ANNEXATION.
President Cleveland and Secretary
Gresham Reported In Favor of 1t.

Gresham Reported In Favor of 1t.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-President
Cleveland and Secretary Gresham are
in favor of the annexation of Hawaii.
Annexation of the Pacific islands is tc
be part OF the policy of the present
administration. This announcement
is unofficial, but may be accepted with
out question. 1t is correct.
President Cleveland and Secretary
Gresham did not hastily reach the con.
clusion that it was their duty to favor
the annexation of Hawaii. They con.
sidered the matter fully and carefully.
looked into all collateral questions as
to the past policy OF the government,
the attitude of other powers and the
future governmen ent Of the islands.
Their conclusion was that annexa.
ton is the only way out of the present
dilemma But they are not in favor OF
annexation in haste, as Harrison was
nor do they favor treating with pro-
visional government that may not be
able to uphold itself.
They very early perceived the impro'
priety of negotiating annexation with
a government that was maintained vir-
tually by the force of American arms
and the presence of American men-of-
war in the harbor of the foreign capital
which it is proposed to incorporate
within the United States Hence, Com
missioner Blount was sent to Honolulu.

time and means of abandoning the pro-
tectorate and throwing the provisional
government upon its own resources.
If the provisional government shall
be able to maintain it's authority unas'
sisted, and in the autumn still demands
annexation with this country, Presi
dent Cleveland will be ready place the
matter before congress with favorable
recommendations President Cleve
land and Secretary Gresham have mo-
been unmindful of the fact that the
proposed annexation as we'll as the rev
olution which preceded 1t had thei
origin in the greed Of the sugar specu
lators, particularly In the machination
OF Claus Sprecaels That was one rea
son why the present administration de
| sired to 60 about the matter deliberatel.
and carefully and with all facts before it

broadening of the national policy, tn
