Mr. Charles l.. Carter. one Of the
commissioners appointed 10y the
Provisional Government Of Hawaii

name that after the lowering Of the
American llag. which had been hoist
eel Uvcr Hawaiian public buildings.
Secretary Gresham stated positively
that thn administration had no in

such chang:
hr. tartCr's statement quoted 10y
ia" Call affords another of the many
iIstauce, in which prominent men
II tho =. G.. have unwittingly given
evidence 10 prov" tho ialsity OF as
sertiunS mace on their own side
The fnitrhuod in this case is the
charge that the Administration had
prcjudgrd the Hawaiian question

Commissioner Blouut was scnt here
Newspaper readers know how in
dustriously this charge has been
circulated sine" th" publication oI
