Washington, June Is. = The last
lingering doubt that may have existed
as to the presence of Cervera s feet in
its entirety in Santiago harbor was re-
moved when Admiral SIMPSONS dis
patch reached the navy department.

number and character of the vesselsly
ing in the harbor shielded from observa-
ton by the hills had been obtained
through Cuban sources, supplemented
by such glimpses as could be obtained
by naval officers from the outside en-
trance. Now, however, according ID
Lieut.. Blue, the ships have been actual
ly seen by an American officer, counted
and inspected from such points of van
tage as were afforded by the high hills
surrounding the harbor.

PASS THE HOUSE.
Through by a Large Ma
jOrity-A Synopsis.

Washington, June 16.-By a vote of
209 to 81 the house of represen tatives
Wednesday afternoon adopted the New
lands resolutions providing for the an
neXation of Hawaii. The debate, which
has continued without interruption
since Saturday, has been one of the
most notable of this congress. the pro-
posed annexation being considered of
great commercial and strategic impor-
lance by its advocates and being looked
upon by its opponents as involving
radical departure from the long-estab-
lished policy of the country and likely
to be followed by the Inauguration of
pronounced policy of colonization, the
abandonment of the Monroe doctrine
and participation in international
wrangles.
The resolutions adopted in pream-
BILE relate the offer of the Hawaiian re-
public to cede all of its sovereignty and
absolute title to the government and
crown lands, and then by resolution ac-
cept the cession and declare the islands
annexed. The resolutions provide for
commission of five, at least two of
whom shall be resident Hawaiians, to
recommend to congress such legislation
as they may deem advisable. The pub
lie debt Of Hawaii, not to exceed $4,000
600, is assured. Chinese immigration
is prohibited; all treaties with other
powers are declared null, and it is pro-
vided that until congress shall provide
for the government of the islands ali
civil, judicial and military powers now
exercised by the officers of the existing
government shall be exercised in such
manner as the president shall direct,
and ne is given power to appoint per-
sons to put in effect a provisional gov
eminent for the islands.
Washington, June 1o.-The foreign
relations committee, through Senator
Davis, the chairman, reported favor
ably to the senate the Newlands reso-
buttons for the annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands. Only about Is minutes
time was consumed by the committee
in reaching thefconclusion to report
the resolutions for the acquisition of
the Hawaiian islands by the United
States.
