Hayvafian Annexation.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The opponents of Hawaiian annexation
are numerically so insignificant they would
feel very lonesome if they should come out
into the open.
The alleged arguments against annexa-
ton are mere bugaboos-the same sort
used against the acquisition of nearly all
Of our territory. For example it has been
said that the attempt to assimilate the
population of the Hawaiian Islands would
give this country case of acute indi;yes-
ton.
We have assimilated French Louisiana.
Spanish or Mexican California Arizona
and New Mexico, Russian Alaska, Nor
mon Utah, more 1rishmen than can be
found in all Ireland, and 5000 900 persons
of African descent, and all of those people
are now good American citizens. Uncle
Sans pictures make him look dyspeptic.
but he has the stomach of an ostrich The
Hawaiian sugar plum could have been
swallowed in our infancy. Now it would
certainly give no trouble.
The beet sugar people have no cause for
opposition. In 1896 less than one-tenth of
the sugar used in this country came from
Hawaii For many years Hawaiian sugar
has been admitted free of duty under our
reciprocity treaty. How could annexation
increase competition? The beet sugar
business is not in danger.
Experts have testified as to the great
strategic Importance of the islands, and
they have shown that probably no increase
of the navy would necessarily follow an
neXaton; but the same experts say that
for other reasons more powerful navy is
desirable.
Our navy speaks for itself and the sound
is most eloquent just now. 1t has been
heard around the world. All nations listen
with increased respect.
A great navy will open the way for a
great commerce. 1t will also guarantee
honorable peace A few more battle ships
and 13-inch guns would make Quakers of
all of our enemies
The Hawaiian question is no more a
party issue than the war with Spain. An

Views of Senator's

The Senate committee on foreign rela-
bill, which the Hawaiian government fa-
vors. formally permitting the occupation OF
the Hawaiian Islands by the United States
in case of war, but some of the individual
members of the committee knew that such
q measure was in contemplation by the Ha-
waiian authorities Senator Davis chair
man of the committee, and Senator Frye
who occupies the next place both had such
knowledge, and both stated that the COM
mittee had never taken the matter up in
any way. They, however, approve the pro-
ceeding as individual senators, and express
the opinion that If the Hawaiian legislature
passes the bill it would be well for the
United States to accept the tender of the
islands. The legislation proposed would,
they say. make Hawaii an ally OF ours, and
they believe the cooperation Of the island
government likely to be of Importance to
us.
The measure under consideration by the
Hawaiians is a simple bill granting to the
United States authority to use Hawaiian
territory practically as they would the ter
ritory of this country. Its acceptance on
our part would be equivalent to the forma-
ton of an alliance, but doubt is expressed
among some senators to whether the
President would be disposed to enter upon
it in the absence of formal action looking to
the annexation of Hawaii.
Senator Davis today expressed the hope
that the House would pass the anneXa ton
resolution within the next week or two and
he said that if it should do so he would ask
the Senate to take it up and dispose of it
before the final adjournment of Congress.

THE ATTITUDE OF HAWAII
Will Not Proclaim Neutrality in the Span
y ish-American War.
Government Considers Such an Act
Would Hamper Pending Negotia-
tfOns-Scarcity of Coal.

A dispatch which was forwarded from
Honolulu. May 10, via San Francisco. May
Is, says: The Hawaiian government will
not proclaim neutrality. This stand is
taken on account of the existing relations
between the United States and Hawaii.
The executive considers that proclama-
ton of neutrality would be breach of
good faith. The government made known
its position yesterday at a secret session
oil the Senate. 1t is understood that the
senators favored tie stand taken by Presi-
dent Dole
Another important matter considered at
the session was the occupation bill, which,
II ratified by the Senate, will allow the
United States to raise the American flag
over the islands and use the same as d
base of supplies. This measure is said to
have been prepared with the knowledge CT
the Senate committee on foreign affairs
ana mas had the approval of President NC
kinney. This bill was received by the Ha-
waiian government a short time ago. and
has had the careful attention of President
Dole and his cabinet.
The members of the Senate questioned
the executive yesterday regarding the fore
going measure. They were informed that
the measure was under consideration and
that it would be unwise to make it public
at this time.
When the bill is given to the Senate that
body will ratify it at once; on this point
there does not seem to be any doubt.
1t was extensively reported in the busi-
ness community on the 1th that Spain,
through agents here, was buying all the
coal TO be had in this island. The consul
for Spain denied this and said there was
not word of truth in 1t. That coal
famine is imminent there can be hardly any
doubt
Last weeks stocks were lower than in
many months, scarcely 5000 tons being on
hand, and only one house has any coal
for sale, and will only consent to sell in
quantities to satisfy Immediate demands.
United States Consul General Haywood
has been watching the situation closely and
has strongly fortified Americas $ position.
He has $500 tons of coal on hand at the
present time, with two cargoes afioat,
bound for this port. In less than month
the United States will have HOO tons OF
coal at this port.
The steamship Rio Janeiro arrived from
San Francisco on the Ith, bringing news
of between the United States and
Spain. Captain Nichols was seen on board
the Bennington shortly after he had read
his dispatches, and also after he had had
an interview with Minister SeWall and Con-
sui General Haywood. He said
Il have received no orders respecting the
immediate movements of my vessels. If l
am to leave here, the department has not
apprised me OF the fact.

What is Said at the Capitol.

The news published this morning that

probably would enact occupation bill,
which,. when ratified by the Senate would

Of supplies and operations during the war,

prfsing. Representative Hit of Illinois.
chairman of the committee on foreign af-
fairs expressed the prevailing opinion.
This probable action upon the part OF
Hawaii" he said. ''is certainly in strict ac-
cord with what might be expected. Hav-
ing favored a pending treaty for anneXa
tion, having manifested her willingness and
eagerness to become a part of the United
States. it would be entirely inconsistent
for Hawaii to declare neutrality and
manifest no preference and show no favor
between this government and its enemy.
Her refusal to declare neutrality and her
proposition to lend herself as Il base Of
supplies in our emergency pending the dis
position of the propositions now before
Congress looking to annexation would be
strong evidences of good faith upon the
part of Hawaii and would add much to the
influences already at work to accomplish
annexation
