WASHINGTON, Jan. LEX Commits
sloner Blount went today before the
senate committee investigating the re-
latlons OF this country with Hawaii. un-
der the resolutions of Senator Morgan.
The efforts of the committee were di-
rected chiefly to securing an explana-
ton from Blout of his various acts
while IN Honolulu. He told briefly Of
his appointment by the president as
special commissioner, and said he con-
sidered the appointment within the
bounds OF propriety and the president.
The decision to have the American en-
sign taken down and the American
soldiers returned to the man-of- war
was reviewed.
Blount said he found the islands and
the government entirely under the con-
troll or protection of the United States
troops. The American flag hoated over
the government building in which the
officers of the provisional government
conducted their business. Everywhere
try upon the people of the islands.
1t was evident, Blount said, that it
would be difficult to secure an impair
tial account of sn opinion uninhuenced
by surroundings as long as this state
of affairs continued; consequently he
decided on the 31st of March two days
after arrival that in accordance with
the spirit of his Instructions and in the
interest of fair play, the flag should be
taken down and the American troops
removed. OF this decision he informed
President Dole and on the following
day April LIST ended the temporary pro-
tectorate and he had the flag lowered.
The proceeding within the scope of his
mission was an entirely proper proceed
ing under the circumstances.
Subsequent events, he said, proved
that the presence of American troops
was not necessary to preserve order or
protect life and property, either of the
Americans or natives.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The Hawaiian
dispatches are not likely be sent to con-
gress today, bat undoubtedly the
steamer which leaves San Francisco
tonight will carry final instructions to
to Willis, outlining to him his conduct
in view Of refusal Of the provisional
government to comply with her
demands. 1t is expected in congress,
these instructions will be included in
what is to be transmitted to congress.
The dispatches to Willis were the
subject of discussion by full cabinet
meeting today. 1t is expected that the
budget will be ready for congress after
the meeting. The duty copying and
comparing will take some time and
probably delay the transmission to con-
gress till tomorrow.
