WHEN ALL is KNOWN.

One Who Claims to Speak by the Card
Says that When All the Facts In Con-
nection with the Hawaiian Policy Out
lined by Secretary Gresham's Letter are
Made Public There Will be a Cessation
of the Prevalent Popular Criticism of
the Administration.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-A gentleman
entitled to speak for the administra-
tion on the Hawaiian situation told
United Press representative yesterday
that when all the facts in connection
with the policy outlined in Secretary
Gresham's letter were made public,
there would be revulsion of the pres
ent popular criticism made Of the adj
ministration' course and that many
of those who are now engaged in maxi
ing bitter comment on the presidents
intention would be obliged to admit
that the restora tion of the queen is
necessary to satisfy the demands of
right and justice.
Il do not know positively" said this
gentleman, whether or not it is the
intention to make public Minister
Blounts reports, but if that be done |
can assure you the people will see the
wisdom and foresight of Mr.. Cleveland
and Secretary Gresham in the course
they have taken. These criticisms
that we see in the newspapers were
expected. They are based simply on
what the secretary of state said in his
note to the president without kncwl-
edge of the facts by which Mr.. Gresham
was guided in giving his views He
considered the whole matter carefully,
judicially and dispassionately, and he
was forced to the one and only correct
conclusion that wrong had been done
in displacing Queen Lilioukalani, and
that it should be righted. You ask
why these facts We're not made pub
lie with Secretary Gresham's letter.
Shrewd generals keep a good supply of
ammunition and the best of their men
for final assault. Do you think the
president and Secretary Gresham are
not wise enough to know this and that
they have expended all their ammuni-
tion in the secretary's letter? When
the other material at their disposal
Minister Blount's report and all-are
given to the public the critics of to-day
will find their arguments overthrown
and demolished, and the president and
his secretary of state will be vindicated
in universal approval of their action. I"
