.
Santiaeo's surrender Is hardly a ues-
ton OF days-possibly not hours. All
redoubts outlying the city are in pos
session of Skaters land forces.
CONSERVATION prevails among Span
ish official leaders. And we'll it NAV.
Two OF its fleets sunk: riot and threats
ofviolence from the disappointed masses
at home because Of the awful disasters
that have go rapidly fallen to the fate
OF the army, is quite enough to make
the strongest heart quail.
Added to this is a shortage in the
slnews OF war, and famine's gaupt
spectre-like shadow is falling ath wart
the once boosted proud domain of Spain.
The handwriting is on the wall and
retrioution, moet righteously admins
tered, shall soon have become a matter
OF history, and Spanish semi-barbaric
rule in the Western hemisphere a
thing OF the forgotten past.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
The President Requests the American
People to Offer Praise to Ged For the
Success Of American Arms.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Presiden'
Mckinley at 1l:i0 tonight issued the
following proclamation to the Ameri,
can public:
ITO the people of the United States Of
America:
AT this time, when to the yet fresh
remembrance of the Unprecedented
success which attended the operations
OF the United States feet in the bay OF
Manila on the first day OF May last.
are added the tidings of the no less
glorious achievements OF naval and mil
itary arms OF our beloved country at
Santiago de Cuba. it is fitting that we
should pause, and, staying the feeling OF
exultion that too naturally attends
great deeds wrought by our countrymen
in our country's cause, should reverent-
ly bow before the throne OF divine grace
and give deyout praise to God who hold
eth the nations in the hollow of His
hands and worketh upon them the mar
vels OF his high will, and who has thus
far vouchsafed to US the light of his face
and led our brave soldiers to victory.
Il therefore ask the people Of the
United States on next assembling for
divine worship in their respective
places Of meeting to offer Thanksgiving
to Almighty God, who in His inscrutibIe
ways, now leading our hosts upon the
waters to unscathed triumph, now guild
ing them in strange land through the
dread showers Of death TO success even
though at fearful cost, now bearing
them without accident or loss TO far
distant cline, has watched over our
cause and brought nearer the success
OF the right and attainment of Justice
aud honorable peace. With the ma.
lions thanks let there be mingled the
nations praises that our gallan. sons
may be shielded from harm on the bat
dedeid and In the clash Of fleets NAV he
spared the scourge OF suffering and dis
ease while they are striving to uphold
their country's honor, and, withal, let
the nations heart be stilled with holy
awe at the thought of the noble men
who have persisted as heroes die and
ne hlied with compassion and symnatbv
Tor all those who suffer bereavement mr.
endure sickness, wounds and bonds nv
reason OF their awful struggle.
And, above all, let US pray with
earnest 'ervor that, He, the dispenser
OF all good, may speedily remove from
US the untold Affections of war and
oring 70 our dear land the blessings of
restored peace and 10 all the domain
noN raVaged by the cruel strife, the !
priceless boon Of security and Tranquil. /

Hawaiian Annexation.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-There Il a
prevailing opinion In the Senate tina, A
vote will be reached on the Hawaiian
annexation resolutions some time dur
ing the coming week. The opponents
OF the resolution say that vote Is i'm
possible next week, and say that at the
inside limit the debate will run a week
from next Wednesday. The contes,
seems TO have settled to this situation /:
II the friends Of annexation are able
to maintain quorum until the end of
the week, 1t is probable ,ha, the oppo-
nents will consider further opposition
OF a flibustering nature useless. and
some arrangements for vote will be
reached.
The first admission Of any kind BY
the opposition that the end was In sight
was a partial assent to the suggestion
that a vote might be reached after ten
days more debate. 1t has been be-
iieved by the opposition that, after the
appropriation bills we're passed, a quo
rum could not be maintained. These
bills are practically out of the way
now, as the deficiency bill will proba-
bly, pass Tuesday. Mex, week will de.
termine the staying powers Of the an.
nexationists. When It is demonstrated
that quorum will stay, then 1t is ex.
pected the opposition will yield and
vote be taken.

TO COMPEL ENFORCEMENT.
Labor Organizations of Maine Engaged in
Important Move.

6 The labor organizations of the state are
raising funds with a view to bringing
about a better enforcement OF the laws
against child labor. The sum desired
for the purpose is $500, and subscriptions
are said to be rapidly coming In. Inc
plan is to hire the best legal talent OBJ
tainable and make test case of some one
of the many violations of the child labor
law.
Prosecution will be against some corpo-
ration violating the law, against the
factory inspector for not enforcing the
laws and against the parents of children
who give bogus certificates of children s
ages.
Information is already being gathered
for use in prosecuting the Suits
All over the state cotton mills are
throwing out mules and replacing them
by ring spinning, thus putting children
in the place of men. 1t is claimed that
all the child labor law was enforced and
the corporations obliged to employ adults
or boys and girls of even the required age,
the mule would be cheaper and temper be
retail ned.
What counsel will be retained or what
corporation will be proceeded against first
cannot be stated at this time, but If $500
is not enough to test the virtue Of the
courts and the laws, more money will be
raised.
