out today by a naval officer that Ad-
miral Sampson, since the arrival of the
marine battalion on the Panther, has al
his disposal what he may regard as a
SuInclent force OF men to capture Jan
tiago, even before the troops arrive
! The 500 marines on the Panther. added
to the marines already with the fleet
would make total of about 1,500 men.
Without impairing the efficiency of his
ships, Admiral Sampson could spare
1000 bluejackets for a landing party,
and with this total force of $500, if the
insurgents who have been armed by
the United States government do their
share, it seems possible for Sampson
TO capture Santiago at short notice.
There seems to be a very decided air
of expectation this afternoon among
the officials who are acquainted with
the government plan in the campaign,
that almost warranted a conclusion
that an engagement of some kind was
expected today.
Naval officers are confident that with
his small, but well disciplined landing
force, Admiral Sampson will be able i'm
mediately to take possession of such
points in the neighborhood of Santiago as
he may deem necessary. to serve as a
base for the occupation of the regular
United States troops, when they arrive.
With the marines in possession of the
beach and the American warships with
their shells clearing the country behind,
there will be little danger in effecting the
landing of the troops. Though no Off
cial confirmation has yet reached the
navy department of the newspaper reports
that came from SIMPSONS fleet to the
effect that he landed marines at Caimar-
ena, and that they are still in possession
of strategic stronghold on the hills
near by, the naval officers here are in
clined to accept as accurate the reports
They feel a pride in the fact that the
navy through it's marine adjunct has
earned the distinction of having been the
first to occupy territory in Cuba
The marines who effected this notable
feat were drawn, it is believed, from the
whole fleet, and were perfectly capable
and disciplined troops.

FORT HALL LAND TREATY.
ANNEXATION MESSAGE.
Mckinley May Make Another Appeal
to Congress

Washington, June 9-The president
has in contemplation. according to a
senator who was in consultation with
him today, the submission of special
message to the two houses of congress,
calling for the immediate annexation of
Hawaii as military necessity. Ac
cording to this senator, the message
will be delayed for a few days to await
action that may be taken by Speaker
Reed and the committee on rules, but
it is very likely to go in early next
week.
The purport of the message is a spe-
cial plea for favorable action, calling
attention to the strategic importance
of the islands, the great advantage
that. would accrue in the present war
situation through securing them, and
points in the Hawaiian policy already
we'll known.

Washington, June 9.-The Teller
claims bill, which passed the senate this
afternoon, carried with it the claims of
Utah corporations, firms and individ-
uals for assessments illegally made
against them by the commissioner of
internal revenue in 1878 and 1879. This
was a 10 per cent tax on notes used for
circulation. This tax was afterwards
held illegal by the United States su-
preme court. There are Sc of these
claimants in Utah, and the claims al
lowed aggregate something like $4,000
in round numbers.
The bill to pay these claims was in
troduced by Senator Rawlins, and it is
due to his efforts that the paragraph
was inserted in the general claims bill.
1t is probable that the bill will pass the
house at the second session of this
congress

STATE LAND DECISION.
The secretary of the interior today
decided the contest between the Cleo
patra Lode claim and the state of Utah
The Cleopatra is located in one of the
16 sections granted to the state for
school lands, under the act of admis-
sion The land in question was known
to be mineral in character at the date
of the states admission. The mineral
claimants cOntended that all lands
known to be mineral when the state
came into the Union were excepted
from the school grant, and reserved ex-
clusively for disposal under the mining
laws, While the state cOntended that
its grant included all public lands,
whether known to be habitable for min
ers or otherwise.
The secretary's opinion, after citing
various decisions by the supreme court
of the United States and the interior
department, holds that all public ENDS
known to be valuable for their minerals
at the date of the admission of the
state into the Union, are not subject to
selection under the [hOOl grant, bur
are reserved for DISPOSITION under the
mining laws. This is a case in which
Utah people in Washington are taki2g
