Washington, Jan. 29-The Hawaiian revou-
ton has been the absorbing topic Of discussion
all day. In the face Of the general protest
stated 10 have been sent by the dcposcd Queen
declaring that she yielded only 10 the superior
force Of the United States, and appealing 10 the
United States to reverse its action and rcinstate
her in authority it expected that the specially
chartered steamer which brought the news OF
tho revolution would also bring some dispatch
from Minister John J.. Stevens or COnsu-Gencral
Henry w. Severance TO the State Department.
II any such advccs were brought they were
| apparently not in Geographic form, or were IN
such a shape not to be suitable for publicity
at the present time.
Secretary OF State Foster, when seen tonight,
| asserted positively that he had received no
further information. 1t was also expected that
| the commander of the Boston would have trans
United to the Navy Department some detailed
| report of his vigorous action in landing his
marines and practically taking control Of the
| revolution Both Secretary Tracy and Assistant
| Secretary Solcy however, stated tonight that
| no such report had vet been received at the
| Navy Department. The inference, accordingly,
is that detailed reports from these officers are on
| their way by mail, and may be expected TO ar
| rive in Washington about the same time as tho
annexation committee on Friday next In the
