| WASHINGTON, January 29-The Ha
waiisn revolution has been an absorbing
topic of discussion here all day. In the
face of the general protest stated to have
been sent by the deposed queen declaring
she yielded to superior forces and appeal
ing to the United States to reverse its &C.
ton and reinstate her, 1t was expected
that the specially chartered steamer which
brought the news of the revolt. ion would
also bring some dispatches from Minister
John L. Stevens or Consul General Henry
w. Severance to the state department. If
any such advices were brought they were
not in form suitable for publicity at pres
emit. Secretary of State Foster said to night
he had received no further information.
1t was expected the commander of the
Boston would have transmitted some de-
tailed report of his action in landing his
marines and practically taking control of
| the revolution. Both Secretary Tracy and
| Assistant Secretary Solely, however, state
| that no such report has been received.
| The inference is that detailed reports are
| on their way by mail and may arrive in
Washington about the same time as the
| annexation committee on Friday next.
Some members of the committee on for
eign relations, before whom the matter
| will eventually come, are expressing their
sentiments freely. Senator Morgan makes
no secret of his desire to acquiescs in the
request to annex the Islands. 1t is stated
| that Senator Sherman, chairman of the
senate committee on foreign matters, dur
ing the executive session yesterday, spoke
to the same purpose. Senator Butler of
Sout Carolina said to-day:
"There can be no question of the great
desirability of the islands as ooalipg
station"
Judge Chapman of Michigan, promi-
nent member of the house committee on
foreign affairs, openly favors annexation,
He says:
The Sandwich Islands are extremely fer
tile. The intelligent people earnestly fa-
vor union with the United States. As a
naval station they are vital to the United
States. This country will never amount
| to anything more than a second class pow
or so long as it wbisks around the corner
when it sees foeman approaching. Eng
land takes whatever she wants, whenever
| it may be. America must know its rights
and maintain them at all hazards"
| The possible seriousness of the matter
as involving relations with England made
= <n - Oh la- &c
of the diplomatic corps in this city felt at
liberty to speak to-day. 1t Is recalled that,
about the time the Pan-American congress
met in October, 1889, Mr.. Blaine disoov
cred that Hawaii had not been included in
the countries invited to participate, and
spoke to Mr.. Curtis, the executive officer
Of the congress, about the omission. But
Hawaii is not an American republic, he
was told. He replied:
"But it will be before long"
By bis request a resolution was intro
duced in congress and passed authorizing
the president to send an invitation to
Hawaii. The invitation was accepted and
Minister Carter acted as the Hawaiian del
egste.
When the bureau of American republics
was established Mr.. Blaine instructed that
Hawaii should be treated as one of the
American republics and it's statistics are
| included in the books published by the
bureau.
The subject of the request of the Hawaii
| an commissioners for annexation will
| doubtless be considered at the cabinet
/ meeting on Tuesday.
| SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29.-Mayor Ellert
| yesterday issued an order to the chamber
| of commerce, board of trade and other
| commercial organizations, calling atten-
| ton to the revolution in Hawaii, and urg-
| ing them to take joint action looking to-
| ward the annexation of Hawaii in the ia
terests of the country at large and of San
Francisco in particular. President Pond
called meeting of trustees for yesterday.
| The Hawaiian commissioners addressed
the trustees at length, giving history of
| the recent occurrences describing the situ-
alton at the islands and outlining their
purpose here. After adjournment the
Hawaiian commissioners refused to repeat
anything that had been said. The trustees
decided to call meeting for Tuesday, and
authorized President Pond to appoint a
| committee to inquire as to a basis of action

81 hope the people here will see tt

to-day. "For over twelve years we ha
