The campaign was prosecuted with great vigor, and by the 12th of August much o' the Island was In our,posses sion, and the acquisition of the remain der was only a matter of a ahort time. At most of the prints In the Islsnd, our troops wcr.- tnhuslastlcally welcomed. Protestations of loyalty to the flag and gratitude for delivery from Spanish rule met our commander at every stage. As a potent Influence towards peace the outcome of the Porto Rican expedi tion was of great consequence and gen erous commendation is due to those who participated in It. The last scene of the war was enact ed at Manila, its starting place. On August 15. after a brief assault upon the works by the lnd forces. In which the squadron assisted, the capital sur rendered unconditionally. The casual ties were comparatively few. By this the conquest of the Philippine islands was virtually accomplished when the flpanlsh capacity for resistance was de stroyed by Admiral Dewey's victory of the first of Mav was formally sealed. To General Merritt, his officers and men, for their uncomplaining and dsvo «.... vice, and for their gallantry in action, the nation Is sincerely grateful. Their long voyage was made with sin gular success, and the soldierly conduct of the men, most of whom were with out experience In the military service, desires unmeasuerd praise.

I Th - \n-aratfui canal cnrmnlasbm. un. J der th* chalrman*lii|> of Rear Admiral John O. B'alkcr,'appointed July 24. IW7. under the authority nf a provision In the sundry civil act of June I. of that year, hits nearly completed Its la bors. and the result* of Its exhaustive inquiry Into th* proper rout*, th* feaal : blllty and the cost of construction of inn lnt*r-oce*nic canal by a Nicurairuun ! mute will b* laid before you. In the performance of Its task the commission received all possible courtesy and as sistance from th* yovernmenta of Nlc -1 nra*ua and Coats Rica, which thus tea j tilled tholr appreciation of the Import | ance of irlvlnsr a speedy and ptactlcal 'outcome to the arrest project that has for so many years emrrossed the attention of the respective countries. Aa the scope of the recent Inquiry embraced the whole subject with th* aim of making plana and survey* for a | canal by the most convenient route. It [ necessarily Included a review of the re suits of previous surveys and plans.and ; in particular those adopted by the Mar itime canal company, under Its exist -1 In* concessions from Nicaragua and , Costa Rico, so that to this extent these grants necessarily hold as eaaential ! part In the deliberations and conclu slona of the canal commlaalon as they have held and muat needa hold in the | discussion of the matter by the con j (press. Under these circumstances and I in view of overtures made to the gov- I ernments of Nicaragua and Costa Ri co by other parties for a new canal con cession predicated on the assumed ap proaching lapse of the contracts of the Maritime canal company with those states. I have not hesitated to express my conviction that consideration# of expediency and international policy as ! between the several governments In terested in the construction and con trol of an Inter-occanlc canal by this route require the maintenance of the status quo until the canal commission shall have reported and the United Statca congress shall have had the op portunity to pass finally upon the whole, matter during the present session with out prejudice by reason of any change In the existing conditions. Nevertheless It appeers that the gov | rnmont of Nicaragua, as one of Its last sovereign acts before merging Its pnwers In those of the newly ,'ormed United States of Central America, has granted an optional concession to an other association to become effective on the expiration of the present grant. It does not appear what surveys have been made or what route Is proposed under this contingent grant, so that an examination ol the feasibility of Its plans Is necessarily not embraced In the report of the canal commission. All ! these circumstances suggest the *r- j . gen'-v of some definite s-ticn by lb* i I ’-'.rig fees at the session 17 the labors of j -- ■ f *4# ft*## ##« t# Pm ### iftft tftftft | ftftft « iftft ft 41 IftftwCl | ft## #9ft -■■■ «ft ft* ft# ft Iftft**##* ##• ftNfaft* tft ft# Pm <*m* t%ft-- it# *m»m* •** ■’ HHftt est MftMft ft | T#ftf tftftftlft ftiftft (ft##* •tftft'* ' t »#» 4|fi#ffti#ftftM#'ytft I# fftft# KftUftiftt# ft## •zzzz dEteirsur, ■ #| t# m* ♦ * Ptppmmmm #t it# lift*#ll «ft #ftftil.ft9 •#* liifftftlft **»ft *♦♦## ; MHM Amt aft'# ft ftfttft 111 IftjjilftftPfaft Ift j cA9 #ft 11 ft*fan *- lift# jf" *■*■'*■ ft## ftl It# |#t* I * K|« 4 ftfl.ftiftft ##4 *%*M6ft# I tAlAh* T~-nf- ti tfa> t 1 ftf*# (ftp w><4AAik<ft|M(R» • . it#Mt ItmitJti# fr--f I#©- ftf |ftp | I MtMftktfttft' .#>> ft ft# iiift ifafa# Hilt tft t#*f j #a4 *•*+ 11 ft fttiiri miiftftr-* Afftfti #f lH* wpiNk*' t%e ***** ftt«ft Pm im Aft* **# 1 4 lift j jiltm ftAftift# ‘,*rnpmm* Ift# m&* mmm* ilAf In# - Ilf Aft r * ftf- i. m t Alft * #»#■» i nififtft ft* ♦Afftl •!■#•* ft Wtl ; ,* NAff*''# 1 # -wf Ufa© #*||ftfl*ftA ' fAw t*ft*fA4 tfiAft ft#t AA ft" iUftNPftt ppmmPPtm *4 III# #ftttftft#4lii* •tt iiAfttA *• tl># i^fttUN*## »##tftA< t ill (Iff# VMtftt*. f f%Af fftlftttftftA ft I* A ft#AA* |t#f*ftlft ftAt# « nt ttijii Aft tft# wfawfti fftwtiftt j ftftM#ftKit#Mi ft# mm fft#Mfftt* tit# i*ftiAfa« tt#A | rt ft ftwltrrtftr aa# *A#*9 Hilftfti* *a mtmmmrn |i*A4lriMi it a# AAMmut Pf lA* ftffftftft-Atft Aft 4 rftftiiWAf' fftfftft'ftft ■ tAlttftft #f HtftAl Urtt AIA, ft tft* WM tft#*f ’ A* Iftft I# Afftt Af4*#ft« ttftAt #WA lA#l aft# Afaftl > Ift HftlA ftviA »IHlA*fAtfttf A I fftAt ft# afftift ft fn fftAft# At IMA At* iMira |a |ft» tamtAftrw nf Hr* Rama#*** A*f maftoMyt iawml At AftftlWMlft 4# *m. fttft-Ar ftftfHftftl* ftp# Ift aflfaf fttAlUl ! ’ nntaftgfat ftpfftl*# a Hft ftftt-tfflMf nfl ftA rlf»# Ift# 9*### #4 I ft# I fMI ftAA AlAl' **'# - *_ ||_ Mfif mrt j»f Affttt tut, f#»f “ • Uftffil |A A l*€UAl ftiitf At tft# tftian —‘ fttAA ftnftMrftift#ftt At**H#4 f#rtlßl#ft fftt tft# mmmp «vs far «%nia* r«Um tft# #r#Ai la fa »• 9<i tft# AllAfttft lYltl Ay mmy of fftr «*ana#»#«» rmftAta an# tft# St. rlirr.

P»t*. I thereupon directed the United State* steamship Philadelphia to ron vey Rear Admiral Miller to Honolulu and Intrusted to hi* hand* this Impor iant legislative act to be delivered to , llic President of the Republic of Iln ■ wall, wih whom the admiral and the United States minister were authorised to make apr-roprl*** arrangement* for transferring the sovereignty of the Isl ands to the United State*. This was i simply but impressively accomplished on the 12th of August last by the de livery of acertlflcd copy of the resolu ' Hen to President Dole, who thereupon yielded up 10 the representative of the i government of the United Slates the sovereignty and public property of the : Hawaiian Islands. I Pursuant to the terms of the joint re solution and in exercise of the author ity thereby conferred upon me, I direct ed that the civil. Judicial and military power? therefore exercised by th» offi cer* of the government of the republic of Hawaii should continue to Is* exer cised by those officers until congress shall provide a government for the in corporated territory, subject to my power to remove such officers aud to till such vacancies. The President, offi cers and troops of the republic there upon took the oath of allegiance to the United Stat-s, thus providing for the uninterrupted continuance of all Hie administrative and municipal functions of the annexed territory util congress shall otherwise enact. Following the further provision of the Joint resolution, I appointed the, Hons, flhelby M. Cullom of Illinois, Jno. T. Morgan of Alabama, Robert R. Hitt of Illinois, Sanford B. Dole of Ha waii. and Walter F. Frear of Hawaii, a* commissioners to confer and recom mend to congress sueh legislation eon eemlng the Hawaiian Islands as thev should deem necessary or proper. The commissioners, having fulfilled the mis sion confided to them, their report will be laid before you at an early day.
