THE FLAG MAY SOON GO UP
BILL FOR A PROTECTORATE is
ALREADY DRAFTED.
Makes the Hawaiian Islands an Ame-
rican Base of War Under the Pro-
lection of Old Glory.

These Islands may soon be under
the protection of the American flag.
The draft of bill to accomplish this
is i'm the hands of the Executive. 1t
was drafted in the United States and
with the knowledge of members of
the Senate Committee on Foreign At
fairs.
The first publication of the exist
ence of such a bill appeared in the
New York Press, the administration
organ, of April 30th. That publica
tion is reprinted below:
On inquiry at the Executive build
ing it is learned that President Dole
did not bring the bill referred to
along with him, but that such bill
has been forwarded to the Islands
and has been considered by the EX-
ecutive. President Mckinley would
act in the matter as war measure.
The New York Press article fol-
lows:
WASHINGTON, April 29.-When
President Dole of Hawaii left this
country recently, after his visit to aid
in the annexation proceedings before
Congress unless there was war. When
of bill which promises to make his
tory. 1t is for passage by the Ha-
waiian Congress, and provides that in
the event of war in which the Unit
ed States may need the Hawaiian Is
lands for base of supplies the Is
lands shall be put under the protec-
ton of the American flag. 1t was
prepared with the knowledge of the
members of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Affairs and had the approval
of the Administration on certain con-
ditions.
One condition was that it should
not be submitted to the Hawaiian
Congress unless ther was war. When
President Dole left this country war
with Spain had not been declared, but
was deemed probable. No conditions
are to be imposed upon the United
States should the American flag be
raised over the Islands. If a consid-
Grafton was named an appropriation
would be required which would need
| Congressional action and probably
| cause complications. A majority in
| the Senate and House are in favor OF
annexing Hawaii, and the project has
| failed so far only through lack of the
necessary two-thirds vote in the up
per body.
In an emergency the President of
the United States can exercise what
is known as war power" He can
accept the privilege granted by the
Hawaiian government for base OF
supplies in the Pacific ocean, and to
guard the Islands completely the flag
of the United States would be raised
| as barrier, against which foreign
meddling would not be permitted. 1t
would not surprise well informed ma
tional legislators to hear by the next
steamer from Honolulu either confir.
nation or strong indication of the full
| fillment of this important news.
The operations of Commodore Dew.
ey in the Philippines are significant
in connection with the expected es-
tablishment of a protectorate or SOW.
| ereignty over Hawaii.
British necessities are so great in
commerce that if the United States
| does not control the Pacific station
Great Britain must, in self protection
assume control.
The British Ministry assured the
State Department that it views with
favor the occupation of Hawaii by
America.

CABINET SET AGAINST IT.

The government is opposed to the
pending cable bill. At the meeting
of the Senators with the Cabinet on
Thursday the former were informed in
most positive terms that the Ministry
was unanimous in opposing it in its
present form. The reason given was
that the bill tied the government to
one. company, which, if unsuccessful
at Washington, would fail here and
ruin, temporarily at least, the best of
cable prospects. Most of those pres
ent conceded the wisdom of the OBJ
lection, and will have their knives rea-
dy for the measure when il comes up
for third reading. The bill will doubt
less be again referred to committee
for revision. ~

Information from authentic sources
substantiates the fact that this gov

sion made on the Spanish forces will
be under the direction of Colonel MI
nez and backed by men and artillery
from this government. Already there
is a large number of Cuban volunteers
here, who are well supplied with ri
fles and other implements of war, who
are awaiting the arrival of the Gu

Nine carloads of guns and ammunl-

that these munitions of war are for

ARRIVAL OF THE RIO.
The Oceanic Wharf Crowded With
People Looking for News.

The S. S. Rio de Janeiro docked at
about 9:15 this morning. On the
wharf were hundreds of citizens, anX-
iously looking for news of the war
between America and Spain.
When about one hundred yards
from the Oceanic docks, the stern
line of the Rio parted with a loul
snap, and the steamer began to dr,ft
slowly out into the bay. The tow
boat was instantly put into use and
soon got line to the wharf, She was
then quickly docked.
The Rio only brought twenty pas
sengers. six of whom were for this
port.

sui at Manila. The cable has not yet
been cut, as was reported.

had left Manila to meet and give bat

regarded as false reports sent to de-

ships was struck, the Spanish gum

There is no means of knowing the
number of dead and wounded on the
Spanish side. 1t must be consider
able.
While the New York. Puritan and
Cincinnati were reconnoitering in

being constructed, the flagship was
fired on by the batteries on Po.nt Ru-
bal Cava and Point Maya, guarding
the entrance to the harbor.
The New York replied with her fol
ward eight inch gun on the port side,
steamed boldly in between the bat
teries and was soon blazing away wish

The Puritan steamed in behind tie
New York and engaged the tortifica-
ton on Point Maya, while the New
York went to starboard close up to
land and poured her shells into Ru-

The Cincinnati, which had remain
ed well astern, under orders, signall-
ed for permission to engage. 1t was
given and she soon began firing her
guns at the fort on the west side OF

The batteries fired explosive shells
and most of them fell wide of the
mark. One burst just beyond the
stern of the New York and shrapne

minutes to reduce the batteries.
After waiting for the Spanish tc

Reynolds lived until 1886. The

Reynolds lived until 1886. The last
fifteen years of his miserable life were
spent in Paris, where he was so we'll de-
spised as he had been by the London
society" leaders who had prolited by
his villainy. Some grim versiller in the
French capital thus referred to him
''Lolling at his vile ease in chariot gay,
His face, nay, even his fearful name, I'M
hidden!
Uncloaked abroad, meath all the eyes Of
day,
Which-as he passeth-close. while
breath is hushed-
Unspat upon, untrampled down, un-
crushed
I've seen the seyen-fo!d traitor"
Mr.. Fitzpatrick estimates that, out
side the proceeds OF the offices con-
ferrcd on him, Reynolds drew,
as tho direct reward of his
treachery. no less a sum
than 45,740 pounds from the British gov
eminent. He was worth it all-from
the point Of view Of the ministers Of
1I9S. Il tell you, you are considered as
a passionate, imprudent man." cried
Cooke, when the spy returned from Ice
land. Mr.. Cooke. replied Reynolds "if
were not so, perhaps Ireland would not
be a part Of the British empire; you did
net think ne passionate or imprudent
in 1898" Reynolds son tells this story
with certain pride. The traitors re-
tort, was, indeed, justifable. Ireland
was preserved by such means to the
British empire, and Thomas Reynolds
did his Fart in the work when he
planned the arrest Of the Lcinster hi.
