ing the present, but In many proceeding administrations.
Upon the nature of the answer to the Spanish overtures for peace
would depend future policy of the United States, for It would detenu I tie
whether the nation would embark on a policy of world- Ide expansion, or
content Itself with expelling the Spanish Hag from the western hemis
phere and proyidlng what may bean ample guarantee for the extension of
our trade It the east. One cltlcal point affecting the future of the Phil,
ipplnes Is tnat caused by the observation of the amenities or diplomatic ex
change. Washinuton, July 29. The cabinet has reached the following decisiens:
The absolute surrender of Porto Rica Jto the United States, the recognition
of the Independence of Cuba, the cession of one of the Lad rone hit nds as a
coaling station, and the cession to the United States of at leant a coaling
station In tho Philippines. The question undecided Is what disposition will

Cuba, leaving the disposition of the Philippines and other Islands in that
quarter subject to further negotiations. The present aim Is to maintain a
coaling station In the Philippines and to buildup there an American city,

Spain, An answer will probably be made this afternoon. It Is certain Spain

decision has not yet been reached, but the United States will ask a port and
some territory,

motive of the Spanish note, and that this note Is the beginning of the end
and it Is practlca lly certain that the general terms the government will

not be assumed by this government.
NO AKMISTICE BUT AN ULTIMATUM.

Hawaiian Islands.
Honolulu, July 29. The citizens
have subscribed $15,000 for the day's
celebration and the most Important
event tn the history of the Islands
with a maghlflcence worthy of occa
sion. Stcameis to other Islands having
already spread the news of annexation,
scenes occured similar to the one in
Honolulu. Preparations were at
once made In all the towns toolllcallly

postage stamps, which arc to be of
value In a few years.
The banks have commenced to use
the war revenue -tamps on checks
and drafts, a consignment having
been sent down,
After the receipt of the newsof an
nexation, President Dole said to the
Associated Press correspondent.
"I think the status will go on just as
It Is now until congress has had time
to tlx It permanently. I feel confident
that all Hawuilns who are voters now
will continue to be so, I think that
legislation by congress will be slow.
There will be some hesitation about
making radical changes.
"I have strong hopes that the land
policy will not be interrupted. Con
gress will most probably pass a sup
plementary act, which will allow our
land system to go on. Senator
Morgan said when he was here that
the system we have for us Is better
than the American system, and Mor
gan U one of our best friends,
"The ncw6 of the annexation' con
summates the efforts and the main
policy of the present government from
the time when It was Initiated as
'provisional' through the time when
It was recognized by the great htates
of the earth to the time when It has
been received Into the bosom of the
greatest republic, and one of the
most powerful states that the world
has ever known."
The council of state has pardoned
more than 200 prisoners, mostof whom

agreed to allow the planters to Import
2175 Japanese laborers. Most of the
men will be for new plantations. The
planters are In doubt as to the stand
Japan will take now that Hawaii is a
part of the United States. Some be
lieve her officials will not allow any
further Immigration to this country.
A memberorthe cabinet was asked
what effect annexation would have
on the Japanese Immigration muddle,
and what was I to present status,
The reply was that the whole matter i
had been transfeered to Washington I
some time ago, and that It was prob- '
able that the Hawaiian authorities
would have no more of It.
Mr. Shlmamura, the Japanese min
ister, left, for Yokohama on the 14th.
Several months ago he applied for
leave to yislt his homo. Ills request

therefore, has no political significance
whatever, though he ays that an
nexation will do away with the min
ister resident and allow Hawaii only
a consul general.

issued an Important circular In which
he gives an Interpretation of the last
clause of section 20 of the new revnue

spec! flee for any ailment, as having
any special claim to merit, or as
having any peculiar adyanfage In
mode of preparation, quality, use or
effect.
Any medicine will be hold to be put
up In stylo or manner similar, etc,,
when the package, wraps, label, bottle
or container resembles In one or more
particulars any make or brand ofpat-
cnt, trademark or proprietary medi
cine in general."
For example, the use of a trademark:

or tho use of any name immediately
following tho name of the medicine.

to he advertised on the package or
otherwise as having any special claim
to merit or to any peculiar advantage
