FRANCISCO , Aug. 25. The steom-
Bhlp Moana arrlv'ed here today from Aus
tralian ports via Honolulu. An Associated
Press correspondent writes from Honolulu ,
under date of August IS , OB follows : The
congressional members of the commission to
report on a form ot government for the
territory of Hawaii arrived August 17 on
the Marlposa. The three commissioners met
President Dole nnd his cabinet at the execu
tive building by appointment. The compli
ments of the president and his colleagues
had been sent to the United States senators
and the representatives earlier In the day.
Today the commission met at the home ot
Justice Frear to qualify us members by tak
ing an oath. As soon as the members were
regularly listed the commission proceeded to
elect a secretary , a stenographer and a
eergcant-at-armu : Senator Cullom Is chair
man. The men for the clerical positions
and the sergeant-ut-arms have been brought
Jrom Washington.
As soon as the formalities at the residence
of Juctlco Frear were finished the four other
members ot the commission adjourned to the
hall of the house , the old throne room lu
the executive building , and there held the
opening business session. This week the
commission will-visit the island of Hawaii.
They will bo on the big Island six or seven
days. The commission will later make trips
to Maul and Kinia and may also see Molokal.
Senator Cullom said that the sessions ot
the commission would bo private , excepting
when there wore bearings. When Individ
uals or delegations \\ish to present views
or open up discussions , cither in person , by
spokesman or by attorney , the hall will bo
open to all. The senator gave the- impres
sion that hearings would bo granted to all
bavins any reasonable claims. The work ot
the committee will'not be ot n secret nature ,
but It is fell the business can be transacted
more expfUttlously and better In every way
by having.closed doors. '

mented by man congressional laws bearing

tc. It Is by no menus contemplated that

Senator Morgan iri an Interview said : "As
o the scope ot the commission' ? work , that
s rather a leading question , hut I can an-
wer it by referring you to the Newland's
e'solution. Wo shall keep within the bounds
aid down in that resolution , and mark you ,
ve are not going to make any new laws for
ou or institute any radical changes. Our
utles are largely , If not wholly , advisory ,
nd wo shall confine our work as much as
osslblo to that line. "
SpeakltiE of the work ot the last legis-
ature the senator said , referring especially
o the loan act : "It does not follow that
uch a law would tall through. The United
tales has assumed 14,000,000 of your debt ,
iiit there is no reason why you are stopped
rom incurring any more. Wo have allowed
11 the territories to pass laws authorizing
he Issuing of bonds for internal improvc-
nents , subject of course to congressional
upervlslon , and I know of no reason why
lawatl should be excluded from doing so.
The United States having assumed the bulk
f your debt , you should , be In better
innnclnl condition than most of the ter-
Itorles and you understand that hereafter
my laws you pass will be subject to the
ipproval of congress. "

corps that Is hero now , the Third battalion
of the Second regiment. United States vol
unteers , will be the construction ot the
nter-lsland cable system. The fact that
the government Intends to proceed at once
with the work Is pretty conclusive that
the franchise for a cable from the coast
to Honolulu will not be delayed.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 23. Admiral Samp
son has forwarded to the Navy department
the following letters which have passed be
tween himself nnd Captain Taylor of the
battleship Indiana :
UNITED STATES STEAMER INDIANA ,
GUANTANAMO DAY , Aug. 6. Admiral !
The report of Commodore Schlcy on the
battle of July X as published , gives credit
In the seventh paragraph to four ships and
mentions by name their captains 1'hlllp ,
Evans , Clark and Cook , and adds :
"The dense smoke of the combat shut
out from my view the Indiana and Glouces
ter , but as these vessels were closer to your
flagship no doubt their part In the conflict
was under your immediate observation. "
In your report , as published , you make
but slight mention of the Indiana , stating
that "the Iowa and Indiana , having done
good work and not having the apccd'of the
other ships , were directed by mo , " etc. , etc.
The result of these , reports Is- that .the
captains of all the vessels In the line of ba :
tie except the Indiana h.nvo have- received
personal mention in the official report be
fore the department , while the two smaller
vessels have also had distinctive mention
either from the commander In chief or the
second in command. If the official record
should be referred to In the future It will
appear from its general tone that the In
diana was less deserving than all her con
sorts. Leaving out my personal Interest in
the matter , it is right that I should con
sider tha officers and crew of the ship ; and
I speak for them as well as for myself when
I submit to you , admiral , that the above
combination ot reports will place the .ship
In the opinion of .the department nnd the
country , markedly below all the other ves
sels ot your squadron , I respectfully sub
mlt , sir , that this Is injustice to the Indiana
and her officers nnd crew.
I can say without disparagement of any
other vessel that during the first hour of
the fight the Indiana's gun lire-contributed
to the destruction of the Oquendo and the
Teresa more than that of any single vessel
of our squadron except one , nnd equals her.
I do not know why the second in command
failed to observe the Indana during ibis
period of our hottest action. 1 saw the
Brooklyn quite plainly , .
An examination ot these reports with
reference to the Indiana will , I believe ,
convince you , sir , that they do produce the
cfl'ect of putting the Indiana below oil Hie
other vessels of the squadron. If-it be your
opinion , sir , that this is the case1 , nnd that
all the vessels from the Brooklyn to the
Vixen 'rendered ' service as much more valuable
uablo than tha Indiana , us the published 16-
port of the commauder-ln-chlef and the second
end In command taken together would indi
cate , then I must accept it for myself and
the ship ; if , on the contrary , that be not
your opinion , I urge respectfully tbnt mich
steps bo taken to remedy this Injustice as
may seem wise to you. Very respeclfully ,
II. C. TAYLOR.

, UNITED STATES STEAMER NEW
YORK , GUANTANAMO BAY , Aug. 8. Sir
I am greatly obliged that you.have callei
my attention to what appears to have been
an injustice to your ship , officers and crew ,
for the part which they took In ' the action
of July 3 , and also for the 'very proper
manner In which you have presented it. I
think , however , that in , submitting" riuch Ja
report" to'the secretary of'the'niVy1 , where
so many officers , are Vitally interested and1
justly proud , of their ship , it Is no easy task
to do so without , apparently bestowing
praise unjustly. It requires yery careful
consideration of the report from every
point of View to avoid misunderstanding'
The position of the ships of tbo squad
ron must be carefully considered to fully
appreciate what It was possible for each
vessel to accomplish under the circum
stances in which it was placed. Those that
were to the westward of the escaping enemy
were certainly better placed for stopping
the enemy and also better placed for deliv
ering their fire than the vessels to the cast-
ward , which was the blockading station of
the Indiana.
No distribution of the fleet could com
pletely predict and provide against every
variation of such a sortie , nor do I consider
that any commanding officer deserved either
credit or blame because the ship under his
command was faster or slower than another
ship or carried a heavier or lighter bat
tery ; but rather that the commanding officer
was blameworthy when ho failed to put his
ship In the proper place for destroying the
enemy , just in proportion to the advantage
which he possessed in speed , battery or po
sition over his neighbors.
Each commanding officer , In my opinion ,
was personally responsible for the good use
which he made ot the tools with which he
had to work. I certainly did not Intend to
criticise you or to bestow less praise on tha
Indiana than was bestowed upon any other
ehlp of the squadron , . ,
The fact that the commanding officer of
the Indiana was signalled to return to
blockade at the mouth"of the harbor after
ho had so gallantly cpntrlbutcd to the de
struction of the Spanish ships was only a
necessary precaution which the commamTor-
In-chlef felt obliged to take to prevent dis
aster to the large number of transports
which were left in that vicinity when the
fleet started In pursuit of the enemy. There
were still some armed vessels remaining in
the harbor ot Santiago a lenst two , and
wo did not know then how many more
which could have come out in the nbsonco
of the fleet and produced great havoc "among :
the troop ehtps which were defenseless in
the absence of an armed vessel.
This explanation , together with your let
ter , will bo sent to the department , with
the request that It may bo attached to. and
form a part of , the original report. Very
respectfully , W. T. SAMPSON ,
Hear Admiral V. S. " N. '
