TEXT OF THE MESSAGE.
*rrrr>nc acKnowieagment and otters
tumble prayer for the continuance of
H.s favor.
The annihilation of Admiral Cer
vera's fleet, followed by the capitula
tion of Santiago having brought to the
Spanish government a realizing sense
of the hopelessness of continuing a
struggle, now become wholly unequal,
ft made overtures of peace through the
French Ambassador, who with the as-
Bent of his government had acted as
the friendly representative of Spanish
Interests during the war. On the 26th
of July M. Cambon presented a com
munication signed by the Duke of Al
modovar, the Spanish Minister of
State, inviting the United States to
state the terms upon which it would
be willing to make peace. On the 80th
of July, by a communication addressed
to the Duke of Almodovai and handed
to M. Cambon, the terms of this Gov
•rninent were announced, substantially
as in the protocol afterward signed.
On the 10th of Au;y.ist the Spanish re
ply dated August 7 was handed by M.
Cambon to the Secretary of State. It
Accepted, unconditionally the terms im
posed as to Cuba, Porto Rico and an
island of the group, but ap
peared to seek to Introduce inadmis
sible reservations in regard to ou de
mand as to the Philippine Islands.
Conceiving that discussion on this
point could neither be practical nor
profitable* I directed that in #frder to
avoid misunderstanding the matter
should be forthwith closed by propos
ing the embodiment in formal pro
tocol of the terms upon which the ne
gotiations for peace were to be under
taken. The vague and inexplicit sug
gestions of the Spanish note could not
be accepted, the only reply being to
present as a virtual ultimatum n draft
of a protocol embodying the precise
terms tendered to Spain in our note of
July 30, with added stipulations of de
tail as to the appointment of Commis
sioners to arrange for the evacuation
of the Spanish Antilles. On August 12
M. Cambon announced his receipt of
his full poweis to sign the protocol o
submitted, so accordingly on the after-
Boon of August 12 A!. Cambon as the
Plenipotentiary of Spain, and the Sec
retary of State as the Plenipotentiary
of the United States, signed a protocol.
Immediately on the conclusion of the
protocol I Issued a proclamation of Aug.
12 suspending hostilities on the part of
the United States.
Pursuant to the fifth article of the
protocol, I appointed William R. Day,
lately Secretary of State; Cushman K.
Davis, William P. Frye and George
Gray, Senators of the United States,
and Whitelaw Reid, to be the Peace
Commissioners on the part of the
United States. Proceeding in dTie sea
son to Paris, they there met on the Ist
of October five Commissioners similarly
appointed on the part of Spain. Their
negotiations have made hopeful prog
ress, so that I trust soon to be able to
lay a definite treaty of peace before the
Senate, with a review of the steps lead
ing to its signature.
I do not discuss at this time the gov
ernment or the future of the new pos
sessing which will come to us as the
result of the war with Spain. Such dis
cussion will be appropriate after the
treaty of peace shall be ratified. In the
meantime, ai#d until the Congress has
legislated otherwise, it will be my duty
to continue the military governments
which have existed since our occupancy
and give to the people security in life
and property and encouragement under
a just and beneficent rule.
As soon as we are in possession of
Cuba and have pacified the island, it
will be necessary to give aid and direc
tion to its people to form a govern
ment for themselves. This should bo
undertaken at the earliest moment con
sistent with safety and assured success.
It is important that our relations with
this people shall be of the most friendly
character and our commercial relations
close and reciprocal. It should be our
duty to assist In every proper way to
build up the waste places of the island,
encourage the industry of the people,
and assist them to form a government
which shall he free and independent,
thus realizing the best aspirations of
the Cuban people. Spanish rule must
be replaced by a just, benevolent and
humane government, created by the
people of Cuba, capable of performing
all international obligations, and which
shall encourage thrift, industry and
prosperity, and promote peace and good
will among all of the inhabitants, what
ever may have been their relations ip
the past. Neither revenge nor passion
should have a place in the new Govern
ment. Until there is complete tran
quility in the island and a stable gov
ernment inaugurated military occupa
tion will be continued.
With the one exception of the rupture
with Spain, the Intercourse of the
United States with the great family of
nations has been marktd with cor
lltlity, and the close <>f the eventual
year tinds most of the issues that neces
sarily arise in the complex relations of
sovereign States adjusted, or presenting
no serious obstacle to a just and hon
orable solution by amicable agreement.
The Xicarauga Canal Commission,
under the chairmanship of Hear Ad
miral John C. Walker, appointed July
24, 18H7, under the authority of a pro
vision in the Sundry Civil act of June 4
of that year, has nearly completed its
labors, and the results of its exhaustive
inquiry into the proper route, the feasi
bility and the <&st of (instruction of an
Inter-oceanic canal by a Niearnguan
route will be laid before you. That the
construction of such a maritime high
way is now more than ever indispensa
ble to that ultimate and ready inter
communication between our Eastern
and Western seaboards demanded by
the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands
and the prospective expansion of our
influence and commerce in the Pacific,
and that our national policy now more
imperatively than ever calls for its con
trol by this Government, are proposi
tions which I doubt not the Congress
will duly appreciate and wisely act
upon.
The United States has not been an in
different spectator of the extraordinary
events transpiring in the Chinese Em
pire, whereby portions of its maritime
provinces are passing under the control
of various European powers; but the
;>rospect that the vast commerce which
the energy of our citizens and the ne
cessity of our staple productions for
Chinese uses has built up in these
-egions may not be prejudiced through
• ny exclusive treatment by the new oc
cupants has obviated the need of our
country becoming an actor in the scene.
Our relations with Great Britain
lave continued on the most friendly
ooting. Assenting to our request, the
protection of Americans and their in
-erests tn Spanish Jurisdiction, was as
;umed by the diplomatic and consular
•epresentatives of Great Britain, who
"ulfllled their delicate and arduous
rust with tact and zeal, eliciting high
jommendation.
It will give me especial satisfaction
if I shall be authorized to communi
•ate to you a favorable conclusion of
he pending negotiations with Great
Britain in respect to the Dominion of
ianada. It is the earnest wish of this
'Sdvercment to remove all sources of
llscoid and irritation in our relations
vith the neighboring Dominion. The
rade between the two countries is con
stantly increasing, and it is important
o both countries that all reasonable
acilities should he granted for Its de
elopment.
Pending the consideration by the
'enate of the treaty signed June 16,
1297. by the Plenipotentiaries of the
United States and of the republic of
! Hawaii, providing for the annexation
of the Islands, a joint resolution to
accomplish the same purpose by ac
| ceptlng the offered cession and Incor
! porating the ceded territory into the
Union was adopted by the Congress
and approved July 7, 1898. I thereupon
directed the United States steamship
Philadelphia to convey Rear Admiral
Miller to Honolulu and intiusted to his
hands this important legislative act to
be delivered to the President of the
Republic of Hawaii,with whom the Ad
miral and the United States Minister
were authorized to make appropriate
arrangements for transferring the sov
ereignty of the Islands to the United
States.
This was simply but impressively ac
complished on the 12th of August last
by the delivery of a certified copy of
the resolution of President Dole, who
thereupon yielded up to the representa
tive of the Government of the United
States the sovereignty and public prop
erty of the Hawaiian Islands. Pursu
ant to the terms of the joint resolution
and in exercise of the authority there
by conferred upon me, I directed that
the civil, judicial and military powers
heretofore exercised by the officers of
the Government of the Republic of
Hawaii should continue to be exercised
by these officers until Congress shall
provide ;< government for the incor
porated territory, subject to my power
to remove such officers and to fill va
cancies. The President, officers and
troops of the Republic thereupon took
the oath of allegiance to the United
States, thus providing for the uninter
rupted continuance of all the adminis
trative and municipal functions of the
annexed territory, until Congress shall
otherwise enact.
The proposal of the Czar for a gen
eral reduction of the vast military es
tablishments that weigh so heavily
upon many peoples in time of peace was
communicated to this Government, with
an earnest invitation to be represented
in the conference which It is contem
plated to assemble, with a view to dis
cussing the means of accomplishing so
desirable a result. His Majesty was at
once informed of the cordial sympathy
of this Government with the principle
Involved in his exalted proposal and of
the readiness of the United States to
take part in the conference.
We desire, in common with most civi
lized nations, to reduce to the lowest
possible point the damage sustained in
time of war by peaceable trade and
commerce. It is true we may suffer in
such cases less than other communi
ties, but all nations are damaged more
or less by the state of uneasiness and
apprehension into which an outbreak of
hostilities throws the entire commercial
world. It should be our object, there
fore, to minimize so far as practicable
this Inevitable loss and disturbance.
This purpose can probably best be ac
complished by an international agree
ment to regard all private property at
sea as exempt from capture or destruc
tion by the forces of belligerent powers.
The United States Governmeint has for
many years advocated this humane and
beneficent principle, and is now in po
sition to recommend it to other powers
without the imputation of selfish mo
tives. I therefore suggest for your con
sideration that the Executive be au
thorized to correspond with the govern
ments of the principal maritime powers
with a view of incorporating into the
permanent law of civilized nations the
principle of the exemption of all private
property at sea, not contraband of war,
from capture or destruction by belliger
ent powers.
The Seqretary of the Treasury re
ports that the receipts of the Govern
ment from all sources during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1898, Including
$64,751,223 received from sale of Pacific
railroads, amounted to $405,322,335, and
its expenditures to $443,368,582. There
was collected from customs $149,575,068
and from Internal revenue $170,900,641.
It is estimated upon the basis of pres
ent revenue laws that the receipts of
the Government for the year ending
June 30, 1899, will he $577,874,647. and its
expenditures $689,874,647, resulting in a
deficiency of $112,000,000. On the Ist of
December, 1898, there was held in the
Treasury gold coin amounting to $138,-
441,547, gold bullion amounting to $138,-
502,545, silver bullion amounting to $93,-
359,250, and other forms of money
amounting to $451,963,981. On the same
date the amount of money of all kinds
in circulation or not included in Treas
ury holdings was $1,886,879,504, an in
crease fur the year of $165,794,966. Es
timating our population at 75.194.000 at
the time mentioned the per capita cir
culation was $25.09. On the same date
there was in the Treasury gold bullion
amounting to $138,502,545.
In my judgment, the present condition
of the Treasury amply justifies th im
mediate enactment of the legislation
recommended one year ago, under which
a portion of the gold holdings should he
placed in a trust fund, from which
greenbacks should be redeemed upon
presentation, but when once redeemed
should not thereafter be paid out except
for gold. It is not to be inferred that
other legislation relating to our cur
rency is not required; on the contrary,
there is an obvious demand for it. The
importance of adequate provision
which will insure to our future a money
standard, related as our money standard
now is to that of our commercial rivals,
is generally recognized. The compan
ion proposition, that our domestic paper
currency shall be kept safe, and yet be
PO related to the needs of our industries
and internal commerce as to be ade
quate and responsible to such needs, is
a proposition scarcely less important.
The subject in all its parts is commend
ed to the wise consideration of the
Congress.
The annexation of Hawaii and the
changed relations of the United States
in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
resulting from the war compel the
prompt adoption of a maritime policy
by the United States.
There should be established regular
and frequent steamship communication
encouraged by the United States, under
the American Hag, with the newly ac
quired islands, Spain furnished to its
colonies, at an annual cost of about
$2,000,000, steamship lines communicat
ing with a portion of the world's mar
kets as well as with trade centers of
the home Government. The United
States will not undertake to do less. In
my last annual message I recommended
that Congress authorize the appoint
ment of a commission for the purpose
of making systematic Investigations
with reference to the cause and preven
tion of yellow fever. I therefore renew
my recommendation that the authority
of Congress may be given and a suit
able appropriation made to provide for
a commission of experts to be appointed
for the purpose indicated.
Under the act of Congress approved
April 26, ISUB, authorizing the Presi
dent, in his discretion, "upon a dec
laration of war by Congress or a dec
laration by Congress that war exists,"
I directed the increase of the regular
army to the maximum of 62,900 author
ized in said act. There are now in the
regular army 57,862 officers and men.
The importance of legislation for the
permanent increase of the army la
therefore manifest, and the recom
mendation of the Secretary of War for
that purpose has my unqualified ap
proval. There can be no question that
at this time, and probably for some
time in the future, one hundred thou
sand will be none too many to meet the
necessities of the situation. At all
events, whether that number shall be
.•"V'i!

required permanently or not, the power
should be friven to the President to en
list that force if in hie discretion it
should be necessary, and the further
discretion should be given him to re
cruit for the army within the above
limit from the inhabitants of the isl
ands with the government of which we
are charged.
It is my purpose to muster out the
entire volunteer army as soon as the
Congress shall provide for the Increase
of the regular establishment. This will
be only an act of justice, and will be
much appreciated by the brave men
who left their homes and employments
to help the country in its emergency.
I Join with the Secretary of the Navy
in recommending that the grades of
Admiral and Vice-Admiral be tempor
arily revived to be filled by officers
who have specially distinguished them
selves in the war with Spain. There
were on the pension rolls on June 30,
1898, 993,714 names, an increase of near
ly 18,000 over the number on the rolls
on the same day of the preceding year.
The amount appropriated by the act
of December 22, 1898, for the payment
of pensions for the fiscal year of 189.8
was $140,000,000 ($8,070,872.46 was appro
priated by the act of March 31, 1898, to
cover deficiencies in army pensions and
repayments in the sum of $12,020.33,
making a total of $148,082,092.79 avail
able for the payment of pensions dur
ing the fiscal year IS9S). The amount
disbursed from that sum was $144,651,-
879.50, leaving a balance of $3,431,012.99
unexpended on the 30th of June, 189.3,
which was converted into the Treasury.
There were 289 names added to the
rolls during the year by special acts
passed at the second session of the
Fifty-fifth Congress, making a total of
36,48(1 pensions by Congressional enact
ments since 1861.
Tn the year 1900 will occur the centen
nial anniversary of the founding of the
City of Washington for the permanent
capital of the Government of the United
States by authority of an act of Con
gress approved July 18. 1790. In May,
1800, the archives and general offices ot
the Federal Government were removed
to tills place. On the 17th of November,
1800, the National Congress met here for
the first time, and assumed exclusive
control of the Federal district and city.
This interesting event assumes all the
more significance when we recall the
circumstances attending the choosing of
the site, the naming of the capital in
honor of the father of his country, and
the interest taken by him in the adop
tion of plans for its future development
on a magnificent scale. A movement
lately inaugurated by the citizens to
have the anniversary celebrated with fit
ting ceremonies, including perhaps the
establishment of a handsome permanent
memorial to mark so historical an occa
sion and to give it more than local
recognition has met with general favor
on the part of the public.
I recommend to the Congress the
granting of an appropriation for this
purpose and the appointment of a com
mittee from its respective bodies. It
might also be advisable to authorize the
President to appoint a committee from
the country ot large, which, acting with
the Congressional and District of Co
lumbia Committee, can complete the
plans for an appropriate national cele
bration.
The several departmental reports will
be laid before you. They give in great
detail the conduct of the affairs of the
Government during the past year, and
discuss many questions upon which the
Congress may he feel called upon to act.
WILLIAM McKINLEY.
Executive Mansion, Dec. 5, 1898.
GERMANY FIGHTS OUR MEAT.
Exclunion Acts us a Boomerang to Iter
Own Subjects.
Berlin, Dec. s.—The Imperial Meat
Inspection bill, which was Introduced
in the reichstag early In the session,
Is now taking a surprising turn.
The agrarians themselves, for whose
special benefit the bill was intended,
now strongly object to It, unless, as
they assert, it is greatly altered.
They find that the bill In its present
form cuts them nearly as much as it
does the American meat importers, In
asmuch as it provides for a rigid in
spection of their own meat when it is
brought to market, and for its rejec
tion or confiscation if It is found to be
diseased.
Therefore, since there Is an enor
mous amount of disease in German
cattle and swine, as shown by official
statistics and the regular publications
of the Reiehsanzelger, all this will hit
them hard unless the government will
agree to reimburse the owners of con
fiscated or rejected meats.
Strong pressure has been brought to
bear on the imperial governmtnt to In
ser ta clause In the bill providing in
demnity for domestic owners, and over
this clause a wrangle is now proceed
ing between the various German gov
ernments.
Prussia favors moderate Indemnities,
while the other German states are
nearly all against them.
Agreement on this important point
appears to be extremely doubtful, and,
therefore, there is a strong possibility
of the bill not reaching the reichstag
this season.
It is also certain that the Center,
without whose votes the bill cannot
pass, is divided on the subject. The
majority, representing the industrial
districts of the Rhine and Westphalia,
refuse to vote for any such bill.
In the meanwhile the Agrarian press
continues its warfare on all American
meat, its main organ, the Deutsche
Tage Zoitung, and the Hamburger Na
chriehtcn advocating the total exclus
ion of all American canned meats and
sausages.
In strange contrast with this is a mo
moriul about the meat famine, drawn
up by the municipality of Berlin, which
proves that the German breeders do
not raise enough cattle and pigs to
satisfy the needs of the nation and that
the systematic exclusion of foreign cat
tle and swine has lowered the quality
of the meat brought to the market and
has heightened the price to such an
extent that horse and even dog meat
has become staple with the poorer
classes in certain districts, and notably
in the large cities.
The mcmoriul also proves that the
meat consumption of Berlin has de
creased since the rigid exclusion of for
eign meats.
The German Agrarian press, on the
other hand, publishes official
statistics to show that the import of
American pork increased enormously
during the current year and may reach
the figures of 1897.
One of the largest Berlin wholesale
dealers writes to the Vossiche Zeit
ung, saying that the statement in the
Agrarian press that much of the Im
ported American flour is adulterated
is utterly untrue.
He adds that not a single case of
adulteration has been discovered" in
the Berlin market.
German dealers in America have also
forwarded to the Imperial Hygenlc
Bureau a protest against these prefu
dicial statements.

The pains of rheumatism should be
reminded that a cure for this disease
may be found ir> Hood's Sarsaparilla.
The experience of those who have
taken Hood's Sarsaparilla for rheuma
tism, and have been completely and
permanently cured, prove the power
of this medicine to rout and conquer
this disease. Hood's Sarsaparilla is
the One True Blood Purifier and it
neutralizes the acid which causes the
aches and pains of rheumatism. This
is why it absolutely cures when lini
ments and other outward applications
fail to give permanent relief. Be sure
to get Hood's.
