THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co,
THE HAWAIIAN DEBATE. Senate Clears Legislative Decks fo What May be Final Action.

Washington, June 30-Late this af- ternoon the senate cleared the legisla- tive decks from what may be the final action upon the Hawaiian annexation resolutions. Through it's action to-day the last of the appropriation bills that had been pending in conference was disposed of and was law before mid night. After debate lasting three hours the ssenate finally reoeded from its amendments to the sundry civil bill and adopted the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill. MT. AL lison, in charge of the bills, explained that it was necessary that the reports should be agreed to to-day as this was the last day of the fiscal year. He pointed out that if the bills were not
 laws by midnight they would have to
 be passed again by the two branches of congress. The delay consequent upon such ac- tion would seriously embarrass the
 government and might force congress to remain in session several weeks long,
 CT. Tn denouncing the action of the conferees for striking out the free
 homes provision of the Indian bill, MT. Pettigrew charged the republican par ty with being dominated by the money power and with the election of senators l by the corrupt use of money.
 Mr. Bate and Mr. Tillman discussed
 at length the Hawaiian annexation res
 olutions. The latter discussed the race problem from the standpoint of a | southern man, and was characteristic
 ally vigorous in his remarks. He ac- counted for the slight interest. mani | fested in the Hawaiian debate by say | ing that the question was fully discus
 sed in executive session early last win ter and that 1t was only natural that there would be a lack of interest and
 an unwillingness to listen to a repeti-
 tion of speeches delivered then.

SEVERAL IMPORTANT ONES INTER-

Batteries.

Copyright, 1898, The Associated Prcss.)
 Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay, June S0.-several intercepted dispatches from Admiral Cervera show a critical state of affairs at Santiago Both food and ammunition are reported to be get ting very short and the latter will be exhausted soon. For some days the fleet has been unable to draw @ shot from the batteries off the harbor en- trance, even though going very close in shore. All day long four American men-of-war lay within mile and a half of Morros guns, but not a shot was exchanged. The sailors on board could almost have exchanged words with the soldiers ashore. The Iowa, Massachusetts, Indiana and New Or leans could easily have been hit as they lay almost motionless within such easy range, but Morro might have been a country school house for all the hos tile demonstration it made. Word was received by Rear Admiral Sampson to- day that the Spanish supply boat Pu- rissima Conception, which escaped from Jamaica recently has arrived safely at Tunas, the port of Santi Spiritus on the southern coast of the province of Santa Clara. The naval officers here are much chagrhled at the fact that the steamer got away.

 Port Said,, June 30.-The Egyptian government has instructed the gover- nor of Port Said to stop the trans shipment of coal from Spanish colliers here to the squadron under the com- mand of Admiral Camara. It is said that the Egyptian foreign office has invited the Spanish minister, who is now here, to advise Admiral Camara to withdraw his fleet from this harbor. The Spanish steamer San Ignacio de Loyala, loaded with coal, has arrived here.
 Cairo, June 30-The following official announcement was made this afternoon: '"The Spanish ships at Port Said began coaling from their own colliers which arrived from Spain. The Egyptian government notified them that they could not allow this and that it must stop forthwith and that they must also leave Port Said, as the twenty four hours limit had been greatly ex- ceeded. The Spaniards then stated that their ships wanted repairs and be- gan discharging coal and other ma terial in order to repair"
 Washington, June 30.--It was an- nounced at the navy department this afternoon that the Spanish Cadiz l squadron had passed through the Suez canal and was proceeding eastward, l though this statement was probably ! erroneous in view of the later reports | to the press indicating that the Span- | ish vessels were stopping for repairs | The advices only hastened the prepa- rations making for the departure ot | Commodore Watson's eastern squad ron.

Let 1t not grieve thee. dear, to hear me

More fond that when alone and far apart
From thee, love thee more from day to

Not so. for then my heart would ever
pray,
For longer separation, that might
In absence from thee gain the utmost
height
OF love unrealized; nor would ! stay,
In my swift course, but onward would
press.
Until touched with eager hand the goal

No part of me thou hast, but the full
