lO Their Final Uta-
position.
WASHINGTON , May 12. A Senator
who is in the confidence of the admin
istration said : "Tho President is in
favor of holding1 the Philippine islands
temporarily and looks to their perma
nent acquisition , although ho is not
settled in the conviction that this
tvould bo advantageous to the United
States. "
The Monroe doctrine will play a
considerable part in the final settle
ment of the Philippine question.
Thcro are those who contend the hold
ing of the islands would be a depart
i ure from the trno meaning of the Monroe -
roe doctrine. An argument advanced
by those in favor of holding the
islands is that the United States
would incur the displeasure of other
great powers if tha islands are sold to
some ono of them.
One thing seems certain. If it is
concluded that the islands are to be
knocked down to the highest bidder a
coaling station will bo held by the
UniU-d States. Senator Stewart of
Nevada said in an interview that cer
tain death is in store for any political
party which attempts to dispose of
the islands. This feeling is qulta
prevalent in Congressional circles.
The members of the Senate foreign
relations committee , excepting Clark
and Gray , are understood to bo in
favor of holding the islands. The
House committco Is divided on the
same lines as on the lines of the
Hawaiian annexation four members ,
Mr. Clark. Mr. Howard , Mr. Williams
and Mr. Dinsmore , being against the
plan.
OREGON THEIR MATCH.
Senator Dlor nn Bays the Battleship
Conld Defeat the Cnpo Vorclo Fleot.
WASHINGTON , May 12. A group of
nenators were discussing the where
abouts of the Cape Verde fleet , and
the hope was expressed by several
that tbo fleet had not gone after the
Oregon.
"Well , I hope it has , " said Senator
Morgan. "When I xvas out in San
Francisco last summer I went aboard
the Oregon , and I don't believe there
is a finer battleship afloat lam con
fident that , if the Capo Verde fleet
should try to capture her she would
give a grand account of nerself. Her
captain and her crew are a gallant sot
of fellows , and I believe they would
bo able to beat oil the whole Capo
Vcrdo fleet. The Oregon has four 33-
inch guns and her gunners are so ex
pert that I don't believe any
of those Spaniah vessels would
bo able to got near enough to her to
do her any great damage. They
might shoot away the whole of her
top works , and she would still have
cr four 13-inch guns to operate on
icr enemy , for she is so built that
when her whole top is shot away she
becomes a perfect monitor. She is
really a monitor and a battleship in
one. If she did go down I would be
willing to wager that at least three
of the Spaniah fleet would go down
with her. * '
It is said of Captain Clark , the com
mander of 'tho Oregon , that he is ono
of the roost fearless men in the navy.
The story is told of him that when he
had the monitor Monterey out in a
sea so heavy that the monitor was
rolling frightfully , the captain lashed
Limsclf to the mast and had the
crew swing the turrets , saying
that he was anxious to see what
the Monterey would bo able to
do in that kind of sea. Jvery
tirno the turrets were swung around
the Monterey seemed to turn almost
clear over , but Captain Clark had the
operations continued until he was en
tirely satisfied. He was sent to San
Francisco especially for the hazard
ous undertaking of bringing the Oregon
gen around to tha Atlantic , tha Navy
department having the highest confi
dence in l is gallantry and his seaman
ship.
Booth Hua Ueen Slighted.
"WAKIIIKOTON , May 12. There was
some discussion by the Sanate in ex
ecutive session because none of the
nominations for staff officers in the
army sent in by the President were
from the South. Senator Money
raised the question when the refer
ence of the nominations was made
and he and Senators Bute , Bacon and
.Lindsay all commented upon the fact.
Their speeches were not in the nature
of faultfinding , but the omission ,
they said , was patent to all.

MADRID , Mujr 12. It is only indi

progress of the war by tha people
hero.
' For tlio ttmo being1 ovcryona i < engaged -
gaged wi h coacidoratUm of the min
isterial crisis. Upon Us solution de-
pr.nds tha immediate action of Spain.
If the cabinet weathers the storm ,
it will oraorgu from it either inMruct-
ed to prosocuta the war vigorously or
else empowered to take stops for the
re-establishment of pcaco with the
least possible delay.
From careful consideration of the
ministry's action it is more than probable -
able that the latter solution will bo
more in accordance with the members'
personal desires' The question is ,
Will they be 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 the 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
same time giving the ministry any
ground for saying later that peace
was concluded by the will of the na
tion's representatives and not by that
of the gsvernuient's party majority.
The opposition will not help the
government to secure peace , as later
it may overthrow the Liberals upon
this ground. Which of the two parties
ministerial or opposition will bo
the stronger , is the one object of in
terest at present.
There is a growing current of feel
ing that to pursue this disastrous war ,
! now that it lias been proved that ,
i while Spain's courage is always equal
j to the test , her financial , military 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. Ho is already paying
about twice as much as fo merly for
the loaf of bread that plays such an
important role in his nourishment ,
and he is beginning to erct desperate.
A MUTINY IN HAVANA.

Whan the American Fleet Appanred.
NEW YOKE , May 12. Havana har
bor , on board the Danish schooner
Rohl , May 1 , via Galveston , May 10.
"Hardly a week has gone by sinca the
blockade of Havana was begun , " says
the correspondent of the New York
Evening Sun , "and already the effects
are so bearing oa the city as to make
it practically impossible to long con
tinue 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
ia , 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 castla 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 modern 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 sourca o * great an
noyance to the government , as the
only available supply is from the Al-
bear canal , which brings water from
Vcnto spring , some six miles from
Havana. These waterworks , although
not yet in the hands of the insurgents ,
will soon be seized by them and the
supply cut off. Of course not only
Havana will be left short of water ,
but the Moro and other batteries \vill
likewise be cut off. "

WASHINGTON , May 14. At 7:20
o'clock this morning the navy depart
ment received the following dispatch
from Admiral Sampson. It is dated
St Thomas , May 12 , and ia as fol
lows :
"A portion of the squadron under
my command reached San Juan this
incrning at daybreak. No armed ves
sels were found in Che port. As soon
as it was sufficiently light I com
menced attack on the batteries de
fending the city.
"This attack lasted about three
hours and resulted in much damage to
the batteries and incidentally to a
portion of the city adjacent to the bat
teries.
"The batteries replied to our fire
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
ho attacked with only a portion of his
fleet is taken to indicate tliat he did
not find it expedient to take the entire
squadron into the harbor , though it is
not believed he has separated his fleet
FORT DE FRANCE , Martinique , May
13. San Jaun , Porto Rico , has fallen
before the terrific fire of Admiral
Sampson's fleet With its "Remoraber

The men on the other ships , nerved
by th3 sight of it , worked with the
precision of machinery.
The guns were served with ffreat
accuracy and their fire was appalling.
The big guns of the battleships
Iowa and Indiana pounded away at
the fortifications and the heavy ord

amid a hail of steel and bursting
shells.
' The monitors ran closer in , and
their fire xvas steady and well direct

"The Spaniards fought with dogged
desperation , but it was evedent , after
the battle reached its hottest , that
they could not hold out against the
awful attack of Sampson's fleet

In conclusion , the dispatch of the
Evening News says the Americans did
not attempt to take possession or de
stroy the town beyond razing the
fortifications.
All the American warships , the dis
patch says , except the Montgomery ,
isteamod in ellipticaLforniation before
the San Juan forts , which fired twenty
to thirty guns , seven of which wore
good guna The fleet fired too low ,
but at the second discharge they got
the elevation and soon silenced Moro
fort and set fire to the town , driving
the Spaniards from their guns re
peatedly.
The shore guns fired hundreds of
shots. The Now York was hit once
and a seaman was killed and four
were wounded. The 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 Rico by the American fleet , he
conferred with the minister of marine ,
Admiral Uermejo , who forthwith
cabled urgent instructions to the com
mander of the Spanish Cape Verde
bquadron.
SPANISH CABINET CRISIS.
Fonr of the Ministers Resign , Offering
Such Kxt'U es as Illnets and Weariness.
MADKID , May 14. Senor Moret , sec
retary for the colonies , and Senor Gul-
lon , foreign minister , have resigned.
Admiral Bermcjo , minister of marine ,
and Count Piquena. 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 them to remain
until the indemnity bill had been
passed.
It turns out that Admiral Bermejo ,
on learning of the Cavite disaster ,
told Senor Sagasta 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 Morot pleaded
weariness aud Count Piquena illness.
According to the last forecast the
new ministry will consist of Senor
Sagasta as president ; Senor C. Crois-
sard , minister of , justice of the dis
solving cabinet , as minister of foreign
affairs ; Senor Aunon as minister of
marine ; S < ? nor Romero Giron as min
ister of justice , and the Duke of Vera-

May 14. The remarkable feature-o !
the bombardment wis the bad marks
manship of the Spannish gunners.
Hardly a shot from the fort struck
the ships. Most of the Spanish pro
jectiles fell very wide and at the close
of the engagement the fortifications
had a very dilaoidated appearance , but
the guns were as active as ever.
The United States Monitor Terror
had a magnificent half hour's duel
with the forts. The batteries bravely
threw shot and shell about her until
she seemek to occupy the center of a
great geyser basin. The Spanish gun
ners were crazed by excitement and
sometimes dropped their shells a mile
away from the Terror. The latter
fired one shot to the fort's three , and
when the Monitor retired she did so
slowly , contemptuously , still firing at
the Spanish forti. The Spaniards
continued to fire on her until she was
miles out of range.

influential of the great powers of
Europe , have unofficially exchanged
views ® n the opportuneness of a move

of further prosecuting the war and
inducing her to stie for peace on the
basis of the rclinquishmcnt of Cuba ,
the promise of a war indemnity , and
the occupation of Manila by Admiral
Dewey until the war indemnity is
paid.
The military authorities connected
with the foreign establishments here
siy 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 Dawey's fleet Ono
of these officials said : "All of the re
ports show that the Spanish offi cers
had no proper lookouts , had bo search
lights , no safeguards against sur
prises. They invited their own de
feat , and a spaedy court-martial
should , determine the penalty of their
negligence. It should be dismissal in
disgrace , if not something worse. "
