THE AMERICAN POLICY » Ex-Minister John L. Stevens spoke before the Middlesex Club of Boston on Saturday night on Hawaii. After speaking at length regarding the resources and value of the Hawaiian Islands Mr. Stevens dwelt on the present aspect of Hawaiian affairs as fol- lows: Some Unpublished Facts. “In my extensively published answer to Blount’s report, facts and reasons enough were given to completely invalidate and dis- prove his charge against the provisional | government, Capt. Wilse and myself. But I have other facts which show how ex parte and superficial was Blount’s so-called in-! vestigation of Hawaiian affairs. Even had) he been impartial and guarded by the single | wish to arrive at the whole truth, the time he allowed himself for his work was much too short. “He not only had most of bis associations with and gave chief credence to the sup- porters of the fallen queen, but he confined himself to a limited field of observation. The island of Oahu, in which Honolulu is situated, is only one of the five or six islands which constitute the principal por- tion of the country. Outside of Honolulu he saw and learned little, except what the lot- Spreckels tery and palace rings and Claus told him. He did make trip with Spreckels to on the island of near the nearly as and etuing Spreckels’ plantation Mauri. He never went great island of Hawaii, which is large as the sate of Connecticut of the 4 try, where reside numerous ‘and influential tizens, Americans, and other supporters of the provisional government. He neither saw nor made any investigation in the gar-| €T- den island of the some of the group, Kauai, where reside chy citizens of the coun- try, and where American sentiments and annexation opinions among whites and na- tives are largely inant.

F. BAYARD, a “Secretary of State.’ “In approving the views of the provisional government in favor of annexation, after that government had been recognized as the de facto government of Hawaii, I simply stand on lines marked out by a former dem- ocratic administration, with William L. Marcy Secretary of State. I hold in my hands a copy of an annexation treaty which was negotiated thirty-nine years ago. In 1 Marcy, by the authority of President Pierce and his cabinet, authorized and instructed Commissioner Gregg to ne- gotiate with the Hawatian government a treaty of annexation, admitting Hawaii | into the Union as a territory. Marcy's in-| structionr authorize! Commissioner Greeg to to pay$100.000 in cash to pension the king and his chiefs. December 16, 1853. tary Marcy, in a dispatch to United) Stetes Minister Mason at Paris, used the following language: “‘T 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. | * © © Tt seems to be inevitable that they must come under the control of this gov- ernment.” An Annexation Treaty That Failed. “The annexation treaty failed then be- cause in the negotiations at Honolulu the amount had been increased from $100,000 to $300,000, for pensions, to the king and chiefs, and because the treaty as agreed upon at Honolulu admitted Hawaii as a state instead of a territory. This was not in accord with Marcy’s instructions to Gregg, and was justly inadmissible by the goverament at Washington. The Hawaiian minister of foreign affairs was a canny Scotchman who loved power. Professing to be for annexation, he was sharp enough to insist In getting into the treaty draft what he could hardly have failed to know would cause its rejection at Washington. These supposed tactics of the Scotchman are denied by some, who maintain that he sincerely favored ‘annexation, and that he assented to the treaty provision requir- ing the admission of Hawall as a state because of the strong fear of many of the commerce under ex- American residents thet territorial admis- sion might result in the introduction of African slavery in the islands. “Touching the clamor and mist ta- tions as to landing United States naval forces in Honolulu, the following is inter- esting reading, having been written to Hon.
