The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-01-01

concerning Hawaiian Islands, p. 91S.)
AT this time the French were so
threatening in Hawaii that the Ha-
waiian government requested the
American Consul, E. H. Allen, to go
personally to washington and repre-
sent the state of affairs, which he did.
Upon making his statement to Secre-
tary Webster, the latter replied:
Il TRUST THE FRENCH WILL
NOT TAKE POSSESSION; BUT IF
THEY DO, THEY WILL BE DIS
LODGED, IF MY ADVICE IS TAKEN,
IF THE WHOLE POWER OF THE
GOVERNMENT Is REQUIRED TO
DO IT,
SECRETARY OF STATE w. L.
MARCY.
Secretary Of State W. L. Marcy adj
dressed a communication on December
16, 1853, to Mr. John Mason, U. S. Min
lister to France, in which he states:
at do not think the present Hawaiian
government can long remain in the
hands of the present rulers or under
the control of the native inhabitants of
these islands, and BOTH ENGLAND
AND FRANCE ARE APPRAISED OF
OUR DIFFERENTIATION NOT TO
ALLOW THEM TO BE OWNED BY
Ok IL TALL ONbT6S L he L no ~
TON OF EITHER OF THESE POW
ERS OR OF ANY OTHER EURO
PEAN NATION.
1T seems to be inevitable that they
must come under the control of this
government"
(vol. 2, Rep. Sen. Com. on For. Rel,
concerning Hawaiian Islands, p. 914)
INSTRUCTIONS OF MARCY TO Ne
GOTIATE ANNEXATION TREATY.
On the 4th of April, 1854, Secretary of
State Marcy sent a dispatch to David
L. Gregg, u. S. Minister at Honolulu,
giving special instructions on the sub
ject of annexation. viz:
I'm your general Instructions you
We're furnished with the views of this
government in regard to any change in
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-01-01

the political affairs of the Sandwich
Islands. The President was aware,
when those Instructions were prepared,
that the question of transferring the
sovereignty OF, those islands to the
United States had been raised and IA
vorably received by many influential
individuals residing therein. If
any foreign connection is to be formed,
the geographical position OF these
islands indicates that it should be with
US. In view of the large American in
terests there established and the init
mate commercial relations existing at
this time, 1T MIGHT BE WELL RE-
GARDED AS THE DUTY OF THIS
TO PREVENT
THESE ISLANDS FROM BECOMING
THE APPENDAGE OF ANY OTHER
FOREIGN POWER y
SECRETARY OF STATE WILLIAM
81. SEWARD.
In reply to dispatch from q. s.
Minister McCook, suggesting the posi-
biity of the annexation of Hawaii, Sec
rotary Seward wrote to him, July 10,
1857:
You are at liberty to sound the
proper authority on the large subject
mentioned in your note (annexation),
and ascertain probable conditions. You
