FOR ANNEXATION
OF HAWAII ISLES
An Amendment to the War
Revenue Bill.
Reported Baltimore ''Explos
ion" Was an Old Fake.
SECRETARY LONQ DECLARES
HE HAS NO NEWS FROM
THE FLEETS OFF CUBA.
WASHINGTON, May 26. Senator
Lodge has offered the Newlands reso
lution for the annexation of Hawaii as
an amendment to the war revenue bill.
Senatorial friends of annexation de
clare that henceforth the two measures
must travel together.
BALTIMORE IS ALL RIGHT.
WASHINGTON, May 27. The stories
circulated at Madrid and elsewhere re
garding an explosion on the Baltimore
are evidently groundless. The dispatch
received at the Spanish capital from
Manila apparently referred to the al
leged disablement of the Baltimore dur
ing the battle of Manila when a Span
ish shell struck her and exploded some
ammunition, slightly injuring eight
men on board.
Secretary Long said, on the way to
the cabinet meeting, that up to that
time he had not received official con
firmation of the report that the Span
ish fleet is in Santiago harbor and that
Schley was lying in wait at the en
trance. He had, however, no reason
to doubt the accuracy of the state
ment, beyond the fact that several days
had passed and the fact had not been
officially confirmed.
The Navy Department, having- wait
ed as long as dignity seemed to require
fur news from the squadrons, it is be
lieved it has now taken steps to secure
it through its own inquiries, and con
sequently it may be expected at any
moment that some scouting vessels will
bring news of the squadron to one of
the cable stations, probably in Hayti,
for transmission to the Nay Depart
ment. There was a revival this morning of
the rumors that Gen. Miles was about
to depart on a trip to Tampa. As a
matter of fa t there is just as much
foundation for this statement today as
during any day in the past week. The
commanding general has a special car
for himself and staff lying in the rail
way station in this city ready to start
at a moment's notice for Tampa. He
himself has been anxious to depart for
many days past and has been restrain
ed only because the conditions are not
ripe for the movement. When that mo
ment arrives the start will be made,
but whether it will be tonight or a week
hence, is absolutely not known at this
m oment.
"VOLUNTEER IMMUNES.
The War Department has issued a se
ries of general rules for the examina
tion of applicants for commissions ir.
the United States volunteer infantry
of immune regiments. Applicants will
be examined with reference to their
mental, moral and physical fitness to
hold a commission and perform the du
ties of commissioned officers in an in
fantry regiment.
In determining fitness the board of
examiners will give due weight to the
following: The nature and extent ol
the applicant's military education. Tlu
time, if any, the applicant has lived ir
tropical climates and the general na
ture of his experience in such climates.
The facility with which the applicant
can speak foreign languages, if at all.
particularly Spanish.
The examining board will also give
due weight to the following: Military
experience of the applicant, if any. The
ability of the applicant to take proper
care of himself and the men committed
to his charge under all conditions, so
far as the same can be judged by the
experience and record of the applicant.
Theability of the applicant to command
men, so far as can be judged by ex
perience and record.
The examinations will be competitive,
but the board of examiners is to pass
upon the qualifications of each appli
cant and recommend to the adjutant
general the army rank which may
properly be conferred upon such appli
cant. LITTLE ROCK, May 27. The Second
regiment of Arkansas volunteers has
been ordered to proceed immediately
to Chickamauga. Governor Jones is
overwhelmed with applications for per

Buncombt Toaehors Askod to Attond
tho Toaehors' Assembly.
In a circular to the teachers and
school officers of Buncombe county
public schools, Supervisor D. L. Ellis
says:
"It Is "now fully decided that the sum
mer schools will be established at four
or five points in the county, to be in
session four weeks, beginning about
June 20.
"Doubtless it is known to you that
the North Carolina Teachers' assembly
meets 1n Asheville June 14-18. We must
attend in full force.
"It is my wish to show the Assembly
every teacher in Buncombe county, in
a body, on Thursday, June 16. I shall
esteem it a great honor if I may lead
this noble army of teachers and com
mitteemen into the presence of North
Carolina's visiting educators, and prove
to them that we are the "banner coun
ty" in progressive, popular education
in the State."

CUTTING TIIE TELEGRAPH CABLES
A TH KILLING incident of the war,
which gave to forty sailors and ma
rines a chance to show their mettle, is
the subject of an illustration repro
duced today from Harper's Weekly,
drawn by one of the Weekly's artists
with the blockading squadron. Part ot
the duty of this fleet is to sever all tel
egraphic communication between Cuba
and Madrid. Three telegraph cables
ran out cf the harbor of Cienf uee:os. on
the southern coast of Cuba, ami orders
to cut these were at once received b
the commanders of the cruiser Marble
head and the gunboat Nashville. vh
are maintaining the blockade nf that
port.

and to his remarks on capital and l;i
bor. "Most people," said Mr. Pack, "have
fallen into the way of speaking of la
bor and capital as though they were"
distinct, and, often, antagonistic forces,
while they are. in fact, one and the
same thing, under different forms; for
capital is only labor saved up."
"More years ago than it is neces
sary to tell." continued Mr. Pack, "a
short time after I had reached the age
of 21 years, I acquired my first capital.
I worked very hard for 11 days at sur
veying and judging a tract of forest
land, carrying a blanket and my food
on my back, and sleeping on the ground
at nignt. For this Job I received $22 in
cash: and I have been a capitalist ever
since!"
COMING ROAD RACE.

Dunham's, Asheville Cycle company's

"Maceo Volunteers."
It is contemplated that the new com
pany of colored men being formed by
Thomas L. Leatherwood will be named
the "Maceo Volunteers." An enthusias
tic meeting to further the interests of
the company was held last evening. So
far 20 men have announced their de
sire to enlist.
The work of organization is being
pushed, and colored men in any of the
towns of Western North Carolina are
ivited to enlist. These are-requested to
communicate with Thomas L. Leather
wood, Asheville, N. C, at as early a
date as possible.

cables looked dangerous. In order to
reach shallow water, where the cables
could be seen, it was necessary for open
boats to run close in to the shore, and
there the men would have to grapple
and hoist each cable, and take a section
out of it with a pipe-cutting machine,
which is a laborious task. The beach
along the harbor is low and covered
by a dense growth of high grass and
weeds. A fortified light house stands
near the shore, behind which, as well
as hidden in the tall grass, were known
to be a large number of rifle-pits and
some masked machine-guns.
I'nder these circumstances Com
mander McCalla of the Marblehead de
termined to call for volunteers, and in
was the prompt and complete and final
refusal to fuse with the Populists.
Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
committee on platform, read its report,
recommending that the convention
adopt the following resolutions in re
spect thereto:
"Kesolved, 1. That the propositon for
fusion submitted by the Populist com
mittee be, and the same is hereby, re
spectfully declined.
Resolved, 2. That the Democratc
State executive committee be, and the
same is hereby, instructed to entertain,
no further proposition for fusion."
The burst of cheering which followed
lasted a half minute. The resolutions
were adopted. Only three or four nays
were heard.
The platform is long. It ratifies the
last national platform; denounces the
Republicans for passing the Dingley
tariff bill; favors an income tax; de
nounces the Republicans for defeating
the Teller resolutions, and for its de
termination now to issue bonds; de
mands that the-seigniorage be coined;
urges that greenbacks or treasury notes
be issued to meet the expense of the
war; deplores the war, but pledges its
support to the government in prosecut
ing it to a successful conclusion; favors
the union of silver forces in the Con
gressional elections to carry into effect
Chairman Jones' letter; commends
Bryan's great and gallant fight; de
nounces the extravagance, incompe
tency and corruption of the present Re
publican State administration; de
nounces the laws of the last two legis
latures, turning cities and towns over
to negro domination, and pledges the
enactment of such laws as will be a
security to property and to the people.
It also denounces the placing of a ne
gro committee on the board to super
vise white schools; opposes the removal
of cases from the State to the federal
courts, and favors legislation to pre
vent it. It favors a fair and Just elec
tion law and the rule by" the white
men of the State. It condemns free
passes, and favors the election of Uni
ted States senators and the railway
commissioners by the people.
The Superior court judges recom
mended by the district conventions
were nominated-
A prominent Republican said at
noon: "Senator Butler is in a trade
with us right now."
Congressman Fowler was Butler's
personal representative here during the
convention. He left for Washington
today. He would only say: "I am not
disconcerted."
The new State executive committee
did not elect a chairman, but request
ed Clement Manly to continue to act
as such until June 28.
The convention adjourned sine die
at 11:20 last night.

in two cutters and two launches, the
latter carrying a one-pound gun apiece.
Under a brisk fire from the rifle-pits
the men in the cutters rowed steadily
to a point about 90 feet from the shore
and commenced operations on the ca

guns in the launches behind them, as
well as by a vigorous shelling of the
rifle-pits by the Marblehead and the

KEY WEST, May 27. A Spanish
steamship, thought to be an auxiliary
cruiser, was sighted by the Wilmington

last night. She is being chased by the
Bancroft.
The ship chased by the Bancroft was
a three masted steamer, and apparent
ly a merchantman of large tonnage.
She had one smokestack. No doubt is
entertained of her being a Spaniard, be
cause, when the Bancroft put after her,
she steamed away at full speed. It is
believed the vessel is a Spanish auxil
iary cruiser on scout duty.

were kept at the oars in each boat to
hold her in position, while the others
grappled and cut the cables. The bul
lets splashed like rain, and several of
the men fell from their seats, killed ano
wounded. They succeeded, however, in
cutting two of the cables and were at
work on the third when Commander
McCalla, fearful lest the heavy mus
ketry fire would sink the boats, sig
nalled them to return.
The 40 men had been for two hours

marily turned off by the sentry. No
further attention was given to the inci
dent until last night, when, between 10
and 11, a sergeant of the artillery
guards discerned three men a few
yards ahead of him. Almost simulta
neously with the discovery they opened
fire upon him with pistols. Three bul
lets whizzed harmlessly past the ser
geant, the fourth lodged in the fleshy
part of the left arm.
The three men turned and fled out of
range. The sergeant fired several shots
after them and then went for the guard
A sharp lookout was kept for strangers
and soon after midnight a suspicious
noise was heard outside the gate near
which the mortar battery is Ideated.
Investigation resulted in the discovery
that a carriage was in front, just out
side the gate. The sergeant gave or
ders to fire, and a volley was sent at
the vehicle. A moment later three men
were seen running up the street, and
the fire of the soldier was directed upon
them, but the suspects escaped.
The sergeant declares that, on the
occasion of the last visit of the stran
gers, one of the latter carried a suspi

long. The sergeant, who was the prin

strangers is Charles W. Richards, bat
