A GRATEFUL NATION

American People Callei Upoi to Give Thanks. PROCLAMATION BT THE PRESIDENT. Citizens Asked to Express Their Gratitude for Recent Viotorles, to Pray for Further Successes ucil for Return of Peace. Washington, July 7.—President McKinley at 11:40 Wednesday night issued the following proclamation to the American people: “To the People of the United States Of America: At this time, when to the yet fresh' remembrance of the unprecedented success which attended the operations of tl. s United States fleet in the Bay of Manila on the Ist day of May last, are added the tidings of the no less glorious achievements of the naval and military arms of our beloved country at Santiago de Cuba, It Is fitting that we should pause, and, staying the feeling of exultation that too naturally attends great deeds wrought by our countrymen In our country’s cause, should reverently bow before the throne of Divine grace and give devout praise to God, who holdeth the nations in the hollow of His hands and worketh upon them the marvels of His high will and who has thus far vouchsafed to us the light of His face and led our brave soldiers and seamen to victory. T therefore ask the people of the United States upon next assembling for Divine worship in their respective places of meeting to offer thanksgiving to Almighty God. who, in His inscrutable ways, now leading our hosts upon the waters to unscathed triumph, now guiding them in a strange land through the dread shadows of death to success, even though at a fearful cost, now bearing them without accident or loss to far-distant climes, ha's watched over our cause and brought nearer the success of

the right and the attainment of Just and honorable peace. “With the nation’s thanks let there be mingled the nation’s prayers that our gallant sons may be shielded from harm alike on the battlefield and in the clash of fleets and be spared the scourge of suffering and disease while they are striving to uphold their country’s honor; and wdthal let the nation’s heart be stilled with holy awe at the thought of the noble men who have perished as heroes die, and be filled with compassionate sympathy for all those who suffer bereavement or endure sickness, wounds and bonds by reason of the awful struggle. And, above all, let us pray with earnest fervor that He, the dispenser of all good, may speedily remove from us the untold afflictions of war and bring to our dear land the blessings of restored peace and to all the domain now ravaged by the cruel strife the priceless boon of security and tranquillity. WILLIAM M KINLET. “Executive Mansion, Washington, July 6, 181*8. ’’ Tl»e Spanish Prisoners. Washington, July 7. —Sampson has been directed to send his prisoners to the United States. Possibly the Harvard will bring some of them. The St. Louis is tilled with wounded soldiers and cannot be used to convey the Spanish sailors. The enlisted men and non-commissioned officers among the prisoners will be sent to Portsmouth, N. H., where they will be confined on Seavey’s island in the harbor. Orders for the immediate preparation of that place for the reception of the prisoners are going forward. The commissioned officers, from Admiral Cervera himself dow*n to the ensigns, will be sent to Fort Warren, Boston harbor, where they will be turned over to the army for safe keeping. Ready to Exchange Hobaon. Sampson did not report at the navy department, but the war department sent over a very agreeable message from Shafter announcing the readiness of the Spaniards to exchange Hobson and his men. It is believed that this was accomplished some time during the day. though notice of it has not been received. Heat News of the Day. Secretary Long regarded the report that the Alphonso XII. had been destroyed while trying to run the Havana blockade as the best news of the day. It had not come to him In any direct official way but through a report from Gen. Ureely. chief signal officer, who had received a cipher message stating briefly that the Spanish ship had been overhauled near Mariel, while trying to get through the blockade and was a total loss as a result of the fire upon her. Both the secretary and Gen. Greely regarded the report as authentic, but there was a desire to get fuller details. *

Will Lead Fourth Expedition.

San Francisco, July 7. certain that Brig. Gen. Miller will head the fourth expedition to the Philippines, which is now expected to start next Monday or Tuesday on the steamera Peru and City of Peubla.

AFTER THE SINKING OF CERVERA’S SHIPS.

CALLED BACK.

Camara’s Squadron Said to Have Been “ Ordered to Retnra to Spain at Once. A Gibraltar, July 7.—According tp dispatches received here from Madrid, the Spanish government has ordered Admiral Camara to return to Spain. Madrid, July 7. —The authorities kept the disaster to Adiniral Cervera’s squadron a secret as long as possible, and even suppressed the extra editions of the newspapers giving 'the facts. The official confirmation, therefore, caused a tremendous impression, particularly in naval and military circles, where the government is accused of ordering Admiral Cervera to make a sortie, despite the known opposition of several naval experts. The troops are confined to barracks, as disorders are feared, but up to ttxis hour there have been no disturbances in Madrid or in the provinces. Madrid, July 5. via the frontier, July 7. —The enthusiasm aroused by the misleading dispatches to the Spanish government from Cuba is changed into the wailings of the families of the victims and lamentations of the national disaster. The ministers are crestfallen and are still concealing the worst. The extremity of despair, rage and recrimination prevails among the population and the authorities are adopting strong precautions, fearing popular outbursts. A government crisis is imminent and it is regarded as probable that Senor Silvela or Marshal Martinez de Campos will succeed Senor Sagasta as premier and propose peace in order to prevent the Americans from attacking seaboard cities of the peninsula and ruining Spain.

LAST ONE IS GONE.

Sinking of Reinn Mercedes Disposes of Sole Surviving Vessel of Cervern’s Fleet. Headquarters of Gen. Shafter, Tuesday, July 5, by Dispatch Boat Dandy, via Port Antonio and Kingston, Jamaica, July 7. —The destruction of the Spanish cruiser Eeina Mercedes last night (Monday) accounts for the last ship of Admiral Cervera’s once splendid squadron. She lies in plain view, her bow resting on the base of the beach under El Morro. Part of the hull is above water and her masts and two stacks are entirely out of water. It is not jet known whether she attempted to escape from the harbor or whether the Spaniards tried to sink her near the hulk of*the Merrimac and thus block the entrance, to prevent the Americans from getting in. Her sinking was most dramatic. Just after midnight she was seen drifting slowly out of the narrow* entrance by one of the American scouts. In a moment the fleet was ablaze with signals and almost instantly an awful hail of shells was hammering down uoon her. It is not known whether she returned the fire, but the shore batteries opened and one six-inch shell fell on the Indiana’s forward deck, exploding below. The explosion occurred in the men's sleeping room but all were at quarters and no one was hurt. No other American ship was hit during the engagement—or incident—which lasted only a few* minutes.

SHOT THEM DOWN.

Fate of Spnnlah Prisoners on Hoard the Harvard Who Tried to Escape. Headquarters of Gen. Shafter, Tuesday, July 5, per Dispatch Boat Dandy, via Port Antonio and Kingston, Jamaica, July 7.—About 50 of the 400 Spanish prisoners on the United States auxiliary cruiser Harvard, attempted to escape Monday night. In some way a number of them secured guns and made a wild dwelt for liberty from the steerage where they were confined. The-ir rush was met by the deadly bullets of the guards and six were killed and 15 wounded. The firing ended the mutiny. No Americans were hurt.

All Will Recover.

Key West, Fla., July 7.—The doctor in charge of the hospitals here says that the wounded men who arrived Tuesday from Cuba are improving as well as can be expected and that all will recover.

Elected Chairman.

Chicagc, July 7.—Charles S. flannels, of Jacksonville, has been elected chairman of the Illinois republican atate central committee.

STANDS TWO TO ONE

r Hawaiian Annexation Passes Senate by Vote of 42 to 21. ———————— READY FOR PRESIDENT’S SIGNATURE. [ ' ’’ -v AU Amendments Are Defeated Fall Text of Resolotton Which Makes Hawaiian Islands a Territory of the United States. Washington, July 7.—The annexation of I 1 Hawaii is now accomplished so far as the i legislative branch of the government Is | concerned. Quite unexpectedly the resolu;lons providing for the annexation of the Islands were brought to a vote In the senj ate late Wednesday afternoon, and they ! were passed by the decisive vote of 42 to 21. | The vote was as follows: Yeas—Allison, Baker, Burrow's, Cannon. Carter, Clarxe, Culiom, Davis, Deboe, . ElKins, Fairbanks, Foraker, Frye, Gallinger. Gorman, Male, Hanna, Hansbrough, Hawley, Hoar, Kyle, Lodge, Mcßride, McLaurin, Money, Morgan, Ne.son, P^nronse, | Firkins, Pet.tus, Platt (Conn.), Pritchard, Proctor, Sewell, Slioup, Sullivan, Teller, War-en. Wellington, Wetmore, Wilson. W oleott—l2. Nays—Alien, Bacon, Bate, Berry, Caffery, Chilton, Clay, Daniel, Faulkner, I Jones (Ark.), Lindsay, McEnery, Mallory, Mitchell, Morrill, Pascoe, Pettigrew, Ko&ch, Turley, Turpie, White —21. Early in the session of the senate conferences of the leaders on both sides of the chamber were held, and a tacit agreement was reached that a vote should be taken to-day or Friday. The opponents of annexation had concluded their arguments, and as they had no desire to keep the senate in session by purely dilatory ta«tics, they announced their willingness tiiat a vote should be taken as soon as Senators White, Pettigrew and Allen had finished their speeches. Neither Senator White nor Senator Pettigrew spoke at great length, but Senator Allen thought when he began that his speech might occupy the remainder of Wednesday and a part of tQ-

day. However, he concluded to eliminate a part of the matter he had prepared, and at 4:la he completed his speech. The Voting Bcgltia. • It was evident Instantly that a vote was at hand. The word was passed swiftly through the corridors and committee •rooms, and In a few minutes every senator at the capltol was In his seat. The galleries filled rapidly, and members of the house of representatives, learning that a vote was to be taken, came hurriedly to the senate side of the great marble pile to witness proceedings that will be historic. The test vote came on an amendment offered by Senator White (Cal.). It was offered with no expectation that It would be adopted, but merely to place the Ideas and opinions of the opponents of annexation on record It was rejected by a vote of 4 f) to 20, Indicating that the annexationists were strongly in the majority. Amendment after amendment was offered, but the advocates of the resolutions stood solidly togetner, gaining, rather than losing, strength on the successive votes. The Final Vote. Finally at 5:30 p. m. the resolutions themselves, in “precisely the form in w hich they were received from the house of representatives, were reported to the senate and the roil call began. Intense Interest was manifested by eveiy spectator. Not s sound was to be heard in the chamber except the call of the clerk and the responses of senators. When the vice president announced the vote by which the resolutions w*ere passed a tremendous wave of applause swept inrough the galleries, which the vice president made no effort to check. Those who had advocated the resolutions expressed their pleasure by shaking hands with one another, and on all sides evident relief was shown that the end had come. For a few* minute* so much good-natured confusion existed that the dignity of the senate was threatened, but Vice President Hobart quietly reminded senatots that the session was not yet at an end. Analysing the Vote. Senator Jlorrill (Vt.) was the only republican who voted aguinst the resolutions. ulthough Senators Thurston (Neb ), and Spooner (Wis.) were paired against them. Six democrats, Senators Gorman (Md.), McLuurln (S. O.), Money (Miss) Morgan (Ala.), Pettus (Ala.) and Sullivan. (Miss.), voted in favor of annexation. On the face of the vote cast for the resolutions the treaty of annexation might huve been ratified, the resolutions having a twothirds majority, but as the 12 pairs would have been arranged on a basts of two votes for one If the treaty had been urider consideration, the vote of the full senate on the treaty, on the basis of Wednesday ’s vote, would have been 56 to 33, not a suffi- ! dent number of votes In favor of the treaty to have ratified It. Other Business. A sharp discussion was caused early in ! the session by the Introduction of a reso- ' lutlon tendering the thanks of congress ! to Commodore Schley Tor destroying Admiral Cervera’s fleet. The resolution was sent to the naval affairs committee. The senate concurred tn the house amendment to tha general deficiency bill, thus passing the last of the appropriation measures. The Resolutions. The joint resolution which passed the senate providing for the annexation of Hawaii was originally introduced In the house by Mr. Norlands, of Nevada, and passed that body June 16. Two days later It wai reported favorably to the senate. Its full text is as follows: “Whereas, The government of the republic of Hawaii having in due form signified Its consent. In the manner provided by Us constitution to cede absolutely and without reserve to the United States of

Land Laws. "The existing laws of the United State* relative to puuilc lanas snail not apply to sucu lanas in the nawunan laianas; but the congress of tne Ulnitea states shall enact special iaws tor meir management and alsposmou; proviueu, that oil revenue from or proceeds ot the same, except as regaras suen part thereof as may be used or occupied for me civil, military or navai purposes of me uuited States, or may be assigned tor tne use of the local government, snan be used solely for the benefit of tne innabitants of tne Hawaiian islands for educational and otner public purposes. "Uqtu congress sfiati provide for the government ot such islands all the civil, judicial and military powers exercisea by tne officers of the existing government in said islands ,shall be vested in such person or persons and shall be exercisea in such manner as tne president of the United States snail direct; and the president shall have power to remove said officers and ml tne vacancies so occasioned. “The existing treaties of the Hawaiian island* with nations shall forthwith cease and determine, being replaced by such treaties as may exist, or as may be nereafter concluded between the United States and such foreign nations. The municipal legislation of the Hawaiian island* not enacted for the fulfillment of the treaties so extinguished and not Inconsistent with this Joint resolution nor contrary to the constitution of the United States nor to a.ny existing treaty of the United Stateg shall remain in force until the congress of the United States s>hall otherwise determine. "Until legislation shall be enacted extending the United States customs laws and regulations to the Hawaiian islands the existing customs relations of the Hawaiian islands with, the United States and other Countries shall remain unchanged. Assume Public Debt. “The public debt of the republic of Hawaii lawfully existing at the date of the passage of this Joint resolution, including’ the amounts due to depositors in the Hawaiian postal savings bajfic, is hereby assumed by the government <Jf (he United States: but the liability of the United State* in this regard shall in no case exceed $4,000,000. So long, however, as the existing government and the present commercial relations of the Hawaiian Islands are continued as hereinbefore provided said government shall continue to pay the Interest on said debt. Chinese Barred. "There shall be no further Immigration of Chinese into the Hawaiian islands, except upon such conditions as are nbw or may hereafter be allowed by the laws of the United States; and no Chinese, by reason of anything herein contained, shall ba, allowed to enter the United States from tha Hawaiian Island^. “The president shall appoint five commissioners, at least two of whom shall be r { 11 nts of the Hawaiian islands, who shall, as soon as reasonably practicable recommend to congress such legislation concerning the Hawaiian Islands as they shall deem necessary or proper. “The commissioners hereinbefore provided for shall be appointed by the president. and with the advice and consent of the senate. "The sum of SIOO,OOO. or so much thereof as may be necessary, is appropriated, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, and to be immediately available, to be expended at the discretion of the president oT the United States of America, for the purpose of carrying this lolnt resolution into effect.” Adjournment In Sight. Washington. July 7.—lt is believed that congress will adjourn Friday or Saturday. The passage of the Hawaiian resolution and the general deficiency bill, both of which will go to the president to-day, leaves no legislation of general importance to be considered of which there la hope of passage at this session. In the house the international bank bill and in the senate the bill allowing volufijejrs to yote may be pressed, but It Is hot believed that a quorum can be obtained for any business that would lead to prolonged debate. Unobjected business will no doubt be considered and some military bills may be brought forward. There are quite a number of nominations pending In the senbut those to which there Is any objection are not likeiy to be acted upon. Senators and representatives are anxious to get away, and the belief among the leaders is that final adjournment will occur Friday.
