HARD TO BACK WATER.
The Cabinet POstpOnes the ReOrgan-
izatiOn of Hawaiian Government.

WASHINGTON, July 2i--The Cabinet
spent some time to-day in discussing the
latest phase of the Hawaiian situation and
the formal recognition of the new republic
Of Hawaii by United States Minister Will
lis. 1t was felt that the Minister had been
little precipitate in so committing the
government Of the United States without
first consulting the Department Of State,
as is said to be customary in such cases,
and as was done by the British commits
sioner, Mr.. Wodehouse. Still. the general
opinion was that the Minister'S action was
only premature. as the United States would
ultimately be obliged to accord recognition
10 the new government, which appears to
have been organized in the usual and reg
ular course. 1t was reported to the Cabi-
net that there are now on the way from
Minister Willis mail advices setting out in
detail what he has done and his reasons,
and therefore the decision was reached to
take no action in the matter until this
matter comes TO hand.

BALTIMORE, July 2i.-Under the cap

all the more dastardly because bis posi-

United States to be bandying words with

facts as they are given by those who are
intimate with the circumstances. One day

tor German. asked the President to send for
Mr.. German and talk with him about the
tariff bill, assuring him that il was ms

German came. The interview instead OF be-

calm and quiet possible. The heroics or
Mr.. German in declaring that nothing but
sudden death could prevent his making mis-
speech against the President did not occur:
The President did not request him not 10
make the speech, nor did the Senator give
Mr. Cleveland any idea of the character Of
the speech he was going TO make, telling
him only that he was going 10 make a
brief statement of facts. No one was more
surprised at the tenor OF the speech than
Mr.. Cleveland.
but, more than anything else. the Pres
ident was astonished at the conduct of the
Senators upon whom Mr.. German called
for confederation. In their remarks i'm the
Senate they sought to make ii appear that
the President had abandoned his advocacy
of free iron and coal. Whatever was done
by the President in this connection was
done at the earnest solicitation OF the Sen

much stress upon the form of the bill as
IL passed the Senate. He was assured, and
he believed, that the defects would be cured
in the conference committee. Ii was the
Presidents earnest desire all along to get
