cERvERA NAY BE CONE.

LONDON, May 2S.-A dispatch tt
the Daily Telegraph from Kingston
Jamaica, says: Despite the mos
energetic search, the Whereabouts O.
the Spanish squadron remains un
known to the American authorities. Or
Thursday last Cervera was reported tc
be at Santiago de Cuba and Schley left
Key West for that port The next
morning l learned where the squadron
was bound and was enabled to follow
aboard the British ship Premier. Since
then we have been engaged in fruit
less search for the Spaniards in the
Gulf and the Caribbean sea.
Monday morning we came up with
the American ships off Cienfuegos and
learned that Commodore Schley be-
lieved that Admiral Cervera was in
the harbor, but owing to the nature
of the port it was impossible to learn
from the sea whether this informa-
ton was correct.
"The American squadron maintained
close blockade of the entrance. The
topmasts of three or four large vessels
could be seen in the harbor over the
promontory which conceals the en-
trance and it was believed that these
were the Vizcaya and two other cruis-
ers under Cervera.
Tuesday evening the Cuban insur-
gents sent a boat with positive in
formation that the Spanish fleet was
not in Cienfuegos harbor and just aft
er sunset Commodore Schley's squad
ron sailed away southeast, bound for
Santiago de Cuba
eve followed on the Premier, and
despite heavy gale from the south
east, kept in touch with the squadron
until 4 o'clock Wednesday, A severe
rain squall then hid the ships, and
when it cleared we found they had
altered their course and disappeared.
We stood along toward Santiago, but
as the gale increased in severity and
our supply of coal and water was dan
gerously low the Premier was obliged
to run for Kingston where she arriv-
ed on Friday at 6 o'clock.
after losing touch of the fleet we
sighted the United States gunboat
Hawk, returning to Cienfuegos from
Santiago de Cuba with the news that
the Spanish fleet under Cervera was
not at Santiago.
Il am afraid there is little chance
of meeting the Spanish fleet. The
probabilities are that Cervera, after
discharging ammunition and supplies
for Blanco at Santiago, put out again,
run down the Caribbean to Martinique
and got out into the Atlantic by the
same way he entered.
'In this way, it appears, the Spanish
fleet has completely outmaneuvered
the American commanders and has
succeeded in concealing its move
ments, although the Americans have
some seventy warships patrolling the
West Indian waters"

TREATY TO BE PASSED.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The Ha-
waiian question, which has been the
subject of no little concern about the
Senate for the past few days, assumed
definite shape today when Senators
Lodge and Morgan offered amendments
to the war revenue bearing directly
upon the subject. Senator Lodges
amendment is in the words of the New
lands resolution, and provides, in di-
rect terms, for the annexation of the
islands.
Senator Lodge was seen Immediate
ly after he had sent his amendment to
the desk, and annouced it to be his
purpose to press it to the end.
tHenceforth," said he. the two
measures must travel together. Both
are equally important, and under the
circumstances it would be foolhardy
to forego our advantages in Hawaii. "
Senator Lodges action in presenting
the amendment was the result of more
or less conference, though it was of an
informal character, among the staun-
chest advocates of annexation. They
express the opinion that the amend
ment in the end will be accepted, but
admit tat, in all probability, it will re-
suit in delaying the passage of the re-
venue bill Incorporation of Hawai-
ian annexation in the revenue bill
would, of course. have the effect of
forcing the matter upon the attention
of the House. Advocates of annexa-
ton say all but four Republican
Senators and many Democrats, Popu-
lists and Silver Republicans will vote
for Lodges amendment
The assertion is made by Senators
in favor of annexation that the ad-
ministration is more anxious than at
any previous time for legislation pro-
viding for annexation. The condi-
tion of affairs in the Philippines and
the necessity for stopping place fol
our ships on their way to those islands
they say, is the reason for the present
urgency. It is asserted that to hold
the Philippines without the posses
sion of Hawaii would be next to i'm
possible.

BLANCO,S PLANS

NEW YORK, May 27.-A cable to the
World from Madrid says: General
Blanco believes that he can easily
face any landing in Cuba by Ameri-
cans, as his forces are ready to con-
centrate and fall upon the invaders
in the, four western provinces. The
greater part of the troops on the island
are being concentrated near the coast
wherever it is thought that an at
tempt to land may be made.
The Spanish forces watch the coast
so vigilantly now that the Cuban in
surgents are said to be prevented
from receiving supplies. General
BIaneo reports that he has provisions
and ammunition enough to last five
months. having ordered the military

CERVERA AWAITS RE-EN-
FORCEMENTS

LONDON, May 2S.-A dispatch to
the Financial News from Kingston,
Jamaica, says: The master of the
fishing schooner Jane, which has ar
rived here, reports having picked up
yawl containing two reconcentra-
dos who had escaped from Santiago
de Cuba. He says they told him that
Admiral Cervera's squadron was in
the harbor; that the vessels were coal
cd and victualled and were ready to
sail when the Cadiz squadron arrives
next week and breaks the blockade. -

DISPATCHES FROM SAMPSON

WASHINGTON, May 27.-There is
reason to believe the navy officials to-
night received dispatches from Ad-
miral Sampson although at 11:3O p.
m. no bulletins had been made pub
lie. At 2 o'clock this morning the
dispatch-boat Dolphin of Commodore
Schley's squadron ran alongside the
flagship New York. which was then
off Havana, and informed her that
she bore dispatches for Admiral Samp-
son from Commodore Schley. 1t was
considered probable these dispatches
contained information of the precise
whereabouts of the Cape Verde squad
ron, and, quite naturally, the inform
alton would be sent to the naval
authorities here as soon as boats and
telegraph wires could carry it. That
the naval officials have received in
formation is not doubted, but as yet
they have not admitted the fact.

TO ATTACK SANTIAGO.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-It is be-
lieved that the conference between
Secretary Alger and General Miles and
two members of General Garcia's staff
had some relation to a plan for a land
attack on Santiago.
Garcia's aids claim he has 5000 we'll
armed men within thirty miles of San
tiago and nearly as-many more that he
could arm if he only had the rifles and
ammunition. There may be combi-
nation between American forces and
those of Garcia, which will close
around Santiago by land so as to shut
it off from supplies.

Yerkes Will Build Big Trolley System
Into the Badger State,

At the regular meeting of the city
council of Chicago franchise was
asked for by the Northern Electric
company, which will be of great inter
est TO the residents of Southern Wis
eonsin. The franchise met with very
favorable reception and as it promises
a good compensation to the Chicago
officials it will probably be passed.
The route outlined is from State and
KinZie streets westward on Kinzie to
Center. thence in a northwesterly
direction over property TO be acquired
To point between Armitage and North
avenues. 1t is proposed to build a
tunnel under the river at this point
and then run directly westward to the
city limits. Electricity, with an over
head trolley, is to be the motive power.
After leaving the city limits route
yet to be surveyed will be taken, the
line to extend to Eigin, Waukesha and
to summer resorts in the southern part
Of Wisconsin. 1t is proposed to lay
the track on an elevated roadbed west
of the river Mr.. Case said yesterday
that he represented legitimate enter
prise that would be o: great benefit to
the city.
Our object" he continued, is to
furnish Chicago with an air line that
will connect with the Wisconsin re-
sorts. Nearly all our right of way has
been secured and all the money needed
for construction is ready"
The Northern Electric company is
believed to be a Yerkes move to extend
some of his northwest lines out into
the Twenty seventh ward, where the
people, according to Alderman Kim
ball, have for a long time been demand
ing additional and better transporta-
ton facilities. The route proposed
begins at Fifty-siXth and North ave-
nues and runs west to Sixty eighth
avenue, thence north to the Chicago,
Milwaukee AMIDST. Paul railway tracks,
thence northeasterly and along those
tracks to the city limits.
Electricity with overhead wires is the.
motive power proposed, and is stated
that cars shall be usedl for no other
purposes than to carry passengers and
their ordinary baggage. The rate of
compensation this company purposes
to give would begin at the expiration
of five years from the completion Of
the road and run as follows: One per
cent of the gross receipts for period
of five years; 2 per cent for the next
five years. per cent for the next five

On flag day the people of the United
States are supposed to show their
patriotism by displaying the American
flag. The day is calculated to bring to
our minds the birth of our nation and
the travail through which it was born,
the early struggles of the colonies, the
injustlces of the mother country, the
outbreak of hostilities (which this tyr
amy provoked, the suffering, courage
and patriotism of our soldiers, the arti-
cles of confederation, through which we
saw the first glimmer of union, ulti-
mately victory over our opponents, the
Philadelphia convention, the formation
of the constitution, the election of the
first President and the final embarka-
ton of the ship of state upon it's glori-
Gus career. These are the facts which
usually the observation Of flag day
causes the mind to survey. The feel
ing aroused ia of course that of pride in
our country and the men who have
moulded it's destiny. But on this an
niversary contemplation of the star
spangled banner arouses deeper feel
ing. The innate respect which it has
inspired in every patriotic breast has
received substantial endorsement. We
are again at war. After years of peace
Old Glory is again.put to the test, and
as in '76 our national flag summoned
armed patriots toaLexington Green in
the defense of liberty, so today Old
Glory musters her legions from far and
near to preserve lnviolate the princi-
pies for which our fathers died, and
though the cause is not our own, it is
the great cause of liberty, whosecham-
pions we are. Our spirit has not
ebbed, but gathering force with the
process of time is now stronger than
ever. Today the nations of the earth
behold in us the invincible advocate of
civilization, liberty, peace. That
mighty monarchy which one hundred
years ago was our armed enemy is now
our strongest ally. Time is a great
arbiter. Through his potent agency
the wrongs which once made foes of
friends have been acknowledged and
forgiven, grievances have been forgot
ten and differences reconciled. The
close of the century promises that of
which the most sanguine at it's begin
ming never dreamed within the realm
of possibilities, sincere feeling of
| friendship and alliance between the
two greatest nations of Christendom.
