Especial Despatch to The Call.
CALL OFFICE, RIGGS HOUSE, |
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.S

OAbL OtfIIE, liOOOh,
WASHINGTON, Feb. o.
The speech OF Representative
Henry U, johnson Of Indiana in the
House to-day, opposing the annex
alton OF the Hawaiian Islands, is the
talk Of Washington tonight. 1t was
brilliant effort and created a sem
sation. He was not only applauded
by members Of his own party, but
when he had concluded the Demo-
cratic side (almost a unit in their
opposition to annexation) as we'll as
goodly number OF Representatives
on Mr.. Johnson's side Of the House,
arose and cheered wildly. He arous.
ed the members to high pitch of
enthusiasm. His speech is justly
regarded as one OF the most brilliant
that have ever been delivered in
Congress, His delivery was as rapid
as usual, and he maintained his
reputation as the fastest speaker in
Congress,
Thoughtful Republicans see that
they are forced to abandon the an
nexaton scheme. 1t is stated by
conservative members this evening
that the treaty will be abandoned
by the Senate within the next ten
days, and they admit that annexa-
ton by joint resolution, in view of
the pending Spanish troubles, is
very doubtful, if not hopeless. The
speech of Johnson in the House is
taken as warning. The scheme
need not look for support by fair
and patriotic men in that body if at
tempted by joint legislation.
Johnson's clear and emphatic de-
nunciation OF annexation fell like a
bombshell upon the annexatonists
in the House. He has been the
recognized supporter of the admin
istration in all its policies in the
past. Always a clear and convincing
speaker, to day johnson astonished
all who heard him by the force and
emphasis of his argument. The
crowded galleries broke into FREE
quent applause and members OF
both sides crowded about him to
hear his remarks and encourage him
to continue.
The reason for leading Repub.
licans abandoning the administra-
ton on this issue is we'll understood
They feel there will be enough coast
to defend along the Atlantic, Pacific
and Gulf States in the near future
without undertaking a patrol Of isl
ands 1000 miles out in the Pacific
To guard Hawaii in case of hostil
tiles would be- to divert from i'm
portant duty battle-ships that will
be none too numerous and effective
for protecting our present posses
sions.
The Republicans acknowledge the
force of this argument, and in the
face of impending trouble with
Spain shrink from undertaking more
work than will be forced upon then
under existing conditions.
Republican Senators admit tina
the treaty cannot command two
thirds of the vote OF that body, anC
are urging Chairman Davis to bring
the debate to an end by recommit
ting or abandoning it. They know
that joint resolution for annexation
, would bring endless debate in tn
open Senate.

INHABITANTS OF CUBA TO BE
 DULY WARNED
Proclamation From the American Commissioners as to
 Evacuation.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

For nearly four months this commits sion and other officials of the United States have been under the protection of the Spanish authority. The representa- tives of Spain have extended to us the most scrupulous courtesy and consfdera- tion, and not one unpleasant incident has marred our sojourn in their midst, and now that our positions are soon to be reversed and they are to become our guests and entitled to our protection, we must see to 1t that they enjoy the same immunity and consideration. Apart from the general propriety of such a course, the interests of all classes-Cubans, Span iards and Americans-will be thereby sub served.
 Acting under sense of duty to the peo- pie and to our Government, we give mo- tice that any violation of the terms and provisions of this agreement will be re- sented and offenders brought promptly to justice. Representing all classes and interests, we shall be governed by the strictest impartiality with the sole pur- pose of promoting the rehabilitation and pacif1cation of Cuba. The preservation of peace, the security to persons and prop erty, and the establishment and mainte- nance of government with just laws inn partially administered are indispensable to the welfare and happiness of the peo- pie We, therefore, confidently invoke the aid and cooperation of the inhabitants in accomplishing these ends.

 The undersigned desire in this public manner to press and enjoin upon all the people of the island the necessity for strict compliance with the terms Of this agreement to the end that public order and due respect for the gravity of the oc- casion may prevail, and especially to ad- nlonish all classes of people to exercise self-restraint and moderation and to re- frain from giving cause of offense or ir- ritation and from the exhibition or eX- citement or undue manifestations or reel ing. or from doing any act calculated 10 produce irritation or bad feeling.

ANGELS CAMP. Dec. 26.-The Baricilo mine, three miles from Sheep Ranch, was the scene of lively gun fight last night. As result a man named Nelson Is dead and Thomas Martin is seriously wound ed and in a precarious condition.

He had invited several friends to partake of his Christmas dinner, among them being Tom Martin and William Fair. As the dinner progressed the party grew more and more hilarious, and the more con- servative ones quietly left the scene of festivities, one at a time, until Fair and Martin were alone in the boarding house with Nelson. Nothing more is known of the progress of he brawl, which cul- minated in the death of Nelson and the wounding of Martin.
 At an early hour this morning Martin was found in a semi-conscious condition, with bullet wounds in his left groin, right thigh and left ankle. After brief search the body of Nelson was found in a chair in the boarding house. cold in death, with a loaded revolver lying on the floor by his side,

 IN 4 DENSE FOG Meeting of Freight and
 Passenger.
DISASTER NEAR SACRAMENTO
CONDUCTOR NAT IRwIN's FOOT
 CRUSHED.
Engineers and Bremen Leap for Their Lives and the Passengers Escape With
 Shaking.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 26.-In the dense fog which hung over the valley this morning there was a head-en col lision between two trains at Webster, a point between DavisviIle and Sacra- mento. Had it not been that one of the trains was moving along slowly there would have been great loss of life, but as 1t was only the conductor of one of the trains received injuries, although the engineers and firemen of both trains were obliged to leap for their lives.
 The OroviIIe local train, due here at 8 o'clock, was scheduled to meet west bound freight train at Webster switch at 7:35 o'clock. The passenger train kept the main track, while the freight was expected to take the siding. The fog was so dense, however, that the engineer could not see a dozen feet ahead of the pilot. He was moving his train along at the rate of twenty miles an hour when he passed the switch without knowing it. After he had safely passed it, however, he realized his blunder, and he immediately re- yersed his engine and threw on the brakes. The fog had deposited a thick mist on the rails, and the train refused to come to a standstill, even with the reversal of the engine and the applica- tion of the airbrakes. While seeking to stop his locomotive the engineer was mortified at the sudden appearance of a locomotive headlight directly in front of him and bearing down upon him. He could not make out the outlines of the approaching locomotive, but he knew that a frightful death awaited him and his fireman if they remained at tIagr y7OctG and h0th iIITnned from tba box into the jungle of jules that bor- ders the track. The same instinct moved the engineer and fireman of the passenger train to do likewise.
 The locomotives came together with tremendous force, wrecking them and throwing the passengers violently from their seats. A door of one of the pas senger coaches was torn from it's hinges. Conductor Nat Irwin of the

No shot was heard at the moment of his fall, but when his mother came Tn response to a cry from the little fellows brother she found that her boy was dead, the bullet having passed in at one eye and out at the base of the brain.
