HATCH WRITES ABOUIDOLE
SAYS HIS RECEPTION WAS MOST
GRATIFYING.
State Dinner was a Grand Affair-Ov-
Reception at Executive Mansion.

Acting President Cooper received
by today's mail, an official note from
Minister Francis NJ. Hatch, containing
an account of President Dole's visit
to Washington. He writes:
president Dole's visit comes to an
end tomorrow, the 9th. His reception
has been most gratifying. The official
honors and attentions have been eX-
treme and unusual. Social courtesies
have also been extended with profu-
sion and heartiness. Both the Presi-
dent and every supporter of the Re-
public at home must feel greatly
pleased at the result. We all knew
that Mr.. Dole would make most ex-
cellent impression. He has done so,
and the friends who have crowded to
see him have warmly spoken of it,
showing at the same time little sur
prise that Mr.. Dole is so fine a man,
which has given emphasis to the i'm
preston received.

FAKE CABLE STORY.

to the Call to the effect that the
French cruiser Duguay Trouin had
brought a letter to the Hawaiian gov.
ernment stating that the French gov
ernment would lay cable 20 Tahiti

no foundation. In interviews at Wash

were of the opinion that Congress
would never give its consent TO the

TEST VOTE WILL Be TAKEN
TREATY WILL NOT BE RETURNED
TO THE PRESIDENT.
Hawaii's Friends Want to Learn their
Strength-Annexationists Plan to
Secure Action--Caucus by Senators.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE
Hawaiian treaty will be pushed vigor-
ously next week, and if chance Of
fers a test vote will be taken in the
hope that final vote may be secured
before Senator White leaves for Cali
fornia. This was the practical result
of the caucus of the members of the
Senate Foreign Relations committee
with the members of the Commerce
Committee, who are favorable both to
annexation and the Hawaiian cable
bill.
The cable question was the subject
which drew the members of both of
the committees together first, and
there was general discussion of the
subsidy provisions and concessions
which should be made by this govern
ment to secure cable connections not
only with the Islands, but with the
Orient. The committeeman present
were unanimously in favor of the ca
Dle Dlll, WHICH is llldt hHoWH as lhc
Scrymser measure. and though slight
alterations in the conditions were
suggested, there is reason to believe
it will be reported favorably.
The close connection between the
subjects led to the discussion of an
neXation, as in the event of the sue
cess of the treaty there would be a
greater necessity for cable connection.
The Senators present who are most
active in the fight for the treaty's
ratification compared their polls, but
could not figure more than fifty-eight
votes. They canvassed the list of the
doubtful members, however, which in
the minds of some men runs to seven
or eight, and drew the conclusion that
| they might get the needed votes after
few hours further debate. Then il
was that the decision was reached to
make an effort to press the treaty to
a vote during the coming week.
1t is not believed that any effort to
| secure test vote Will be successful
for there are Senators who refuse to
be hurried. Some have maintained
their position of being unconvinced
throughout the entire debate, while
there are others whose utterances
have given the men on both sides o1
the chamber reason to include their
names in the lists of both the support
ers and opponents. There is no dispo
sition on the part of the friends of the
treaty to permit any vote unless they
are reasonably sure of success.
One Senator said today: eve viii
never return the treaty to the Presi
dent, but will hold it until enough
votes to pass it are secured"
Senator Gear today presented sixty
five postal cards from editors in lows

RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR
ANNEXATION.
Significant Hawaiian Measure Intro
duced in the Senate-An Amend
ment to Whites Resolution,

WASHINGTON, February Am
amendment of more than ordinary inn
portance and significance at this time
was proposed in the Senate today by
Morgan of Alabama to the resolution
offered by White of California. Sen
ator Whites resolution declared that
it was the right of the people of Ha-
wai to maintain their own form of
government and that the United
States ought in no wise to interfere
with it. N[organ's amendment pro-
vides distinctly for the annexation of
the Hawaiian Islands declaring that
the present government has right to
make such cession to this country.
Morgan's amendment reads:
"That the Republic of Hawaii, es-
tablshed in and based upon its pres
ent constitution, is a rightful govern
ment, and has been and still is recog-
nized by the United States of Ameri-
ca and by other great powers without
any question by any nation of its
rightful sovereignty, and said consti-
tuition is the true and recognized au-
thority that fixes the measure and the
distribution of the rights and powers
of government in that republic while
said constitution remains in force.
"That in conformity with the exist
Hawaii. and so long as the same is in
force, the powers of government re-
side in and are to be exercised by the
incumbents of the departments. tribu-
nails and officers, created by said con-
stitution who qualify as such by the
taking of the oath of allegiance pre-
scribed therein are emitted to share in
the government of Hawaii according
to the rights secured to them in the
constitution and to the extent and in
the, manner therein provided as long
assthe same is in force.
"And said government of the Repub.
lie of Hawaii having in due form sig.
nified its consent in the manner pro.
vided in its constitution that the Ha.
waiian Islands, with all the territory
appurtenant thereto, it is hereby en-
acted and declared that said conces
sion is accepted, ratified and confirm
ed and that said Hawaiian Islands are
annexed as part of the territory c1
territory of the United States of Anne
rica and are subject to the sovereign
dominion thereof"
Davis of Minnesota, chairman ot
the Committee on Foreign Relations
moved that the resolution of Whit,
and the amendment thereto proposed
by Morgan, be referred to the Foreign
Relations Committee. and, after &
brief colloquy between White ant
Morgan, the resolution and amend
ment were so referred. The Senate
then went into executive session ant
at $3.50 adjourned.

it is believed some of them
were questioned particularly
as to whether they heard and

evidence is regarded as worth

miral Sicard, will then prob

further pleasure of the Navy
Department, though some Of
them, it is not unlikely, will
be detailed almost imme-

KEY WEST, Feb. 2S.-Some of the
brave boys of the Maine, after all,
are to sleep in American soil and un-
der the Stars and Stripes. All the
bodies hereafter taken from the
wreck are to be sealed hermetically
in metal coffins, placed aboard the
Coast Survey steamer Bache and
brought to Key West for burial. Or
ders to that effect were received from
the Navy Department in Washington
to-day by Captain Forsythe, COM
mandant at Key West, and were
transmitted to Captain Sigsbee in
Havana.
In accordance with the same or
der, arrangements have been made
for suitable lot in Key West Gene
terry, where all the bodies Of seamen
hereafter recovered are to be inferred.
The disinterment and removal of the
bodies already buried in Havana, 1
understand, are not contemplated, at
least at present. Captain Sigsbee and
Lieutenant-C Commander Wainwright
have notified the department that the
Identification of the bodies yet to be
recovered will be practically impos-
sible, except in the cases of Lieuten-
ant Jenkins and Assistant Engineer
Merritt, who, it is thought, may yet
be identified by their uniform. So
strong a feeling has been manifest
throughout the country against per-
hitting all these noble American sea-
men to be buried in Spanish soil that
the department has thought it best
to bury them at Key West, even
though not identified. The seemingly
slow work of the divers hitherto on
the task of recovering the dead has
caused great disappointment among
surviving officers, especially Chap
lain Chadwick. Every day for nearly
a week the floating morgue in Ha-
vana harbor has swung with the
tide, bearing it's pile of metal coffins
ready for use, and above the rest two

very slowly.
There is some disposition to find
fault with the work of the divers,
anyhow. Many souvenirs from the
wardroom, messroom and other parts
of the ship have been brought to the
surface. They are common enough
now in Havana. Pieces of the mess

cused of pilfering from sea chests, is
said to have found comparatively
easy access to many parts of the
wreck, yet UP to the time left Ha-
vana yesterday on the Herald-Call

fifty to sixty dead seamen, according
to Chaplain Chadwick's estimate, re-

it is said, still in their hammocks
where they died.
Considerable jealousy and not
between the naval divers attached to
the squadron and those employed by
the wrecking company, which is en-
gagged upon the work of salvage at
a stated price per day. The impress
sion conveyed by careless dispatches
to some New York papers that among
the divers at work above and in the
wreck are some who are Spaniards is
wholly without foundation. The de-
partment's decision to conduct the in
vestigation without Spanish assist
ance has been adhered to strictly.
The only Spaniards employed about
the wreck in any capacity whatever
are sailors of the Spanish cruiser AL
fonso XIII, who still maintain most
efficiently their watchful guard
about the wreck alike by day and
night, to keep off intruders and NOR
bid curiosity seekers. How well they
do their duty I had reason to know,
when, in a small boat, half an hour
before midnight, 1 started to board
the Herald-Call dispatch boat for her
run to Key West, which began early
yesterday morning. The Dewey lay
moored near the wreck of the Maine.
Our path toward her from Machina
wharf lay near the dispatch vessel lie
Gaspi. I was challenged all along the
line from the wharf 10 the Dewey,
first from LIE Gaspi's deck and again
by two floating patrol boats around
the wreck of the Maine.
Just as I boarded the Herald's
feet little tug eight bells sounded
musically, first from the cruiser Al
fonso XIII, then LIE Gaspi and then
like silvery echo from our little
Fern. The ships bells were playing
midnight requiem of dead men-of-
warsmen. Then from far-off Ca
banas came ringing clear, musical,
across the still waters, the cry
"Alerta" of the Spanish sentinel.
Back came the answer in sailorlike
singsong from LIE Gaspi's deck, and
again ..Bote alerta'' from the patrol
that swung slowly at their oars
around the wreck.
Yes, they were all alert.
So was the fleet little Dewey. Her
steam was already up, and long be-
fore sunrise she was off past MORO
light, past the gray wreck looking
gloomier than ever in the first dim
light of the dawn, and headed
straight for Key West like an arrow
to give the Herald readers the latest
news of Havana, despite Spanish GEN.
sors and despite stormy seas.
