George said he had based his cb5ec-
lions ON the ground that tho information
furnished was insatticsent TO proceed in

He characterized the Hawaiian affais as
a little riot i'm which only Two or three
people were killed." ani said that no
American Rad lost his life nor Aal aE.y
American property been destroyed. Hence
he had thought 1t wise that the senate

Kyle briefly stated tsfat the situation
demanded inrneflate action by the sem

distributed everywhere but Hawaii.
caffery said that from the published
reports the uprising was a fizxie, q fiascu.
1t had shown only one thing, that the
existing government was amply able TO
sustain itself. The senator spoke against
the annexation OF the heterogeneous pop
ulatsor OF ITav.aaz. II would be against
the best Interests OF this canrtry to take
such a country under our flag. THE
policy OF the president OF tfe United
States toward Ghe Islands has been mark
