WILL CARRY IT OUT.
Cleveland Preparing His Message
on His Policy.
Which Will Show the Hand Of Stevens
Long Before the Revolution,
Which viii Show the Hand Of Stevens

WASHINGTON, December 14.-Presi-
dent Cleveland did not forward his
Hawaiian message to Congress to-
day as was anticipated by some, and |
it cannot be learned whether it will |
be submitted for several days to
come.
The only thing absolutely known
in connection with this matter is
that he is busily engaged in writing
it and that it will contain from 250O
to 5000 words. A guessing contest
is going on as to the nature of his
recommendations, but it is not known
absolutely, as nothing definite has
yet come to the ears of anybody
outside of his own intimate advisers
as to its nature. All data in connec
ton with the correspondence have
been collected and prepared for sub
mission to Congress by both the
State and Navy departments. All
this data are now before the Presi-
dent and he is giving them some
study in order to thoroughly present
his side of the case in his message.
There is a possibility yet that he

| further and more definite news has
been received from the islands.
TO FORCE THE ISSUE.
There is a disposition, of course,
among Republicans to force the is
sue, and if the message should be
delayed as late as next Monday it is
probable a more determined effort
than has been made in the past will
be made by the Republican leaders
in both houses to force the admin
istration to transmit the informa-
ton asked for at once.
1t is intimated that the admins
tration is prepared by the evidence
that will be transmitted to Congress
to back up its plan for the restora-
ton of the Queen. Certain corre-
spondence that passed between ex-
Minister Stevens and President Har-
rison's Secretary of State is to be
used as basis in making up this
Administrations policy in favor of
the restoration of the monarchy.
STEVENS WILL SUFFER.
1t appears that Stevens is the man
who will suffer most in the evidence
that the Administration officials
have discovered in the records OF
: the Harrison Administration in
dealing with Haw~ilan affairs. 1t is
known that ore striking despatch
from Stevens to Harrison's Secre-
tary of State is incorporated in the
Hawaiian aata to be laid before
: CONGRESS-, 1t was dated Nov. 20,
8 1899. abJut two months before the
reyolution. 1t is asserted by the
y friends of the Cleveland Gresham
4 policy that this "confdential" des-
patch was an earnest and elaborate
plea by Stevens for the subversion
4 of the then existing Hawaiian Gov.
ernment and the annexation of the
islands by the United States.
, He inquired "Why postpone Anne
a 4 rica's possession2" and proceeded to
give his reasons against postpone.
ment. He advocated "bold and vigo-
: rous measures for annexation" OF
a an alternative by way of a protecto.
rate.
Then he said: (Which Of two
lines of policy and action should be
adopted, our statesmen and oul
Government must decide" and tc
o make his meaning unmistakable, he
y added, alluding to American annex
: ationists in Hawaii:
'' "We cannot refrain now from aid
i ing them with vigorous measures
: MORE STARTLING EVIDENCE.
: This is one point that will be made
against Stevens course, and Chair
man McCreary of the House Foreign
: Affairs Committee to-day told Re
] preventative Mcguire that all the
data had been read by him and that
there was even more startling evi
q dence against Stevens than that con.
@ tanned in the quotations in his des.
a patch of last November.
1t is claimed that it will be shown
that Stevens sanctioned all the plans
l. devised by the annexationists fol
the overthrow of the Queen.
