mt-ss aia i-roieionai men oi me low h
t h ! a mrimirm f:i.- fl in. aqfirtain I hiir
opinion as to the advisability or necessity
of President Dole's proclaiming the neu
trality oi me isianus ai me present lime.
IJelow will br found statements made
which f?o to show the difference of opin
ion prevailing here just now.
A. S. llartwell: The neutrality of Ha
waii is generally assumed or taken for
pranfwl sjjh! it w.-rnlr1 m imtinssihlp tr
conceive that Hawaii as a sovereign pow-
fr wouia uo any act nostne 10 pa.m.
That whfrli it meant can uauallv be ex
pressed with perfect safety and I think
it wouM be wise to avow any possioie in
ference that the negotiation of the treaty
of annexation involves Hawaii in any war
in which the United States is engaged.
There is nothing: which can be construed
as hostile to the United States in the
ordinary oflicial intimation or notice that
Hawaii is strictly neutral, and therefore
it seems to me to be proper to give such
notice.
Mr. Hartwell further referred the re
porter to Article 2'J of the existing tieaty
botween Hawaii and Spain, which is as
follows:
"Article 2tl. All vessels bearing the flag
of Spain shall, in time of war, receive
every ossible protection, within the ports
and "waters of the Hawaiian Islands and
Her Majesty the Queen of Spain engages
to respect, in time of war. the neutrality
of the Hawaiian Islands, and to use her
good oilices with all the other powers
having treaties with the same, to induce
them to adopt the same policy toward the
same islands.
Geo. IC. Carter: I think that it would
have no effect politically. If notice of
neutrality were given it would simply
warn Spain to keep her hands off. Do not
i think it woidd have any effect on an
nexation.
C. Jones: Think we had betler not
meddle. I.et things stand as they are.
Don't hamper or embarrass the United
States Government now that she has her
hands full. Stand by her and take
chances.
J. CI. Spencer: Does not think it ad
visable for this Government to take any
action at present. Wait for news as to
what the other nations are doing.
Kep. McCandless: Says he. thinks we
should stand as wo are. That there is
no need of declaring that we will bo
neutral.
Cecil Urown: Stand as we are. We
have no official notification of a state of
war and should take no action in the
premises.
W. W. Hall: The President should pro
claim our neutrality. It would preclude
anv nossibllitv of troume. uo not iuiuk
it would have any ertect on annexation.
Geo. H. I'aris: iNo. wny snouui me
President proclaim neutrality when he
has not the power to enforce it? The
President cannot do it, because he has
cifnfl n trentv offerintr the country for
annexation to the United States.
Samuel C. Allen: Of course ne. snouin
proclaim neutrality. What else can he
do? Put it down as strong as you like.
Some of the people who talk about taK
in tho nhnnees will ehanjre their tune
when they see the Spanish cruisers heav
ing in sight.
13. F. Dillingham: I thinK we snouiu
wait until the necessity lor declaring
neutrality be proved.
J. S. Martin: w ltn an me power uiai
resident McKinley has proved he pos-
ocicoc in ho pniprL'inpv. i oeiieve lie
could have taken the present as an op
portunity tor rusning annexation, oinve
he has not done so tnus lar, 1 woum say
we. ought to act as if .strictly independ
ent. We would do better lor tnis country
ie wo ii ii nnt so much waiting on
Washington. That cable matter, for in
stance, should be pushed, even if we have
to hold mass meetings.
N. Kmmet May: This Government can
not declare its neutrality tinder the ex
isting conditions. It would be the death
of annexation.
Senator Henry Waterhouse: There has
been no official notice to this Government
of war. Nothing can be clone until tne
notification is received. Then will bo
the time for consideration of the matter.
John Ena, Councillor of State: Until
this Government is olllcially notified that
war exists, it should take no action.
When the notification comes it is time
enough to declare our neutrality.
J. P.. Atherton: It is my opinion that
this Government should declare its neu
trality as soon as official notification of
war is received. I do not think it would
affect annexation.
Several gentlemen were out when the
reporter called at their office.
The following are extracts from the
Bulletin, an annexation journal, and now
Mr. Sewall's organ, regarding the propo
sition to offer the Islands to President
McKinley, made, on May 9th and K'tn,
the date of President Dole's abandon
ment of neutrality. ;
"Viewed from the Hawaiian ponn ui
view the proposition contained in the
Hawaiian Legislature looks decidedly pe
culiar. Unaccompanied by a pledge of
actual protection when the Islands should
bv the measure be brought into the ac-
tual sphere 01 war, n is f"s
fneless government to assume a very
grave responsibility. Such a proposition
should indeed have been brought here
by a strong squadron that would stay iy
it Then the Government would and its
supporters would no more than prove
their fidelity to the cause of annexation
bv casting the country's lot m the time
of trial with the great Republic.
It is reassuring to find that the Govern
ments pursuing with the greatest cau
tion the quest of what is its proper course
in connection with the war between the
States and Spam. ine reiatin
between the United States and the Ha
waiian Islands hitherto have been such
as to invest the subject witr. no small
difficulty. Messrs. Hatch and Thurston
do no credit to their judgment for their
action in promoting a scheme of initia
tive on tho part of this Government,
which is quite liable to procure irretriev
able mischief, first, for this Country at
the present time. and. secondly, for the
cause of annexation after peace has been
restored. Those gentlemen iiiul
have lost their senses. As a member of
the Cabinet is elsewhere reportd as say
ing, Hawaii has done everything lefeit
imately within her l'owere to promote
actual union, uur uehuuv
hands of the United btates.
th is helpless and defenseless little cotm
Irv now trv to force the hands of that
ireat nation, by throwing the burden of
Us protection upon her after her plans
have been matured and put m o opera-
tion for war witn anumei jicihwh.
f the United States should treat the im-
i .lpsorved. where would
little HawaiVbe under certain not remote
oontinioicies ot tne conuia;
men St Washington would seem to have
not learned any miernauuii"
their enlightened spnere.

ii. . on.i nn 'resuient uoie
