A great laugh followed this predic-

a seat upon the floor. The laughter
was renewed when Mr.. Clark added:

tests against launching upon territorial
expansion.
Mr.. Walker Rep., Mass) spoke for
the resolutions, saying that annexation
would be followed by territorial expan-
sion. He said Hawaii was a CONNER
cial, military and naval necessity. He
digressed briefly to advocate the con-
struction Of the Nicaraguan canal as
one of the great needs of the United
States, and contended. that Hawaii
would be essential to complete control
of the canal by America.

Capt. Rodgers Succeeds Capt. Har-
ringtOn, Who Is III.
WASHINGTON, June II. = Capt.
Frederick Rodgers, formerly president
of the naval auxiliary board, has been
ordered to command the big monitor
Puritan, now with Admiral Sampson's
fleet. He relieves Capt. P. F. Harring-
ton, who has been prostrated by the
terrible strain and heat, to which he
has been subjected during his long
stay in Cuban waters Lieutenant
Commander w. II. Everett, command
ing the light house tender Mangrove,
has also succumbed to the hardships
Of the Cuban blockade. Both officers
have been removed to the naval hos
pital at Key West for treatment.
The assignment Of Capt. Rodgers to
the Puritan leaves a vacancy in the
command Of the cruiser Philadelphia,
now fitting out at San Francisco for
service on the Pacific station, to which
he was originally assigned several
weeks ago. In view Of the expressed
desire of Capt. Crowninshield, chief Of
the bureau of navigation, for sea duty,
it is not improbable he may be siven

Logic would dictate 1t, ana the world
would demand It, America could not
interfere in other lands and prohibit
foreign Intervention in affairs of the
North and South American countries.
Mr.. Gillett Rep., Mass.), in support
Of the annexation, declared conditions
had greatly, changed since the days of
Washington, when the policy of the
new country was reasonably against
territorial expansion. Then, he said,
1t was farther from Massachusetts, to
Pennsylvania than now from New
York to Europe. He argued for Hawaii
as military and naval necessity, a
controlling point Of trade, and naval
operations In the Pacific.
Mr.. Alexander Rep., N. Y.) said the
victory Of Dewey made the annexation
of Hawaii a present necessity, and
made it wise to provide for its possess
sion and control for future emergen-
cies. He expressed the conviction that
Hawaii would be offered by the Ha-
waiian government to England, If this
country should refuse to accept 1t,
and, having refused, the United States
could not interfere with the Hawatians
disposing Of their own possessions. He
then spoke of the population Of the
islands, notably its intelligence, stating
that 85 per cent could read and write,
and that 80 per cent Of the children
of school age attended school.
MR.. CLARK'S HUMOR.
Mr.. Clark Oem., MOI, opposing the
resolution, spoke against an enlarged
colonial policy as something gorgeous
in appearance, but fatal in experience,
or else all history Is a lie." AS men,
Der Of the committee on foreign af,
fairs, he said Gen. Schofield had tes-
tilted before the committee that Pearl
harbor was the only harbor in Hawaii
that could be fortified, and that"
said Mr. Clark, "is under the control
Of this country, and from military
standpoint we need no more" He de-
clared the population Of the islands
was undesirable, and Its entry as an
element into our possessions likely to
bring injury to the social and govern
mental establishments Of this country.
1.-THE jingo bacillus" he declared, "is
indefatigable in its work." and, pro-
ceeding, he said the proposed annexa-
ton of Hawaii would be the entering
wedge to policy that would not end

WAR REVENUE BILL

Special to The st. Paul Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 11.-Eleven
troop ships have arrived before Santa
go, and have. probably, by this time,
disembarked the invading forces Of the
United States army. The news reached
the capital this evening, in round
about way, but as it come through
Spanish sources its reliability is not
questioned. The programme Of secrecy
. 80 persistently pursued by the govern
ent has been carried to a successful
termination. 1t is not thought that
officials will attempt to longer conceal
the fact that American troops are in
Cuba, but when the information reach
ed Washington 1t was too late to have
1t passed upon at either the war or
navy departments, but there Is little
doubt of It's accuracy. 1t came from
Madrid, via Havana. That Is the news
was in the shape of a characteristic
cablegram from Blanco to the home
government, announcing the arrival be-
fore Santiago of eleven American mer-
Chantmen, which were presumed to be
loaded with"Yankee" troops and which
the defenders of Santiago were pre-
pairing to prevent from discharging
their precious freight. 1t Is even
thought here that there would be moth
ing surprising in the fighting cf a
pitched battle Sunday, If one has not
already been fought. The government
has done well in keeping its own coun-
sel as to the movement of troops It
IS now whispered that perhaps another
invading force is nearing Porto Rico.
Who knows? Those who could tell will
not. and those who would cannot.
THE FLAG FLOATS.
The fact that the Stars and Stripes
now float over Cuban soil was virtual
~ officially given out here today. The
navy department had advices from Ad-
miEal Sampson announcing that the
American flag had been heisted by
United States marines at the mouth Of
Guantanamo bay. The number of gal
liant marines wno planted the flag on
Cuban soil is given at all the way from
600 to 500. The report is that they met
with a warm reception and were COM
PEELED to put up strong fight and burn
g. village held by the Spaniards be-
fore they could properly unfurl "Oid
Glory After the flag was floating
from a Spanish dagpole the marines
made merry and held their ground
right manfully. 1t is learned officially
that the force is the splendid body Of
men under Col. Huntington. and it is
said that they can be relied upon to
give efficient service. There is no at
tempt to conceal the fact that the
marines are ashore, but despite the
story from Madrid and Havana Of the
arrival of American troop ships off
Santiago, those who ought to know
something about what is going on per-
sist in maintaining silence on that SUBJ
ject.

tablished a republic in place of mon
archy in Hawaii, and who now dare
to act Independently Of the world In
time Of the Spanish-American war.
After reviewing other revolutionary
movements, Mr.. Hit said:
.sThey are the same men who took
a worthless queen and threw her from
her throne when she attempted to dis
regard property rights and ignore the
constitution wrung from her prede-
cessor."
Mr.. Hit spoke not quite an hour,
much of the time being occupied with
interruptions by members asking ques-
tions.
ANNEXATION OPPOSED.
Mr.. Dinsmore, the ranking Democrat
upon the committee on foreign affairs.
opened the debate in opposition. He
declared his belief that no constitu-
tional power existed to annex by Joint
resolution as was proposed, and op-
posed annexation as being undesirable.
It would be, he insisted, the first step
upon policy of colonial aggression,
in antagonism to the established rule
Of the government, and added that
the reaching out into foreign lands
and the establishment there Of Ameri-
can institutions would necessitate the
abandonment Of the Monroe doctrine.
