Washington. Dec. 27.-Solne new and interest
ine information relating 10 the present attitude
OF the Administration toward Hawaii has come
to light. This intelligence will heightcn pubic
condemnation Of the President and Secretary
Gresham and further demonstrate their stub
bornness and lack OF patriotism in dealing with
a matter OF so great Importance 20 this country.
The course of the Administration in Hawaiian
affairs, is wei known. has been opposed 10
the best interests Of the United States from the
start. II was bad enough to regard the report
Of Paramount Dlount fairly representing
;He Hawaiian situation. and later To conspire
against the existing Governments Of the Islands
for the restoration Of the dlssoiute Iiiiuoalani.
The past schemes of the Administrator have
been farclcal in character and fortunately in
cfec;ual in execution They have served. how
ever 10 show the bias and weakness o. the
Administration.
Having failed so disastrously in Their mon
archical programme. and incidentally improved
Englands position at the expense OF the best in
,erests of this country it seemed only reasonable
TO expect that Mr.. Cleveland and his Secretary
Of State would the folly of their past course
and adopt one more in accord with American
sentiment and requirements. Information at
hand shows that the Administrations present
policy in Hawai-. is 10 be one of absolute indiffer-
ence and contempt. This negative policy. if the
course determined upon can be dignified by such
q word Is injurious the previous
active schemes against the welfare Of the Pro-
visi0nal Government. Its effect will be to in
Vite disorder. further foreign cupidity, and
to induce. perhaps, actual interference by for
eign Powers in the affairs of the islands. Mr..
Cleveland has decided that Hawaii is TO be
ignored completely. and any and all moral or
physical support to the existing Government is to
be withheld. whatever may be the change in the
situation. Hawaiian affairs would take the
turn the President wished them 70 take some
time ago. and he will now give TO the islands the
executive cold shoulder" This country is 10
manifest no special interest in President DOles
Government. and neither directly nor by impli-
cation is it to show evidence Of concern in the
success or failure Of the Republic
THE LATEST ORDERS TO WILLIS.
Hawaii is no nearer the United States, poti-
cally. according to the Administrations present
attitude. than Japan. which. as is Vel known. Is
now in disfavor al the Cleveland court" Presi-
dent Dole and his Government 10 receive no
encouragement from the President. but in fact
are to be treated with less consideration than
any other foreign Power with which this country
has intercourse If the Republic endures. the
fact will probably excite regret in the hearts Of
Mr.. Cleveland and Secretary Gresham Liliuo-
kalanis stanch adherents. If 1t fails, there will
be no amentation. In either event the Admin
istration will extend neither sympathy nor en-
couragement to the young Republic The snub is
premeditated and is To be deliberately admin
istered. regardless OF consequences. That is TO
inc WI he N
accordance with the time-honored policy Of this
country has right TO expect, the friendly sOhc!
tude Of the United States, kindly sentiment and
watchfuI interest are TO be withheld as COM
pletely as in the case OF Japan. 1t will be re-
membered that some time ago Mr.. Clevelands
great and good friend President Dole. was in
formed that this country recognized the Repub-
lie. Mr.. Dole not told then, nor has he since
been told by the President or Secretary Gresham,
as he ought to have been, that the United States
IS concerned in his Governments stability and
prosperity. and that this country would view
with grave concern any interference in the
affairs of Hawaii by foreign Powers. Diplomatic
relations with Hawaii as carried on through
Minister Willis. are hereafter be strictly
formal in nature. According to his latest in
structions. Mr.. Willis is to keep the State De-
partment advised as to what goes on in Hawaii.
but he is not 10 manifest any special concern or
sympathy, whatever happens. Secretary Gresham
in framing his recent dispatches has been careful
not to say to Mr.. Willis that the Administration
regards the Hawaiian question with contemptu-
Gus Indifference but he has clearly indicated tina
Hawaiian affairs are Of no special interest or
importance. In these dispatches Mr.. Gresham
intimates that there is a possibility 20 be con-
sidered OF the return 10 power Of L!liuokalani.
In that event he directs that Minister Willis is
- thar in
cate that the United States is opposed 10 an
other revolution in the Islands.
II mas been wondered for some time why there
have been no United states naval vessels AZ
Honolulu Since the early part Of September
when Admiral Walkers flagship the Philadel-
phia. left that port no ships have called there
except for supplies. Commander FOlger with
the Yorktown. stopped there for stores while on
the way 10 China las; month. but only remained
at anchor long enough 10 take on coal ana pro-
visions The Charleston also VISITED Hono4uu
on her cruise to Eastern waters but on the
same GRAND as that OF the Yorktown. and her
stay equally brief. Since the departure o.
the Phjadelphi several English ships have gone
10 Honolulu and remained for Fortnight or
more In fact it is the exception when one OF
