Records
United States to Use Hawaii as
Base of Siplies.
MAY ANNEX ISLANDS AT ONGE
Action Expected in Committee.
Many Warships Will Pass
Through.
NEW YORK, May 9. The Herald's
Washington correspondent telegraphs
Every ton of coal at the Hawaiian Isl
ands suitable for steamer use has been
bought for the navy of the United
States. Orders' have been issued from
the Navy Department to dispatch at
once colliers to Honolulu loaded with
more coal, and that point is to be made
the most important coaling station in
the entire Pacific ocean.
It is foreseen by the Administration
that there will have to be constant
passing back and forth between the
Pacific coast and Manila of naval ves
sels, transports and supply ships, and
it is absolutely necessary that these
vessels should take on coal at Hono
lulu, as few of them can steam the en
tire distance from San Francisco to
Manila without recoaling en route.
It is well understood by the Admin
istration that the Hawaiian Govern
ment will make no objection to the
United States naval vessels and trans
ports coaling at Honolulu, though it is
realized that by taking that course the
Hawaiian Government takes all re
sponsibility of becoming an ally of the
United States in the war with Spain.
It is realized that if Spain had suffi
cient force in the Pacific the Hawaiian
Islands would be attacked. It is furth
er realized that, after having allowed
the United States to use Honolulu as a
coaling station in the present war, if
this Government should become invol
ved in hostilities with any other power
having naval forates in the Pacific, that
power would take possession of the
Hawaiian Islands at once.
In view of these facts the Adminis
tration is hopeful that the annexation
of Hawaii to the United States will be
accomplished without delay, by ratifi
cation of the pending treaty by the
Senate or by the passage of a joint
resolution.
The House Committee on Foreign
Affairs will" tomorrow resume consid
eration of Newlands' resolution for the
annexation of the Islands, and there is
little doubt that it will be favorably
reported to the House, where it will
receive early consideration and prob
ably be agreed to on Thursday. It is
suggested that the House take no ac
tion in regard to annexation until after
the Senate had exhausted all its re
sources by voting on the annexation
treaty. As, however, there is no possi
bility of a two-thirds vote for the
treaty being secured in the Senate, it
is not probable that there wrill be any
delay on this account.
Additional impetus may be given the
movement for immediate annexation
tomorrow by an official offer from Ha
waii for a transfer of the Islands to the
United States for the purposes of the
war with Spain. It was announced in
a press dispatch some days ago that
President Dole had sent a communica
tion to this Government making such
an offer. Mr Hatch did not receive
anything by telegraph from San Fran
cisco relating to such an offer, but mail
which arrived by the steamer which
brought the press dispatch to San
Francisco reached Washington today.
As the Minister was absent in New
York, this mail will riot be opened un
til his return tomorrow, when, if it
contains an offer from President Dole
to transfer the Islands to the United
States, it will be at once communicated
to the State Department.
The first use of Honolulu as a coal
ing and supply station will be made by
the cruiser Charleston and the supply
ships which she is to convoy to Manila.
This expedition is to start from San
Francisco next week and the Adminis
IS OFF IIAYTI.
Admiral Sampson Awaits Arrival of
Spanish Fleet.
NEW YORK, May S. The Herald s
Washington correspondent sends the
following:
Cable advices received from Rear
Admiral Sampson announce his arriv
al off the cuast of Hayti yesterday
with a division of his fleet. He will
remain at the point wher he is now
located until the department or one of
the scouts informs him of the apear
ance of the Spanish men-of-war, which
sailed from St. Vincent nine days ago.
Although press reports have been pub
lished announcing that " the Spanish
fleet has arrived at San Juan and off
Martinique, the department has heard
nothing from the American liners act
ting as scouts confirming such reports,
and the Consular officers of this Gov
ernment in the West Indies are silent.
The officers are under instructions to
report to the Department of State any
reliable information of the presence
of any Spanish men-ofwar.
INVASION POSTPONED.
Victory ou the Atlantic Will He
Awaited.
TAMPA, Fla., May 8 Capt. J. H.
Miley, senior aid de camp to Major
General Shaffer, left Tampa very
quietly last night for Washington to
report to General Miles.
Captain Miley will return to Tampa
immediately after his mission is ac
complished. The work of preparing
the transports has been delayed a good
deal by the non-arrival of material,
and it will be Wednesday, perhaps
later, before this work is accomplished.
But outside of the delay in the prepar
ations, no American troops will be
landed on Cuban soil until the ques
tion of superiority in the Atlantic is
settled between Admiral Sampson's
squadron and the Spanish fleet, and
settled decisively. High army officials
make this statement.
They say it would be taking needless
chances to send an army into Cuba be
fore te Spanish fleet is disposed of,
and until the meeting of the American
and Spanish fleets takes place no one
here believes orders to move will be
received.
THEY ARE PKEPARIXt;.
Invasion of Cuba liy General Shatter
llelnjr Mapped Out.
NEW YORK, May 9 The Herald's
Washington correspondent telegraphs:
All necessary prepartions were made
today in the War Department to send
an army, consisting of both volunteers
and regulars, of over 61,000 men to in
vade Cuba.
The first detachment of this army
will be in Cuba by Sunday next and
will immediately establish a base of
supplies for United States troops.
General Shatter, as soon as his first
work has been accomplished, will im
mediately send a report to the War De
partment and orders will be sent by
Secretary Alger to General Wade, who
wrill be in command of 45,000 troops
concentrated at Tampa, Mobile and
New Orleans, to at once begin the
transportation of his army to join the
command of General Shafter. Prepara
tions for having a sufficient number
of transports on hand at these three
points are being rushed by the quarter
master general of the army. Not the
slightest difficulty is expected from
this source.
No Spanish Ship Sighted

Troops Have Not Yet
Landed In Cuba.
WASHINGTON, May 7. Commo
dore Dewey's official report to Secre
tary Long consisted of two dispatches
one from Manila and the other from
Cavite as follows:
"MANILA, May 1. The squadron ar
rived at daybreak this morning. I im
mediately enegaged the enemy and de
stroyed the following Spanish vessels:
Reina Cristina, Castilla, Ulloa, Isle de
Cuba, Genrela Lozo, the Duero, Correo,
Velasco, Mindanao, one transport and
the water battery at Cavite. The
squadron is uninjured, and only a few
men were slightly wrounded. The on
ly means of telegraphing is to the Am
erican Consul 'at Hongkong. I shall
communicate with him.
"DEWEY."
"CAVITE, May 4. I have taken pos
session of the naval station at Cavite,
on the Philippine Islands. Have de
stroyed the fortifications at the bay
entrance. Parolled the , garrisons. I
control the bay completely and can
take the city at any time. The squad
ron is in excellent health and spirits.
The Spanish loss is not fully known,
but is very heavy. At least 150 were
killed, including the captain of the
Reina Cristina. I am assisting in pro
tecting the Spanish sick and wounded.
Two hundred and fifty-six wounded
are in hospitals within our lines. There
is much excitement at Manila. I will
protect the foreign residents.
"DEWEY."
Dewe) 's Synopsis.

of the declaration of war. Quitted
British waters.
WEDNESDAY Sailed for Manila at
fastest speed that could be made with

Blew up six batteries at the entrance
to the bay. Cut the cable. Establish
ed blockade of Manila. Drove Span
ish forces out of Cavite.
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY

torpedoes. Gave crews well-earned
rest. Prepared official dispatches.
The losses of the Spaniards include
ten warships, several torpedo boats,
two transports, navy-yard and nine
batteries.
Including the losses ashore about
1,200 Spaniards were killed or wound

ONLY EIGHT MEX INJURED.
All Were From the Raltlmore and
Were Known Here.
Eight men of Admiral Dewey's fleet,
were slightly injured. Some were well
known in Honolulu. They were: Lieu
tenant Frank W. Kellogg, Ensign R.
W. Barlow, R. P. Coreit, W. O. Keefe,
R. Ricciardelli, E. Snellgrore.
The only one of the American ves
sels to receive a serious injury and
perhaps serious is too strong a word
was the Baltimore. In the second en
gagement she was hit by several shots,
and her machinery was damaged
enough to cause her to withdraw from
the engagement for about an hour in
order that temporary repairs might be
made She returned to the fight, how-
ever, and after victory had been won
her mechanics were soon able to make
the necessary repairs.
Death or Knulueer Kaudall.
WASHINGTON, May 7. A cable
gram received from the commander of
the McCulloch states that Chief En
gineer F. B. Randall died May 1. It is
supposed that his death was due to
excitement during the battle.
' Cable Was Cut.
The cable was cut by Admiral Dew
ey at a point fifteen miles from Ma
nila, at the entrance of the bay. There
will be no difficulty in getting the ca
ble. Admiral Dewey having taken the
precaution of buoy both of the cut
ends.
MORE WO.Ulv FOlt DEWEY.
Several Poluts In Manila Remain to
He Conquered.
NEW YORK, May 8. The Herald's
Washington correspondent telegraphs:
In anticipation of the dispatch of
troops to Manila, the Commissary
General of Subsistence has directed
the preparation and shipment to San
Francisco of 60,000 rations, sufficient
to last 5,000 ment four months.
The cruiser Charleston, it was defi
nitely determined by the Naval War
Board today, will not start for the
Philippines before next week, so that
she will act as a convoy to the troops
and supply ships.
Acting Admiral Dewey, the conquer
or of Manila, still has considerable
work to perform before the destruction
of Spanish power in the Far East Is
complete. Iloilo, capital of the Island
of Panay, which Is fortified and gar
risoned by Spanish troops, remains to
be taken, and there are one or two
points In the Philippines which the
guns of his fleet will be called upon to
reduce. Confident, however, that
Spain's power In the Philippines has
been broken by the victory of Manila,
the authorities have directed Rear Ad
miral Dewey to remain with his squad
ron in the harbor, where he is now an
chored, until the troops which will be
sent to his assistance reach their des
tination. .
PROGRAM FOR MANILA.
l'laa of Government Discussed Hy the
abinet.
NEW YORK, May 9. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Herald sends
the following: Some desultory discus
sion occurred at the Cabinet meeting
today as to the character of the gov
ernment that should be given to the
Philippines. The cabinet had been
called together by the President, in ac
cordance with his usual custom, to
read over his message to Congress on
the battle of Manila Bay, and when
the reading was concluded the talk
turned to the establishment of some
sort of government in the Islands. A
proposition was made to form a com
mission, consisting of Rear Admiral
Dewey, Consul Wildman at Hongkong
and Consul Williams, formerly at Ma
nila, who would administer a govern
ment of the Islands, but it was not
i adopted.
