Tho position of tho United Statos hardly
needs outiposts like tho Sandwich Islands md
San Domingo to strengthen It strategically. III
decd, such remote dependencies would 10 n
so1,roo OF weakness, requiring large forces to de-
fon1 thona sn casa Of WAY, with naval power
like Gront Britain, and not giving lib sufficient
compensation to Offset this drain. Moreover. it
would seem Just IA well to solvo the problem Of
government offered by tho numerous savage
Tribes Of tho West, and by some OF the lawless
States Of tho South, boforo attempting more
| ambitious experiments with tho Kanakau Of tho
Sandwich Islanda aud tile Spanish uegrooH aud
half-breods Of San Domingo :-DuDalo cypress.
1t WIS no other than John ". Forney who
| cried hnlt! when tho san Domingo project was
| 11o tl,on advised tho Administration to giso up
all hopes Of the islands, annexation, or 1T least
to abandon tho project for tho time boing. Since
then ForaoY soenA to have becor , n convert to
tho manifest destiny" policy. He now wants
| to sec tho Sandwich Islands made part oi the
United statos. Perhaps Forney has hopes that,
in tho oycnt OF tho annexation, Cameron and
his crowd could 10 persuaded to omigrate.-Buf-
