STILL PLAYING foxy
But Blanco's Little Tricks Are Too
Apparent


KEY WEST, June II, $50 am.-An aux
iliary gunboat which arrived here this
morning from off Havana reports that all
is quiet along the blockade line. Small
gunboats of the enemy still make efforts to
lure some of the American ships within
range Of the batteries, but barring an oc-
casional exchange of shots which did no
damage on either side, nothing of conse-
quence has lately occurred.
The gunboat which has been on the Ha-
vana blockade for three weeks past, had on
board Major Prado and two aides from
Col. Rojas' insurgent forces. They were
the bearers of important dispatches for
the Cuban leaders in the United States.
Major Prado and his companions left the
interior of Matanzas province on June
4th and made their way through the
swamps to the coast near Cardenas. They

coast between Matanzas and Cardenas,

The Cuban forces, Major Prado says,

same territory. Both sides are reported to

Hawaiian Matter Settled in Fifteen
Minutes-Discussion of Report

Associated Press Special Wire

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Only about
fifteen minutes time was consumed by the
senate foreign relations committee today in
reaching a conclusion to report the resolu-
lions for the acquisition of the Hawaiian
Islands by the United States. Only two
OF the Democratic members, Messrs. Tur-
pie and Mills, were present at the meeting,
and they contented themselves by record
ing their votes in opposition to the report
faverabiy, showing no disposition to delay
action by the committee. The Republicans
voted in the negative and Senator Davis
stated he was authorized to cast the vote
of Senator Morgan (Dem.) of Alabama in
the affirmative. The fact developed that
while the resolution first received the sanc-
ton of the house, it was prepared by Sen
ator Davis and no disposition was mani
tested to change it in any respect.
II is already becoming evident that the
reported understanding among the men,
bers of the finance committee reached dur
ing the pending of the war revenue bill, to
the effect that the Hawaiian resolution
should not come up for consideration dur
ing the present congress, will cut an i'm
