PLANS FOR HAWAII: Proposition to Tate Islands as a far Measure. THE OPINION IN WASHINGTON Senator Davis Taiks of Pearl Har borMr. Hatch Calls on Government. NEW YORK, April 26. A Sun spe cial from Washington says: A way has been opened for the United States to take possession of the Hawaiian Isl ands without waiting for a vote of the Senate upon the pending treaty of an nexation or the passage by Congress of Senator Morgan's joint resolution, providing for annexation. Several weeks ago a bill was prepar ed by several members of the Foreign Affairs Committee, with the approval of the President and Secretary of State, by the. terms of which the Ha waiian Government was authorized to recognize the authority of the United States. The bill was sent to Honolulu to be presented to the Hawaiian Legis lature, and news that it has been adopted by that body is looked for at an early day, possibly on the arrival of the next steamer from the Islands. The necessity of securing Pearl har bor as a coaling station is generally admitted, and there is fear that under the neutrality laws the United States will be entitled to no more privileges in Hawaiian harbors than any other harbors. It is possible the recent re port that Admiral Miller had been in structed to hoist the flag of the United States on the Government House at Honolulu grew out of the knowledge that the legislation referred to was projected. It is likely the Admirafs instructions contemplate the establish ment of a coaling station as soon as the Hawaiian Legislature acts on the bill providing for the recognition of the United States. The Washington Star says: Mem bers of the Senate Committee on For eign Relations are generally without information as to the plans of the Ad ministration in Hawaii, but some of them indorse the idea of securing the Pacific Islands by seizure at this time in view of their strategic importance. Senator Davis, chairman of the com mittee, is among those who hold this view. He said yesterday that he con sidered the United States would be en tirely justified in taking the Islands in case of war as a war measure. "They would," he said, "be neces sary tor our own deiense, ana we would be justified in their seizure at such a time to prevent their falling into the hands of our enemies, to whom they would be invaluable. What is to prevent Spain's sending a cruiser to Honolulu and seizing the country, together with our property interests there, including our coal, of which, I understand, we have quite a suppljs on the Islands. Furthermore, there are in Hawaii many American citizens whose interests it is necessary we should pro tect. For these and other reasons I should indorse the taking possession of the Islands by the United States in time of war with another country into whose hands they might fall. We, of course, know that the Hawaiian Gov ernment is friendly to annexation, so that acquirement by this means would not be so violent a proceeding as it might seem under other circum stances." It is said that in case possession was acquired in this way there would be no necessity Congress. for confirmatory action by ANXIOUS AliOUT HAWAII. Mr. Hatch Calls on Government. Policy May Pe Chanirerf. WASHINGTON, April 2S. John B. Moore qualified today as Assistant Sec retary of State and, in the absence of Secretary Day, rec?ived the represen tatives cf the foreign governments having diplomatic business with the United States. Among them were the Portuguese Minister and Mr. Hatch, Minister from Hawaii. The latter, it is understood, called to ascertain, so far as possible, the policy of the United States with regard to Hawaii in con nection with the war with Spain. Al though it is impossible to. obt;iin anv official information on that particular point, it is understood the Hawaiian Minister was informed that the Admin istration was likely to change its policy toward the Hawaiian Islands pending action by the Senate on the treaty pro viding for the annexation of the Isl ands. The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations held a meeting today for fur ther consideration on the question of annexation. ANNEXATION. Views Exprosed in a Dispatch From the East. The New York connection of a cou ple of local firms and of several citi zens says in a telegram brought from San Francisco by the S. S. City of Rio: "Mr. Thurston says that the war tariff bill displaces for the present consider ation of the annexation resolution. Our own information is that the resolution will be taken up and disposed of in the Senate as soon as preliminary or im perative war legislation is out of the way. In any event we are of the opinion that action should be taken in Hawaii, regardless of inaction in this country." The last clause in this dispatch re fers of course, to some proposal that has been made for a radical course here. Members of the Government de cline to discuss the matter at present or rather to make or give any hint as to the immediate future. It was said on Saturday that a determined effort or attempt wrould be made to uncover the policy of the Government through the old process of lodging questions from the Legislature upon the Minis try. When this was suggested to a Government factor the reply was that the Cabinet could not be forced to an swer all questions. WAR NOTES. NEW YORK, April 30, 2:47 a. m. The American liner Paris has just been sighted off Fire Island. It was decided by the President that if the Spaniards attempt to replace the fortifications at Matanzas, they will again be bombarded. WASHINGTON, April 29. At to day's session of the Senate the report of the conferees on the naval appro priation bill was presented and agreed to. The measure, as prefected, carries a little more than $57,000,000. KINGSTON, (Jamaica), April 29. The German steamer Remus, from Hamburg for Baltimore, touched at Port Antonio, this island, early today and landed 441 German, Cuban, British and American refugees from Santiago de Cuba. MADRID, April 29. Spanish fours closed at 61.30. Gold was quoted at 83.00. BOSTON, April 29. All the inmates of the public institutions in the har bor, numbering about 1,200, are to be removed for fear of a Spanish bom bardment. Vac lit Ways. In a few days now the contract will be let for construction of the yacht ways to be an annex of the establish ment of the Healani Boat Club, in the harbor here. Charles B. Gray is look ing after the matter and has the plans and some figures on cost of constfuc tion. It is purposed by building these ways to bring all the yachtmen to gether and to have cooperation in cruising and in management generally. A number of yachts were out yester day. The Worlds won a hotly contested cricket match from the Englands on Saturday afternoon. The Aloha Branch of the Theosophi- cal Societv had a most interesting ob servance of White Lotus Day in the Society hall, Saturday evening. DEPENDABLE BARGAINS.

SHIPS IN ORIENT ProMMy Have Already Captures FORCES JOINED BY INSURGENTS Specie to Be Removed to Place of Safety Forts Armed With Krupp Guns. NEW YORK, April 29. A cable to the World from Hongkong says: New Manila has fallen into the hands of the insurgents, it is reported. There are several rebel leaders in Hongkong and they do not doubt the reports. They say the insurgents will capture old Manila within a few days. One of the ships of the American fleet, pre sumably the flagship Olympia, is said to have taken large quantity of arms and ammunition which it is hoped to get into the hands of the rebels. A more plausible rumor is that the arms were shipped from Singapore on the ship which took General Aguinaldo and his Cabinet. The Philippine capital is divided into what is known as Old Manila and New Manila. Old Manila is the more im portant section of the city where the Spanish live, including the Captain- General, Archbishop and several eccle siastic subordinates of the latter. There, too, are the Government build ings. HONGKONG, April 30. It is denied that the Spanish fleet has left Manila to meet the American squadron. On the contrary, it is asserted that the Spanish wrar shVps will remain in Ma nila bay to assist the forts. It is reported from Manila that the American war ships have been sighted, but the weather has been too stormy for the fleet to communicate with the rebels. The insurgent chief, Aguinaldo, is coming to Hongkong from Singapore. It is alleged that he absconded with a half million dollars paid by the Span ish Government for the other insur gent leaders. All Manila telegrams are censored and mail communication with Hong kong has been suspended. The steamer Esmeralda, chartered by the banking companies, has gone to Manila to bring away the specie, as trouble is 'apprenhended. It is under stood she will be able to leave Manila before the United States fleet attacks that port. She has a considerable quantity of coal on board and also has, as a passenger, the insurgent leader Filipino. She is said to have sealed orders to join the United States fleet after her mission is accomplished. The cable to Manila" has not been cut. MADRID, April 29. Japan has re quested permission for Japanese naval officers to watch the operations in the Philippines from the Spanish head quarters. The Vos Espanola of Manila de scribes the port of Manila as impreg nable. It says six other principal ports in the Philippines bristle with guns, chiefly Krupp. WASHINGTON, April 29. A report which cannot be authenticated, says that some part of the Philippine fleet, probably the Olympia and Baltimore, will be sent through to the Mediterra nean to prey on Spanish commerce. MIL.IT All Y CAMPAIGN. Cooperation With Cuban Insurgents Kxpected. WASHINGTON, April 29. General Miles and his assistants were in con ference at various times during the day respecting military operations that are to be undertake in the occupa tion of Cuba. They all maintain the strictest reticence concerning the re sults of these deliberations and have adopted the policy of making nothing public regarding the regular army movements, and none of the officials would confirm the reports published today that the infantry regiments at New Orleans and some of the troops at Chickahauga are to proceed with out delay to Tampa. General Shatter, who commands the brigade at New Orleans, left tonight for that place, accompanied by his Ad jutant, Colonel Babcock. The Cuban representatives in Washington were at General Miles' headquarters today and ! were consulted in regard to various steps which would arise in connection with the cooperation of United States troops with the insurgent forces in Cuba. l'animm 1 1 ml War Material. KEY WEST, Fla., April 29. Discov eries made today on the captured Spanish steamship Panama made it very probable that she will ever be re turned to Spain, whatever may be made of the Bucna Ventura and other prizes taken. A search of the Pana ma's cargo was begun yesterday by the Prize Commission. This search was continued systematically today, and it is as yet far from complete, but the commission has already discovered 200 new Mauser rifles and a large consign ment of swords and bayonets, besides a quantity Of fixed ammunition for the Panama's four 14-pounder guns which she might have used to blow her cap tor, the Mangrove, out of water, but did not. IMIKPAUKI) FOIl DUTY. Troop Ship and Clara Ilartori Arrive In Key West.' KEY WEST, April 29. The chief in cident of the day was the safe arrival of the troop ship Panther with nearly 700 marines on board. The Fern arriv ed from Tampa with ammunition for the fleet, and the Annapolis returned after a brief absence. Where she has been is not known, except to the au thorities and those aboard. The Mascotte arrived here this after noon, bringing Miss Clara Barton and a corps of Red Cross workers. The party did not come ashore, but were taken down stream to the Red Cross ship State of Texas, which has been awaiting their arrival. The State of Texas has on board about 1,400 tons of provisions, clothing and medicines. She will await instructions from Wash ington before proceeding to Cuba. Those Aro Neutal. LISBONTApril 29. The Official Ga zette today publishes the neutrality de cree of Portugal in the war between Spain and the United States. It is simi lar to the decree issued at the time of the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war, and contains six articles. BUENOS AYRES. April 29. It is announced that 'the Argentine Repub lic will promulgate a decree of neu trality during the war between the United States and Spain, but it seems certain that the Government will re serve absolute liberty of action in re gard to coal. With the Navy Men.' The Rio de Janeiro brought orders to Ensign Smith, detaching him from the Bennington and ordering him to re port at New York. Mr. Smith will probably be assigned to active service in the Atlantic. Although Captain Nichols of the Bennington, has been ordered to the cerning the future movements of his ship, yet it is cofidently expected that the Alert will relieve her shortly. The Alert is now at Mare Island. Assistant Engineer Winship of the Bennington, hs been ordered to the Alert.
