The Hawaiian commission, composed of Senator Cullom of Illinois, Senator Mor- gan of Alabama and Representative Hitt of Illinois, met at Chicago yesterday morn- ing, and had informal talks with a number of business men. They were given a lunch- eon by Mr. Alexander H. Revell, president of the Union League Club, where they met a number of prominent Chicagoans, Among the guests were Controller Dawes, ex-Se tor Reagan of Texas, Mr. Geo. E. Adame, Mr. Thomas B. Bryan, Mr. John J. Mite ell, Mr. William Penn Nixon, Mr. H. IL. Kohlsaat, Gen. John McNulta, Dr. William R. Harper and Dr. Harry Wade Rogers, After the coffee the members of the com- mission and others made speeches. Senator Morgan said the annexation of Hawaii would resuit in the construction of the Nicaragua canal. (Applause.) Cuba was free, Porto Rico beionged to the United States, Hawaii was annexed and the canal was unavoidable. Our flag had been raised in the Philippines, and no man in America would permit it to be hauled down. (Applause.) Not only would the Nicaragua canal be constructed, but there would be a ship canal connecting Lake Michigan, the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico, and one between New York and Albemarle sound. He was of the firm e- lief that in the next century the United States would be, by common consent, the leader of the nations of the earth. Senator Cullom said the commission would ascertain what legis!aton should be enacted by Congress for the government of the people of the islands, and they ex- pected to examine the condition of the people, their industries, the land question, labor, &c., and to look at the harbor of Hawaii, and see what ought to be done to make it a great harbor. Cullom’s Assertion. He also said the Nicaraguan canal would be built. Reférring to the war, he re- marked that the good people of the coun- try did not want a war, but did have a heart for humanity, and humanity would be benefited by the result. In conducting the war President McKinley had shcwn an ability, a quietness, a degree of wisdom and prudence that had won the esteem and admiration of every patriotic’ citizen (Ap- plause.) Mason and Dixon's line had been blotted out, and we were one people. All were in favor of one flag and the Union. (Applause.) . Representative Hitt also spoke of the certainty of the Nicaraguan canal as one of the results of the war, as was a cable to Hawaii. Ex-Senator Reagen was called on, and said it mgiht as well be written dowr that Cuba would scon be a part of the United States. The American people were inter- ested in the construction of the Nicara- guan canal, and he believed we ought to have coaling stations in Samoa, in the La- drone Isiands and at Manila. It was now within our reach to become the greatest commercial nation in the world. Acquisi- tion of territory, he said, was spoken of as being “imperialism.” It had been said that Jefferson_was the great apostle of civil lib- erty and democratic principles; yet, it the acquisition of territory was imperialism, Jefferson’ was the greatest . imperialist this country had ever produced.” McKinley Commended. The following resolution, offered by Mr. George R. Peck, was unanimously adopted: “Resolved, That we rejoice in the assured Prospect of an carly and honorable peace and in the unparalleled triumphs of our brave sailors and soldiers in the existing war. We hereby express our hearty admi- ration for and confidence in the Wise, pa- triotic and able administration of Presi- dent McKinley. He has been equal to every need, and has shown the entire werld how worthy he is to lead a great people in a great cause.” The commission left last evening for :o, whence they sail on the for Hawail. sentative Hitt was accompanied by his wife, two sons and his congressional clerk, Henry L. Hayes, secretary of the commission; Senator Cullém by Mrs. Cul- lcm, Mrs. William Barrett Ridgley of Springfield, his daughter, and his stenog- rapher, J. Castle Ridgeway; Senator Mor- gan by his son, George W.. and a private secretary. The remaining members of the party are D. A. Ray, disbursing officer; Albert 8S. Berry of Newport, K: sergeant- at-arms, and M. W. Blumenberg, stenog- rapher. BOXES FOR THE SOLDIERS. How Mail and Supplies Should Be Sent. A number of inquiries have come to the War Department from officers of auxiliary regimental organizations in the various states and territories as to the most reli- able method to follow in sending money and supplies to the men in whose honor the organizations were formed. The Post Office Department has, as far as practica- ble, made arrangements to Insure the prompt receipt of mail matter for the sol- diers by the establishment of facilities of the different camps. That intended for the men with Shafter’s army should be sent to Santiago, while that intended for the army with General Miles should bear the super- scription “Porto Rico expedition, via Wash- ington,” whence it will be forwarded as rapidly as possible to its destination. If money is to be sent the soldiers in Santi- ago or Porto Rico the suggestion is made that the best means would be by draft on New York city, as the presumption now is that business will be opened promptly be- tween financial institutions in New York and the cities taken by our armies. To send the soldier boys in the United States money drafts on New York also ean be used, as well as checks on reliable banks in the localities from which the money is transmivied. As to supplies other than that for hos- pital. purposes, the government has stead- fastly, except in rare cases, refused to yort them to the commands for which y are.intended. There is no fund avail- able for such shipment, and they should be sent by express or freight, according. to their character. The rule of the depart- ment applies alike to supplies intended either for the soldiers in the United States or those in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil- ippines. For the army in the islands or- ganizations should ship supplies by some responsible steamship company, which will guarantee their safe delfvery. This is something the government cannot do even should it consent to ship free the delicacies designed for the men, as is instanced in the case of supplies sent with Shafter’s army, some of which came back to Tampa twice without being unloaded. In the matter of hospital necessities the government will undertake to see they. reach the army, but it doés not promise to deliver them to the organization to which they are consigned. Supplies for hospitals may be sent through the army hospital headquarters at New York, whence they are put aboard ship. Regimental hospitals generally have been abandoned in the army and the division hospital substituted, which makes it impracticable for the medical de- partment to discriminate in the distribu- tion of anything sent for the men.- Articles in the line of hospital supplies are gladly received and distributed by the govern- ment. ———————_+- 2+ ____ YOUNG ROBBERS SENTENCED.

SYS FS PELLBOUND BY HOBSON Merrimac Hero Modestly Tells New Yorkers of His Exploits. Memorable Scene in the Metropolitan Opera House—Wild and Patriotic Outbursts of Enthusiasm. Lieutenant Richmond P. Hobson, United States navy, who immortalized himself by sivking the Merrimac at the mouth of the harbor of Santiago, was the magnet that drew thousands to the Metropolitan Opera Heuse, New York city, last night. General Stewart L. Woodford, minister to Spain, although just now without occupation in that capacity, was also present and made a speech, and so were William McAdoo, ex- assistant secretary of the navy, and Mrs. J. Bllen Foster, but it was Hobson the thousands went to see.gnd hear. Lieuten- ant Hobson was induced to preside at the meeting by the New-York Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Families Protective Association, which has made jt jts business to look after the families ;that have been left in destitute ercumstances by the absence of the bread winners ‘at the front, and which will devote to that end the profits of last ht’s memorable eeting. - eal torches it was a. night of patriotic exultaticn. Lieutenant,Hobson could have owned tho city;,General Woodford could have assisted him in thy cwnership; Dewey and Sampson and ; Schley and Captain “Jack” Philip, who was unable to attend the meeting, were; frantically cheered by every man jack present. It was a houseful of worshippers that, was assembled in the huge auditorium, andjthe army and the navy .were the idols. : His Mothertind Sister. © One of the hoxes, had American . flags draped over its rail, and was reserved for Mrs. Hobson and Miss Hobson, mother and sister, respectivély, of Lieutenant Hobson. Others who occupied boxes were Henry Clarke-€ce, the war relief committee of the National Society of New England Women, Mrs."’Charles L. Wetherbee, Henry »Mar- q R. Tf. Wilson, sr., W. J. Curtis and General Wager Swayne. | Brigadier General George L. Gillespie, United States army, commanding the department of the east, and several members of his staff were owe. age American flags were looped over the proscenium arch, but otherwise the auditorium wag destitute of special decoration. While the crowd was waiting for the arrival of Lieutenant Hobson, Prof. Fanciulli’s 7ist Regiment Band played a descriptive fantasie called “A Day With Roosevelt's Rough Riders.” General Wood- ford came upon the' platform a few min- utes before the lieutenant, and was im- mediately recognized, and cheered until he was forced to rise and acknowledge the nthusiastic greeting. “Mieutenant Hobs with Major Byrne and Mr. McAdoo, reached the opera house about 8:30 o'clock. They drove in an open carriage to the 40th street entrance of the building. The crowd there was not large, the reason probably being that few knew at which of the three sides of the opera house the lieutenant would enter, but it made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers, and the Merrimac hero = heartily cheered as he alighted from the carriage. Hobson’s Entrance. When the band struck up “The Star Span- gled Banner” every eye was turned toward the entrance at the stage right, where signs of the hero's approach could be seen. Al- ready Mrs. and Miss Hobson had slipped unobserved into the box reserved for them, the crowd seeming to be in ignorance as to who they were. When Lieutenant Hobson appeared, es- corted by Major John Bryne, all the en- thusiasi that had been pent up awaiting his arrival was let loose in one cyclonic burst. The lieutenant at length acknowl- edged the tremendous greeting by a grave bow. If the crowd had doubts about the ability of Lieutenant Hobson as a speaker they were all dispelled a little later. The lieu- tenant has a fine, deep, resonant voice. In speed he isa stenographer’s pride. Very rarely did he exceed a rate of thirty words a minute. Each phrase came slowly and distinctly from his lips, but every word counted. While the New York Bank Clerks’ Glee Club was singing ‘The Star Spangled Banner” the entire audience stood, but every eye was upon the idol of the hour. Major Byrne was:not:long in introducing him. In so doing he had occasion to refer to Manila. This was the signal for another outburst of frantiai elteering, the whole house leaping to its feetiand cheering wild- ly for Dewey and againrfor Captain Philip. Wild Enthdsiasm. Major Byrne closgd by. remarking that he now resigned the deck sto Lieutenant Hob- son, and as the here ofi'the Mcrrimac step- ped to the front of*the’stage the scene of unrestrained enthusfasii that marked his entrance was repeated, Flags, fans and handkerchiefs waved: in unison to the strains of “Dixie,"Cwhich was played by the band. eae Finally, when the people sunk back in their seats Lieutendnt Hobson, speaking in @ clear -and resonaiit ‘voice, sald: Ladies and Gentlemen: ‘The deck has been turned over to me, but I take objec- tion to likening this situation to the deck of~a man-o’-war. (Laughter.) As you all know, the satlor abhors words. If you fol- lowed his routine from the time he turns out in the morning until taps at night you would hear but very few words. He has the simple pipe of the whistle for most of his orders or the blast of the bugle. Even sailor, though for a brief number of years, yet long encugh to know him. Hobson Telis of Jackie. My first experience—about the only thing the sailor can talk about is a few little inci- dents and experiences of his own—was while on a practice cruise just after enter- ing the Naval Academy. One day several of the cadets were swimming toward the Constellation, which was anchored about three-quarters of a mile from the shore. Most of the cadets had reached the ship, but one of them was seized with cramps, and he sang out for a boat to be lowered to take him aboard. Immediately a rush was made to hoist out a boat, put a sailor who heard him jumped overboard to his assist- ance. Then another went overboard, then from the boom, from the quarter and from the bridge other sailors followed in such numbers that actually the captain had to give the order in stern tones, and his or- derly passed it along, that “No more men jtmp overboard!" Laughter and cheers.) I have seen the same spirit exhibited when in a heavy gale a lifeboat had been called for. It was with the same old Con- stellation. She was running free before half a gale, with close reefed topsails, when a man fell overboard. Without wait- ing to bring her to the wind, so that the launching would be easier under the ship's le@, the life crew lowered the boat. It was a comrade of mine they were seeking to rescue. He fell from the crosstrees and struck the water apparently lifeless. While the lifeboat was getting away she was swamped by a heavy wave, and it was no longer a question of saving one man, but Seven. Another lifeboat’s crew was called away. It was not necessary to give the order for the call. ‘They were already there. It was not necessary to muster the crew. Each man was in his place, and they lowered the lifeboat without hesitation. (Cheers.) The Merrimac. This was my first introduction to the ac- quaintance of the sailor, he whom we call “Jackie.” A number of years passed, and every year of association with “Jackie” confirmed the first conclusion I had drawn of him, and recently, friends, I had had oc- easion to see “Jackie” where he was sor taxed. I feel that certain features of the recent incident in which ‘Jackie’ played his part so well should be referred to. It is known that when the call was made for volunteers to go on the Merrimac—(vocifer- ous cheers and cries of “Three cheers for the hero of the Merrimac!"’)—literally the men fell over each other in their eagerness to volunteer. (Renewed cheering.) The list on the New York ran aboye a hundred, and the Iowa sent over the signal that’ 140 would volunteer, before the order was Passed that no more volunteers were need- ed. When the few out of this number had been assigned to stations on the Merri- mac, the direction was given to them to lie flat on their faces alongside the particu- lar piece of duty they had to perform. Two were stationed by the anchor gear, and others by the torpedoes, while two were in the engine room. The directions were that no man should pay any attention to the fire of the enemy. It was agreed and understood by all that they should not even look up over their shoulders to see where the firing came from; that, ‘as the shots fell, they should pay no attention to them. If a man was wounded he was to give no attention to it, but to place himself in a sitting-kneeling posture, in a posture so that when the signal was given cacn man, if wounded, could perform his simple duty; and, friends, they lay there each man at his post, until the little duty of each wes performed. Obedient Sailors. And I may tell you that five out of the seven torpedoes that were attached to the ship had been shot away, the steering gear had also been Shot away, and the pro- jectiles that were being huried at us came More as a continuous stream than as indi- vidual projectiles. Yet those “jackies” lay there without moving, each one ready to do his duty as he had been instructed. Then again, when the duty was done and the boys had assembled at the rendezvous on the quarterdeck when the vessel began to sink slowly, because there were only two remaining torpedoes of the seven, the other five and the starboard quarter anchor having been shot away, to be exploded to sink the ship, the sailors remained there without stirring. For ten minutés the group stood there, amid, a perfect rain of horizontal fire from the enemy’s vessels in the harbor and from the batteries, when it was only a question of death in the next projectile; or the next, or the next, or else of being struck with some of the fragments. They stood quietly on the deck grinding underneath them. This single order was given: “No man move until further orders:” If there was ever a moment when the order ‘every man for himself,’ jump overboard, get away from this, was justifiable, it was at this time. But not a man budged. (Prolonged cheers for “jackie.”) A few minutes later when this same group was in the water, clinging, with their heads just above water, to the catamaran, when the enemies’ picket boats came peering around with their lan- terns, in the endeavor to find something living, when the impulse was strong to give up and swim to the bank, the same order was given, “No man move until further or- ders,” and there for nearly an hour these men stayed—every one. Praises Cervera. When that afternoon, the same after- noon of the sinking of the Merrimac, by the kindness of the gallant commander-in- chief of the Spanish forces, Cervera— (cheers)—the effects of the sailors were brought off from their ship by a boat that went out under a flag of truce to tell of their safety, one of the men in distributing these effects was allowed to come over to my.cell. This man—Charette was his name —was spokesman of the others, and, after referring to what they had been through during the night, he said: “ would do it over again tonight, sir!” (Tre. mendous cheers.)

New, friends, if you will draw the proper ly types of the whole fleet; if you will propexty look upon this little incident of the Merrimac as a simple indication of the material in the fleet, whose whole person- willing and ready to do any work or duty, sees be its end; when you make this proper deduction and consider these little features which I hav related, you will get an accurate and more or less complete idea of the American sailor. (Loud cheers.) The Ameriean Soldier. dow in Santiago I was able to see the ad- vance of all our troops. My cell overlooked the Spanish intrenchements. I had seen them plfint their artillery and dig-their trenches. On July 2 the battle opened, and | into play, the individuality of a soldier who has never been under fire, and who believes that probably the next shrapnel will take him away. I noticed that more rapid firing set in after that little pause, and a more rapid rush was made up to the trenches. One line was followed by another, and six assaults I counted, until the trenches be- came ours. In spite of the flanking artil- lery we had taken those trenches by un- supported infantry. (Cheers.) His Impressions. And now, friends, I have little further to say. The sailor cannot go out of his ex- perience with his tongue, but I really feel that I must refer to subsequent impres- sions when, after being exchanged, I passed through our lines. I would examine the countenances of individuals as we passed along. I was introduced to the offi- cers, and spoke to the men. I found that many of them were citizens, men who had left ease, many of them; men who had left personal responsibilities at home, men who had left under conditions that would entail enormous personal sacrifices to come out on this campaign in a trop- the rainy season, with the of the enemy | i iin i
