They align with Gomez on seeking fair play and neutral stance.

Rumors of Hawaii Annexation Push Cleared by International Ties
Special correspondence in Washington notes that President McKinley moved to send the Hawaiian treaty to Congress early to shield the tariff bill and counter Spain’s scheme with Japan to press Hawaii. Spain sought Japan’s aid against the United States in Cuba, while Japan aimed to secure Hawaii’s consent to treaty terms without triggering war. The State Department warns that aggressive moves could reshape Pacific power balances and foreshadow broader U.S. annexation policy.
