Terrible Conditions Found in the

WASHINGTON, December 16.-The ter

report to the War Department from Gen.
Davis:
PFNAR DEL RIO, December IA.
Adjutant General Washington:
Arrived here last night; troops comfort
ably encamped; have all required supplies;
have been received with greatest enthusi-

The AIcade called, rendered his services.
A small Cuban force is in town as po-

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS,
Latest News from the Islands-Candidatss

Latest News from the IsIands-Candidatss
for the Governorship of the Islands.
San Francisco, December 16.-The
steamer Gaelic arrived to-day from
Hong Kong and Yokohama via Homo
lulu, and brings the following news
from the latter place under date OF
December 9:
Three candidates are being pers.s-
tently mentioned for the governorship
of the island. They are S. NJ. Damon,
Harold NJ. Sewell and President Dole.
Each candidate has a host OF support
ers. A petition is being circulated
among the natives, praying President
Mckinley not to appoint to the position
of governor any person connected with
the recent revolution in the island.
Another petition of startling nature
is about to be circulated asking France
to interfere with the present govern
ment and to restore the monarchy.
President Dole will soon leave for
Washington to be present when the
Hawaiian commission present their re-
port to Congress.
w. A. Kinney will sail on the 21L,
I for Washington to represent the Ha-
waiian planters during the debate upon
| territorial matters. in Congress. He
goes purely as an attorney, and not
as a lobbyist in any sense.
At a meeting of the planters asso-

labor proposition was discussed. 1t
came from a society in Finland, and
| the laborers offered to compose a coli
onv of religious sect resembling the
| Quakers, natives of Russia.
The colony, of which 1000 men, wo-
men and children are available for
Hawaii. has been practically hunted to
earth by the Russian authorities for
wears. An important clause in their
creed forbids taking life for any rea-
son whatsoever. This units them TO"
| duty as soldiers, and the Russian gov
eminent are unable to induce any OF
them to bear arms. The society which
addresses the local planters was
formed in England for the express pur-
pose of taking these Quakers away
from Russia and giving them start
in some other country. A colony sent
to Cypress did not succeed 1t is
stated that there is $4,000 on hand to
aid the colony of 1000 souls in reach
ing a desirable home.
While no action was taken the propo-
sition was thought we'll of, and there
IS every prospect that it will be fol
From reports, it is quite evident that
the people will be very desirable Ia

cent civil appolnree was 90 years old.
The widely scattered points at which
troops were to be located in Alaska,
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines
was an important factor Gen. Stanton
said, in requiring the increase de-
sired.
Major Morrison, of the judge advo-
cate generals office, advocated the
need of an additional force by stat
ing that whereas there were now
eight army departments throughout
the United States, seven more were
about to be organized in Cuba, and
even after things settled down to a
normal basis, ten departments would
be required.
Chairman Hull announced that he
was anxious to close the hearings and
have the committee get at the bill by
Monday, so as to report it before the
holidays. This would permit public
attention to be directed toward it dur
ing the holiday recess.
I'm my judgment" said Mr.. Hull,
there is no measure before Congress
so urgently demanded as this one-not
necessarily this particular bill-but
one of this general character"
Mr.. Hay, of Virginia, dissented from
this statement, saying he did not think
the people were "hankering after big
standing army" AS the war was over,
he said, war conditions should be
bl ought to a close.

given most cordial reception by his for

the day Representative Bailey, of Texas,
the Democratic floor leader breakfasted

way questions of public and party policy.
When Mr.. Bryan reached the House he
was escorted to the Democratic cloak
room, where he was surrounded by men,
bers and made the recipient of many at
tentions. For some time he talked social
ly and politically with that unreserve
which marks cloak room discussion.
Col Bryan expressed himself very en-
phaticaly to his Democratic associates
upon the duty of Congress in regard to
the Philippines. He believes that the ISL

there may be no misunderstanding in the
future, and that the natives of the islands
may rest assured that the ultimate pur-
pose of the United States is to give them
a free and Independent government. The
war was fought for humanity's sake, he
says, and the United States in the hour
of victory at the close of the war when
the Philippines have fallen into their
hands, should stand on the policy they
proclaimed at the outset regarding Cuba.

RIVERS AND HARBORS.
Captain Dovener Hopes Soon to BE Z bic
to Make Some Promises.


Special to the Register.
Washington, December 16.-The
House committee on rivers and har-
5ors, OF which Capt. Dovener is a
member, is hard at work on the bill
which it will present to Congress some
time during the present session. Re-
SaI ding the work of this committee so
far, Capt Dovener said tonight:
while we have not reached point
where it is advisable to make promises
or even rough estimates Of how the
river and harbor funds will be distri-
buted, l hope to say before many days
that the proposed improvements on
the Ohio river, below Pittsburg, iii
which West Virginia, and particularly
Wheeling, is deeply interested, will re-
ceive full attention. We have not yet
begun to draw up the bill, having been
occupied with hearing the claims ad-
vanced by the various cities and States
who urge precedence in the matter o.
appropriations. l expect before long
to be met by a West Virginia delega-
tion, and the needs of the Ohio will be
presented with vigor."
The recent appointment of Congress
man Burton, of Cleveland, as chair
man of the river and harbor commit
tee is regarded as favorable to liberal
treatment of needed OHIO river inn
provements.

efforts had been made in behalf of the
volunteers whose officers he recog-
nized sometimes did not quite under
stand how TO get what was due TO
them. Surgeon generals were given
articles from hospital stores on ,mere
memorandum receipts and they were
paid for out of funds at Washington.
Col Roosevelt once came to him at
Santiago and wanted to buy tomatoes
and certain extra supplies for his men
and he refused to let him pay for
them as there was no need for it.
Referring to difficulties caused by the
subsistence department depending on
the quartermasters department for
transportation, he said it was Tidic-
ulous idea and the transportation was
a matter he would not like to speak OF
without thinking it over" and, he
had thought a heap ABOUT it, too.
So far as the food was concerned, Gen.
Weston characterized the Santiago
campaign as mere bagatelle, the harl-
ships being trivial compared to his
own experience in frontier Indian cam

forced to use the wagon mules for food
