and the military branch busily engaged
in preparing an expedition to bo sent
against Porto Klco, thero is now nothing
for the navy to do hut to wait patiently
for the troops ut Santiago.
One report has como from Sampson
telling of engagements between Ameri

made officially of any subsequent night

It is realized at the department that
the situation of the marines is a very

is assured there is no real danger in the
situation, because if seriously threatened
by overwhelming force, the marines can
retreat to the American warships, where
they will be in perfect safety. It is
mainly sentiment embodied m the de
termination to keep the American flag

THE HAWAIIAN
DEBATE FINISHED
The House Ready to Go on Kccord Re
yardinc the Hawaiian Matter.
Washington, June 15. The house
met at 10 o'clock this morning to re
sume and finish the Hawaiian debate.
A vote on Rowlands' resolution will be
taken this afternoon. The resolution,
according to estimates today, will it
ceive, with the exception of not more
than 12, all the Republican votes, and
will enlist the support of from 15 to 20
Democrats and members of other
parties.
The senate bille granting American
register to the ships Specialist and
Unionist were passed. Fitzgerald, dem.
Mass., spoke against the Newlands reso
lution. In ttie course of his speech lie
emphasized the failure of the majority
of the Hawaijaus to express their desire
relative to annexation. He insisted
that every power had a right to the gov
ernment of their choice. Fitzgerald op
posed annexation on tho ground that it
would be injurious to the labor element,
which would be brought in competition
with Hawaiian labor.
Supporting the resolution Berry, Dem
ocrat, devoted much time to showing
that annexation was in line with Demo
cratic policy. He reviewed the terri
torial additions to the original states to
show that practically all had been made
by the Democrats.

AHERIC1 AT THE
BIG FARES FAIR
Assistant Secretary Cridler Says the
Space Allotted to the United States
is a Very Good One.
Washington, June 15. Reference is
made in a report by Thomas W. Cridler,
third assistant secretary of state, upon
the Paris exposition, to an inquiry by
the exposition authorities as to whether
the Americans could furnish the elec
trical power to light tho whole exposi
tion and run all the machinery. This
would require 30,000 horsepower, he
said. Mr. Cridler took the matter un
der advisement, with a view to securing
the opinion of electrical experts in the
United States.
Mr. Cridler says there are two salient
features in the general scheme of tho
exposition. The first is its admirable
situation in the center of Paris; the
next the embellishment of that part of
the Seine connecting the extremities of
the exposition which will recall to the
visitor's mind a modern Venice, and
which by its splendor and magnificence
will contribute to surpass all previous
expositions in Paris. At one extremity
the Trocadaro and at the other the
Champs Elyssee will be connected by an
immense maratime boulevard of decora
tive water craft spanned bv fmir large
bridges.
The space secured for the UnitedStates
will be a hall of general manufacturers
and bouseholdjfurnishinge, 24,390 equare
feet; in the mines and metallurgy 7680
square feet; in the thread, textiles and
wearing apparel, 13,003 square feet; in

square feet; educational and liberal arts,
11,471 feet, and chemical industry 5160
