HAWAII MAY BE OURS
INDICATIONS THAT THE SENATE WILL
APPROVE THE TREATY.

Chairman Davis to Call TIP the Annexa-
tion Question Next Sonday-CongresA
Again In session-Ctvii service Under
Discussion.
Washington, Jan. 6.-Senators who IA
vor the annexation of Hawaii are en-
Outraged to believe that the prospects
for ratification of the annexation treaty
are improved They are not convinced
that there is even yet two-thirds ma
jority for the treaty, but are stimulated
to further effort in that direction.
This change in the outlook from one
of almost hopelessness to the possibility
at least of success is due, they think,
to the recent events in the Orient. One
OF the most cogent reasons advanced
for the annexation of Hawaii has been
the desirakility Of the islands as milf
tary and commercial outpost of the
United States in the Pacific.
The eneroachments of European pow
ers in the east and the threatened dan
ger to American commercial interests
have served to quicken the realization
of senators of the claims put forward
in behalf of annexation. Senators are
beginning to see the practical side of
the case, and the advantages of annexa-
ton are presented to them in a way to
attract attention and demand serious
consideration.
Senator Davis chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations. who has the
treaty in charge, announced that he
would call it up in executive session
next Monday and pushdts consideration
daily until decisive action is taken.

IN THE FRONT RANK.

Governor Griggs, the next Attorney
General, is one of the few representatives
of New Jersey to be honored with a
place in tie Presidents Cabinet. Indeed,
New Jersey, though one of the original
states and q chief battle-ground of the
patriot forces and their English opponents
during the Revolutionary war, has Ger
tainly been lightly regarded in the dis
tribution of Cabinet posts heretofore. if
not Disseminated against. Mr.. Freling-
huysen was Secretary of State in General
Arthur's Cabinet, but until that time no
Jerseyman had held the post. There has
never been New Jersey Secretary of
the Treasury, or New Jersey Secretary
of War, or New Jersey Postmaster
General. There have, however, been
three New Jersey Secretaries of the
Navy. and there is now New Jersey
Vice President. Since New Jersey
ceased to be Democratic and became a
Republican state, it has been coming to

A FEW disgruntled Republicans in
Ohio, it is evident, have entered into
collision with John R. Mclean and
other Silver Democrats and are doing
everything possible to prevent the re-
election of Senator Hanna. 1t is to be
hoped that the disgruntled Republicans
will not make possible the election of a
Bryanite to the United States Senate
simply because of personal spite or from
mercenary motives.

GREAT SPANISH VICTORY.
Laughable Account of the Sinking OF
the Merrimac

LduSnaD Die Account OF the Blinking OF
the Merrimac.
Madrid, June 4, 2 p. m.-The minister
of marine, Captain Aunon, went to the
palace at noon today and read to the
queen regent an official dispatch on
the subject of the recent fight at San
tiago de Cuba, the text OF which is as
follows:
AT o'clock on Friday morning one
Of the enelny's large cruisers and an
auxiliary cruiser attempted to force
an entrance into the harbor of Santi-
ago de Cuba. They surprised the
scouts guarding the entrance, but not
the artillery of Fort MORO. The guns
of the cruiser Reina Mercedes, a bat
terry from the Reina Mercedes which
had been placed in the Socapa fort, a
torpedo boat destroyer and torpedo
boat opened fire on the enemy
THE auxiliary cruiser, the Merrimac,
was sunk by our vessels and torpedoes,
and the large American cruiser was
repulsed at the entrance to the chan
mel. The Reina Mercedes captured
one lieutenant and seven sailors of the
Merrimac. The fate of the rest of the
crew is not known"
The official dispatch adds that 20
American ships are before Santiago de
Cuba. The queen regent, it is an
sage of congratulation be telegraphed
to the defenders of Santiago de Cuba.
p. m.-The minister of marine,
later in the day, said that the wreck
of the Merrimac would not interfere
with navigation at the entrance of the
harbor, and he added that the coal
on board the Merrimac could be re-
covered and used by the Spaniards.
In the chamber of deputies today
laad
congratulated the government on the
good news from Santiago de Cuba, -
and Senior Salmeron, the Republican
leader, proposed that the congratula-
lions of the house be sent to the Span
ish naval and military leaders in Cuba.
The motion was carried.
Madrid, June 4.-Great enthusiasm
prevails in the city over the Spanish
reports of the recent engagement at
Santiago.
Premier Sagasta and Captain Aunon,
the minister of marine, on leaving the
Palace, after informing the queen reg
ent of the affair, told the representa-
tives of the newspapers that the object
of the Americans was not to force, but
to block the entrance to the channel
Admiral Cervera, they alleged was
aware of the intentions of the Ameri-
cans, and ordered part of his squadron
outside to defend the entrance.
The official dispatch from Santiago
also said that when the Merrimac sank
Admiral Cervera, who was on board a
Spanish warship near by, entered a
small boat and personally saved the
survivors, who were swimming in the
water
The people of Madrid consider San
tiago impregnable, basing their belief
on the fact that the defenses of that
place were constructed by the cele-

A BOLD ACHIEVEMENT.
Speedy Release and Promotion For
the Merrimac Heroes.

Washington, June 4.-From early
morning, when the first newspaper ap-
peared On the street containing the
brief statement of the sinking of the
Merrimac in Santiago harbor, the Off
Gals of the navy department awaited
with intense interest official confirma-
ton and explanation of Admiral Samp-
son. In the afternoon the story came.
lacking in detail, it is true, giving in
rough outlines a sketch of American
heroism that will live through genera
lions to come. There is no doubt that
the name Hobson is destined to be
bracketed with that of Cushing among
Americas naval heroes and indeed, it
was the opinion of the majority of Off
GERS who scanned the Associated Press
account of the sinking of the Merri-
mac that the exploit in brilliancy as an
exhibition Of cool daring even Cushing's
famous attack upon the Albermarle.
Reward sure is awaiting-these Ameri-
can heroes and Acting Secretary Allen
has so pledged himself after consulta-
ton with Secretary Long, who is still
confined to his room by a lame leg
Promotion and medals are the least
that they can expect at the hands of a
grateful people.
Moreover they will not languish long
in a Spanish prison if the authorities
here can bring about their release, for
half an hour after Simpsons bulletin
was displayed on the walls of the navy
department, Colonel Carter, assistant
adjutant general, had taken the pre-
liminary steps to arrange for an ex-
change of prisoners and was learning
just how many Spanish officers and en-
listed men were still held in captivity
at Fort Mcpherson, Ca, where they
had been taken from the prizes cap

cent, it returns only L or Is per cent.
AS regards its buying, gold exchange
has gone down, and if, instead of buy
ing four hundred millions, it issued
five hundred millions, paying 600 or 700
inasmuch as the state subscribes
at the rate of per cent, and would rep
resent to the bank an interest of about
Ter cent, and its dividend would have
gone down very little. The bank is the
nation. and with the nation it has
grown rich by offering paper money
which it did not have in its treasury,
ard by getting interest on that which it
really never had given out
But, whatever the bank does, no
body dares object, except those who
have no money in their pants if they
should call for it.
81 have written to the minister, but I
did not give him so much news of the
things to speak of. If you should see
him, you might give him some news.
We shall see him when they relieve me
and send some one here to work, and

anxiety for Francisco and the rest, an
anxiety that we share. Their terrible
ships do not go as fast as ours by per-
haps two and a. half miles. AS for the
monitors, they do not count for much ::
they can be used only to lombard in
a smooth sea, and. besides, cannot go
fast, and carry very little coal. They

Further news received here from Santiago

o'clock yesterday morning. After the
action the Spaniards blew UP with dyna-
