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

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.

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

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.

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.

Troop Ship and Clara Ilartori Arrive

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.

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.

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

the Alert will relieve her shortly. The
Alert is now at Mare Island.
