JUST LOCKERS ON.
QUEEN LII INTERESTED
Deposed Monarch Hopes for Restora-
 tiOn in Case of War.

Washington. April 9.-Probably no of the matters which are now pending between this country and Spain than eX-Queen Liliuokalani of the Hawaiian islands. Willing to catch at any straw, this deposed monarch hopes that if war is declared, by some hook or crook she may be able to regain her throne. If not that, the hope is put forward that at least the annexa- tion of he islands will be deferred until next year at least, or succeed ing years.
 Only two of the Hawaiian delegation. beside the eX-queen and her private secretary, Joseph Helel1he, remain in Washington. They are Col. Richard son and another. Their presence her 1n the first place was due to the pros pect Of annexation which was being discussed in congress until the Cubans situation took interest away from this. MT. Helleluhe said this morning that he hoped if war were declared that the matter would not be taken up for some time to come
 It has been stated that In case of war with Spain, unless too greatly hampered, would be to send a ship to Hawaii and have the United States flag raised over that country. This would be deemed expedient, as a mat ter of precaution from attack from there.
 One of the strongest pleas for an nexation has been that Hawai- iwould furnish a station for ships, whict would be valuable in just such a cast as may occur between this country ant Spain.

 Very little interest is taken in the election, as it means nothing moro than an indorsement of the members of the third class who sat in the last senate before the recent dissolution following the downfall of the Canovas cabinet, the constitution requiring that all elective senators must be re- elected in case of dissolution.

New. York, April 9.-From one of en. Merritt's staff officers it was learn ed today that the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph companies have begun to organize corps of skilled electricians, whose services are to be offered to the government should war be declared.

The particular work expected of the men is the laying of submarine cables and connecting them with submarine mines and torpedoes.
 Every man in each company has been provided with kit of tools which un- der orders, he carries with him day and night. The men have been informed of the service expected of them and they have been told that, should war

BERLIN NOT HOPEFUL.
X Proposition to Take a German Op-
 portunity Offered by the War.

Berlin, April 9.-All news of the watched in Germany as the opening of actual hostilities is expected, and German interests, especially her com mercial interests are involved. The newspapers, although still hoping that peace will not be broken, are be- ginning to discuss the probable effect of war upon trade. Public opinion is much divided, many of the papers ex- pressing an opinion that the United States ought to be satisfied with the concessions that Spain is offering; others declaring, however, that the United States is right in declaring the independence of Cuba as the only means of preventing a recurrence of the disturbance and quieting the just indignation in America at Spanish misrule.
 Hardly anybody in political circles doubts that war Is coming, the points at issue being deemed irreconcilable, although every paper does full justice to President McKinley's moderation and evident desire for peace.
 The national conservative papers have taken occasion to point out that in the event or war Germany ought to seize the opportunity to secure the ob- jects which her politicians have been aiming at for years. The Deutsche Zeitung, the leading organ of this party, expresses the hope that the
 German foreign office is arranging to Appropriate Samoa," drive the Amer jeans from there and take possession | of one or more of the Antilles, if pos
 sible the Danish islands, as Germany
 after Cuba has become American or
 independent, will require a coaling
 station in these waters for her navy

DEFENsEs OF WASHINGTON
Arranging to Lay Mines and Tor
 pedoes in the Potomac.

Washington, April 9-The ten inch disappearing guns at Fort Washing ton, the principal defense of the capi tai, were given a test in practice fir ing before a distinguished party thE afternoon. The party included Secre tary Alger. General Flagler, chief O ordnance; Senator Hanna, Represen tative Dingley of Maine, chairman of the ways and means committee, and Representative Grosvenor and others of that committee, and Chairman Hull of the military affairs committee There were three shots fired with gratifying success, demonstrating the utility of the guns in times of emerg- ency. All of the party expressed their appreciation of the formidable char acter of the defenses.
 The defenses at Washington, Balti- more and the cities on Chesapeake bay and it's tributaries have been strength ened within the past few days by tho laying of wires from Cape Charles and Cape Henry across the channels lead ing into Chesapeake bay and Hampton Roads, to which submarine mines and torpedoes can be easily attached with out trouble or delay on the first out break of hostilities. Similar facilities have been provided for locating mines and torpedoes in the channels of the Potomac at and below Sheridan Point and Fort Washington. These danger ous obstacles will not be placed in the river, however, until it becomes abso- lutely necessary for the protection Of the city. Fort Washington and Sheri- dan Point have been put in telegraphic communication with each other and with the war department.

Washington, April 9.-The president and his advisers proceeded today on the plans heretofore determined upon. His message will be sent to congress on Monday and will be accompanied by voluminous reports of consuls stationed in Cuba, which have been ac- cumulating for many months.
 During the day the president con- ferred with a number of congressional leaders as to the form of the resolu- tion to be passed by congress follow ing the presentation of his message It is now practically decided to sep arate intervention and independence. The resolution will be passed speed fly and will be confined to simple intervention, leaving the question of independence to be determined by the subsequent action of congress. This is in accord ance with the presidents expressed desire.
 Military and naval preparations continued with unabated activity and strategic experts are formulating pros pective plans of campaign. It seems to be the accepted view among those experts that it will not be necessary to extend the campaign beyond the island of Cuba unless Spain assumes an aggressive attitude, in which case the operations of the United States military and naval forces will be ex tended to the Spanish possessions O Porto Rico, the Philippines, the Ca naries and possibly to Spain itself
 It is the opinion, however, that tht fighting will not xetend far beyond Cuba and Cuban waters, and that afte the United States obtains control O Cuba hostilities will not be prolonged This view, however, leaves cut th' fact that after the fighting begins i cannot be foretold how far it will go and the government is preparing fo emergencies.

 devoted to terse review of the whole Cuban insurrection. It is shown that it directly concerns the people Of the United States, and their interests in the island and on the high seas. The president points out the Justification for the interference of the United States. He clearly expresses that this interference should take the form of forcible intervention, so that anarchy and lawlessness now existing shall have an immediate en l. There are two counts in the indictment drawn by the president, both due to Spain's complete failure to maintain law and order. The first count is a menace to the commerce of the world, and par ticularly to that part which is SUD- ported by the United States.
 But it is in the second count that he describes the terrible results of the lawlessness under the Spanish rule Here he deals with the destruction o1 the Maine. In plain, forcible lan- guage the president declares the blow ing up of the battleship in Havana har- bor was the direct result ot the failure of the Spanish the Cuban or any government | claiming to administer the laws or the island of Cuba to suppress the condition of anarchy existing there Then there is set forth this noteworthy fact: ''The Spanish government has not sirce the day the Maine was de. stroyed, either through it's diplomatic | representative in Washington ol through it's American representative in Madrid, disavowed the responsible | ity for that destruction"

TO STUDY AMERICAN PIGEONS.
French Army Officer Comes to the
 United States for That Purposa

New York, April 9.-Officials of the French line are very much gratiied at the success of the experiment with car Tier pigeons on the steamship Bret agne. One of the birds released from the vessel with tidings of the rescue of the Bothnia's crew, alighted on the British steamship Challertcn 250 miles south of the Scilly islands.
 Captain Reynaud of the Second reg iment of the Dragons of the French army has been detailed by his govern ment to experiment with carrier pig cons. He arrived today and will re- main here for several weeks studying the habits and carrying properties of American pigeons, and will assist M. D. Bocande, agent here of the French line. in selecting those to be put aboard the steamships leaving this port The accident of the Champagne impressed the officials of the French line with the need of establishing communication with shore in case of disablement, in jury or serious delay. However, this is not the only use to which the birds will be put. After the system has been perfected, arrangements will be made to have quintuple messages sent by means of five birds upon the pay ment of $4.
