Hawaii. This was decided upon late last
night by Secretaries Herbert and Gresham.
As telegraphed THE CALL, Secretary Her
bert was at the Gridiron Club dinner
when he heard the news of the revolution.
Instead of taking his leave to consult
with the President and Mr.. Gresham, he
tarried at the table and at a late hour went
to his home and retired.
Secretary Gresham received his official
news late at night giving the particulars
of the revolution. He dispatched a mes
senger to Secretary Herbert, and the latter
took a cab to the Arlington Hotel, where
Secretary Gresham resides. This was
about , o'clock this morning. 1t was
agreed between them that the fighting
might be renewed or that the instruction
had not yet been quelled. Gresham in
quired of Herbert what vessels were avail
able and Secretary Herbert replied that the
Charleston and the Bennington were
ready, whereas, the Secretary, had he been
well informed as to the movements of his
vessels, would have known that the Phila-
delphia and Bennington were the vessels
at San Francisco and most available. 1t
was agreed that the most available OF the
warships would be dispatched to Honolulu
as soon as She could be got ready.
The information that vessel was to be
sent was conveyed to the CALL correspon-
dent at o'clock this morning. Secretary
Herbert, upon consultation with Admiral
Ramsey, chief of the Hureau of Naviga-
ton, at 9 o'clock this morning decided to
send the Philadelphia, and orders to that
effect was Immediately wired to Mare
Island.
Late last night Senators Lodge and Frye
announced to the CALL correspondent their
intention of bringing up a resolution in
the Senate to-day expressing regret at the
Hawaiian trouble and Indignation because
no vessel had been stationed in Hawaiian
waters. True to their promise, the ball was
opened Immediately after the morning
hour, when Frye presented his resolution,
and was followed by Lodge. who severely
censured the administration.
The debate, while it lasted, was intensely
interesting. Senator Gray, the admins
tratiOn's Spokesman, had, however, been APP
prised by Secretaries Herbert and
Gresham of their intention of sending the
Philadelphia to Honolulu, and as the
hour of ? o'clock was set for eulogies on
Senator Vance it was agreed among the
Democratic Senators TO prolong the debate
SO that q vote on the resolution requiring
the President to cause a naval vessel 20 be
stationed in Hawaiian waters could not be
had. This was done to spare the President
and his Cabinet the embarrassment of APP
pearing to comply with the requirements
of the resolution.
The revolution was discussed in the
House also. AS soon as Mr. Boutelle of
Maine secured an opportunity he was on
his feet to gain recognition. He said:
'Mr. Speaker, l ask the indulgence of
the committee for calling attention now to
serious events in another part of the
world, intelligence of which has sent
shock of horror throughout Christendom
this morning The situation in the Ha-
waiian Islands, by the latest reports, will
cause the deepest feeling throughout the
American republic a feeling not only of
sorrow at the bloodshed which has oc-
CURED there, but feeling of regret, of in
dignation and, l think, on the part of a
large portion of our people, a feeling of
shame that such q tragic occurrence may
be attributed, as many people will at
tribute it, and l cannot avoid attributing
it, to what believe to be an inexcusable
failure of the administration of the Gov
eminent of the United States to maintain
the traditional policy and manifest destiny
of the people of the United States by ex-
tending to the young republic of Hawaii
the constant aid, sympathy and moral
support of the Government of the United
States"
Boutelle, whose words gushed like tor
rent, went on: 81 am not going into de-
tails on this question. 1t is not necessary.
l am not going to say a word here that 1
don't know will carry with it the
sympathy of nine-tenths of this House on
both sides of the chamber. l know
there is no sympathy on the part of the
American people or in the hearts of the
American Congress, either on the Repub-
lican or Democratic side, outside of small
coterie that could be counted upon the fin
gers of my hand, for the policy
which has led directly up to this
tragedy in Hawaii. To-day 1 learned
that one OF my dearest young
friends, young man of American lineage
with blood that runs back to Boston on the
one hand, and through the missionary stock
that went there and redeemed those islands
from barbarism on the other, has fallen,
fighting to defend his home and fireside
against an insurrection stimulated by the
adherents of a discredited monarchy"
Boutelle was proceeding to arraign the
administration in his usual vigorous and
interesting style when the hour for eulo-
gies on Representative Isle of Kentucky
arrived. Boutelle was 10th to stop after he
had become warmed up to his work, and
after repeated remonstrances from the
Speaker, who finally sharply commanded
him to take his seat Boutelle reluctantly
did so. Thus funeral sermons in both
branches of Congress saved the admins
tration from terrible roasting, but the end
is not yet. On Monday the matter will
again be brought up in both the Senate
and House.
Early this morning Secretary Gresham
received the following dispatch from Min
lister Willis, telegraphed from San Fran
cisco:
HONOLULU, Jan. IL, 1s95-At Waikiki
Beach, five miles from the executive build
ing, on the night of January 6, an uprising of
Hawaiisns, representing several hundreds.
