HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
AN INTERVIEW WITH CHAIR
MAN HIT.
Gives Many Reasons Why the Is
lands Chould Become a Part
of the United States.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29-The Posts
Washington correspondent sends the
following exclusive interview with
Chairman Hit of the House Commit
tee on Foreign Relations:
The gist, in my opinion, of the whole
Hawaiian situation lies in the strategic
advantages of the little group consid-
cred as a station or point of basis of
operations favoring our Western coast.
There is a strong resemblance in this
case to the Bermudas, except that the
RermudaS are not so commanding.
That is, there are not islands to the
south of them which would. in case of
conflict to some extent take their place
with European Powers, even which pos
sessed the Bermudas. In the posses
sion of the Hawaiian Islands we would
have what might be considered safety
for our Western coast against naval
Powers. except Great Britain, which
could still get coal for her ships from
the British Columbia ports and use that
base for naval operations.
The subordinate features of the
question much discussed. the question
Of sugar, the character of the popula-
tion, the mode of government, etc. are
obligations and solutions of objections
that take up a good deal of attention,
but / think are Of minor Importance.
The control of country cannot be
permanently held half way. We have
now by treaty certain exclusive rights,
but that is terminable treaty, and the
Hawaiian Republic is theoretically an
independent nation. but is wholly inca
pable of defending itself and preserv-
ing its independence the moment that
we come into a conflict. and any naval
Power presenting itself will take pos
session. Once it was possessed by a
Power like Japan. England or Germany,
it would be the story of the Bermudas
over again, only a stronger and more
effective Bermuda on our Western
coast
With a coaling station 2,00J miles
out we double the time and length of
effective cruises of warships going out
from San Francisco. and proportionate-
ly increase the effective result of the
expenditure in setting up a ship. Hav-
ing no neighboring islands. ii leaves
the immense exranse of the Northern
Pacific utterly inhospitable to our op-
ponent. if we hold it. 1t is thus of
great value as base of defense or for
an enemy 10 operate against.
Il have thought for many years that
these islands were Of essential import
ance to US. The impression that ] got
when in the State Department in 1881
remains with me. When the ques-
ton of extending the reciprocity treaty
was then under consideration / was
impressed with these facts. The su-
gar question and its branches is mat
ter Of squabble between competing in
terests. Once incorporated. they all
go into the hopper together as COM
pletely as are to-day the beet root of
Nebraska and the cane Of Louisiana"

ernador must be seen. He takes you to
his house, where there is plenty of room,
and You can set all the supplies you
need in the sha pc of food from him, by
paying we'll for it. OF course, he is in no
hurry to have you go, and only di-
plomacy starts you on your journey
again, for he takes his time to help you
'tAs l said before there is very little
show for 4 white man. There is moth
ing left in mining that is worth talk
ing about. / know of one mine where
W hole lot of money has been invested,
but they only strike gold in pockets. The
Incas mined the country, and after
them came the Spaniards and
Portuguese, and they have
pretty we'll cleaned up the ground. There
is very little left, except in the very high
attitudes, where even the natives can
do very little and employ the Indians
to do the work. White men will do well
to give the country a wide berth.
Mr.. Johns is man of much more
than average intelligence and does not
look like a man who is easily diScour-
aged and will soon be on his road to
Alaska when the spring opens to try for
better luck there.
