HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
Subject Will Occupy the Houses
Attention This Week.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-During the
present week the Hawaiian annex
alton resolutions are likely to be con-
sidered in the house. No positive as
surance has been given that a special
rule providing for their consideration
will be reported. but it is generally un-
derstood that, in the event of the rev.
enue bill being well advanced in the
senate, the committee on rules will
respond to the majority demand in the
house for immediate disposal of the
Hawaiian resolutions.
The report to accompany the general
banking and currency bill is expected
to be completed by the middle of the
week, and that bill will be given then
to the house. 1t will not be debated.
however, this week.
Representative Sherman will call
up the anti-scalping bill, and he said
today he thought it would be disposed
of during the week.
The naval personnel bill and num-
Der of minor war measures will occupy
some atteHeion. sd
The genera, deficiency appropriation
bill may be.Ireported late in the week,
and conference report on the sundry

THE animals, insects and reptiles of
Cuba would not form very serious
drawback. They have no poisonous
snakes there, and the scorpions and
tarantulas, though capable of inflict-
Ing painful bites, are not dangerous.
The mosquitoes are not any worse than
on Long Island and the centipedes and
red and white ants, though they oc-
casion a great deal Of discomfort,
would not kill any one.
There Is no reason for our hurry

lards In Cuba weaker They are al

We have established an effective block

The published statement that Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee was graduated from
West Point at the head Of his class

to say:
He was really No. 45 in the military
academy class of 1855, or five files from
the left flank. the class numbering

George w. Snyder, who died in No
vember, 1851. at the early age Of TWEEN
ty-edght, having first won a brevet of
captain for gallant and meritorious
services in the defense of Fort Sum-
ter, and that Of major for gallant and
meritorious services in the Manassas
campaign. There was another Lee In
| the same class, Charles c. Lee. who
graduated No. 4. He Joined the South
during the war and was killed at the
battle OF Glendale. Va The only mem

graduated, and in time Of peace the
advancement of the high-stAnd man is
more rapid than that of his less for

Alabama backward In Patriotism.
MOBILE, Ala. May 22.-The second
Louisiana volunteers, who were re-
ported detected at New Orleans to
Jefferson barracks, began arriving here
at o'clock tonight. The delay in New
Orleans was because of the difficulty
in making transportation arrangements
last night.
The second section Of their train ar
rived at 9 o'clock Col. de Russy took
command Of the First brigade Of the
Fourth corps today. Capt. Fayette w.

mont, both of the Third infantry, leave
in the morning for Chickamauga under
orders. 1t is reported here that Roe
is to be lieutenant colonel Of volun-
teers. and Fremont is to be acting
judge advocate.
The Alabama volunteers are organic
, ing slowly. The First regiment will
require twenty-five men. The Second
regiment is short several hundred. The
difficulty arises from the fact that the
military companies belonging to the
national guard want to preserve their
name and organization. The most Of
these companies have not more than
thirty or forty men. and their commu-
mites being small. this number cannot
be increased to the regular number of
eighty, To merge with companies from
other communities is to lose name and
sometimes history extending through
two wars.
The battalion, which is to be COM
posed of negroes exclusively. will be
brought to camp here on Tuesday. The
negroes have volunteered far in ex-
cess Of the call, and the pick Of the
number will give one of the finest
bodies of troops the South will con-
tribute. The battalion will have white
officers. Col. Higdon, commanding the
First Alabama volunteers, received or
ders today to report to the Fourth
army corps in camp near Mobile with
his regiment. He expects to recruit
the remainder of his men tomorrow.

Spaniards Rushing Work on Auxil-

ST. JOHNS, N.~F.. May 22.-Capt.
Strong, of the brigantine Energy, which
arrived here today with a cargo of salt
from Cadiz, reports that when he left
Cadiz fortnight ago the greatest &C.
tivity prevailed in the naval arsenal
there. Two Hamburg American liners.
Columbia and Normannia, purchased to
be used as auxiliary cruisers, and now
named the Rapido and Patria, were be-
ing rapidly armored. and the warships
fitting in the harbor were loading
stores and ammunition.
Capt. Strong is convinced that at the
time he was in Cadiz the Spanish gov
eminent fully intended to send this
fleet to American coast cities on the
North Atlantic, preferably Boston. He
said the Spanish populace was infamed
against the English and Americans
and that his crew dared not venture
ashore.

Volunteers Continue to Arrive at
Fort Mcpherson.
ATLANTA, Ca, May 22.-About 1000
recruits have arrived at Fort McPher-
son since that post was made the CEN
tralization point for that branch Of
the army. Every recruiting station in
the country from Maine to California
has sent some men, and they are still
arriving at rate Of 200 day.
It was not intended to send any Of
the men away until they. were uni
formed and equipped, but the need Of
men for. the Philippines has brought
about the necessity Of getting more
men in the regular army regiments in
the West.
Col. Cook, the commandant, yester-
day lined up the recruits at the post
and asked them for volunteers to go
to the Philippines. Nine responded al
most Instantly, but six only are need
ed to make out the required battalion
Of two regiments. It Is likely these
men will go to New Orleans to join
the Eighteenth OF Twenty-third regi-
ments Of the regular army before these
regiments, which have been assigned
to go with Gen. Merritt, start for San
Francisco.
The Spanish prisoners who are to be
exchanged for correspondents Thorp
and Jones, now in MORO castle, will
be started for Cuba as soon as the
department here is assured Of secur-
ing the Miami as boat for Havana.
Col Cortijo and Surgeon Julian are
still in ignorance of the exchange.

SENATOR MASON ROBBED.
Writes a Characteristic Letter to
the Burglars.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Last night
the residence of Senator William Ma
son, of Illinois, 1882 Chaplin street, this
city, was entered by burglars and jew
elry to the value of nearly $4,000 was
stolen. Net a clew to either the burg

This evening Senator Mason issued to
the burglars a characteristic appeal.
which he hopes will be needed. 1t is as
follows:
last night l will pay in cash more than
any one else for the watch and pin you
took last night, and give you my word OF
honor that you will not be prosecuted for
the taking of them. The pin has a por-
trait of my little son, who died years ago.
and it was, was also the watch, a pres
ent. You can communicate with me by
mail or in person, and you can rely abso-
lutely on my promise not to prosecu e.

march of two miles a place was found

tailed to get some water. They walked
two miles without finding any. 1t was
then discovered that there Is only one
place within a reasonable distance
where water can be had and that has
to be guarded SO that every one going
to get water last has to fall In line and

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The pres
ent week will be given up almost en-
tirely to the continuation of the de-
oate on the war revenue bill, and
many of the best informed senators
express the opinion that the considera-
slon or the bill will be concluded be-
lore the end Of the week
Senator Aldrich said today that the
Dill would be law before next Sat
uroay. very few other senators take
81 HopeIul a view, and most Republi-
cans confess that they will be abund-
antly satisfied il the senate concludes
its work Saturday. While considera-
Ilon or the bill. except as to objected
features, has been completed there is
still much to be done before the meas
ure can be said to be completed. The
items which have been passed over
are those which it was expected from
the beginning would consume the
greater amount of time. These include
the corporation tax provision, the in
her1tance tax, the seigniorage and
greenback amendments, and others of
more or less Importance.
Involved in the discussion Of the
greenback and seigniorage amend
ment will be the Republican PROPOSE
ton to restore the bond provision, and
there can be no doubt that this ques-
ton will give rise to discussion that
VIII cover considerable time, probably
TWO or three days at least. There is,
however, no apparent desire on the
part Of the opponents Of bonds to con-
sumo more time than is necessary to
the proper presentation of their views.
II Senator Platt, of New York, in
slsts upon pressing his amendment for
the refunding Of the outstanding green
backs, 1T will result in an extension of
the debate to an almost unlimited ex-
tent. This would open up the financial
question, and probably would cause
the silver element in the senate to
even resort to fllibustering to prevent
its passage.
There Is more or less talk In the
senate about the final adjournment of
congress, but opinions differ very ma
terially as to the time 1t will occur.
Senator Hale expresses the opinion to-
day that it might be reached within
three weeks, while Senator Teller put
it at six weeks. With the war revenue
bill out of the way and appropriation
made for the conduct Of the war, there
will be very little to remain, unless
1t should by that time become appar-
ent that the war is drawing to d close.
In that event, some senators express
the desire that congress should be IN
session, in order that the senate might
have an opportunity to pass upon any
treaty Of peace that might be nego-
tiated. 1t does not now appear prob
able. however that congress would
remain here any great length of time
merely for that purpose.
The week will begin with the dis
cussion Monday of the corporation tax
provided in the Democratic amend
ment.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 22.-senor
Ernesto Castro, a we'll known lawyer
and president Of the revolutionary jun
ia OF Cardenas, arrived here today on
the United States gunboat Annapolis.
During the recent bornbardment at
Cardenas Senior Castro was in the bay
IN a small boat. trying to reach the
American vessels and get transporta-
ton to the United States on an impor-
tant mission. He was compelled to
return to the shore, where he saw and
heard of the results, of the lombard
ment. The Spanish gunboats that
lured the United States torpedo boat
Winslow into the death trap were the
Antonio Lopez, Lealtad and Ligera.
During the fight the two former re-
treated behind the wllarves and the
Ligera behind an island. 1t was the
Lopez that opened fire on the Winslow
ard decoyed her into the channel. The
Spanish troops formed on the public
square, not daring to go to the
wflarves: all the Spanish flags were
lowered, as they furnished targets, and
the families all fled to Jovellanos.
Senior Castro says an American shell
exploded in the very entrance to the
Spanish casino, shattering the building
and setting 1t on fire. The casino,
which had been used as military
headquarters and infantry barracks,
and which was the largest structure In
the town, was utt .rly destroyed. Other
buildings were wrecked. Some of the
shots went so far as the Triente sugar
plantation, two miles In the interior.
The Spanish loss Of life Senior Cas-
tro believes to have been very heavy.
1t was so reported. After the bonn
bardment ceased the, military COM
mander pressed all able-bodied men
into the work Of carrying sand to bull

men were brought from Matanzas and
