Important That They Be Taken In : Before Their Seizure by the :. Powers for Coaling or

SEATTLE, July 31-On the d@y that the news of annexation was received in Honolulu an expedition, authorized by the. Hawaiian Republic, started on a 1700 mile voyage to annex two islands to the. Hawaiian group. The islands in question. are Eyer. and Morell, about 100 miles apart and noted in the latest charts as position doubtful.
 : Either: or both may prove valuable for guano beds or cable landings and thus the importance of the expedition is increased. The. .Inter-Island Com pany,s steamer Waialeale; one of the regular passenger boats of the group, was taken off her run to carry the Ha- waiianA commissioner in search or the .neW. islands. Senator George N. Will cox. is the accredited representative of the Government and will carry out the ceremonies of. annexation.
 The Waialeale left Honolulu a few hours before the Pacific Mall steamer Coptic arrived from San Francisco with the news that Hawaii had been made a part and parcel of the United States, consequently Commissioner; Wilcox will not know the republic. he is represent ing no longer exists: The islands may not be found at all, but a reasonable length Of time will be spent in search ing for them. An outline of the correct : official procedure for annexation was prepared and given to Wilcox When he comes. to the islands he will go ashore, read the, proclamation, plant his flag, erect loose stone monuments and leave papers :encased in a.copper box. E: ,Byer and, Morell Islands are the only ones in the Honolulu, chain on which the flag. has never been raised. It is important that they be secured to pre- vent one of the powers seizing them as a .coaling: station or for a cable land ing. Eyer Island is 1900 miles from the islanf of Oahu. It is also called Patro cino and believed by many to have been named by the Spanish. Morell Island is TOO miles from Oahu.

SKATER GIVES HIS ... MEN GOOD NEWS
Sick Soldiers Notified That They Will Soon Be Transferred to
 A Montauk Point

WASHINGTON, July .31-Secretary Al ger is hastening the preparations at Mon tauk Point for the reception of. the Filth Army Corps now at Santiago.
 Surgeon General Sternberg has just dis patched Colonel F'orwood of his bureau to the site of the camp with instructions to erect at once a hospital capable of accom- modating no less than 500 soldiers. Gen eral Shafter has been authorized by ca blegram from Secretary Alger to notify his soldiers of the good fortune in store for them in order that the men may be cheered up to wait with patience for their removal. This cannot be effected imme- diately owing to the condition of the men themselves The present plan is to begin as soon as possible the transportation to Montauk Point of such of the soldiers as have recovered from the fever and those who have not yet contracted it. The sick must wait, for the physicians say that the climatic change involved in bringing them North would prove fatal in many cases But the delay is not likely to be extended Surgeon General Sternberg says that con valescence in a fever of type as mild as that at Santiago does not usually occupy more than ten days, although as the sea- son runs on and the virulence increases this period is greatly extended
 As soon as that period is passed the men will be embarked for home. The mat ter of transports for this work is already under consideration and is likely to be ad- justed very satisfactorily. The Navy De- partment has concluded that it can dis pense with the four big American line steamers former I,3 Bnown "a as pt the he New I the War Department has begun negotia- tions for chartering them.

On Saturday evening grave symptoms appeared Death came easily and painlessly and Dr. Schweninger was able to some ex- tent to tighten the last moments, wip- ing the nucus from the patients mouth and enabling him to breathe more freely.

 They mistook liberty for license and were crazed with a thirst for revenge.
 General Wilson, however, soon taught that revenge could not be wreaked un- der the protection of our flag and per emptorily ordered that the arrest of Spanish suspects should cease.

 General Miles will retain his head quarters at the custom house at the port of Ponce, while General Wilson will be in immediate command of the troops in the city.

 Captain Allison has been appointed
 
 the local constabuary has preserved excellent order, although most of the entire population of the city remained in the streets celebrating the arrival of their American liberators until long after midnight
 During the night all sorts of wild rumors were brought into General Will son. The first was that the Spanish were to attack the city in force

Ihls report, however, soon gave away to rumors that the Spanish were re- treating. putting entire villages. plan tatlon buildings and houses to the torch, murdering and ravaging as they went.

Hoke Smiths Paper Recommends Further Honors for the Hero

NEW YORK, July 31.-An Atlanta. Ga, special to the Herald says: The Atlanta Journal ex-Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smiths paper. recommends the ap- pointment of Lieutenant Richmond P. Hobson as commander of the new bat tleship Alabama It says editorially: Ut is not only good policy, but 1t is only just and right the Government should put a premium on such splendid daring for our country's cause as that of Hobson. To leave his splendid deed unrewarded would be unworthy of the nation for which he was so ready to sacrifice his life. We are building a great battleship, which has been named for Hobsons na- tive State. He is worthy and in every way qualified to command it. To make Hobson captain of the Alabama would be to perform an act of perfect justice and give substantial reward to a young man whose name has been written among those of the famous heroes of the Ameri- can navy. No better recognition of Hob sons heroic conduct could be given"
