This position is in accord with the doc

The actual strength cd the United

land operations is understood To be- not
more than 800 officers and men. but this

REFERS TO BLoUNT's REPORT.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IA gentleman
not allowed to speak eC c0thedru for the
administration on the Hawaiian situa-
ton told the United Press reporter to-
day that when all the facts IN connec-
ton with the policy outlined in Sccre-
lary Gresham's letter We're made public.
there would be a revulsion of the pres
aut popular criticism of the administra-
lions course. and that many of those
who are now engaged in making bitter
on the Presidents intenHDn
would be obliged to admit that the res
.OratiOn OF Queen LiiiuOkalani is neces-
'ary to satisfy the demands of right and
Justice. Il do not know positively" !
