HAWAII WILL GO OVER.
An Agreement That Annexation Shall
 Not Be Pressed This Session

Washington, May 25-The active opponents of Hawaiian annexation ill the senate it is learned. agree to an arrangement for daily sessions of the senate, beginning at Il o'clock, only aller an understanding with a num- Der of republican senators that the Hawaiian question should not be ear nestly pressed in the senate in any form this session. Senators were ap- pealed to to expedite the considera- tion of the revenue measure and as . counter proposition asked that the Ha- waiian annexation be dropped
 No party arrangement resulted from those propositions, republicans being not agreed as party to leave the Ha- waiian issue go over, but a number of republican senators give assurance that Hawaiian annexation should be not seriously pressed at this session. These assurances, the senators hostile to annexation say, are sufficiently numerous to warrant them in believing an adjournment of congress will be taken without action.
 Advocates of Hawaiian annexation say republican caucus of the house on that issue will be held immediately alter adjournment tomorrow. They were active today and a sufficient number of members for the calling oi a caucus have subscribed to a paper now in the hands of Representative Grosvenor of Ohio, chairman of the caucus committee, but the call has not been issued.

 He strongly intimated, too, that if the

 not be necessary to provide so much revenue as the pending bill would

CERVERA AT BAY.

Key West, May 25.-There is noth- ing definitely known here about pos sible operations .n eastern Cuba, but the view is accepted at this place as fact that the Spanish fleet is block aded in Santiago, in which event naval opinion here is that it has committed suicide
 It is now no breach of confidence to say that Commodore Schley and Rear Admiral Sampson are believed to have Admiral Cervera within their reach and if the Spaniards are in San Liago harbor they can be blockaded and starved out. A single heavy American vessel can hold the harbor's s narrow exit, through which the Span- iards could emerge only singly.

SALUTED THE SPANIARD.
First Mark of Respect Since Their Af-
 fair With Dewey.

| New York, May 25.-A cablegram from Manila bay via Hong Kong to the Evening Telegram by a cores pondent, says: Arriving here yes terday on the McCulloch, I found the American squadron anchored off Ca
 vite, excep. one ship, which was pa 1 trolling the outside bay.
 1 Foreign warships. the Immortalire
 tEnglish), the Brink (French), the l Irene (German), and two Japanese iwarships were anchored off the city of
 Manila. The Japanese boat Naniwa l had arrived the night before and at noon saluted the port with twenty-one
 guns, which salute was returned by the shore batteries. This is the first salute the Spanish flag has received Il from any warships since the blockade was established. One Japanese vessel leaves tomorrow for Hong Kong. "Aguinaldo and twelve other insur- gents who came from Hong Kong OH the McCulloch, landed at Cavite yes Iterday. They tell me the rebels have taken possession of Subig, and have 50. 900 men ready to fight against the
 spaniards as soon as they get
 arms.
 "A report was brought to the flag ship last night that the rebels had at tackled the Spanish outposts of Ma nila The Spaniards were found to have turned the guns of their shore batteries landward for protection against the insurgents and the rebels made nothing more than recon noisSance in force.
 Ut is also reported that the lieuten- ant who commanded the Callao here has been shot after trial by summary court martial, and Admiral MOntejo has also been sentenced by the court martial. These rumors come through the crews of merchant vessels still here, but I do not have much conf dence in the accuracy of the reports"

 They are not willing to state the exact position of Sampson's fleet, but they say it is acting in connection with Schley and can come to his re- lief at any time should the situation require it.

AN EXCITING RACE.

New York, May 2s.-A special dis patch from Jupiter, Fla, to the Even ing World says Lieutenant A. R. Davis of the battleship Oregon came ashore there last night. Our race" said Lieutenant Davis, twas a most excit- ing one, especially after we left Ba- hia, for we knew then the possibility of interception. Captain Clark, how ever, kept the little fleet in constant readiness and had we run into the Spanish fleet we would have been heard from" The Marietta and Buff falo are with the Oregon.

Senor Polo succeeded in making sat,s- factory arrangempts for the eoaiing Of the fleet, but the agreement was 1roheIi by Ar,erican influence and the news of this fact drove the Spanish squadron from it's original intention of |toucning at Cape Breton, and made it Ftake refuge at santiago de Cuba. Since then the Spanish fleet has left on it's journey to CadiZ.
 Spain's tactics will be to trust to fever and the terrible expenses daily incurred by the American government, and she will not risk a repetition of the Manila disaster. Tn the fall. ]" the ambassador said, Spain will abandon Cuba after having made her |enemy pay dearly for his victory"
