Beardslee on Hawaiian Annexation.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Admiral Boards
lee, who has been in command of the Pacific
station for three years, returned to Wash
ington to-day and called on Secretaries
Long and Sherman. With the latter he went
to the White House and called on President
Mckinley The admiral in short time will
make an informal report to Secretary Long
giving his views and opinions of the
Hawaiian situation and such information as
he has gained during his long stay at the
Islands. The administration is anxious to
have a general review of the condition of
the islands from such an experienced and
intelligent source as Admiral Beardslee.
Speaking of the reported opposition to an
nexation the admiral said to-day that 1t
amounted to little. The substantial business
interests of the islands with few exceptions.
he said favor annexation. These exceptions
may be able to work up some opposition
among the natives, but nothing of any con-
sequence in his opinion can come of it. The
interest of some persons in annexation is
apathetic but they accept it as the best
horn of a dilemma.
