The two points are closely related in a military aspect and the definite re- pulse of the Spaniards at Guantanamo by so small a force is likely to create a senti- ment akin to panic among the bottled-up forces at the larger city when the real army of invasion, nearly twenty thousand strong, reaches the scene of operations. —__—_+ ¢ = —___.

Washington Dispatch to New York ‘Tribune, ‘The friends of annexation were jubilant when the result of the vote was announced, and they gave free vent to their joy. The opponents of the resolution found nothing to excite their enthusiasm except the state- ment of Mr. Dalzell, Speaker pro tem., that if Speaker Reed (who was absent on account of a slight illness) were present he would vote in the negative. When they applauded this statement Mr. Boutelle re- marked in an aside which was loud enough to be heard in the galleries that as that was the first time Mr. Reed had ever voted or expressed a desire to vote with “that side” they ought to feel good over it. As for Mr. Boutelle himself, he had a right to feel good over today’s victory, It was he, it may be remembered, who led the opposition to the anti-annexation policy of President Cleveland, “Paramount” Blount and the democratic majority in the Fifty- second Congress, and gave Speaker Crisp nd his supporters more than one bad quar- of an hour. Times have indeed changed then, and for the better, so far as te since the prospects of Hawaii are concerned. —____ see The Sugar Trust in the Sennte. From the w York Journal. A majority of 118 in a total vote of 300 ought to silence for good those opponents of a large and rational national policy who affect to believe that the movement” for the acquisition of the Hawaiian Islands is not popular. Representatives in Congress are excellent judges of public opinion. Now it remains for the Senate to take up and pass the Newlands resolution, which has gone through the House so triumphant- ly.

The Spanish losses appear to have been heavy, while in this skirmishing the Americans were spared from death or even serious wounds, thopgh a @uban soldier fighting with them was killed.
