AT HONOLULU Second Fleet of Transports Arrive, June 23. Sailors and Soldiers Given Rousing Re ception by Citizens of Honolulu. Monterey and Collier Brutus Arrive. Next Day —Many Surl Boats Engaged. Honolulu, June 29.—Via San Fran i.'co, July 7.—The steamship China, of the Manila transport fleet, reached this port, from San Francisco, on the morn ins of the 23d, one day ahead of the oih-T vessels of the licet. The China steamed ahead of th Zvalandia, Cabin and Senator in order to load coal and clear the wharf .before the arrival of th.' other vessels. The big steamer received a warm v. l» ime. Th-'re was a large crowd of people on the wharf. Th troops swarmed the decks and rigging of the China. Prig. Gen. Givviie immediately sent his adjutant to the wharf with his com pliments to United St.it's Consul Gen ral Haywood and President Dole, (who were on the wharf, and invited them on board. At 9 oVlork, the soldiers were allowed I to g ashore, and were marched to Waikiki, when? every man took a sea bath. The men wen* then marched to town and, at 2 o’clock, they were pro vided with a feast on the Executive grounds. This function was carri d out precisely on the lines of the first expedition.

Spanish Press Sees International Com plications Ahead of Us. If Wc Send a Fleet to Bombard the Coasl of Spain. Madrid. July 7 —C P. M.—A Cabinet meeting lasting three hours and pre sided over by the Queen Regent, was held, this afternoon, and another ifleet ing of the ministers, a: which Premier Sagasta will preside will ire held, to night. The newspapers here say they forsec international complications if the Americans bombard the Spanish coasts. The dispatches announcing the de struction of the Spanish cruiser Reina Mi reed, s and the entrance of the har bor of Santiago de Cuba are not be lieved here, on the ground that the Mer cedes was mailing more than a hulk and that it was impossible to navigate her. It is claimed that th Spaniards must have sunk the lteina Mercedes them selves, in order to block the entrance of the harbor. A Spanish cabinet minister is quoted in an interview as saying that the pres ent government of Spain will devote it self solely to the defence of the Span ish coasts and that if negotiations for peace must be opened they will have to be conducted by another government. The cabinet is of the opinion that the lieet of Admiral Camara should con tinue (its voyage to the Philippine Islands. The government has received a telegram from Admiral Cervera an nouncing the death of Admiral Villa mil. who was in command of the Span ish torpedo boat squadron at Santiago, and the suicide of Capt. Lazaga, the commander of the Infanta Maria Teresa. A minister, after the cabinet meeting, today, declared that if Admiral Cer vera had succeeded in escaping, tlv■ Spaniards would have sued for peace. Hut, he added, in view of the destruc tion of the Spanish fleet, the war must be continued, lest Spain be accused of cowardice or fear. Dispatches received here from official sources at Havana announce that there is an enthusiastic desire there to con tinue the war. OF ONE OPINION Entire European Press Urging Spain to Sue for Peace. London, July ".—The newspapers throughout Europe, today, are urging Spain to seek for peace. It is generally recognized that Senor Sagasta’s cab inet will shortly be superceded. The dimculty in the way of peace is the army, which is anxious to retrieve the failure of the navy and this ambition is strengthened by the fact that the American forces have not yet captured j Santiago. But it is becoming clear even to the Spaniards, that an undu|i;misn uimmuimn at Macabobo, has escaped from there in a canoe, bringing with him the family of Capt. (Jen. August! from Ma cabobo where the captain general sent them when the American licet arrived here, believing that the natives of that part of the country were loyal. Gen. Monet had a terrible voyage, lie ran the gauntlet of the insurgent troops along the river banks and when challenged replied by pretending to bo an insurgent boat conveying prisoners to Cavite, lie was frequently ordered to stop, refused to do so and was fired upon by sentries, was chased, and reached the open bay in a squall, lie and his party were starving and nearly perished. The Spanish general alleges that ho left his troops in a strong position but that he wants reinforcements. A river steamer from lluacan, today, ran the blackade, bringing 200 refugees, women and children. The Spaniards are employing gangs of thieves, armed with axes and machetes to destroy the woods in the outskirts of Manila under Spanish overseers with horse whips. The authorities have declined to ac cept the suggestion to declare Binondo in a neutral zone, and the inhabitants of that place must defend their lives or sacrifice every tiling. It is hintedtfpri vately that it might be required to de stroy the town for the sake of the citadel. The troops are properly pro visioned now and the distances be twet n the various bodies are shorter. SIMPLY A YARN. Not Bclicvod that Dewey Is Having Trouble Aith the Germans.

THE WAR BOARD Claims Perfect Harmony Be tween Army and Navy. Surrender of Santiago Hoped for at an Early Date. Camara Supposed to Be in Red Sea En Route lor Manila. I• Washington July 7.—The meeting of the war hoard at the White House again, today, is taken to mean that the campaign has arrived at a stage where it is felt to be necessary to sum up the existing conditions and decide whether or not they demand a ‘change in the original plans. Captain Crovvinshield, chief of tin* navigation bureau and one . Black and Capt. H. \V. Whinn y. Lieut. Col. Miehalcr and a large staff head quarter clerks, who have been in Tampa, will come north to Charleston oh the llrst steamer after the general and his staff arrive. It is expected that the party will be at Santiago, the early part of next week. On the eve of his departure, Gen. Miles expressed satisfaction at starting to join the troops. He spoke of the sacriliees and hardships they had recently pass.' 1 tnrough and of those yet to come. rJ lie climate has operated severely against the general otticers, and Gen. Miles feds that he, too, is not entirely invulnerable in a country of h. at, swamps and discas. But he has a strong physique, his muscles are as hard as iron, and he goes expecting to stand a good deal of knockabout service. Gen. Miics himself has no other purpose in going to Santiago than to look over the military situation and to strength' n the han.is of Shafter. There is no inten tion on his part to take in any manner from tho glory that Shafter has *n or may win in this campaign. He will not relieve Shafter of his command unless the lulter's )>hysical condition demands such action. The war department admitted for the lirst time, today, that two expeditions, one on the Florida and another on the Fanita had successfully proceeded from Florida purts to points in central and western Cuba, where large quantities of ■arms an l supplies were landed for Gen. Gomez's command. This is the lirst line that arms have got to Gomez and he men in the western section. LINARES MAY SURRENDER. Hoped that When He Secs 20.000 Reinforce ments He'll Give Up. Washington, July 7.—It is learned from a high source that the. war con ference, today, was held for the pur pose of going over the situation at Santiago, and that no determination to rush an attack upon that city was reached, it is stated that the admin istration is reasonably well satisfied with the present situation and has no d sire to precipitate affairs there at a costly saeri'tice of lives or ships. it is confidently believed that Gen. Linares will surrender when he sees that tile American army is to be re inforced by 15,000 or 2U,OOU men. if, however, the Spaniards persist in need lessly sacrificing the,lives of their own men and ours, all the strength of tli army and navy will be hurled against them with a view to putting an end to the struggle in the shortest possi-bl" time. ■VIORE HONORS. Yale Sends President His Diploma and Princc tin Likewise to Dewey. Washington, July 7.—President McKin ley, upon whom Yale University recently conferred the degree of doctor of laws, I today, received the usual diploma printed on parchment.

M.)— Between 12.000 and \\000 innocent victims of the war have fled here in wild panic to escape the terrors of the threatenel bombardment of Santiago, and they are now threatened by the horrors of stava tion. In their helpless confusion they are appealing to (Jen. Shafter for succor. Most of them are foreigners. principally French, or with an admixture of foreign •blood, and their interests are being looked after by their consuls. When they were informed, yesterday, that Gen.

May Rennebcc Journal. I 55th CONGRESS Both Branches of Congress Will Finally Adjourn, Today. The President Signs Haw aiian Annex ation Bill at 7 P. M., Thursday, And Old Glory Will Floit Over Islands in a Few Days. Washington, July 7. I,a to this after noon, a bill conferring upon Adjutant General Corbin the rank, pay and al lowances of a major general was passed by the Senate. When unanimous consent was asked by Mr. Sewell. Hep.. X. for consid eration of the hill, Mr. IVttus, Dent., Ala., objected. However, by a vote, the Senate decided to consider the bill. IVttus sharply criticized the measure and charged that Gen. Corbin had been rapidly promoted by reason of favorit ism. This charge brought several senators to their feet, including Rate, Casco and Hacon, Denis., till of whom testified to Gen. Corbin’s distinguished ability and special fitness for the position lie oc cupies. Sewell, Hale and Foraker paid a high tribute to Gen. Corbin, warmly eulogiz ing him for the splendid record he has made both on the field of battle and in the position he now holds. There was no division on the vote by which the bill passed. During the greater part of the ses sion, the Senate considering unobjeeted hills on the general calendar, passing a large number of them. Delegates and visitors to the Na tional Educational Association filled the galleries of the Senate at the open ing of the session, today. A bill making appropriations to pay session employes, of the House of Representatives and for other pur poses. was passed, with the following amendment: “To enable the secretary of war in his discretion to cause to in' trans ported to their homes, the remains of officers and soldiers who die at mili tary camps or who are killed in action or who (lie in the liold at places outside of the limits of the I'nitcd States $D0, 000.” military affairs committee, and passed, permitting the secretary «»f war in his discretion to have erected on tin* Wrsi Point reservation an edition for relig ious worship. Morgan announced that he proposed to try to got up ins bill for the con struction of the Nicaraguan canal by the United States. Turpii lnd.. sharply opposed the idea suggested by Morgan. A bill to increase tin* number of post quartermaster sergeants of the United States army was passed. Another measure reported from the Military committee to reimburse tin governors of states and territories for expenses incurred by them in aiding tiie United States to raise and or ganise, supply and equip the present volunteer army, was passed. A bill to restore Major J. \V. Wham, formerly paymaster in the United States army, to his full rank and pay in the army was passed. A resolution authorizing the commit tee on finance to fhake an invention of internal revenue and customs matters and to hold sessions during tin* recess of Congress was agreed to. These bills were passed, fixing the pay and allowances of chaplains of volunteer regiments, making them the same as those of a mounted captain permitting ulliccrs in the regular or volunteer army to hold positions as commissioners, superintendents or his torians of national parks. Two hours were then devoted to th consideration of unobjected bills on the general' calendar. Among the .bills passed were the following: To enable naval courts martial and courts of inquiry to secure tie* attend ance and testimony oif civilian witness es; incorporating the American Social Scicn-e Association; to pay \Ym. C. Dodge 10,000 for the use by the United 'States of a patent cartridge loading machine; to n fer to the court of claims the claim of tlv* (Mobe Works of l.ios ton for work done on the monitor Sun cook. Allison called up the House resolu tion .providing for the adjournment of Congress at 2 o’clock, tomorrow, and had it referred to the committee on ap propriations. Sewell, X. J., called up the bill fixing ♦he rank of the adjutant general of the army as that of a major general. Per tus. Ala., objected to consideration of the bill. On motion of Sew all, th** Sen ate. by vote, took up the measure. Pcttus attack- d the measure, declar ing it was a piece of political favorit ism siiid was a wrong to many other officers how* in the field. Mate, Term., defended the Dill and d *fc nded General Corbin, the present ad jutant general, paying a high tribute to (ieneral Corbin’s executive ability. .Sowell said no man had demonstrate 1 more .fully than had General Corbin, his distinguished ability and his e nti:v worthiness ifor the promotion the pend ing message would give him. In reply to the charge of Pettus that General Corbin was a political favorite and had profifted thereby, Poraker sai l he was unwilling that such a state ment should stand uncontradicted. Morgan, Ala., thought the general idea of the bill that the adjutant gen eral should be a major general, was a good one, but he believed the President ought to make the nomination in th regular way. The bill passed without amendment. At 4.40 the Senate went into execu tive session and at 6.12 adjourned. m THE HOUSE. Usual Scenes /ttendant Upon Passage of Final Adjournment Resolution. Washington, July 7.—The day in the House was given to consideration of measures by unanimous consent. Few of importance were passed. After the resolutions providing for final adjourn ment, tomorrow, were agreed to, there was a clamor characteristic of the elos *v», '"f. e*nB almost constantly ui>on umir fuel, appealing for recognition consideration of their local incus urea. lteo*i priv&te bills had been passed, whereas the 52d an 1 53d Congress passed only 336 lulls. Hay did not conclude his speech, n point of order being made from the Democrat that 'he was not speaking to the bill un der consideration. When he oncludod. Derry.

Berry secured tlu privilege to proceed in order. “I will say.'’ began Berry, “that 1 wit keep pretty close to the bill.-but l do no: expect to keep as close as was Commo dore Schley to the: Spanish licet when hi was destroying it olT Santiago.” Ray again mafic the point of order an« Berry finally resumed his seat and consid eration of pension bills proceeded.

It is certain that the Cubans are more eager to light than to work. Have Grover and his great and good friend, ex-Queen Li!, heard the news? Would that the grand old patriot, John L. Stevens, had lived to see th's day. _ The sinking of the La Bourgogne was a more awful disaster than many battles. It is to be hoped that the Reina Mercedes has been destroyed for the last time. By the way, does Lieutenant Sobral still hold the opinion that something is wrong with the American navy? Camara coming home? That’s strange. The impression was gaining ground that he would try to smuggle his fleet into the wilds of central Africa where Deweys and Schleys are unknown. Cjuantanamo harbor where the make their great stand, is ex remely useful to our forees in Cuba. The hospital ships lind a haven there, and nearly all th lighting craft visit It to coal. Death, swift and merciless, should be the fate of those Spanish guerrilas wIid made a business of bring on Red Cross Hags, hospitals, ambulances, and especially on surgeons working on the battlefield. England is the only nation not sur prised by tin* magnificent showing of our ships and sailors. John Bull, now brotln rly, has a vivid recollection f two wars in which his navy was shown to be second to ours. The war is estimated to cost $2,000,000 day, but then tin* loss of Cuban trade amounted to $100,000,000 a year, to say nothing of other ^expenses and troubles connected with tin* endless insurrec tions against Spanish misrule in America. “We entered Santiago harbor without incident,” announced Adm'rai Cerv**ra to his home government after sailing into the neck of the bottle. It will be very interesting to know what his offi cial report will be about the “incidents” of his departure. The utter absence of jealously be tween the army and navy is one of the most gratifying features of the war. There is a generous rivalry between them as to which shall shed the greater on the flag, but each is ready eager to give all credit to the other its achievements. arrival of the Charleston and transport Convoy gives Admiral a reinforcement of about 2600 and soldiers, besides several bluejackets and marines. This j large body with which to at- i seize and control Manila, with of a million people, but the fleet was close on th*' first. It is likely to actual operations will double the army of oe third expedition their way. Hawaii Annexed. Tho Ions desired end of American progress and patriotism has been at tained. The will of the people has been allowed its way at last. The capstone has been placed upon the great monu ment whose broad foundations were laid over half a century ago by Ameri can civilization and Christianity, and which has been built stone by stone ivy American enterprise. It was a proud moment for this republic when the Senate by a vote of 42 to 21, July passed the resolutions for Hawaiian annexation which the House had pre viously passed by an overwhelming majority. The action of the House had been prompt because it recognized the imperative importance of the measure; it knew what the people demanded, and it was willing and anxious to carry out the expressed wish of the administra tion. Hut in the Senate there has been a fruitless and wearisome debate on the part of a filibustering opposition. Only one result was possible, however, and the final vote was taken quite un expectedly. The resolutions were sent to the President to be promptly signed, and there will be no delay in carrying out the provisions of the treaty already drawn up. Very soon the formalities will be arranged, and the proud em blem of our country will be raised over Hawaii, to fly there forever, and its territorial government will be in work ing order. Well may the friends of Hawaiian annexation rejoice. They have accom plished a noble work for this country whose value will lie more and more appreciated as tlie years roll by. Des tiny meant this paradise of the Pacific to be ours, and we have only taken our own. Hawaii was willing and waiting, and every country on earth envied in our opportunity. Prom its importance as a naval station as well as from its. commercial value Hawaii is indis pensable to our national safety and welfare. Hereafter it is as much a part of the Union as Maine or Texas. Nn state has more reason to be proud ot the great work whose culmination we now see than our own. In the past and in the present, in our own land and in Hawaii, its sons have been promi nent champions of annexation. Three distinguished citizens of this city, Severance, Hlain and Stevens, gave the best efforts of their lives to bring it about. Hawaiian annexation is no longer a dream of the future, no longer some thing that merely ought to be. It is an accomplished fact, a glorious real ity. a magnificent triumph for tfljje Americanism. The people of our coun try through their representatives have given their opinion of Cleveland’s foul policy of infamy. Tho (lag he haulel down will be raised again to stay. The Republican party has never don** .a greater work than this.’ “All hail the new territory of Hawaii. The fact that five times as much money was offered under the $200,000,000 loan as the government asked for is a fine evidence of the country's financial strength, and of its confidence in the political sanity and honesty of the party which is in power. No reason able being supposes tiiat K Hryan had been elected and a Bryanite Congress were now in power that the govern ment could get a tenth of-this amount of money at three per cent, interest. The probability that the creditors would be swindled out of a large part of their offerings by being compelled to receive their pay in 44 cent or 30 cent dollars, or whatever the silver coin would be worth when payment was made, would force file government to give high rates of interest in order to get any money at all. President -McKinley's proclamation is a gem of thought and expression. It airs at tile right time and is done in the right way, and tile American peo ple will respond with one impulse. In tile grace and elegance of his diction, and tlic aptness of his words, as well as in his lofty conceptions. President Alt Kinley holds a high place among the public men of this or any time. The noble burden of this masterly proclamation is in the spirit of “Lest we forget." A thousand or 15o0 Spaniards will soon lie off the New England coast, but they will be under guard and the timid patriots of tin* shore needn't bo ffin to tremble. Admiral Cetvera and the surviving sailors of his licet, all of whom are now prisoners, will have a chance to summer, on tiie beautiful islands in Portsmouth and Boston har bors. They will probably fare hotter and enjoy life more than ever before in their wretched lives. It was the irony of fate that made the Cristobal Colon the last vessel of Cervera’s fleet to In* destroyed. This cruiser was so named in honor of the great discoverer who first sighted the West Indies, and took possession of Cuba in behalf of Spain. The sinking of the Colon signalizes the extinction of Spanish dominion in the Western Hemisphere, an empire lost through Spanish despotism, cruelty and greed. The seven men who have been ar rested by the national authorities, charged with the assassination of the negro postmaster at Lake City. Soutli Carolina, may or may not lie the right persons; hut it is gratifying to find that the effort to discover and punish the .miscreants concerned in that das The Ladroncs. It is well at this time to acquire a little Information, geographical ami historical, about Uncle Sam’s latest acquisition in the far Pacific, th£ t^a drones. There was no waiting for a long debate in the Senate before the will of the people could be carried out, but as a matter of military necessity our first Manila expedition simply took possession, raised Old Glory in place of the 'Spanish ensign, carried off the governor and his staff and commis sioned the only American resident of the islands to act in his stead. Tile capture was an easy matter, just a little diversion for the Charleston, for: the only town on the islands had prac tically no fortifications and but a handful of troops. They did not even know that war existed, and thought the roar oif our guns was a salute, the governor apologizing because he had no powder with which to reply. These islands bear the evil name “Ladroncs,” or robber islands, be cause Magellan, who discovered them more than three and a half centuries ago, was unpleasantly affected by the thievish propensities of the islanders. The islands are more properly known as tin* Marianne islands, bearing that name in honor of Queen Maria Anna, wife of Philip II. of Spain, who was on the throne when the Spaniards began to colonize the islands, a little more than two centuries ago. There are 15 islands in the group, and they li in the Pacific ocean east of the Philippines and north of the Carolines, between 13 and 21 degrees north lati tude and 144 and 146 degrees east longitude. Altogether they contain about 420 square miles.and are credited with a population of a little more than 10,000. Eleven of the 15 islands are uninhabited. The most important island and the seat of the only town is (Juahan, of which the Charleston took possession without resistance, leaving behind a small force for occupation and carrying to Manila the surprised Spanish commander and his little gar rison. This island is of great im portance as a coaling station. It his a good harbor, which can be easily fortifi-d. it lies directly in tile line of trallie between the Pacific coast and the Philippine islands, being, in round numbers, 3300 miles from Honolulu, j 1500 from Manila. 1200 from Yokohama i and 1600 from Hong Kong. The population of the four inhabited islands is mixed—Spaniards. Ohamo:- i ros (Tagals) and halfbreeds. They are j very ignorant, very poor, very unam- I bitious. Th climate is a better one (thanks to the trade winds) than that of the Philippines, though pretty! moist. The islands are well watered, the sail fertile but uncultivated; wild cattle and swine are the largest gam I If there is any money in the ownership of the* -Ladriilies, Spain has not known how to extract it. Probably no Euro pean power would bother to interpose a word of objection if we decide to keep these islands. These islands would probably have been entirely neglected but for the missionaries, who were as eager to bear the cross of! Christ into for- ign lands as the Span ish adventurers were to conquer them. The brightest and darkest pages in the history of the- Ladroncs ur Mariannes are connected with the Spanish mis sionaries. Indeed, it is in great meas ure due to the zeal of American mis sionaries in these islands that our gov ernment has gone a step or two out of its way to improve the opportunitv offered just now to pick them up. What does young Emperor Willie think of his former subjects who a;v enlisting so generally in ur army, and who have now offered the govern ment a full flerman-Ann rican regi ment all equipped for service?

The awful story of that collision off Cape Sable whereby the French liner La Bourgogne was sunk by the Kng lish steel ship Cromartyshire anil 531 lives lost, has not only sent sutlilen sorrow Into hundreds of homes, but it is a disaster that appalls the world. No ocean horror like it has been known in recent years, if ever in the history of tra ns- Atlantic commence. It seems like some grim nightmare. It is a tragedy that makes us for a moment forget the horrors and sacrifice of war, so complete was the destruction and so terrible were the heart-rending details. A dense fog was the cause of the accident, though it seems the fated steamer was out of the usual course for the New York-IIavre liners. Of the 714 persons on board the French liner only If.;! were saved, and the hardest part of the whole affair is that hun dreds who lost their lives might easily have been saved, had there been any discipline or presence of mind or manly courage shown on tho part of the crew or the male passengers. They acted like wild men, if the accounts of the survivors are true, each lighting like a demon to save his own life. Men even killed each other as well as women and children to gain places on the boats and rafts. Of 200 women on board only one was saved, she by the heroism of her husband. The sailors and pas sengers were mostly French with some Austrians, Italians, Armenians and others mixed in, and a perfect frenzy prevailed. 'We cannot help believing that had the calm, brave Saxon blood flowed In t'heir veins, the half hour be tween the collision and the sinking of the steamer would have been used to such good advantage that liunilrds more would have been saved, and cer tainly the women, But the Latin blood is too excitable for such a crisis, and the nation so gallant in a drawing room fails in the great emergency where true gallantry is r -«iuired. How differently read the stories of great ocean disasters where Knglishmen or Americans were tho sailors or crews. The ocean has witip-ss.d many awful tragedies, but of all the unnumbered thousands who sleep in its dark bosom none .vent down to their graves amid s. ones that chill tile blood and revolt the soul more than those accompany ing the sinking of La Bourgogne. Of the 551 human beings sacrificed it is safe to say that nearly all were mur dered by their frenzied fellows. May such another ocean horror never be chronicled. 1 Maito® Gossip The Making of a Soldier. Joe Jerry hoed in a stony fioll, I’ndcr sweltering sun.

As a trotting park the land employed has been a failure hut as house lots with streets laid out through it it ought n i realize something for the owners.

Uichards has received word J 10 roturns the collections, are _, K received rapidly toy Chaplain Cum minKa of the 1st Infantry. N. G. S. M„ or the benefit of the hospital of the first Maine Volunteers. About 100 churches had sent in their collection, Wednesday, ‘"!a ‘h« “mount aggregated about $S25, which Mr. Cummings has had placed in the bank subject to being drawn by check by Major B. F. Bradbury, surgeon of the regiment. It can be drawn by Mr. i.uminings if the surgeon wishes that supplies be sent- instead of money. Many of the churches of the State did not take the collection, but postponed it until some time later. In some of the smaller places the an nouncement of the collection drew a large attendance?at the churches in spite of the warm day. In one little town in particular, the, circulars were mailed to the only pastor there, and he placed a portion of the responsibility of getting out large congregation in the hands of the G. A. K. They worked with a will, and succeeded in getting out many to the services, who ^otherwise would not have gone, and probably it did not occur to many that they could send their money without going in person. It is understood that quite a little money is being perfonally sent to Mr. t uminings, and it just as acceptable as though it had come through the church collections. 1 here is a great difference in the man ner in which the different churches took hold of the matter, ffome inn le no spec ial effort to get a large collection, while others made a special effort to raise a large amount, and in mast every case they succeeded. When the whole Sutc is heard from there will doubtless !*e a pretty sum a the credit of the hospital. Those wh contemplate contributing should not lies iiato on this account, 'however, as over; cent will be needed, for when the Main men are ordered to the scene of actioi there will he more need of hospital sup plies other than what the governmen lurnishes, more than ever.

Doctor JIubbard was the governor of the State, at the time the prohibitory law was passed, and though lie was person ally against the law, he did not veto the Dill as he thought it was the will of the p» oplc.

He dashed to ’Grove street, up Grove to Water street, and by the time he had reached the foot of Khincs hill lie was going at a terrific rate of speed, lie dashed •madly up Water street, at every bound the wagon threaten 'd to upset, but in some way it remained right side up. The street was well tilled with teams, and the sidewalks had many people upon them, so those b* low tin* post otliee held their breath as the team dashed into the busiest section of the street.

Naw is the Time to Pltn the Summer Outing. Camp lifo is the fat] of the summer Varation camping parties are being planned on every hand. Whether the mothers and wives and sweethearts of our soldier boys have found new interest in camp life, or the rainy spring is sup posed to give promise of a dry summer, or for whatever cause, camp life promises to be the most popular method of enjoy ing the summer's outing. The family camping party will put into practice many fleas gained from the "soldier camps.” but there will be manv more suggestions to keep in mind to make the summer's outdoor life a success The furniture required, what eatables should he taken, the most suitable clothing the place for encampment, the plans for cooking and many other things will come up for consideration, and it will be well to have everytaing settled long before the lime Tor starting the camp. When the camp life is to last for sev eral weeks or for the entire vacation it will be of the greatest importance to choose a good location, where it is high and dry, near some lake or river, among shady trees, and, if possible, not more than a mile from a railroad station, where the mail can be receive] and fresh supplies of food laid in when needed, it need not necessarily lie very near home (unless tile men of the party must go back and forth for business), as the bag gage and supplies can be sent very cheap ly by freight, and the boxes in which tin goods are packed will be of tin- great est convenience in constructing the camn furniture. IMPORTANT FURNISHINGS. Tents, hammocks and folding chairs. Plenty of blankets, sheets and pillow covers for stuffing with straw. Fishing tackle, rifles and ammunition. Mosquito netting for tacking over tin tent door. •Pieces of old carpet or rugs. Tin wash basins, a small mirror, soap, combs an] brushes. I-dues for stretching across the tent for hanging drosses, etc. Hatchets, nails and other tools for con vening the packing boxes into cupboards, tables, etc. Two dish pans, ammonia, plenty of dish towels and enough dry fuel to last until arrangements can be made for using trees and underbrush. FOR COOKING AND THE TABUS. Take a strong tea kettle. Two iron kettles. Two iron spiders, with long handles. A tin baker for biscuit. A large coffee pot with a bale. Tin water pails and a large dipper. A good supply of strong crockery. Plain steel knives an 1 forks and plenty of large ami small spoons. Plenty of tablecloths and napkins, for there is no reason why an attractive ta bic should not be set in the woods. TAKE FOR EATAREES. Coffee and tea. White and graham flour and cornmcai. Raking powder and soda. Sugar and molasses. Condiments and spices. A large can of lard and a pot of but ter- ...iiij Ai iieans, ru*» an.l oatmeal. Salt pork and a whole h im. Lemons and pickles. Condensed milk and canned fruits and vegetables, to be used until arrangements can ■be made with a farmer to supply these frr until fresh fish can be depended upon from the streams. STIT AIi I.E Cl A )TT11XG. Stout shoes and rubbers. Eight woolen underclothing. Shade hats and cotton gloves. A warm cloak for cool mornings. A short flannel walking suit. A change of woolen dresses, and well fitting gingham dresses. And don't forget to take shoe buttons and linen thread with the other sewing materials, and to leave at home clothing that ts easily spoiled, all jewelry and unnecessary articles of adornment. When a large party plan to enjoy camp life together, nave an understan Eng be fore hand as to what arti« les each num ber of the party is to furnish, l’.uk Un clothing and the most valuable of tlie furnishings in v.-.-ll-secu!ed. light W xcs or satchels, if it is not desirable to take trunks; other articles m be packed in the large boxes and sent by freight. If boats are to lie taken or xtra lumber, these may also oe sent cheaply by freight. J»y giving notice to tin* trainmen extra room in the baggage car can erally be obtained, and the gentlemen of the party will, of urse. help in load ing and unloading the camping outfit. If possible, make arrangements in ad vance with a l'arnnr living near to cut down th- underbrush, furnish a supply of hay for hods, tin 1 to In- at the station with his team for the purpose of convey ing the luggage to its des:: nation.—Phil adelphia l*rcss.

An alarm of tire, at 3 o'clock, Thursday afternoon, called the depart ment to Winthrop street, for a blaze in the basement of the Quinn tenement occupied by John MeCSay. Smoke com ing from a window attracted the atten tion of a passerby, and the house be ing locked an entrance was forcibly ef fected. The fire seemed to be con lined to a large box containing clothes, and several pails of water extinguished all the visible llames. The chemical engine was the first to arrive at the scene and the steam apparatus fol lowed close behind and was stationed at the reservoir corner of Middle and Winthrop streets. When the depart ment arrived the room in which the fire originated bore evidence of having lieen the scene of a very hot blaze. All of the wood work in the room was blistered and the walls and ceiling were too hot to be touched by the hand. As nearly as can be ascertain ed there had been nobody in the house Blnce 1 o’clock, or thereabouts, bo that the origin of the tire is a mystery. Damage Blight. YVATERVILLE. C. A.

He and all of Ills men were completely overcome l>y the reception accorded them and tears rolled down their cheeks as the soldiers crowded around them. As Hobson and his party approached Capt. Grime's battery, the men cried out on every side to have a salute fired in their honor. Hobson protested against this Immediately and shouted to the artillerymen who bad also caught the Infection, not to lire their suns. Some of the most enthusiastic men appealed to Col. John Jacob As tor and the latter entered into the spirit of the occasion and told the men they need not obey Hobson’s orders us lie was not only a lieutenant. Hut the officers of the battery prevented the men from firing the guns, as the Span iards might have mistaken the reports for tiie opening of an attack. Assistant Naval Constructor Hobson filially reached Gen. Wheeler's head quarters where the veteran cavalry man and other officers gave him a warm welcome. ]ty this time Capt. Chadwick of tli■ New York, and the naval escort from the llagship, had reached Hobson and his men; and they were the first per sons with whom the rescued prisoners hail any previous acquaintance whom they had met since they entered San tiago harbor on their perilous mission. Capt. Chadwick and all the others took each man by* the hand and extendi d tin* heartiest greetings. The escort had brought a change of clothing, including new uniforms, for Hobson and his men and the latter were given a short respite while they changed their apparel. lfobson was also given a horse to ride over the trail to Jurugua and his men were placed in an army ambulance. Before leaving f*»r the seacoast Hull- I son was taken tt exactly ill-treat us, but it took them some time to recover from the shock caused by what most of them considered our Yankee impudence in trying to block their harbor. "As a rule tin* officers and men who came into contact with us were gruff in speech and sullen in manner. There were many threatening glances in our direction. For Admiral Cervera I have nothing but the highest admiration and j personal regard. "His act of informing Admiral Samp- j son of our safety, I regard as that of a kind-hearted, generous man and chi valrous officer. 1 expr^sed to him mv j sincere thanks and the thanks of my j men for taking this means of relieving J the anxiety of our shipmates and our j friends at home. He repeatedly spoke to me otf tin* admiration of what lr* called one of the most daring acts in naval history, though 1 am sure we were not entitled to the commendation we received, for there were hundreds of other men on our ships who would have been glad to undertake to do the same thing. “While we were in Morro Castle we were naval prisoners; but, at the end of four days, we were transferred to the jurisdiction of the army and were removed to the Keina Mercedes hos- j pi tit 1 on the outskirts of Santiago, where we remained until today. .We knew but little of what was going on in the* city, though of course we could always tell when our fleet was bom barding the shore batteries, and we could easily distinguish the terrific ex plosions caused by the Vesuvius throw ing dynamite shells. “Several times at night we were also fully aware that the land batteries were fighting outside the city. Last Friday and Saturday, it would be diffi cult to explain how anxious we were for news of the success of our side during the engagements. The little in formation the Spaniards would give us could not be relied upon. “One thing that I found out in the hospital waflfrthat a large number of Spanish officers were wounded in last Friday’s figfyt, for many were brought to the hospital to* be 'treated. Num bers of badly aimed bullets came into the hospital windows, Friday, but 1 do not believe anyone was injured by them. Our quarters were very clean and comfortable and the food was fair ly good. In fact I have no reason to complain of our treatment as prisoners of war. The prejudice which the Span iards showed against us during the first few days soon wore away. We conducted ourselves properly and sim ply forced them to treat us well. "We knew nothing of the destruction of Admiral Cervera's fleet until told liy our people, today. Of course our con finement became very Irksome and 1 cannot tell you how great was the re lief we felt to again be free. I can not express my gratitude to our sol diers who gave us such a welcome when we came into the lines. All of us are in excellent health and glad to go hack to our boats again and sec the war through to the end.” Hobson proved himself to be as good a horseman as he is a sailor. The 12 mjle gallop from the front to Jaragua was very quickly made, though owing to the delay in leaving Gen. Shatter’s headquarters, it was dusk before he arrived on the beach and took the boat to go to the flagship. The same scenes of enthusiasm were repeated upon the arrival of the men at the hospital station and at our base at Juragua. Hobson, who reached there in advance of his companions, was taken pn board the New York imme diately. The flagship's decks were lined with officers and men and as Hobson clambered up lo r side and su pped on board bis vessel, the bar bur rang with the shouts and cheers of his comrades, which were echoed by the crews of a dozen transports ly ing near by. Hobson had little to sa lu regard to biS expel ielleeS, CXei pt that be Olid hlS companions had been well treated by tlie .Spaniards and that they were all 111 excellent health.
