SPAIN MUST FIGHT SOON
Special Dispatch to The Sun.

Special Dispatch to The sun.
WAsHINGroN, May lit is said ly
the best informed men of Congress ON
international questions that there is abb
solutel y no possibility of this Govern
ment allowing itself to be interfered with
either in the prosecution of this war or
the conclusion of the terms of peace by
what any OF the foreign Powers may say
The representatives of the foreign Pow
ers would not be warranted in express
ing any opinion on the subject to this
country. Such a course on their part
would be promptly resented. Should
they attempt to induce Spain to sue for
peace they could not suggest any terms
of peace to this country. The indication
that they may advise Spain to yield on
the basis of the surrender of Manila and
payment of indemnity, to be secured hv
the occupation of Manila, is entirely
gratuitous as far as it relates to the terms
of peace coming from other Govern
mentS, that being a matter which we
must settle ourselves with Spain.
VIII, her we shall take and hold the
Philippine Islands and Porto Rico, or
how We shall dispose of these islands
after they have been taken, is matter
for the future which this Government
will reserve the right to decide for itself.
In fact, it is felt that we can very
nearly see the end of all possibility Of
effective aggressive movements on the
part OF SPUN. 1t appears today that
there is some little hesitation and uncer-
tainly in high quarters, threatening a
little delay in putting into complete
operation the plans already determined
upon with respect to the invasion of
Cuba.
General Niles departure has again
been postponed, and it may be day or
two before he leaves for Tampa, and the
orders to Lee have been temporarily sus-
pended. This does not signify change
of plans.

Plan of Invasion.

Special Dispatch to THE SrN.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE naval and
military operations have been very great
ly simplitied by the determination to in.
wade Cuba at once with large army,
and the fact that our fleets have been 50
organized as to be able to operate against
the Spanish fleet in whatever quarter it
may appear.
The patrol of our scout cruisers has
shown that there is no Spanish fleet in
any quarter where we have any reason
to dread it, and nearly any alternative
that can be thought of has been so we'll
prepared for that the Departments are
not hampered in aggressive operations
by any apprehension as to our own de.
fences.
1t is extremely doubtful that an attack
will be made on Porto Rico in the alb
sence of the Spanish fleet in those
waters until after our army of invasion
has been landed in Cuba and proba-
bly, until after Havana has been re.
duced.
If the Spanish fleet is at Cadiz there
will beample time for operations in Cuba
before that fleet can reach Porto Rico,
and SIMPSONS fleet having returned to
Cuban waters, an attack from the COM
bined Spanish fleet upon us in that
quarter is not to be dreaded
IT, after operations have begun in
Cuba, it is learned definitely that a
strong fleet has sailed from Cadiz, Il suf-
ticently strong naval force can be organ
lied to meet the Spanlards without in
any way hampering our operations in
Cuba, and the certainty as to where the
Spanish fleet is will make it possible for
Schleys squadron to be used either in
the Cuban operations or to meet lle
Spanish boats at Porto Rico without
there being any apprehension on account
of our sea coast cities being left without
naval defence.

the departure Of the cruiser Charleston

Hawaii viii soon Be Ours

Special Dispatch to The Sun.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE House
Committee on Foreign Affairs did not
take any action today in regard to the
bill for annexing Hawaii, but will meet
tomorrow and vote to report the bill tC
the House.
The delav in this matter has been
c us' d b., t desire OF the Republican
readers to give the Committee on Rules
an opportunity to prepare an order for
the House setting time for the dis
cussion OF the bill and dat, for voting
upon it.
If the House Committee reports the
bill tomorrow, the Committee on Rules
will report the order, and the House will
therefore soon vote to annex the island.
1t is thought that the Senate will also
speedily pass the bill, for there are ten
majority in its favor in that branch of
Congress.

WHERE'S CAPE VERDE FLEET?
Special Dispatch to The Sun.

special Dispatch TO The Sun.
WASHINGTON, May 11.-While the De-
partment has further confirmation of the
information that the Cape Verde fleet is
at Cadizand this is coupled with report
that, joined by other vessels, it is to be.
gin operations of some sort, some of the
best authorities feel that such informa-
ton cannot be safely accepted with i'm.
plicit confidence.
They think it wise to guard against Gn-
ception. 1t is not absolutely certain
that the dispatches announcing the ar
rival of the Cape Verde fleet at Cadiz
are reliable
Though the dispatches to the Depart
ment came from two official sources. it
is realized that it would be entirely pos
slble for both Ambassador Hay and the
naval attache at London, from whom
the dispatches were received, to have
been deceived.
The mere fact that a dispatch making
that announcement to the press and to
the American officials at London could
be got out Of Cadiz, gives ground for sls-
picion rs to its accuracy.
The censorship over the teegral h
from Caaiz is very strict, and it is re-
garded as not likely that any inforna-
tion could be got from there by wire,
unless the Spanish authorities were will
ing that it should 60 ont. Consequently
there is a great difference of opinion as
to the reliance to be placed on the in
formation.

The authorities here hardly expect her
to make more than thirteen knots with
her heavy stock OF coal, ammunition and
supplies. Her coal bunkers are rather
limited, SO that she will probably have
to stop at Honolulu to recoaI. Her trip
to Manila will take about two weeks.
The City of Pekin which will follow
her. is very fleet merchantman, capable
of being pushed to eighteen knots or
more, SO that even with the handicap she
has of starting several days after the
Charleston there is prospect she may
overhaul her in the race across the
Pacific and reach Manila first.
This will depend, however, on h' W
soon the City of Pekin can be made
ready for start. Saturday is he earliest
date mentioned. The Charleston is COM
manded by Captain Henry Glass. Aside
from CARRYING ammunition and supplies
to Admiral Dewey, the Charleston will
prove valuable adjunct to his squadron.
She will come next to the Olympia and
Baltimore in point of size and effective
ness.
In determining upon this speedy de-
parture OF the Charleston, the author-
ties lere have had in mind not only the
need Of giving early relief to Admiral
Dewey, but also have been somewhat
apprehensve OF the attitude of the
Philippine insurgents.
The news reports reaching here from
the Philippines, indicating that the
insurgent forces might resort to massa-
ere, are received without serious at
tention by officials, as they recognize
that our present position in controlling
Manila Bay imposes Il certain degree Of
responsibility in seeing that civilized
methods prevail and that the insur-
rectionists do not resort To lawless and
incendiary measures.

LAWRENCE, Kan. Jan. S.-Representatives of
tho young lady fraternities Of the Kansas Uni.
versity to the number of thirty.fve, together
with the wives of a number of the professors of
the institution. and a few Of the matrons of the
city, met this afternoon to take steps to prevent
tho use of intoxicating liquors at the parties
given by members of the male fraternities at the
school. The young lady fraternities repre-.
sented were the Kappa Kappa Gammas. the
Kappa Alpha Thetas, and the Pi Beta Phis.
A resolution was passed declaring that at tho
next fraternity party at which q scent Of liquor
was detected the young lady making the dis.
covery was to give q sign, at which all the
young ladies present were to at once leave for
homo in a body. The fraternity girls present
pledged themselves Individually and as fra
ternities to abide by this decision. 1t will be
put in effect at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity
party Of Feb. 4. and IL liquor is not detected on
any Of tho young mon in attendance, then to
take the same action at the first party where
the liquor odor was found. A committee Of
Miss Kate Addison of the Kappa Kappa Gamma
fraternity, Miss Bessie Stone of the Kappa Al.
pha Theta fraternity, and Miss Nell Blakely of
the Pi Beta Phi fraternity was appointed to
write n letter to each of the young mems fra
ternities at Kansas University. notifying. them
of the action taken. requesting them to prohibit
the use of liquors. a nd asking them to give the
young ladies cooperation in their plan.
The meeting was an enthusiastic, one. and
many experiences were told by the young
ladies present who were united in decrying the
practice Of drinking at parties. In reciting the
experiences one of the ,mntrons present said the
young ladies were TO blame In q great many in
stances by drinking with tho young men and
oven offering them drink at their homes. An
other suggested that the practice would have
less excuse II the girls would agree to go home
early from parties. as the young men would not
then have the excuse of being tired for taking a
drink. In this connection 1t was suggested that
the young ladies ought to go to the parties
In a body, hiring an express wagon for
that purpose. and returning home In the same
manner. Another excuse for this plan was tho
statement that chaperones did not do their
remained to go home alone with their escorts
till q couple of hours later. a practice which tho
speaker said had been reported as an evil one.
In detecting the liquor on the breaths of the
young men. II was suggested that q male friend
OF some of the girls be asked to be /" ~spotter" and
tell whom liquor was discovered. as the young
ladies thought they would not be able to do 1t
themselves.
