HAWAII IS OURS.
The Senate Passed Resolutions in Favor
Of AnnexatiOn.

Tno senate Passed RESOLUTIONS IN EovOt
Of Annexation.
Washington. July 8-The annexa-
tion Of Hawaii Is now accomplished, so
far as the legislative branch Of the gov
eminent Is concerned. Quite unex-
pectedly the resolutions providing for
the annexation of the islands were
brought to vote in the senate late this
afternoon, and they were passed by the
decisive vote OF 40 to 81.
Early in stoday's session of the SEN
ate, conferences of leaders on both sides
of the chamber were held, and tacit
agreement was reached that a vote
should be taken Saturday at the latest.
The opponents of annexation had prac-
tically concluded their arguments, and
as they had no desire to keep the senate
in session by purely dilatory tactics,
they announced their willingness that
vote should be taken as soon as White,
Pettigrew and Allen had finished their
speeches. Neither White nor Pettigrew
spoke at great length, but Allen thought
when he began that his speech might
occupy the entire day and part of to-
morrow. However, he concluded to
eliminate part of the matter he had
prepared, and at 4:15 he completed his
speech.
It was evident instantly that vote
was at hand. The word was passed
swiftly through the corridors and COM
mittee rooms. and In few minutes
every senator at the capitol was in his
seat. The galleries filled rapidly. and
members of the house of representa-
tives, learning that a vote was to be
taken, came hurriedly to the senate
side of the great marble pile to witness
proceedings that will be historic.
The test vote came on an amendment
offered by White. 1t was offered with
no expectancy that 1t would be adopted,
but merely to place the ideas and opin-
ion of the opponents to annexation on
record. 1t was rejected by vote Of 40
to 20. indicating that the annexation
ists were strongly in the majority.
Amendment after amendment was
offered, but the advocates of the reso-
lutions stood solidly together, gaining
rather than losing strength on the sue
cessive votes.
Finally, at $50 P. NJ, the resolu-
lions themselves, In precisely the form
in which they were received from the
house Of representatives. were report ted
to the senate and the roll call began.
Not sonnd was heard In the chamber
except the call of the clerk and the re-
plies of the senators.
When the vice-president announced
the vote by which the resolutions were
passed, tremendous wave Of applause
swept through the galleries, which the
vice. president made no effort to check.

THE lola CASE.
The Novelist Deemed to Have Been
Justly Condemned, but the Sentence
is Not Likely to be Imposed.

Paris, March 31.-The Court of Cas-
sation to-day began hearing the ap-
peal of NJ. Emile Zola, against the SEN
tence of one years Imprisonment and
5000 francs fine imposed upon him on
February %, after he had been con-
victed Of making libellous charges in
the Aurore against the conduct Of the
Esterhazy court martial, which was an
outcome of the attempts to prove that
Alfred Dreyfus, condemned 60 imprls-
onment for betraying French military
secrets to foreign power, should have
a new and public trial. Councillor
Chambaraud, who was appointed to ex-
anime the arguments, reported in Ia
vor of M. Zolas main plea. namely,
that his trial had been irregular be-
cause the suit was brought by the min
lister Of war instead of the president of
the court which NJ lola had libelled.
If the court, as is probable, accepts M.
Chambareaud's report, the case will
not be retired The condemnation will
remain but the sentence will not be
executed. This result is believed to
be acceptable to the government, as 1t
is hoped it will stop the agitation on
the subject of Dreyfus' sentence.

COULDN'T RAISE FUNDS.
Efforts to Provision Havana and Lay in a
Coal supply Dropped


Havana, via Key West, Fla, March
Silt is asserted on good authority
that the government at Madrid and
the local government determined to
provision Havana city for three
months against a possible blockade of
the port by the American fleet. 1t was
also decided to bring $4,000 tons Of
coal to Cuba as soon as possible. Lack
of money initiates seriously against
carrying out either plan. A strong eff
fort will be made to get portion of
the coal at least, but the provision
question has been to all appearances
dropped.
General Blanco's proclamation do
ing away with the concentration Sys-
tenn in the four western provinces is
believed to be shrewd political move,
in view of the announced intervention
by the United States on the ground of
humanity Many doubt the practical
bility of plan to make Sny but the
hardest of the recOncentradoS self
supporting, while others aver that
there are as many insurgents as ever
in the provinces of Pinar del RRio and
Santa Clara.

States Must do Her Duty by Cuba.

Lincoln, Neb., March 31.-Hon. W.
J. Bryan tonight made the following
statement for the Associated Press. in
answer 70 the question whether, in his
Judgment, the time had arrived for the
Jmted States to intervene in behalf Of
Cuba and bring the war to an end:
Yes. the time for intervention has
arrived. Humanity demands that we
shan act Cuba lies almost within
sight Of our shores and the suffering
ol her people can not be ignored I'M
less we. as nation, have become so
eEsrossed in money making as to be
Indifferent to distress.
Intervention may be accompanied
by danger and expense, but existence
can no. be separated from responsible
iiy and responsibility sore times leads
nation, as it does an individual, into
danger A neighbor must some times
incur danger for neighbor, and a
friend for a friend.
War is a terrible thing. and can not
b defended except rs a means to an end.
ard Vet it is sometimes the only means
ar which a necessary end can be secured.
Tie state Furnishes its own citizens by
IMPRISONMENT or even death when counsel

bitter between nations when reason and
d.nlomacy are of no avail.
Spain might not resist Intervention; il
Is 20 be hoped that she would recognize
;'e right of the United States to act and
immediately withdraw from Cuba. but

MIR. Frye, in which the former made
some sarcastic references to the con-
duct of the foreign relations committee
and the attitude Of the President.
concerning the latter, Mr.. Chandler
said: Il have confidence that the

the two government and concluded
with these words:
II pray God that we may be able to
keep peace
The impression left with the dele
cation, however. was thar he did not
expect q peaceabie adjustment. In
strictest confidence Mr. Mckinley out
lined the course of communications be-
tween Washington and Madrid. He
stated that all now depended on dis
patches to be communicated and re-
ceived probably within forty-eight
hours. The response of Spain TO
message cabled it by this government
was expected hourly, and surely would
be received within twenty-four hours.
After it arrived ii would be necessary
for this country TO send another cable
note as reply to Madrid. All this
might be accomplished in less than
forty-eight hours. He therefore init
mated that it would be gratifying if
Congress deferred taking action until
next week. Mr.. Hopkins, of Illinois,
who made the report for the commit
tee, said he felt it would be best TO
abide by the Presidents wishes. 9th
ers who spoke at the meeting, includ-
ing Mr.. Lorimer and Mr. JOY, advised
postponement. The President, they
stated, suggested that what was relat-
ed to them regarding the diplomatic
negotiations should not be repeated
until these negotiations were closed;
that if these secret and significant mes
sages were revealed at this time and
should become public property and be
cabed back to Madrid the publicity
might hurt the cause and defeat the
ends sought.
Representative Hicks. Of Pennsyl
vania, thought in view of the Dupuy
de Lone letter no further parley
should be allowed and that Premier
Sagasta was acting in accord with the
policy that the letters had revealed.
Others followed in the same line, but
it was finally concluded to defer action
until after the adjournment of the
HOusa Monday
