stitution, go any further than he has gone,
But cannot undertake to say what Cleye-
land will do"
Senator Allison felt that there was some
doubt about the correctness Of the report,
but said: 'If it is true great mistake
has been made, and the whole business
! must end in fiasco. for the President has
| said he would not use force"
Voorhees, thought the blame for the
whole trouble began with the previous
administration. He said the people cared
nothing about the Hawaiian question, He
considers Stevens the responsible man,
and believes he was engaged in a con-
Spiracy six months before the revolution
took place to Oust the Queen and annex
the Hawaiian Islands. The Senator said
he would not hesitate to go before a jury
and convict him of conspiracy, and felt
confident that he would succeed "If," be
added. there was some powerful Govern
ment behind Hawaii. as Spain was back of
Cuba when certain Americans attempted
to seize that island, the consequences
might be as serious for The conspiratOrs in
this instance as in that"
ID Ill Of New York declined to enter in TO
any discussion of the report as it stands
wait until we know ali about it," said
he, and, after thinking a moment, added,
IF IL should prove true | fear Hawaii
would displace the election bill in the
Senate discussion next week"
McCreary, chairman of the House For
eign Affairs Committee, still refuses to
credit the news that Willis has made a
formal demand on the Provisional Gov
ernm ent to surrender the authority to the
Queen. "In my OPINION" said he, "the
status at Honolulu so far as action on the
part of our Minister is concerned is un-
changed. The President has submitted
the whole question to Congress. and there
| is no doubt in my mind that he fully a6-
heres to what he said in his message"
Professor Alexander, the Hawaiian gen.
tleman who was before the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations for two days.
was at the Capitol this morning when the
confirmation of yesterdays Associated
Press cable concerning the situation in
Hawaii was received. He was greatly in
terested in the news and said it was not
different from what he had expected. II
don't see what more Willis can do" he
said. THE President has Instructed him
not to use force. and he certainly will not
disregard those instructions. There is
danger Of a clash. however. and that is
the critical point at present The Queens
adherents will be embroidered ov this
action on the part OF Willis and are likely
to do something ut any moment to cause
bloodshed. and there is no telling what
the result would be if one person should
| be killed.
The Provisional Government is firmly
entrenched, confident of the support of its
armed force and strengthened bv the con-
viction OF just cause. 1t will stand out
against any encroachment upon its author
| ity, whether from the United States or
others. Furthermore it feels that it has
the support of the great mass of people of
this country. Thurston is there and has.
of course, been able to furnish President
Dole and his supporters with a correct
idea of the feeling OF the people of Amer
lea. This will be very re2Ssuring 70 them
and will go long way toward encouraging =
the present Government to stand firm.
The report from San Francisco that
the Mohiean is preparing for au immediate
/ trip TO Honolulu is denied at the Navy
Department. The Mohican and the Ranger
were ordered to get ready for sea about
| the same time. The Ranger was dis
| patched TO Central America several weeks
ago and the Mohican has been ready to
/ put to sea on short notice, but it is sald
| that she will not at present go to Homo
] iuIU.
