LIEUTENANT ENOCHS, OF THE 18TH.
That Officer Was in Town Last Night from
Fort Wingate En- Route to Dulce Oh
Government Business,

Lieutenant Berkeley Enochs, of the
25th infantry, was guest last night at
the Palace from Fort Wingate, and left
this morning over the narrow gauge for
the Jicarrilla subagency, where he will
represent the War department in the
distribution of clothing to the noble red
man, The lieutenant graduated from
West Point in the last class whose
members We're given their diplomas and
hurried into the field six weeks before
the regular time for graduation. This
was a pleasant thing for the entire
class, because senior annual eXamina-
tions We're escaped and several men
whose low stand might have prevented
them from graduation received their
diplomas all the same, and graduated
like the higher stand men. However,
Lieutenant Enochs was high stand
man and was well thought of by his
instructors. He was sent to Cuba with
the 25th infantry and served through
the thick of the fight at Ell Caney. His
command had to subsist on half rations
for awhile, but the lieutenant says he
he and his men managed to scrape
through all right He says the Span
iards had marked advantage over the
American troops in that their system of
loading enabled them to load and fire
far more rapidly than the Americans.
Lieutenant Enochs doubts the 25th in
fantry being sent to Manila although
the oath infantry, the other colored in
fantry regiment, may go.

SPAIN PLAYING FOXY.
She Wants to Know What West Indian
Privileges Will Be Accorded Her Ere
Granting Certain American
Demands.

Paris, Dec. 6.--The joint commission
met at 2 p. m. 1t developed that yester-
days session resulted in the Americans
partially rejecting Spain's request that
the ships of that country and its prod
ucts be admitted to Cuban and Puerto
Rican ports for term of years under
the same regulations and customs tariff
as American ships and products. The
Spanish commission has been playing
for time. The Americans were anxious
for decision on the proposed coaling
station in the Caroline islands, religious
tolerance in the Carolines and the re-
lease of political prisoners. The Span
iards were unwilling to answer these
points until they heard what the Amer
leans proposed to do for their industries
built up by the Cuban and Puerto Rican
trade.

HAWAITS RULERS
Bill Providing for Government of the
New Territory Has Been Sent
to Congress.
CAREFULLY DRAWN PAPER
Particular Pains Have Been Taken to Shut
Out All Undesirable Citizens
from Use of the Elective
Franchise

Washington, Dec. 6.-The president
transmitted to congress today the re-
| port of the Hawaiian commission, to-
| gether with the three bills drawn by
| the committeefor the government of the
| islands as part of the United States.
The principal bill outlines the general
plan of government the other two
deal with subordinate questions. OF
the main bill, the commissioners be-
lieve it will prove to be such a meas
ure for the government of the Hawaiian
| islands as will best promote the welfare
of the people. AT the same time it pro-
notes the interests and maintains the
sovereignty of the people of the United
States The bill provides for erecting
the islands into a territory of the United
States, to be styled the territory of Ha-
waii. 1t contains provisions for the
government of the territory, including
| a governor, secretary, United States
district judge, United States district at
torney and United States marshal. The
officers of the territory, under the new
regime, are the attorney general, treas
urer, superintendent of public works,
superintendent of public instruction,
auditor deputy auditor, surveyor and
sheriff. Probably the most important
part of the bill is the section defining
citizenship, which provides that "all
white persons, including Portuguese
i
persons descending from the Hawaiian
race on either the paternal or maternal
side. who were citizens of the republic
of Hawaii, Immediately prior to trans
fer of the sovereignty there of the Unit
ed States, are hereby declared citizens
of the United States"
Provision is made for a legislature, to
consist of two houses, whose members
will be elected biennially. The voters
for representatives are required to be
male citizens, q vars old, of five years
residence in the territory, able to ''un
derstandingly speak, read and write the
English or Hawaiian language"
To vote for senator's the person must,
in addition, own real property worth
81 900. The bill provides for the election
of delegate to congress to possess the
same powers and privileges now ac-
corded to other delegates.
The governor is to appoint the chief
justice and two associate justices of the
supreme court. The governor is to pos
sess veto power, but his veto may be
overridden by a two-thirds vote in both
houses of the legislature. The existing
laws in Hawaii, not inconsistent with
the constitution and laws of the United
States or this act, continue in force,
subject to repeal or amendment by the
legislature of Hawaii or by congress.
The bill also provides that the consti-
tuition and laws of the United States To-
cally applicable shall have the same
force and effect in the territory of Ha-
waii as elsewhere in the United States
