WssntsOTOif, May 12.—A Senator who la In tho confidence of the admin- ' istratlon said: “The President is In favor of holding the Philippine islands temporarily and looks to their perma nent acquisition, although he is not ' settled in the conviction that this would bo advantageous to tho United . States" | The Monroo doctrine will play a 1 OOnsiderable part, in tho final settle ment of the Philippine question, ji There are those who contend the hold- I tog of the Islands would bo a depart ure from tho truo meaning of ttie Mon- , roe doctrine. An argument advanced by those in favor of holding the Islands’ is that ths United States would Incur the displeasure of other great powers if tho islands are sold to somo one of thorn. Ons thing seems certain. If It is concluded (list the Islands are to be a. knocked down to ths highest bidder a coaling station will be held by the TJalt-'d States. Senator Stewart of M'va da said In an Interview that cer A _ 1 _ .1 .it. I _ 1 _ __«_ ___1141_1 party which attempt* to disposo of the islands. This feeling is quite prevalent in Congressional circles. Tlie members of tho Senato foreign relations committee, excepting Clark and Gray, are understood to bo in favor of holding the islands. The House committee is divided on the same lines as on the lines of tho Hawaiian annexation—four members, Mr. Clark, Mr. Howard, Mr. Williums and Mr. Uinsmore, being against the plan. OREGON THEIR MATCH. fleeator Morgan Bays the Battleship Cool.I Defeat the Cape Verde Fleet. Wsmiixgtox, May 12.—A group of senators wero discussing the where abouts of the Cape Verde fleet, and the hope was expressed by several that the fleet had not gone after the (Oregon. “Weil, I hope it has." said Senator Morgan. “When I was out in San Francisco last summer I went aboard the Oregon, and I don't believe there 1* a finer battleship afloat, lam con fldent that, if the Cape Verde fleet should try to capture her she would ^ give a grand account of norself. Her ^ captain and her crew are a gallant set of fellows, and I believe they would be able to beat off tho whole Capo Verde fleet The Oregon has four 13 inrh guns and her gunner* are so ex pert that I don't believe any of thoso Spanish vessels would be able to get near enough to her to do her any great damage. They i night shoot away the whole of her top works, and she would still have Vor four 13-lnch guns to oporato on £er enemy, for she is so built that When her whole top is shot away she l becomes a perfect monitor. She is ,really a monitor and a battleship in one. If she did go down 1 would be willing to wager that at least three of the SpaaUh fleet would go down with her.’’ f It is said of Captain Clark, the com nandcr of tho Oregon, that he is one of the most fearless men in the navy. The story is told of him that when he bad the monitor Monterey out in a . acu so heavy that tho monitor was rolling frightfully, tho captain lashed ) ttlmsolf to the inast and had the grew swing tho turrets, saying that he was anxious to sco what the Monterey would he able to \do in that kind of sea. livery tirao the turrets were swuug around the Monterey scorned to turn almost clear over, but Captain Clark had tho ^ operations continued until lie was en W tirely satisfied. lie was sent to San Francisco especially for the hazard ous undertaking of bringing the tfro gnn around to the Ail untie, tho Navy department having the highest confi dence iu l>i> gallsutry and his seaman shi(v South Its# Moon Slighted. \Vamiim.tos, May II—The’.e was •onto discussion by the He no to In ex ecutive session because none of tho nominations for stuff ol'deert in tho army sent in by the I'resideut wero from tho Koulh.

Madrid, Maj It is only indi rectly that attention is paid tn the progress of tho war by the people hero. For tho time being everyona Is en gaged wi^h consideration of the min isterial crisis I'pon its eolation de pends the immediate action of Spain. If the cabinet weathers the storm, it will emerge from it either in'trnot ed to prosecute the war vigorously or else empowered to take stops for tho re-cstablUhment of p.>aco with tho least possible delay. From carofnl consideration of the ministry's action it is more than prob able that the latter solution will be more in Accordance with tho members’ pcrsonml desires The question is, Will they bs able to follow their de sires? Their position is a difficult one. They know only too well that the longer the war is prosecuted the more severe will be the loss of Spain. It Is manifest that tho government is trying to throw the responsibility for the continuance of the war on parliament It is also manifest that the opposition is trying to embarrass the government by refusing to accept that responsibility without at the sumo time giving the ministry any ground for saying later that peace was concluded by tho will of ttie na tion's representatives and not by that of the gsvernment's party majority. Tho opposition will not help tho government to secure peace, as later it may overthrow the Liberals upon tills ground. Which of the two parties —ministerial or opposition—will be wie auuiiffer, 19 vnu uue uujcci ui 111* 1 tcrost at present. There Is a growing current of feel- I lng that to pursue this disastrous war, now that it has been proved that, while Spain's courage is always equal to the test, her financial, militar* and naval resources are inadequate to cope with an adversary so vastly her su perior as America, amounts simply to madness. One of the most prominent bankers here said that to escape from total ruin is becoming more and more diffi cult every day if the war is prolonged. The working man finds himself con fronted with tangible proof of what war means. He is already paying about twice as much as foi merly for the loaf of bread that plays such an important roio in his nourishment, and he is beginning to get desperate. A MUTINY IN HAVANA. BoMlera Refuted to Man Fortification* When the American Fleet Appeared. Nkw Yohk, May )?.—Havana har bor, on board the Danish schooner Kohl, May 1, via Galveston, May 10.— “Hardly a week has gone by since the blockade of Havana was begun,” say* the correspondent of the New York j Evening Sun, “and already the effects | are so bearing on the city as to make | it practically impossible to long con- I tlnue living within its walls. The | personal danger of non-combatants is not only increasing hourly, but the simplest food cannot be obtained ex cept by the rich and influential. “The volunteers want to fight, that is, they want to see slain in Havana streets the Cuban-American sympa thizers. The regular soldiers, espec ially the artillery sections, are so de moralized, having had no pay or at tention for seven months, that when Moro castle fired the first three shots —the danger signal announcing the American fleet in sight—they flatly refused to go to their posts at the foot of the guns. Troops well know that not one of the Havana batteries Is in shape to battle with such war ships as the Iowa or the Indiana, for there are only two mud era Krupp guns of long range. Only seven days have gone by since the blockade commenced and already Havana wharves and warehouses are empty. There is only flour for forty five days, rice for thirty, lard for twenty and meat for fifteen days The water supply is a source of great an noyance to the government, as the only available supply is from the Al ucui tauni, nuivu ui " •» tv i •• v«u Vcnto spring, some six miles from Havana. Theso waterworks, although not yut in the handsof the Insurgents, will soon bo seized by them and the supply cut off. Of course not only Havana will bo loft short of water, but the Moro and other batteries will likewise be out off." WAR TO LND BY JULY 4. tlcKInler llnpm to Have Peace by la* de pen lenc# Hay.

It Is dated St Thomas, May 12, and is as fol lows: "A portion of the squadron under my command reached Sun Juan this morning at daybreak. No armed ves sels were found in the port As soon as it was sufficiently light I com menced attack on the batteries de fendin'? the city. "This attack lasted about three hours and resulted In much damage to ihp lmt.tprina nntl infltUn tnll v to n portion of the city adjacent to the bat teries. "The batteries replied to our firo but without material effect. One man was killed on board the New York and seven slightly wounded in the squadron. No serious damage to any ships resulted.—Sampson.” Admiral Sampson's statement that he attacked with only a portion of his fleet is taken to indicate that he did not find it expedient to take the entire squadron into the harbor, though it is not believed lie lias separated his fleet Fobt de France, Martinique, May 13.—San Jaun, I’orto Rico, has fullen before the terrific fire of Admiral Sampson's fleet With its "Remember tiie Maine,” a flutter in signal flags, the flagship Ne\y York moved into action yesterday morning. The men on the other ships, nerved by ths sight of it, worked with the precision of machinery. The guns were served with great accuracy and their fire was appalling. The big guns of tho battleships Iowa and Indiana pounded away at the fortifications and the heavy ord nance of the Spaniards was worked arnid a hail of steel and bursting shells. "The monitors ran closer In, and their lire was steady and well direct ed. The masonry of tho fortifica tions flew up in great clouds, and one shot landed squarely on a gun plat form and dismounted it. "The Spaniards fought with dogged desperation, but it was evedent, after the buttle reached its hottest, that they could not hold out against the awful attack of Sampson's fleet. “When the first dispatch toat left tho scone the light was still in progress.

In conclusion, the dispatch of the flvenlng News says tho Americans did not attempt te take possession or de stroy the town beyond razing tho fortifications. Alt the American warships, the dis patch says, except the Montgomery, (teamed in elliptical formation before the San Juan forts, which fired twenty to thirty guns, seven of which were food guna The fleet fired too low, ut nt tho second discharge they got the elevation nnd soon silenced Moro fort and set fire to the town, driving the Spaniards from their guns re peatedly. The shore guns fired hundreds of nhota. The New York was hit once nnd a seaman was killed and fonr were wounded. Tho Iowa was hit once and two men were slightly wounded. A special from Madrid says that so soon as Premier Sagasta was informed of the bombardment of San Juan de Porto Ilico by the American fleet, he conferred with the minister of marine. Admiral Hermujo, who forthwith cabled urgent Instruction* to the com mander of the Spanish Capo Verdo squadron. SPANISH CABINET CRISIS. Tnar of the Mlnletere Resign, Offering Htich Eivaiti ns Illnete mid Weariness. Mai»iii>, May 14—Senor Morot, sec retary for tho colonies, and Senor Oul lon, foreign minister, have resigned. Admiral Ilormejo, minister of marine, and Count I'iquena minister of public works, are also said to have resigned. The retiring ministers offered various excuses, such as illness and weariness, for their withdrawal. Se nor Sagasta begged thoin to remain until the indemnity bill had been passed. It turns out that Admiral Ilcrmejo, on learning of the Cavite disaster, told Senor Sngasta that he must re sign, owing to the delicacy of his po sition, though he felt that ho was not responsible for the state of the de fenses of Manila. Senor Mori-t pleaded weariness and Count I’iquena illness. According to the last forecast tho new ministry will consist of Senor Sagasta as president; Senor C. Crols sard. minister of justice of tho dis solving cabinet, as minister of foreign affairs; Senor Annon as minister of marine; Senor Romero (liron as min ister of justice, and the Duke of Vera gua, the defendant of Columbus, as minister of public works.

The military anthorltlas connected with the foreign establishments here say that Admiral Montejo and his en tire staff of officers ought to be, and undoubtedly will be, court-martialed for allowing themselves to be sur prised by Admiral Dewey’s fleet. One of these officials said: “All of the re ports show that trie Spanish otll cers had no propor lookouts, had ho search lights, no safeguards against sur prises Tlioy invited their own de feat, and a speedy court-martial should determine the penalty of their negligence. It should be dismissal in disgrace, if not something worse.” OLNEY AS A PRECEDENT. Senator*, Who Favor tho Rrtontlon of Philippines, (Juote From a Mat* Paper. Nkw York.
