FOR ANNEXATION OF CUBA.
Senator EIl<ins, of West Virginia, Introduces Joint ResOIu-
 ton For the Purpose.

Washington, June 15.-Senator FL kins introduced joint resolution in the senate providing for the anenxa- tion of Cuba and for it's admission as state of the union.
 The resolution grants the consent of congress to the erection of the re- public of Cuba as a state of the un- ion, ''To be called the State of Cuba, with republican form of govern ment, to be adopted by the people of said republic by deputies in conven- ton assembled with the consent of the existing government" "A
 A condition is specified that the constitution of the proposed state shall be submitted to congress not later than January 1, 1904. There is also a provision that the debts of Cuba shall not become a charge upon the general government. There also is an alternative provision giving the president authority, if he prefers, to proceed in a more direct way for Cuba's admission as a state. This provision permits the admission un- der the terms of the resolution itself, instead of proceeding to submit the resolution to Cuba as an overture on the part of the United States" If this latter course is pursued state is to be formed, Out of the present re- public of Cuba, with a republican form of government, and with rep resentatives in congress, and be ad- mitted into the union by this act, on an equal footing with the existing states as soon as the terms and con ditions of such admission shall be agreed upon by the governments of the republic of Cuba and the United States.''
 The resolution provides for the ap- propriation of $1O0,000 to carry it's provisions iuto effect.

TO CONFEDERATE DEAD.
Dedication of Memorial Arch to Confederates Who Died in
 Camp Chase, Ohio.

Columbus, O., June 15.-The un- yelling and dedication of memorial arch to 2,250 confederate dead at tracted 5000 people from all parts of the country to this city Saturday. The arch was the gift of William Harrison, of Cincinnati, former cit izen of Columbus. The dead soldiers were prisoners at Camp Chase, west of Columbus, during the war, and died in prison. For many years the little cemetery was neglected. For mer President Hayes paid a farmer to keep the burial ground free from weeds. Former Gov. Foraker had the government inclose the spot with a stone wall. Several years ago, Col. w. H. Knauss, a public-spirited local citizen and eX-federal soldier, insti- tuted yearly custom of decorating the graves. MT. Harrison was not a soldier in either army, but was in- fuenced in making his gift by senti- ment.
 The dedication ceremonies were the most elaborate ever held. There were many eX-confederates present from all parts of the south. Among the speakers were Gov Nash and Gen. John B. Gordon. The graves were decorated by the ladies of the G. A. R. and the Daughters of the Confederacy

Bow Street Police Court, London, Crowded When Col. Lynch's
 Case Was Called.
WAS AGAIN REMINDED UNTIL JUNE q.
The Prosecution Outlined Its Case and Defense Announced Deter imitation to Face the Proceedings ManfulIy and Facilitate Them aK Much as Possible.

London, June 15.-Bow Street po- lice court was crowded, Saturday morning, when the investigation into the charge of high treason brought against Col. Arthur Lynch, formerly of the Boer army, was begun. Lynch, who was elected member of parlia- ment for Galway, in November last, was arrested at New Haven, Wednes- day, upon landing from France. Mrs. cused were present.
 | The Prosecution Opened. l The solicitor-general, Sir Edward Carson, in opening for the prosecu- | tion, alluded briefly to Col. Lynch's | Australian birth, his residence in Paris and his departure thence to the Transvaal in January, 1900. "The case for the prosecution, said Sir Ed ward, twill be that on arriving in South Africa, Lynch took service with | the Transvaal government, raised a | regiment, of which he acted as com mander, to fight in behalf of the Boers and actively fought against Gen. Buffers operations.
 The Meat of the Charge.
 "Lynch was in Pretoria, January 15. 1900," the solicitor continued, "and wrote to the Transvaal authori- ties notifying them of his desire to take up arms. January IS he signed a field comets certificate, describing himself as an Irishman,a British sub- ject and born in Australia, but de- claring his willingness to fight for the South African republic in order to maintain and defend its independ- ence. Lynch also took the oath of allegiance as a full burgher, the cer- tificate enabling him to do so as we'll as to accept commission from the Transvaal government. Lynch then raised the so-called Irish brigade, joined the invading army in Natal and issued an appeal signed Arthur Lynch, Colonel, Irish Brigade,' invit- ing Irishmen to assist the two repub- lics'
 Defense Isn't Quibbling.
 Hon. Charles Russell. second son of the late lord chief justice, Baron Rus sell of Killowen, in behalf of the de- fendant, said that Lynch had faced the proceedings like a man. What he had done had been done openly, and he desired to facilitate the inquiry as much as possible.
 After the police had furnished evi- dence of the prisoners arrest, he was remanded to June 21. During the course of this evidence Detective In- spector Walsh testified to finding in Col. Lynch's pocket a visiting card of Hamilton Holt, Introducing Col. Lynch, of the Boer army, to three Americans, A. s. Hardy United States minister at Berne, Switzerland; Her bert w.
