Should Negotiations Cease

Should Negotiations Cease
 Should Spain cede by treaty, or on the other hand, should she refuse and break off negotiations here, her protests will em- body some such declarations as this
 As against such sentiment it is argued that the business in hand is work for grown men, and that it would be childish folly to refuse $2O,OOO,000, and that the Spanish gov- ernment could not justify such a refusal before the Spanish people the public creditors of Spain, a deliberate throwing away of $20 900 in addition to the loss of the Philippines.
 Last night the Spanish commissioners sent the American proposition by special messenger to Madrid, where it will arrive tomorrow. It is felt that the Spanish gov ernment must now answer the American ultimatum, but as 1t is not likely that the answer of Madrid will arrive tomorrow in time for the commissioners to formulate their reply to the Americans by the after noon, it is probable that joint meetings will be deferred from tomorrow to a day later in the week.
 o -sAs Received in Madrid
 Madrid November 23.--The proposals of the United States peace commissioners have been received here without any public 
 sensation. The general feling is in favor of a speedy ending of the negotiations.
 The newspapers lament the 'ungenerosi- ty'' of the United States in offering such a small indemnity. They think that Japan or some of the European powers would have paid higher price,
 There are those who contend it would be better to decline indemnity altogether, be- cause the government could then decline responsibility for the Philippine debt.
 There is much irritation at the apathy of Europe.
 The Imparcial says: "President McKin- ley now boasts of having himself written the protocol in order to mislead Spain This is adding insult to injury. Yet Europe looks on undisturbed. All ideas of justice have vanished from the world.'
 It has been decided to issue a thousand million pesetas of nominal interior bonds at per cent. to be devoted to the treasury.

Fourth Round-The sailor was right after his man and essayed lefts and rights for the head landing each time. Corbett ciinched and acted entirely on the defen- siye. Corbett led left for the head, land- ing on the neck and Sharkey sent hard right on the body. Corbett began then to do some punching and jabbed his man at will, but at long range, but Tom always had counter ready. Corbett repeatedly led his left and damaged Sharkey's face considerably. The sailor chased his oppop7 ent into the latter's corner and received Ia series of jabs for his action.
 Fifth Round-Corbett started right off with a left jab on the face, and was ap- parently attempting to fool with his man. Sharkey, however, was not in a playful mood, and brought his hand over with force enough to make Jim vince. Jim hooked his left rather low on Toms body and lifted Sharkey off his feet with his shoulder Corbett appeared to be a tri1e weary and his blows lacked steam, whereas there was a world of force behind Shar- keys punches.
 Sixth Round-Corbett led for the head with his left, landing, but Sharkey was right after him like a whirlwind. Tom started in to mix it up and whipped in some corkers on the body. Corbett retaliated with light tabs on the face and fairly force full blows on the body. Midway through the round there was rattling mix up, both exchanging lefts and rights on the head and body, with the sailor having a shade the better of it. There were cries of foul when Corbett hit his man on break apay, which the referee had not called. xee men were clinched at the bell after participating in a very fast mix up.

Again in the Service.

NEW YORK, Aug. %. "A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The navy department has decided
to send all the single -turreted mon .
itOrs to Cuba and Porto Rico as per-
manent guard-ships in the chief har,
bOrs of those islands.
These monitors, which were built
for service in the civil war, several of
them bearing scars Of conflict after
thirty years of disuse, were restored to
excellent condition soon after the
Maine was blown up, some of them be-
ing equipped with entirely new water
tube boilers and having the benefit of
extensive improvements. During the
war with Spain they have been man
aged by naval militlamen, and consti-
tuted the chief source of strength of
the auxiliary naval force guarding the
AbldublC COAST,
The vessels are the Ajax, the Canon
icus, the Mahopaca, the Manhattan,

Jason, the Lehigh. the Montuak, the
Nahart, the Nantucket, and the Pas

water, aud each of them carries two
l5.lnch smooth-bore guns 10 its turret.
1t is intended that they shall not
only provide for the defense of Cuban
harbors against exterior assaults. but
their magazines are to be stored with
large quantities Of grape and canister
for the purpose of maintaining order
ashore.

ANEXATIoN COMPLETED.
Impressive Ceremony Performed at Hon
olulu on August 18th.

steamer Belgic brought the following
report from Hawai:
HONOLULU, Aug. i2.-Precisely at
eight minutes to IL o'clock today the
Hawaiian flag descended from the
fiaRstafrs on all the government build
ings, and at exactly five minutes TO
the same hour the Stars and Stripes
fioated on the tropical breeze from
every official flagstaff.
The ceremony today was an impres-
siye one. TIC hear the strains of
"Hawaii Ponoi" for the last time, as
the national anthem, to hear the
bugle blow taps as the Hawaiin ensign
sank from its position, and to notice
the emotion OF many who had been
born under il and had lived their
lives uJder it, was solemn. But then
came the bright call for raising Old
Glory, and the strains of the "Star
Spangled Banner" broke forth as that
banner was unfurled to the breeze.
Then cheers broke forth, and eyes,
which had been dim for a few
moments. became bright and light
ened up when The Stars and Stripes
blew out.
The ceremonies began with the de-
parture of the first regiment of the
National Guard of Hawaii from the
drill shed. The ceremonies opened
with prayer on the steps in front of
the executive building. United
States Minister Sewall then arose,
and, addressing President Dole, pre-
sented him with certified copy Of
the jCint resolution Of congress, an.
nexing the Hawaiian islands TO the
United States.
President Dole answered, acknowl-
edging making the treaty for polit-
ical union. and formerly yielded to
Minister Sewall, as the representa-
tive of the government of the United
Stotes, sovereignty and the public
property of the Hawaiian islands.
Minister Sewall replied:
"Mr. President: In the name of the
United States, l accept the transfer
Of sovereignty and the property OF the
Hawaiian government. The admiral
commanding the United States
navy forces in these waters will pro-
ceed To perform the duty entrusted to
him."
The Hawaiian band played "Ha-
wall Punoi," the national anthem,
aud Colonel Fischer gave the order to
the national guard, stationed on the
executive grounds, to lire the national
salute of twenty -one guns, which was
also repeated by the guns of the Phila-
delpha. AS the echo Of the last gun
reverbrated in the hills, the bugle |
sounded and the national ensign OF
Hawaii came slov ly down until 1t
reached the ground, never TO go up
again.
There was slight pause, then Ad-
mlral Miller nodded slightly TO
Lieutenant Winterhalter, who gave
order "colors." The nagShjp'S baud
struck up the"Star SPangled Banner"
aud as the stars and stripes ascended
there was breathless suspense. But
As IL reached the top, cheers broke
iorth from the crowds below, and
ialutes Of twenty one guns were
lgaln tlred by the Hawaiian battery
lad the Philadelphla.
Minister Sewall then read the pro-
stating that President
