GOVERNMENT OF HAWAII
Representative Hit Explains the
Necessity For Immediate Action
ton on Pending Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15-The bill pro-
vidng for form of government for Ha-
wall was taken up today by the house
committee on territories, and Represent
alive HIT, a member of the Hawaiian
commission, explained its general purpose
and the need of early action.
Hit said that the present laws caused
much trouble among the people and the
business interests, and as the principal des-
tiny of Hawaii was no longer an open
question, 1t was much desired to bring all
conflicts of authority to a close and es-
tablish stable system as soon as possi-
BILE.
He took up the three main objections
raised to the territorial form of govern
ment proposed and answered them The
proposed property qualification for voters
for members of the senate Jared some
what on our sensibilities and customs.
Hit said, but 1t was in line with the To-
cal sentiment and usage in Hawaii, and
the desire had been to yield to the rea-
scnable desires of the people of the ISL
ands.
The reference of contested election cases
to the courts and the provision giving to
the governor the appointments OF judges
were also urged by the people of Hawaii.
The people of the islands dreaded any
plan which would colonize Hawaii with
office holders from Washington, and they,
therefore, wanted their own governor to
make the appointments

bill by sections at the next meeting. Chair
man Knott says he hopes to report the

SIMPSONS LIBEL SUIT.
Attorney General Files Answer
which implicitly Acknowledges
His Particinati0n ut Santiago.

NEW YORK, Jan. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
''And the attorney general AYERS that all
the herein above named vessels of the
kingdom Of Spain were sunk or destroyed,
on or about July 8. 1893, by the libelant
(Rear Admiral Sampson) and the vessels
under his command"
This Is an extract from the answer, just
filed by Attorney General Griggs, to the
libel filed in the supreme court Of the Dis
trtct Of Columbia by Rear Admiral Sarnp-
son, in his own behalf and also in behalf
OF the officers and enlisted force of the
North Atlantic squadron who took part
in the Santiago naval engagement, AGAINST
the Infanta Maria Teresa and miscelian-
eous stores and supplies captured upon
her and other Spanish war vessels.
1t forecasts the purpose of the depart
ment Of justice to support the contention
that the armored cruiser New York actual
ly participated in the battle with Cervera' g
fleet and that her addition to the force
made 1t superior to the Spanish squadron.
Should 1t be decided by the court of
claims that the American force at Santiago
was the equal or superior to the command
of Admiral Cervera; the American officers
and men will be entitled to bounty amount
ing to 500, for each officer and man on
board the Spanish fleet. II the American
force was inferior to the Spanish squadron
then bounty of 5000 for each officer and
man on the destroyed vessels will be al
lowed.

FIGHTING THE PRIZE CASE.
Attorney General Denies Dewey's
Claim for Manila Services.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.--Attorney Cen
eral Griggs has filed answer in the SUI
preme court of the District of Columbia in
the proceedings for prize money for cap
lures at Manila bay by Admiral Dewey.
The attorney general asks that the cause
be transferred to a commissioner and that
Admiral Dewey. his officers and crew. and
also the United States may have leave to
take testimony.
The attorney general comedies that a
state of war existed, but denies that the
squadron under Deweys command cap
tured the Spanish cruisers Isla de Cuba,
Isla de Luzon and Don Juan Of Austria.
These vessels, he says, were sunk during
the engagement. He asks for fuller infor,,
says although captures of property were
made, such capture does not authorize its
condemnation as prize to Dewey and his
men. The attorney general has also filed
a similar answer in the case of Admiral
Sampson and the destruction of Cervera's
fleet

Colonial Cruiser at the Scene, but
Cannot Learn the Name of the
Sunken steamer.

The latest advices destroy many theories
propounded concerning the disaster and
render 1t more mysterious than ever.
Owing to the continuance of turbulent
seas it is impossible to launch boats or
to venture down to the beach with any
safety. Bodies and wreckage are still
visible, the latter increasing as the ship
breaks up.
The colonial cruiser Fiona is now at the
wreck She will be Joined In the morning
by the tug Ingraham, and diver will
go down if the sea permits. Failing this.
an attempt will be made to effect a land

bodies and almost an entire boat. 1t
seems probable that the name Of the
vessel will be learned tomorrow
