TO relieve the government of financial la
pllity Tor the loss Of the merchantmen in
case 1t Is shown that the cruiser was not
at fault In the matter. The MASTER off,
GERS and men OF the Foscolia will be ex-
amined by the naval court, and an effort
Will be made to fix the amount Of damages
sustained by both vessels
The Columbia has been placed In dry
dock at the New York navy yard and will
be repaired as rapidly as possible. as there
is great need Of her services In the prose-
cution of the war with Spain. The injury
to the Columbia consists Of q large rent in
her starboard side Just forward Of the
sponsor of the after finch rap.d-fire gum
extending five feet below the normal water
line. 1t appears that the cruiser had a mar
row escape from destruction. The bows Of
the Foscolia knocked a tube containing a
live Whitehead torpedo from its stand
and SO twisted the incasing cylinder that
the torpedo remained stuck fast. There
was a war head fixed to the torpedo. and
mad this cap been struck fairly 500 pounds
OF suncotton would have exploded. In which
event the Columbia would probably have
oeen wrecked. The hole in the side of the
cruiser Is about ten feet wide at the top
ana the opinion OF experts is that the pro-
tectiVe deck was the only thing that saved
the ship from being sunk. The plates Of
the cruiser were found to be Of excellent
material Although twisted and bent, there
was an absence Of breaks in the metal. The
plates OF the Foscolia, some Of which were
left within the hole she made, displayed
cracks and granulations that indicated in
rer1or material. 1t is hoped that the Co.
iumoia Will be repaired inside Of ten days
or two weeks.
Once before has the Columbia sunk a
merchant ship. Four years ago she COL
Hded with the Wyanoke, a side-wheel
steamer Of the Old Dominion line, sinking
her Off Old Point Comfort. Not long after
her launching, in 1892, she scraped the
bed of the Delaware river. bending some Of
her plates. After the Wyanoke collision
the Columbia was repaired at the Norfolk
navy yard. Later she was run down by the
steamship Wyandotte, suffering serious
damage.

I 0 ANNEX HAWAII
The President Talks on the Subject
With His Callers.
BELIEF THAT ACTION WILL Be HAD
Necessity of Possessing the Islands
Now imperative.
SUGGESTED POSS SIONs

President Mckinley has not abandoned
fore 1t adjourns. He has not ceased quiet
and telling work with friends in the nation
al legislature to have something done.
Prior TO the cabinet meeting this morning
he chatted with number Of his callers,
renewing his expressions of hope that Ha.
wall Will become part Of the domain of
Uncle Sam before Congress finishes fits
work for this session.
Senator Elkins was one OF the men who
talked with the President IT am willing
TO stay here until black frost comes 70 see
Hawaii annexed" the senator told the
PRESIDENT, with that earnestness which
characterizes him In all his undertakings.
Senators Frye and Lodge. also earnest
advocates OF annexation, were among the
PRESIDENTS visitors. and to each the chief
executive spoke OF the imperative necessity
OF action by Congress
1t cannot be said that the President has
In his mind "a dream OF empire" for the
United States as a result of the war with
Spain, but 1t IL said by close friends that
there Is dawning upon him the fact that
the opportunity for extending the great
commercial interests OF the United States
Is one which may not come again In an
other century. and which, If passed now,
may be regretted.
Effect of Hawaiian Annexation.
The annexation of the Hawaiian Islands
is ono step in a direction which the Presi-
dent believes Will be satisfactory to the
entire country. This step taken, there will
be advocates OF the permanent possession
OF the Philippines, or at least OF SO much
OF the islands as may insure to the United
States coaling and trading facilities in
Asia Stretching from the orient to the
great western hemisphere will be the Gag
OF Uncle Sam, with cable lines connecting
all he owns. and with hundreds OF busy
merchant ships plodding the waters OF the
Pacific carrying the things made and
grown here. This is the imaginary picture
affecting that side OF the earth and being
presented to the President by active and
vigorous minds.
More Suggested Posscssfons.
Then there Is another picture which has
been set before him and many others. This
is the limited possession of Cuba. the full
possession OF Porto Rico and the Canaries,
three pearls between the old and new
world. which viii add riches to America
and enlargement of our share of the
worlds trade.
The President. with his years of study OF
commercial matters, realizes that the
worlds struggle today is for trade and
business. He wants to see shrewd Uncle
Sam hold his own ir that struggle; IL pos
sitie. to surpass any other nation OK the
earth. Whether the President, with these
broad ideas Of the future, is willing to
amend tradition is a matter of which his
closest friends refuse to talk. He is meet
ing events step by step, and assurance is
given that he Will be foremost in whatever
will legitimately and honorably increase the
riches and trade Of the country.

There continues to be official

The District OF Columbia is not

WORK ON THE COLUMBIA.
May Take Ten Days to Repair the
Disabled Cruiser.

NEW YORK. May 31.-The disabled
cruiser Columbia will probably not be able
to leave the dry dock at the navy yard for
ten days at least. More than hundred
mechanics are at work on the vessel rip
ping off the injured armor plates and spon-
son. The plates which are being taken off
are about IS OF an inch thick. Several
plates have been taken off below the water
line which are not very badly injured, and
1T is expected that the plates for a dis
tance of six or eight feet on each side of
the aperture caused by the collision will
have to be taken of and new ones substi-
tuted. The steel protected decks, which
begin right at the water line. do not seem
to be materially injured.
The Golfers Alexar der and Hannibal are
being prepared for sea service, but as the
officers who have been assigned to the
command of the vessels have not reported
at the navy yard as yet, the GOLFERS may
not go to sea for several days.

EVIDENCE OF WEAKNESS.
The Opposition to Mr.. Lodges Speak,
ing in Open Session.

The action of Senators White and Turpie
in preventing Mr.. Lodge from speaking on
the progress of the war in the Senate to-
day is regarded by Hawaiian annexation
lists as a confession of weakness on the
part Of those opposed to the annexation Of
the Hawaiian Islands.
Mr. Lodge had insisted that he did not
intend to make a speech on Ha waiian an
nexation, but those opposed 10 annexation
apparently feared that what he had to say
would bear upon that subject. and took
the precaution to close the doors of the
Senate and forced Mr.. Lodge to deliver his
speech in secret legislative session. Ha-
waiian anEexationists about the Senate re-
gard this action an evidence of fear lest
Mr.. Lodge should make arguments in open
session bearing favorably upon the subject
Of annexation which those opposed 10 that
policy would not be able to answer. The
action of Messrs. Turpie and White is re-
garced as great mistake by many be-
cause of this Interpretation, which is very
generally being placed upon II.
