Readiness to Receive

setting the last transport passed out Of
the Golden Gate, led by the flagship
China. The expedition carried $500
men, distributed among four vessels.
Thousands of people assembled along
the docks to witness the departure of
the feet, and when the signals order.
ing the vessels to get under way were
observed mighty cheer went up. Yes.
sells in the harbor blew long blasts from
their sirens, and every factory and mill
in the manufacturing district saluted
the vessels with blasts from their whis.
ties. The water front was black with
people. and the waving of flags and
handkerchiefs presented a beautiful
sight.
Arrangements are now being made
for the sailing Of the third expedition.
1t is believed the feet will be ready by
June IS. Thus far the steamers Indi-
ana, Ohio. Morgan City. City OF Para

WASHINGTON, June l6.-Secretary
Alger has just received the report Of
the special board, headed by Major
Hopkins, that was charged with the
inspection Of various points which were
offered as good camping grounds for
the United States troops. The best fea-
lures for military camp were found

affords splendid camping and drill
grounds for 20, 900 troops, and within a
mile lies one Of the finest beaches in
the country. One Of the features Of
the site Is well 1,700 feet deep, tiow-
ing pure water at the rate of 10000, 900
gallons per day. The board reported
that this water could be piped all over
the camp, and Secretary Alger, with q
view to having everything in readiness,
has ordered the piping to be laid at
once, thus indicating the departments

n WASHINGTON, June l6.--A clear.

Pt the state department of the accuracy
of the London Star publication reciting
that the United States government had
been notified either directly Or in.
directly of any purpose on the part of
Germany to interfere in the military or
naval operations in the Philippines.
The London publication is correct to
the extent Of saying that Secretary

5cations. These, however, are directly
Rthe reverse of the alleged notifications
published in London. In brief, the
herman authorities have made it clear,
denying that any of the reports at.

RABBI NOW AT ACERRADEROS
Cuban General Occupies a Fine
Port Only Eight Miles
From Santiago.
VIII Afford Excellent Facilities
for Unloading the Army
of Invasion.

WASHINGTON, June l6.-The welcome
news came to the navy department dur.
ing the afternoon that the little band
of American marines who had planted
the flag ON Crest Hill, Guam tanamo,
and were defending it night and day
against heavy odds, were not only safe,
but were strongly reinforced by 1900
Cubans from the commands of Garcia
and Rabbi, and were now strong
enough to more than hold their own.
It was disclosed in dispatch from Ad.
miral Sampson, and brought much re-.
lief to naval officers. The early reports
had indicated that the marines were
surrounded, and it was feared that they
might be compelled to return to the
ships before General Skaters invad.
ing army reached there.
Arrived In the Nick Of Time.
The coming of the Cuban forces
seems to have been in the nick Of time
and naval officials give tho fullest
credit to the timeliness Of this Cuban
cooperation. The admirals dispatch
stated that the condition Of the marines
was entirely satisfactory" W hich as
surance, although brief, was enough to
relieve officials here Of the fears they
had entertained. But probably the
most significant feature Of the ad.
miral's dispatch was the statement
that the Cuban general, Rabbi, had
occupied Acerraderos, only eight miles
from Santiago. and practically suburb
\ Of that Spanish stronghold. 1t was the
\ execution Of plan arranged in Wash
&ington some weeks ago, when two Of
the staff officers of General Garcia
came here to confer with General
A Miles.
Aoerraderos Fine Port.
II At that time Garcia and Rabbi were
Nat Bayamo, in the western part OF San.
tiago province and more than 100 miles
northwest Of Santiago de Cuba. Ad-
miral SIMPSONS dispatch showed that
Rabbi and his force has made COM
Nplete circuit of Santiago de Cuba and
&coming up to the south of it has occu.
Spied Acerraderos. This is looked upon
ns O fine military stroke, for Acerra-
deros is the port where iron wharves
will afford facilities for unloading the
heavy artillery carried by General
Skaters invading expedition. The
news also indicated 10 the authorities
here that the Spanish garrison at San.
tiago has practically retreated inside
the city proper, giving up the outlying
towns. Admiral Sampson also states
that General Garcia is cooperating
with the American forces.

Hour Session.
Announcement of the Vote APP
plauded by the Members
and Galleries.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-By vote Of
Of 200 to 81 the house adopted the
Newlands resolution providing for the
annexation of Hawaii. The debate,
which proceeded since Friday, was
one Of the most notable of this con-
gress, the position Of the islands being
claimed to be Of commercial value and
Of strategic Importance by its support.
ers and being looked upon by its op-
ponents as being radical departure
from the long established policy Of the
country and likely to be followed by
the inauguration of policy of colo
nization, the abolition Of the Monroe
doctrine and participation in interna.
tional wrangles. More than half q
hundred members
Participated In the Debate.
From party standpoint the vote was
awaited with the keenest interest. The
Republicans gave practically unani.
nous support to the proposition, but
three Of their members voting against
it. In the Democratic ranks the divis.
ion was more marked, lS Democratic
members voting for it. The vote in
support was made up of 179 Republic
ans, IL Democrats, 8 Populists and A
fusionists.
The days session began at 10 o'clock
and debate continued for seven hours.
Notable speeches were made by Messrs.
Berry (Dem., Ky.), w. A. Smith (Rep.
Mich.) and Hepburn (Rep, la. for,
and by Messrs. Johnson (Rep., Ind.)
and Williams (Dem., Miss.)
Against the Pending Measure.
Few members were upon the floor un.
til late in the afternoon and the CALLER.
les had few occupants. As the hour
for voting drew near, however, mem.
bers began taking their places and
there were few more than score of
absentees when the first roll call was
taken. The announcement of the vote
upon the passage of the resolutions was
cheered upon the floor and applauded
generally by the spectators. The reso-
lutions adopted, in a preamble, relate
to the offer of the Hawaiian republic to
cede all Of its sovereignty and absolute
title to the government and crown
lands, and then by resolution accepts
the cession and declares the islands an.
nexed. The resolutions
Provide for Com omission of Five,
at least two of whom shall be resident
Hawaiians, to commend to congress
such Legislation as they deem advis-
able. The public debt of Hawaii, not
to exceed $4,000, 900, is assumed; Chi.
nese immigration is prohibited; all
treaties with other powers are declared
null pending the time congress shall
provide for the government Of the isl.
ands; all civil, judicial and military
powers now exercised by the authori.
ties Of the government Of the islands
shall be exercised in such manner as
the president shall direct, and he is
given power to appoint persons to put
