| WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Thers are som
important developments in the Hawaiia,
matter. First, 1t is pretty clearly indi
Gated that the administration Is not in an
way lukewarm in the matter as was at frs
supposed. Second, the action of the com
mander of the Boston, against which Grea
Britain Is about to file formal protest
has received the official approval of tn
president and his cabinet.
Several members of the cabinet have ex
| pressed themselves as being in favor of &C
cepting the annexation proposition. TIL
| matter will doubtless be considered at tn,
cabinet meeting tomorrow, but nothing
will be decided upon then, except, prob
ably, to arrange for the reception of the
| Hawaiian annexation commissioners mex

1t has been reported that President Har

Americanism, which has for its object the

and activity of this nation. His action on
| the part taken in the revolution by the
United States officials and forces may also
be regarded as proof of the correctness of
the report Although the course pursued
by Minister Stevens in ordering the Bos-
toms marines on shore was without explicit
instructions, his action has been fully sp-
proved by tbs president: In an interview
to day upon the Hawaiian situation DR..
Mott Smith said he thought dual protect
orats by the United States and Great Brit
ain over the islands would be the natural
outcome.
Zone thing Is certain" he remarked,
''the queen and Hawaii are not to be wiped
out without struggle to keep going. The
government has bsen organized for over
fifty years and has always been able to take
care of itself"
When asked If the United States refused
to annex the islands he thought England
would seize them DR.. Smith replied:
II do not think England would do any
thing in forceful way. The Hawaiian
government, however, would have to seek
an alliance somewhere. If refused annex

the former turned cold shoulder one eau
see no reason why England should refuse
to assume such.
GAS to the queen, If the United States
annexes the islsnds she would be treated
in way worthy of her station and proba-
bly, granted an allowance"
In the senate there is distinctively
American feeling on tho Hawaiian quss,
ton, which is not confined to any party
The majority of the members of the foreign
relations committee look with favor upon
the establishment of American domination
on tho islands. Senators Dolph and Hiecook
of that committee to day declared in favor
commissioners the questions are being dis
GUESSED by senator's in the committee and
cloak rooms. and to a greater extent in ex-
executive sessions. The objection to Mr..
Chambers resolution on this subje offered
to- day is not looked upon in the way of
anti-snpexstion feeling. The agreement
that the vote on the options bill should be
taken at p. m. tomorrow, and the short
ness of time intervening chiefly prevented
immediate consideration of the resolution.
Senator Chambers resolution requests
the president to lay before congress any

was to permit the house to share in the
responsibility of the disposition of the sub
iect and not to have eotiou taken in the
senate alore and behind closed doors.
Undoubtedly this ia calculated to
strengthen the proposition contained in
the resolution looking to annexation.
Mr.. Chandler says the time has
come for the United States to
annex the islands. For years they have

a self supporting autonomous government

WAS no necessity for annexation. Now,
| however, it is apparent that positive action

we want is Hawaii in the Pacific and one

need them for coaling stations and fol

The Chandler resolution will come up II
the morning hour to morrow unless some
an interesting discussion. The genera
sentiment in the house seems to be tina
the United States should annex the island
now that it has been invited to do so, blu
there are exceptions to this view.
The British government has instructed
Sir Julian Pauncefote, its minister here, t.
protest against the action of the Unite'
States officials and forces in Hawaii. TIL
protest, it is understood, will be lodge
