 He declared the population of the islands was undesirable, and its entry as an eie- ment in our citizenship likely to bring in- jury to the social and governmental estab- lishments of this country.
 "The, jingo bacillus" he declared, lis indefatigable in It's work" and proceeding he said the proposed annexation of Hawaii would be the entering wedge to policy that would not end until the American territorial enlargement had gone to the ex- tent of including the earth"
 Concluding his speech, Mir. Clark spoke of the resulting representation of Hawaii in the senate and the house and the attend ant danger. He attacked further the proposition to annex on the ground that the republic of Hawaii was the result of a conspiracy upon the part of the sugar in- terests in the island.
 That the people of the islands had been shut out from expressing their desire was shown he said, by the decrease of suffrage 4,000 under the monarchy to 2,SO0 under the republic.
 Let there be plebscite," declared MT. Clark, "and let those people exercise the right which is theirs to say how they shall be governed"

INVADING ARMY
 HAS EMBARKED

Tampa, Fla, June 1.-The army of in- vasion has now embarked on large fleet of swift transports.
 The first official notification that the time for movement had arrived came in a gen. eral order post on May 31 The embarka- tion assumed definite shape on Monday aft ernoon, June 6, when the first United States infantry, General Shafters old command, was given the honor of embarklng nrst. As the regiment marched down the long pier at Port Tampa, with their band play ing. they caused the most intense entnusa- asm.
 During the balance of that afternoon and until daylight next morning the movement was resumed with the utmost vigor. All day Tuesday the wharves were moving mass of excited humanity. Late Tn the afternoon every commanding ohcer was ordered to get his regiment In readiness for immediate movement and soon after- ward word was sent out to send the troops aboard the transports as rapidly as possi- ble. Trains of coaches and cars of all descriptions were placed on sidings near the various camps and baggage, arms ana ammunition were hurried on board.
 On Tuesday evening about o'clock Lieu tenant Miley, who was in the hotel tele- graph office with General Miles, was seen to rush into the hall toward General Shafter's apartments. Immediately the two returned rapidly to the telegraph office. The regular operator was evicted from the office. the doors were closed and Captain J. B. Brady the censor, took the key General Miles and General Shafter were then placed in direct communication With the war department, and half hours con ference ensued The termination Of tnis re- suited in hurried whispered conference among the lesser officials. followed by wave of excitement. "The army of in- vasion must immediately depart was the word.
 From the comparative calm of few minutes before the scene was changed 10 one of action. Scurrying feet hurried the order from room to room, while horses flocked with foamspeed from camp to camp, special trains were hurriedly coupled and baggage piled aboard. All during the night the feverish rush continued.

The Need of the Hour

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 What the country needs is better moral treatment for yellow fever The people need to be taught that the appearance of fever in community does not repeal the constitution and laws, or destroy the duties of Christianity, or silence the ordinary dictates of humanity. They need to be taught that the fever in itself Is not as dangerous as typhoid fever, or scarlet fever, and that the percentage of cases or mortality to inhabitants should make it less dreaded than some other diseases, which communities face without losing their common sense or their courage.
 We need to do away with the barbarous yellow flags, which frighten and harm the sick, without adding anything to the pro- lection of the well. We need to abandon silly quarantines against whole commun1- ties and states rumors, and foolish edicts which keep out provisions and other necessities, even from infected places, which all experience shows can not trans- port the yellow fever poison, It there Is such thing distinct from a person suffer- ing with the disease. We need to educate the people against the foolish superstition that fever can be taken byfsitting beside a well man, or transmitted by his clothing or contact with his person. if he has been in an infected place. We need to stop the barbarous and nasty burial of those who die of fever, which so-called modern science teaches Is a means of safety, and the shocking prohibition of attendance of friends and neighbors. We need to teach the people that epidemics are as much a part of life as health itself, and that calm ness and fortitude greatly mitigate their evils Our fathers set us an example, and we should follow it, if necessity arises In the future. The disease can not spread and does not spread in the country. Healthy regions, as in the days of yore, should open their doors. We should help one another. Selfishness and cowardice should give place to reason and common sense. Men should be men, and Christians should be Christians at such times. Re- ligion and the duties it teaches should not be abandoned Cowardice should be con- sidered as detestible in times of epidemics as in times of battle. The state, in the name of health, should not war on defense less women and children, and condemn them to remain with the fever, if they can- not go beyond the limits of Alabama Past experience has proved that it is foolish as we'll as lawless and inhuman. If those in authority will set an example Of courage and calmness, and exercise common sense, and sensible precautions only are taken, the great probability is that we will have neither the fever, nor the worse evils or foolish, barbarous and cowardly measures to preyent it. s.lss5--

His cred itors, 1t is said, will not get 15 per cent. His last operation was to attempt to float the Chinese loan of which so much was said in diplomatic circles, because it was brought forward when the complications in the east with Russia gave 1t a national in- terest apart from the financial importance. Later on he was the agent of a loan to be made to Spain. This lends the last link of local importance to the story of the plunger. It was unsuccessful.

DISASTROUS FLOOD IN
 SOUTHWEST MEXICO

Mexico City, June 11.-Several lives were lost in a flood that poured down from the mountains in the southwestern part of Mexico yesterday evening. An immense water spout was seen lowering over the hills north of the volcano of Ajusco, and when it burst it swept the country and the mountain village of Santa Lucia. doing much damage and filling all the ravines and water courses. The waters swept on down itno the suburban town of Mixcoach, flooding all the lower part of that village and drowning several men, women and children. A brave officer saw the flood coming and ran at the top of his speed, warning the inhabitants to flee for their lives. He rescued many women and child- ren floating in the turbulent waters.
 Indications of semi-activity are noted in the volcanoes at Poacatep, which frequent ly occur at times of seismic activity in this part of the country.

SEVEN CASES
 OF YELLOW FEVER
The Fever at McHenry

From the Mobile Register
 The news of yellow fever at McHenry Miss, has been preceded by the usual ru- mors, which were not thought to have any basis. Rumors of fever are current all through the warm season. It turns out, however, that this time the rumor has been confirmed. There are seven cases of the fever at McHenry, a small communi- ty in Harrison county, near Biloxi. There was some fever at that place last year, and possibly the present outbreak is sur- vival. We do not know how long the cases there have been under suspicion, nor what precautions were taken prior to yes- terday, when the state health officers es- tablished quarantine around the place, Much depends upon what has been done to prevent the spread of the disease It is possible that a rigid quarantine may con- fine 1t to the place where it has now first ance of fever on this coast has been that two epidemcs have not come consecu- lively. The disease itself has reappeared aftr an epidemic, but whther for lack of available material to feed upon or on &C., count of unfavorable climatic con ditions, it has usually died out, without extending itself to neighboring places, and without causing great mortality in any one place. Therefore. while regarding the situation as serious, we are not without strong hope that the fever in McIenry will be stamped out at once and that its spread will be pre- vented.

No Cause for Alarm From the Mobile Item.


 According to an official statement is- sued by authority of the Mississippi state board of health yellow fever has made its appearance at a little town called McHenry on the line of the Gulf and Ship Island railroad. Seven cases are reported and are cited by Surgeon Murray, whom the Item considers one of the best yellow fever experts in the country-Guiteras not ex- cepted-as being of a very mild character Surgeon Murray wires that the cases have been isolated and that there Is really no cause for alarm. McHenry is a small lum- Der town, the population being composed largely of northerners, and 1t Is said that they take absolutely no sanitary precau- tions whatever and allow their places to become veritable pig sty and breeding places for disease. germs. New Orleans has acted in the matter and proclaimed quarantine against every town on the coast, so wires the New Orleans Picayune In the light of present events this appears a rather harsh measure.
 Mobile has taken precautions not so radical as it's sister city and it fully pro- tects us from an invasion. The Item has implicit confidence in Acting State Health Officer Goode and the board of health. Everything possible will be done, and done quickly and well, to protect them and their interests in a matter of such moment. We do not believe the fever will reach Mobile, this city being approximately healthy at the present writing, and an steps being taken to keep it out, and we ask the peo- pie to take the matter quietly and not lose their heads McHcnry.
