llolisoii, the liiival hero,
l'p to a In t o hmir this afternoon neither
of the anxiously awaited messages whk'h
were to announce the arrival of the trans

either the war or navy departments. "
Wiis not doubted, howevvr, that our vea

A direct report from the licet oautiut he

not iliiuhted that lust about the tltne

will nol he known, however, oitlclally for
two or three days.
It Is iiicHllincd here whether with
force to hack him Dewey will feel .Insti
lled In assaulting Manila or even In (in
cepting lis surrender. Hither course would
Involve a responsibility for the admiral
and It Is extremely desirable that no pre
text be nfforded the Jealous Kuropcan
powers for Intervention at Manila under
Iho guise of protecting the Interests of
their subject!.. Therefore It may bo that
Admiral Dewey will wait for another P'n
days until a second Installment of troops
reaches finite. In this case he will prob
ably land the troops that arrive In the
town of I'nvlte. which Is now completely
under the control of himself and Insurg

Since the iKUiibardnu nt of the rlty Slay

unrest, uneasiness and uncertainly as to
what Is to come next, as It was ton
clearly evident that matters will not rest
Ionic In statu quo. Where and when the

Washington, June W. The discussion by
the senate of the euestlon of Hawaiian
annexation was begun today In open ses
sion. At the very opening of the question the
opponents of annexation quite unex
l'ctcdly scored a point by preventing a
y.st and no vote or. taking up tho reso
lution. When Davis, chairman of the
iiiuitnlllec on foreign relations, called up
the resolution, the vice president, as usual,
announced that without objection, the
resolution would be considered. .o objec
tion being made, he declared the resolu
tion to bo before the senate.
Whlto favored th, friends of annexa
tion the opportunity they had been await
ing, rlu moved to adjourn, and like a
Hash Davis demanded llle yeas and noes.
Tho vote upon the motion, which was a
test of strength between the friends and
opponents of annexation, was defeated
decisively, 44 to 13. Having gained his
point In developing tho numerical weak
ness of the opposition, Duis readily

the recruit to arrive.
Morgan City Idaho battalions and the

A tviHirt has been frequently circulated
around army headquarters that General
Merrltt will divert the course of the ves

will mako this move In order to place him

The capture of Santiago de Cuba may

While there Is not much anxiety here
concerning I'.en. r.il Shafur and his army,
there Is a un.versal desire to hear of his

Thts officer said the

The I'niled States forces will be superior
as much for the reason that they are feel

( a race. The war department still keeps
I secret the exact o!ih of the landing of
the military expedition to Santiago. It
may be at the tlrst h.ubor. and It may
be at the east. Some suggest that there
is reason to believe that both the east
and west approaches may be made. The
early reports from General Shafter fol
lowing his landing and observation ot
the situation are expected to give the
department an idea of the probable dur
ation of the campaign. The commander
will also instruct the department as to
whether plans already adopted are suf

If not. a sufficient number, whatever it

THE FOURTH MAN1UV FLEET.
(Associated Press Dispatch.
Siiu Francisco, June 20. The fourth
fleet of transports to convoy troops to
Manila will probably consist of the City
of Puebia. ue here on the 21st Inst, from
Puget Sound: the Perum, due on the 24th
from Hong Kong; the Alameda, due from
Australia and the Acapulco, now on 'he
way from Panama, and due on the 2!th
Inst. They will bo pressed into service
If necessary. To these may be added
the Northern Pacific's company s steam
ers Victoria and Olympui. now at Seattle.
Roth these vessels have been granted an
American registry and are therefore
available as troopships. Combined this
fleet will accomodate all the troops that
will bo left at the camp, so that ships
will only then be repulred for further
drafts of soldiers.
