More Information Wanted BY the House
A despatch to the Examiner is as

WASHINGTON, February 16.-The
Senate subcommittee on Foreign
Affairs, which has been conducting
the Hawaiian investigation, will meet
to. morrow, and important action is
anticipated. Chairman Morgan will
submit his report to the committee.
Inside Information is to the effect
that the burden of testimony taken
is strongly adverse to the Admins
tration. The investigation was ex-
haustive and as much latitude as
possible was extended to both sides,
the purpose of the committee being
to ascertain the exact truth. The
testimony antagonistic to the posi-
ton Of the Administration is said to
be so overwhelming as to render IL
difficult for even the most accom-
plished Administration supporters
to make up ease for President
Cleveland.
at has been shown in the com
mittee that Captain Wiltse was COM
PEELED to land the troops Of the Bos
ton, not on account OF the request
OF Minister Stevens, which he was
not compelled to respect, but by re-
ports received by him from his own
officers, whom he had sent ashore to
investigate the situation, aud four
hours be. ore he received the request
from Stevens to land troops he had
made all preparations to land them.
at was also shown that foreign
residents, not Americans, in the
absence Of forces OF their own nation
in the harbor, had drawn up a re-.
quest to Captain Wiltse To land
troops, and asked his protection, and
| that this request was withheld
merely because il was discovered
that the troops were being landed
before II could be delivered, and II
became unnecessary.
1T is known that Mr.. Morgan
fully understands the situation, and
il is said that his private conclusions
arc in accordance with undisputed
testimony. Whether he will deem
il good policy to entirely disregard
all party obligations aud treat the
subject merely in a judicial way, or
whether he will consider this hurt
full aud prefer to take q negative
position, or even attempt to help
Cleveland out of his embarrassment,
is what no one can ascertain in
advance OF his declaration to the
committee"
