| WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The uprising IN
| Honolulu created most intense interest IN
Washington. 1t is predicted on all sides
that the administration will be roasted IN
Congress tomorrow. Representative Hit
OF Illinois, chairman of the Foreign AT
| fairs Committee in the Reed Congress, and
| now ranking Republican member of that
| committee, will take advantage of the ex-
element caused by this uprising to urge
upon Congress the importance of cable
telegraph communication between San
Francisco and Honolulu. 1t is regarded as
certain that if this Congress takes no ac-
ton the incoming Congress will pass bill
granting a subsidy for this purpose. Sena-
tor Frye said to THE CALL correspondent
tonight that he would push the cable bill
in the Senate.
Mr.. Thurston, Hawaiian Minister, was
apprised OF the news of a revolt by the
CALL correspondent. He said: "Until l
have received full particulars of the affair
have nothing to say, except that l am
satisfied that our troops are so well disci-
plined that such an uprising could hardly
be digniied by calling it revolution 1t
would only be the riot of mob at most,
and although they might cause some
trouble their advantage, if any, could only
be temporary. I am satisfied that the
trouble was quickly ended and without
serious consequences"
Minister Thurston says that of course
Wilcox is subject to the death penalty.
Secretary Herbert, when interviewed,
affected the most stolid indifference about
the Hawaiian revolution. He said: 81
suppose l will catch it now for not having
ships at Honolulu. But / know how to
administer the affairs of my department,
and warships there could not have averted
this trouble"
Secretary Herbert was enjoying himself
tonight at banquet given by Core
spondent Carson in honor of the "Gridiron
Club" He did not appear in the least ex-
cited, and as a member of Congress said to-
night, was "fddling while Rome burns"
Senator Morgan of Alabama chairman
of the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela
tons, declines to enter into discussion of
the question tonight.
~ would not care to say what would be
the policy of the Government in this mat
ter without further thought" he said, "nor
would it be my place to attempt to point
out a policy for the administration.
But" and the Senator spoke with al
most dramatic force, "they cannot over
throw the republic, nor will this Govern
ment stand by and see it done"
Later in the evening, after having more
fully perused, the dispatches, Minister
Thurston evinced willingness to talk on
the situation.
''Do you think the revolution would
have amounted to anything if the plans of
the rebels had not been prematurely dis
covered?" he was asked.
"No," said Mr.. Thurston, sit is an i'll
conceived piece of folly, with no possibility
of success, against the Government.
'What do you think of the chances OF
the revolution being followed by suisse
quent outbreaks?"
Il think the Government will take such
measures and will teach such lesson there
will be little danger of repetition of the
affair unless they (the rebels) receive fur
Their encouragement from abroad"
care there any men of any note among
the revolutionists?"
absolutely none. Wilcox was man
who was violent annexationist, who was
an applicant for Office under the present
administration, and when he did not get
in he turned Royalist. He is absolutely
irresponsible.
"Nowlein is saloon-keeper. Fitzgerald
is a horse-iockey and was Carter's grooms-
man some time ago. What the Govern
ment will do with the revolutionists I do
not know"
'What of the sending of an American
warship to Hawaii"
$50 far as the Hawaiian Government is
concerned it is able to protect itself with
out any foreign aid. l will say, how
ever, that the presence of American men
of-war unquestionably exercises strong
moral influence on all the disorderly ele-
ment in the islands and such effect has al
ways been recognized by every one &C
quainted with the situation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - Secretary Her
bert and Gresham have had a consultation
as to what should be done in the Hawaiian
matter.
The Charleston will be ordered to Homo
lulu at once and the Bennington may go
also.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts sat up
until late hour in his study. Tomorrow
will see lively times in the Senate, as Lodge
proposes to roast the administration. A
few days ago he introduced resolution
calling on the President to send ship to
Honolulu to protect American interests
