Claus Spreckels talked in Phila-
delphia about the prevalent idea that
Blaine intends to spring definite
policy with regard to the expansion
of American influence. This was
what the country expected of Blaine
and the expectation was heightened
by the Samoan incident, but it was
Mr.. Spreckels' opinion there would
be no annexation of the Hawaiian ISL
ands. He did not believe Secretary
Blaine intended to annex any terri
tory, but if the United States want
ed the islands it was not within the
power OF any country to wrest them
from her. They had coaling sta
ton at Honolulu and at Pearl river
one of the finest harbors in the
world. Should war break out they
would want such harbor, and it
would never do 10 let the Hawaiian
Islands 90 into the power of any
other country.
The consideration of the Pearl
Harbor matter by the Secretaries of
States and the Navy has drawn at
tention anew in Washington TO legis-
lation for the protection of the in
terests of the United States in the
Pacific. Shortly before the close of
the last (fftieth) Congress, an ap-
preparation of $500, 900 was made TO
be distributed by the President for
the protection Of American interests
in Samoa. The fund was somewhat
of confidential nature, and pos
sibly a detailed report of its expen-
diture will not be given. So far as
known the only payments out of it
have been for the expenses OF the
Samoan commission 10 Berlin, the
cost of sending home the shipwreck-
ed sailors from Samoa, and the pur-
chase of presents to reward Samo-
ans for help given in the hurricane
at Apia. Nothing has been ex-
pended of the separate appropria-
ton of 500, 600 toward establishing
coaling station at Pago-Pago.
Hon. II. A. 2. Carter, Hawaiian
Minister, has returned to Washing
ton from his visit TO Honolulu. In
an interview he stated that he had
not yet formally presented any pro-
positions to the Secretary of State,
but he expected to do so. The pro.
positions as he then outlined them are
all in the treaty memorandum pre-
viously published in Hawaiian and
American papers.
