Annexation of Hawaii A
The annexation of Hawaii, under the
act of congress Of July Z, 1898, was duly
accomplished, and the commission for the
purpose of recommending legislation for
the island was duly appointed. No rec
concentrations are made pending the re-
port of the commission.
The proposal of the car Of Russia for a
general reduction of the vast military es-
Establishments that weigh SO heavily upon
many people in time of peace is cordially
endorsed, although the active military
force of the United States, as measured by
our population, territorial area and taxa
BILE wealth is, and under prospective con-
ditions must continue to be, in time of
peace, so conspicuously less than that of
the armed powers to whom the cars ap-
peal is especially addressed that the ques.
tion can have for us no practical inpor-
tance, save as marking an suspicious step
toward the betternent of the condition of
the modern peoples and the cultivation of
peace and good will among them.

United States to Ottoman porte carries in

for indemnity by reason of the destruction
of the property of American missionaries

NEW MARITIME POLICY.

AcqufsitiOn OF Now Territory Makes It
Almost Imperative.
The annexation Of Hawaii and the
changed relations Of the United States
to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
rs tho result Of the war compels the
prompt adoption of q maritime policy by
the United States.
There should be established regular and
frequent steamship communication un-
der the American flag with the newly
acquired islands, Spain furnished to its
colonies at.an annual cost of about ~
OOO, 900 steamship lines connecting with u
portion of the worlds markets, as we'll as
trade circles at home ports. The United
States will not undertake to do less It is
our duty to furnish the people of Hawaii
with facilities under national control for
their export and import trade. 1t will be
conceded that the present situation calls
for legislation which shall be prompt
durable and liberal.
The part which American merchant ves-
sells and their sealnen performed in the
war with Spain demands that this SERVICE
forming both pickets and the second line
of defense is national necessity and
should be encouraged in every constitu-
tional way.
Details and methods for the accomplish
ment of this purpose are discussed in the
report of the secretary of the treasury to
which the attention of congress is respect
fully invited.
For Yellow Fever Commission.
In my lsst annual message 1 recon-
mendcd that congress authorize the ap-
pointment of q commission for the pur-
pose of making systematic Investigations
with reference to the cruise and prevention
of yellow fever. This matter has acquired
an increased importance as the result of
the military occupation Of the island of
Cuba, and the commercial intercourse be-
tween this island and the United States,
which we have every reason to expect.
The recommendation for a commission is
earnestly renewed.

and the appointment of the Paris peace
commission are also detailed.
Will Discuss New Possessions Later.
The negotiations have made hopeful
progress, so that I trust soon to be able to
lay definite treaty of peace before the
senate, with review of the steps leading
to it's signature.
l do not discuss at this time the govern
which will come to us as the result of the
war with Spain. Such discussion will be
appropriate after the treaty of peace shall
be ratified. In the meantime and until
the congress has legislated otherwise, it
governments which have existed since our
security in life and property and encour-
agement under a just and benefcent rule.
A Government for Cuba.
AS soon as we are in possession of Cuba
and have pacified the island it will be
necessary to give aid and direction to its
people to form a government for them
selves. This should be undertaken at the
earliest moment consistent with safety
and assured success. 1t is important that
onr relations with these people shall be of
the most friendly character, and our COM.
mercial relations close and reciprocal. 1t
should be our duty to assist in every
proper way to build up the waste places
of the island, encourage the industry of
the people and assist them to form gov
ernment which shall be free and indepen-
dent, thus realizing the best aspirations
of the Cubanp eople.

product Of man who lived in the end
of the 10th century who was unfair
with his subject because he does not
hint at any other theory of dates then
eXtant of which there were several.
(2) Let us say Of these dates that
seeing they are not inspired they
could not possibly be reliable and also
they conflict with facts in our
possessions; for instance: That the
flood came in the midst of Egyptian
glory 2500 b. G. and that this little
episode did not much inconvenience
those people.
OBJ Let us say also that they have
served many good turn, and that
those from Abraham's time are ap-
proXimately correct. And let US
patiently wait till man has done his
best in the field of reseach, and we
shall find that facts--then as ever-tit
beautifully into the revelation God
has given us, and that whatever sub
ject is taken up by sacred writer's is
dealt with inherently.
