TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE14 1898.

THE ANNExATIoNIsTs in the New
Eogland States, thousands OF miles
from the Pacific coast, say the United
States must annex the Hawaiian Islands
as a defense of the cities on that coast;
but the San Francisco Chronicle, right
on that coast, and certainly better
qualified to Judge OF the defanses there
of, says, and truly This seaboard is
secure even though all the cruisers and
monitors go to the East. Even without
a navy it can rest in peace" But Cali
fornia people would not be profted as
much by the annexation of Hawaii as
some of the citizens of the New England
States, and few in other States.

THE REASON WHY-A contemporary
asks why, if the Cubans in the field
have but few scattered bands, it
should be necessary for Spain to sup
port an army OF mora than 100000 to
look out for them. The reason is that
Spain has great deal of territory to
protect AMI cannot tell at what point
the scattered bands may unite and
strike. During the civil war Col.
Mostly, with 800 mep, neutralized q
federal army of 10000, that being the
number of federsls detailed to guard
railways, towns, wagon trains and sup
ply depots which Mosby threatened.
Precisely the same conditions, though
ou q broader scale, exist in Cuba

THE colonial possessions OF Spain
amount to a little over four hundred
and FIVE thousand square miles; those
of England, France and Germany, 20
millions each. But, according to the
LIMOGES, ali those OF the former must be
taken away frem her and annexed to
the United States. The ratio OF the
people in Canada who desire annexa-
ton to this country, to those who do
not, is about the same as thatin Cuba
norhing like as great as that in Ireland;
bat nobody thinks OF attempting to
despoil England OF any OF her colonial
possessions.

BAD CONDUCT OF VIRGINIA Troops
A dispatch from Richmond ssvs.

- o'Se@sNA4 AAOSLA says
The official reports as to the conduct of
some OF the members of the Virginia troops
st Jacksonville, Fla, have caused much COM
nent, and mspy say that they anticipated
just such behavior on the part of some of
ihOss who were allowed 10 enlist in regiments
from tbs State. When the troops were in
camp st Richmond the appearance OF many of
the soldiers Sat the talk of the town, and the
words "tramps' Sna "toughs" were more than
once used in connection with them These
men begged on the streets Of Richmond, and
more than once made themselves offensive to
pedestrians. That they should continue Il. cir
practices st Jacksonville is no surprise 10
chose who commented upon them in such an
anfaVorable manner when they were at the
State capital. 1t is understood that one of
she requirements of any person enlsting in
the United States army is that he shall prove
q good character, moral and otherwise, and
there are those who are outspoken in declar-
ing tha: if due regard to this qualification
had been exercised Virginia would net now
have cause to feel ashamed of any of her

HOUSE.

A few private bills were disposed OF
and the Hawaiian debate proceeded.
Mr.. Grosvenor was recognized first and
introducing his remarks said the pend
ing question was not one for party pol
itics and he would not appeal to any Of
his republican colleagues who might op-
pose annexation to 60 contrary 10 their
convictions and support annexation
as q party project. Arguing for
the constitutionality of the proposed
annexation he commended the pow
er was given to Congress in the
general welfare" clause Of the consti-
tuition. Mr.. Grosvenor said he sdyo-
Gated the resolutions upon ground en-
tirely separated from any war emer-
geney. He saw in the near future 8
wonderful development in the com
merce Of the east and in order to pro
vide for the western part of the country
TO secure just and profitable share in
that wealth OF commerce, this WAY
house upon the highway of the Pacific
was essential.
Mr.. Richardson followed in opposi'
NiOA W VIC PSAOiIS LDcdSuICf IHl
down the general proposition that Only
self interest should be considered in
contemplating any step affecting the
government and from that point OF
view alone would he treat annexation
and read from former President Wash
ington's farewell address, his notable
words OF caution against foreign Ell
langlements. After reviewing the
composition of the Hawaiian popuIa'
ton Mr.. Richardson discussed the CUES
tion of the disposition of the islands
and referred to the fact that friends OF
annexation had admitted candidly they
had no fixed plan of government, say
ing that was a problem to be solved
after annexation was accomplish.
The gentleman from Ohio, Mr..
Grosvenor," interiected Mr.. johnson,
who was was an attentive listener, said

they will be governed and that is the
kind of statesmen who are urging
blindly this proposition. They don

Preparations are being made to receive

Discharges have been numerous from
the hospital this week. there being now
something over 800 only. Sixty men
from various commands were yesterday
discharged on furloughs and left TO visit
their homes and further recuperate be-
fore rejoining their commands. Only a
small percentage Of the men now in the
wards are sick. and all. or nearly all of
