CHAIRMAN HIT TALKS
SANS HAWAII SHOULD COME IN
BY ALL MEANS.
rhe Sugar and Other Questions in
Connection He Says are Merely
observation-disclosures Points.

Chairman HIT of the House Com
mittee on Foreign Relations in an in
terview with the Washington cores
pendent of the Chicago Post, gives
these reasons why Hawaii should be
annexed:
"The gist in my opinion of the whole
Hawaiian situation lies in ,ne strateg-
ic advantages of the little group con
sidered as a station or point or basis
of operations favoring our Western
coast. There is a strong resemblance
in this case to the Bermudas, except
that the Bermudas are not so conf
handing. That is, there are no is
would in case of conflict, take their
place with European powers, one of
which possesses the Bermudas. In
the possession of the Hawaiian Is
lands we could have what might be
considered safety for our Western
coast against the naval powers eN-
cept Great Britain, which could get
coal for her ships from the British Co
lumbia ports and use that base for
naval operations.
"The subordinate features of the
question much discussed-the ques-
ton of sugar, the character of the
population, the mode of government
etc.-are, [ think of minor import
ance. The control of a country can
not be permanently held half way. We
have now by treaty certain exclusive
rights. but that is a terminable trea-
ty. The Hawaiian Republic is theo-
retically an Independent nation, al.
though wholly incapable of defending
itself and preserving its independence
conflict any naval power presenting t.
self will take possession. Once pos
sessed by power like Japan, England
or Germany, it would be the story OF
the Bermudas over again, only a
stronger and more effective Bermuda

station 1000 miles out from San Fran.
cisco will proportionately increase the
effective result of the expenditure IN
sending out ship. Having no neigh.
boring islands it leaves the immense
expanse of the Northern Pacific utter
ly inhospitable to our opponent if we
hold it. 1t is thus of great value as a
basis of defense or for an enemy to OPP.
crate against.
Il have thought for many years that
these islands were of essential i'm
portance to us. The impression that
| got when in the State Department
in 1881 remains with me. When the
question of extending the reciprocity
treaty was then under consideration.
| was impressed with these facts. The
sugar question and its branches is q
matter of squabble between compel
ing interests. Once incorporated all
will go into the hopper together as
completely as are today the Deet root

SPAIN WAITS PEACE.
Wa shington Authorities Believe She is
Preparing to Invite Terms.

Wa shington Authorities Believe She IA
Preparing to Invite Terms.
Washington, June THE belief is
growing in the best informed govern
ment circles, that Spain is sincerely
anxious to make peace, and that even
now she is seeking favorable oppor-
tunity to make overtures in that di-
rection. Numerous evidences of this
have come to the attention of the au-
thorities here, but up to this time no
actual move has been made toward as
certaining on what bcsis the United
States would consider peace.
1t is said that the first step would be
toward having some disinterested
power make inquiry of this govern
ment as to what terms would be &C
cepted, after which, the terms being
stated, it would be for Spain to form
a commission and make formal ten
der of peace.
The authorities here feel that Spain
is feeling her way towards move
ment of this kind One evidence of it
is the utterance of the Spanish ambas-
sador at London. urging that peace
movement is opportune at this time.
1t is thought to be highly improbable
that "a Spanish official of his rank
would make statement of this kind
unless it voiced the view entertained
by the authorities at Madrid. Another
evidence is the sending of Senior Cas-
tillo to Paris, his principal mission be-
ing to enlist sympathy there.

Captain Gridlcy o the Olympia Dies TT m
Injuries Received.
Washingto ton, June Captain Charles
V. Gridley, commander of the cruiser
Olympia. and one of the heroes of the
brilliant victory of Manila, is dead.
The announcement OF his death was
received by the navy department in
cablegram from Paymaster Calf, of the
navy, dated at Kobe, Japan, June 4,
and directed to Secretary Long The
dispatch contains this simple state
ment: Captain Gridley died today.
Remains accompany me on Coptic."
Captain Vernon Gridley is the first
American officer of great prominence
whose death is a direct result of the
existing war with Spain. AS the com
mander of Admiral Dewey's splendid
flagship, and one of the admirals chief
advisers, Captain Gridley achieved dis
tinction at the battle of Manila bay
and added to his previous laurels by
winning high praise from his superiors
in the service for distinguished gal
lantry and ability. He fought his ship
from the coming tower, while Admiral
Dewey directed the movements of his
squadron from the bridge of the vessel.
1t was not known for several weeks
after the engagement that Captain
Gridley had suffered from it, and even
now the precise nature of his trouble is
not disclosed.
Upon the arrival of the Zafro at
Hongkong on the Goth of May, the navy
department was notified that Captain
Gridley had been condemned by a
board of medical survey and ''invalided"
home. Subsequent advices received
by the department indicated that
Captain Gridley was suffering from the

Washington, June Peace signs
have been multiplying. There has been
notable change in the tone Of the
Spanish press and although up to this
moment no advances have been made
to the state department by any of the
European powers. there is an indeti-
ute suggestion in the air that any
moment may bring forth overtures Of
this kind. For this reason the cam
paign against Porto Rico viii probably
be hurried in order to insure its pos
session by the United States before
peace is attained
Army preparations go forward with
ont the slightest sign of cessation.
Bids have bren opened for supplying
1,5OO. 900 cartridges, two more trans
ports have been purchased and ar
engagements have been made TO use four
of the large Spanish steamers cap
tured as prizes for the transportation

Washington. June 7.--Advices from
Manila confirm persistent rumors of
spanish reverses at the hands Of in
surgents under AcquiHdldo. Spanish
yarrisons around Manila have all been
driven into the city, and all the Spanish
population is being removed into the
walled portion of the city. For seventy
hours hand-to-hand combat has
ragged, with the advantage decidedly
on the side of the insurgents, who fight
with long knives. A thousand Span
lards have been killed and about 1000
captured.
The insurgent have taken Malaban,
Taralae, Bacoor and San Tamera, and
are attacking Moorlate, which is a sub
orb of the city.
A native regiment has shot its officers
and joined the insurgents. The in
surgent army is growing daily.
Admiral Dewey has gathered the
steamers now blockaded in the river to
lie off Cavite in readiness To receive
foreigners. The Spanish are losing
arms, ammunition and field pieces
almost daily, so persistent are the
rebel attacks. The natives are flock

the whole, conducting the campaign on

to draw in fifteen-round bout at Stu

more scientific of the two. During The

Jones whenever he wanted to, but his
blows lacked force and were ineffective.
On the other hand, Jones is small but
powerfully-built lad. and though lacking
in science, was able to take his punish

BASKETBALL LEAGUES COMBINE

There is scarcely any doubt now about
the amalgamation of the District and Ma

which had teams in the two associations
last season, met last night at the Light

considered the proposition to combine
forces.
1t is the intention of the new organiza-
ton to play all games under the national
rules, probably deviating from these only
in respect to the number of players on
each team. Seven of the eight clubs pres
ent expressed preference for seven men
a side instead of five and nine respective
ly, as last season. 1t will be decided also
to play all league games in one central
hall or gymnasium.

THE TIGERS EXPECT TROUBLE.
A Hard Game With Pennsylvania Is
Anticipated Today.

Princeton, Oct. 25.-The eleven eased up
considerably in their practice this even
ing on account of the reports that have
reached here concerning the strength of
the Pennsylvania State College team and
the hard game that is consequently ex-
pected with them tomorrow The regular
lineup was shortened and was preceded
by long drill in punt cathing for the
half backs, the full backs doing the
punting and some Individual coaching for
the linemen The practice game with the
scrub showed big let-down in the Var
sity work compared with yesterday.
This year, instead of having one head
coach, with unlimited power, a commit
tee composed of Alexander Moffatt, Har-
ry Brown, and Langdon Lea has been
formed and has assumed full authority
over the team.
