Gift to n Medical College

From the New York Evening Post.
 Announcement is made that Colonel Oli- yer H. Payne has just given s1.5O0,0OO to the Cornell University Medical college, in this city. Plans for building to cost $50o, 900 are being made by KcKim, Mead & White the architects, and work on the structure is to be begun within thirty days The plot of land which has been purchased is the entire block on the west side of First ave nue, between Twenty-seventh and Twenty eighth streets, and the building, which will cover the plot, will be five stories in height. The million and a half goes for the pur- chase of the land, the erection of the build ing, and a liberal endowment. It is expected that the new building will be ready for occupancy by October 1899.
 The condition which has made the estab- lishment of this college possible arose from the controversy which ragged year ago in the council of the University of the City of New York over the treatment of its medical department Colonel Payne. it will be re- mcinbered, gave $150,000, which benefited the medical department of the New York uni versity, six years ago. The money was given to satisfy mortgages on the medical tcollt ge laboratory and to cancel certificates 
 governing faculty. The title thereafter stood in the name of the medical college ivded in the Sage College for Womem and the last half in New York. The faculty. headed by President J. G. Schurman, of Cornell, is composed of the following men: William M. Polk, M. D., LID; Lewis A. Stimson, M.D. Rudolph A. Witthaus, MD.; w. Gilman Thompson, MD.; George Wool sey, M D.; Henry P. Loomis, M.D.; J. Cliff ton Edgar MD; Austin Flint, M D.; Fred eric s. Dennis M.D.; Frederick w. Gwyer, M. D.. Irving s. Haynes, M. D. There is be- sides long list of clinical professors, in- sructors, and others.
 laboratory, free and unencumbered. In 1887 the property of the medical college laboratory was conveyed to the New York university. Differences of opinion soon arose between Chancellor MacCracken of the university and the medical faculty. The dispute, which was fully described in this 'IicyysPaper at the tliie, resulted In the res ignation not only of nearly all of the mem bers of the faculty, but also of several prominent members of the council or the diversity who disagreed with the position taken by the chancellor. Among these were Colonel Payne and John Clafiin. Co., lonel Payne heartily supported the medical faculty all through the discussion, taking the ground that they represented the side of fair dealing.
 It is expected that the college will be one of the most complete of its kind in the world. The full four-year course of the Cornell University Medical college is given in the city of New York and the course of the first two years is also given in Ithaca Men students may take half the course in Ithaca and the other half in New York, or the entire course in New York; women students must take the first half or the course in Ithaca (wher home is pro-

A TEST VOTE
On The Hawaiian Annexation, Had in
the Senate Yesterday, Shows Big
Majority for It.

Washington, June 20.-Discussion by
the Senate of the question of the Ha-
waiian annexation was begun to-day in
open session. There was a test of
strength afforded the friends of annex
alton late this afternoon when Mr.
White, who is opposed to the resolution,
moved that the Senate adjourn. Mr.
Davis. chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, Immediately de-
manded the yeas and nays. The mo-
ton. the vote upon which was test OF
strength between the friends and OPP
ponents of annexation, was defeated de-
cisively, A to Is. Having gained his
point in developing the numerical weak
ness of the opposition, Mr. Davis read
lily agreed to enter motion for an ex-
ecutive session.
The proceedings of the day indicate
that there is to be no debate upon the
Hawaiian question in the ordinary ac-
ceptance Of that term. 1t is not the
purpose of the friends of annexation to
consume time in making speeches. They
will permit the opponents of the project
to occupy all of the time. This plan of
campaign is not satisfactory to the lat
ter and during the session to-day con-
siderable bitterness was manifested at
times. The speakers to-day were
Messrs. Morrell. the venerable Senator
from Vermont, and one Of the Republi-
can opponents of annexation. and Mr..
Bacon Dem, Georgia.. Mr.. Morrill,
discussed the general question. while
Mr.. Bacon discussed the power of Con-
gress to annex territory by legislative
act, maintaining that such annexation
was unconstitutional

transition from darkness to clear day
light coming in few minutes. It was
shortly after o'clock that this change
came, disclosing the Spanish ships lying
eight miles off. The American sailors
watched the hurry and confusion on
board of the Spanish ships as they pre-
pared to defend themselves.
They were practically helpless, as the
fires were banked, and beyond clearing
the deck for action and getting the men
to quarters they could not be moved.
Meantime the Olympia had led the way,
and the American ships were in line of
battle for their first broadsides. Evans
remained at the ammunition cases, serv-
ing shot and shell as fast as needed The
men at the guns had stripped to the
waist, keeping on only their trousers
and shoes. There was not a breath of
air stirring, and aside from the intense
tropical heat there was the heat CT ac-
ton and of excitement
When Evans left the Boston on May
s. the wrecks of the Spanish ships were
plainly visible, dotting the water of
Baker bay and the outer harbor Only
shattered portions of their upper works
were left. for terrible havoc had been
wrought by the American guns and by
the fires which followed on the Span
ish ships. The wooden ships had been
burned outright, upper works and all,
while the better class Of steel ships had
their SIDES blown out and their upper
works riddled. Evans says the Span
ish fleet was not such lame and help
less aggregation as the people believe.
The Castillo and Duaro were the worst
Of the lot. being old boats, but the for
guns on her. The two Islas the Reina
Christina, the Donna Antonio and the
Austuria were all good ships, with rapid
fire batteries and heavy modern guns.
But they were taken completely I'M
aware, were unable to move and were
literally blown to pieces before they
had an opportunity to get into the ac-
ton.
The British cruiser Linnet had ar
rived at Manila before Kindleberger
and Evans left. AS they came out OF
the bay a big French cruiser and an
other british ship, the Immortallte,
were entering. The American officers
and men were naturally elated over
their victory, and no fears were enter
tanned that it's results would be over
cone by any subsequent development:
The health Of the men was good and
the heat not particularly trying, as they
were used to this service. About the
worst difficulty was to secure fresh
meat and vegetables on board the ships,
for the Spaniards in and about Manila
and the insurgents surrounding the
place. ate up every available pound of
fresh food. Admiral Dewey had an
abundance of regular ships rations and
was hopeful of getting fresh food be-
fore long.

HOW ABOUT TIE NATIVES :?

In advocating annexation of Hawaii
Grosvenor, of Ohio, denied that the
natives of Hawaii were ignorant or
barbarous, or that these intelligent
people We're opposed to annexation.
If Grosvenor is right in his estimate
of the Hawaiian natives, it remains to
be told, if they are not ignorant and
barbarous, and are not opposed to an
neXation, why they are disfranchised?
Why does the Dole government, which
was created to promote annexation
and has labored and intrigued incess-
antly to bring ii about, refuse to give
these intelligent natives an opportunity
to say that they are in favor of annex
alton? Why did not Grosvenor and

SPANS UNCIVILIZEU WARFARE

The worst news we have received
yet is that which comes from Com
modore Watson, who states that Blanco
says the Madrid government refuses to
exchange Hobson and his little band
of heroes
We had hoped there was some mis-
take here, but it is evident that Spain
has actually assumed this uncivilized
attitude, which involves the confession
that she places no value on her own
soldiers and sailors who have been cap
tured by us, and that she intends to
use these American heroes for the cow
ardly purpose of protecting her for
tresses from our guns by imprisoning
than where they would be killed in a
bcmbardment by our ships as in MORO
at Santiago, which is the only reason
Sampson left that castle standing.
This is enc more act which places
Spain outside the pale of civilization in
warfare. Spain should hereafter be
treated as the barbarous nation II really
is. In fact in the case of Spain it is
worse than barbarism because the bar
barians know no better.

A WAR FOURTH.

Two weeks from yesterday we shall
experience a wartime Fourth of .Julv
1t Will be a novelty and more signif-
cant than any other Fourth and it will
be heard around the world.
Even before the peep of day on orr
own continent there will be a mighty
observance of it on the other side of
the earth. Soldiers of the United States
will assist Dewey's gallant tars in open
ing wide the eyes of the natives and the
subdued subjects of His Majesty, King
Alfonso XIII, of Spain. to the WAYS Of
free America. The Declaration of In
dependence will be read in the bay of
Manila-maybe in the town. for the
double benefit of the Spaniards and the
insurgents who have been fighting for
their independence.
And who knows but if the army hur-
ries itself the people of Santiago de
Cuba may be entertained by fireworks?
And-stranger things have happened
events may so hurry along that the pic
ture Of George Washington in red. white
and blue fireworks may be set off be-
fore the gaping eyes of the hungry peo-
pie in Havana
All who object to noise and fury
would better retire to the cellar and
stay there during the coming glorious
Fourth. for patriotic Young America Is
going to make itself heard.
