NOT RELAXING THE BLOCKADE.

Washington. May 1.-THE fact that several
vessels under neutral flags have been per-
mitted to pass the blockade lines on the Cuban
coast is not to b, taken as an indication that
the Government intends to relax the blockade
in any degree Blu. some OF the naval officers
on the blockading station. unaware Of the fact
that the proclamation issued by the President
allowed neutr~l vessels in Cuban ports thirty
days TO clear summarily ordered some Of these
ships to sail Immediately on the establishment
Of the blockade. This was the case with the
steamer Myrtledene which was yesterday per-
mitted TO pass the blockade at Cardenas. The
ship had been previously required TO leave tho
port by the senior officer of the blockading fleet
She was entitled under the proclamation to re-
main in port until May 90. and when this fact
was brought to the attention Of the proper
thorities order, sent 10 Commodore Wat
son to let the Myrtledene re-enter Cardenas
Harbor and enjoy the privilege she had right
10 claim under the proclamation So there Ia
not, as might have been supposed at first, any
ground on the part of other neutral nations than
Great Britain to claim the right for their
sells to pass the blockade lines unless the condi.
tons are like those in the Myrtledene case.

HAWAITS LATEST PROPOSAL
COMMENT IN WASHINGTON OK THE OFFER TO
PASS AN OCCUPATION BILL.


Washington. May 1.-THE news published
this morning that Hawaii would not proclaim
neutrality. but probably would enact an occu-
patton bill. which when ratified by the Senate
would enable the United States to raise IT'S flag
over the islands and them n base OF sup
plies and operations during the war. was COM
mented on generally to-day at the Capitol II
was not considered as surprising. Representa-
tive Hit. Of Illinois. chairman Of the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs. expressed the prevailing
opinion. This probable action the part OF
Hawaii" he said "is certainly In strict accord
with what might be expected. Having favored
a pending treaty for annexation, having mani
tested her willingness and eagerness to become
a part OF the United States, II would be en-
tirely inconsistent for Hawaii now TO declare
n utralty and manifest no preference and show
no favor between this Government and It's
enemy Her refusal to declare neutrality and
her proposition 20 lend herself base OF sup
plies in emergency pending the disposition
OF the propositions now before Congress looking
10 annexation would be strong evidences OF good
faith on the part OF Hawaii. and would add
much to the influences already at work TO
complish annexation.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
has never considered n body the bin which
the Hawaiian Government favors formally per
mItting the occupation OF the Hawaiian Islands
bv the United States in case OF war. but some OF
the members OF the committee knew that such
measure was in contemplation by the Hawaiian
authorities Senator Davis, chairman Of the
committee, and Senator Frye. who occupies the
next place both had such knowledge. and both
said that the committee had never taken the
matter UP in any way. They. however. APP

The measure under consideration by the Ha-
waiians is a simple BILL granting TO the United
ctates authority to the Hawaiian territory
practically as It would the territory Of this
country. Its acceptance would be equivalent to

10 MORE VOLJNTEERS WANTED.
THE PRESIDENT NOT CONTEMPLATING AN.
OTHER CALL.

Washington. May II (SpeciaD.-The rapidity
with which the muster OF volunteers is pro-
ceedng is shown by the fact that $1,000 were re-
ported tonight. an increase Of nearly 1900 to-
day. against 10000 yesterday General Corbin
says the 100000 mark will be passed tomorrow.
and the entire force will be accepted before the
end OF the week. over half OF these men, how
ever. are destitute OF equipment. Few OF them
have arms and ammunition. and not many OF
them have servceable uniforms. 1t will be
weeks before most of the volunteers will be fully
equipped for battle.
Under these circumstances the report that the
President is contemplating an additional call for
troops is hardly worth denial had Il not been
so persistently reiterated in the last few days.
Assertions were made tonight that the Presi-
dent had prepared a proclamation TO be Issued
tomorrow, calling for $4,000 more men. On
the contrary. there is every reason for be-
lieving that no additional troops will be called
for beyond the few regiments of yellow fever
mmunes numbering less than 5000 men.

THE Spanish papers resolutely discuss the ex-
pediency of Continental alliances, which they
affect TO consider one Of the principal objects Of
the future Cabinet. The Republican papers
urge an alliance with France and Russia, at the
same time agreeing with the monarchical papers
in expecting much from the attitude Of Emperor
William. The Ministerial papers equally
keen and bitter for alliances against England.
