THE FATE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Says the United States Can Hold Them
For Indemnity or Keep Them as Part
of Her Territory-To Sell the Islands a
Valid Title to Them Is Needed.
Frederic R. Coudert, the eminent
lawyer anG jurist who represented the
United States in the Bering sea COM
mission, gave to the New York World
recently his views of the disposition of
the Philippines as follows:
' "The United States has the right to
either hold the Philippines for indem-
nifty or to keep them altogether as part
of her territory, just as Germany took
Alsace- Lorraine in the Franco Prussian
war. We may keep possession of them
until hostilities are ended, and then
their disposition will be one of the fac
tors in the making of peace.
"We would, of course, have to re-
spect the vested rights of other nations
in the islands, if they have any. These
IlSuUp WOulu luGluuc COdJluS oUullOuS,
liens or mortgages on custom houses
and claims of that nature. Spain can
not give to US any more than she owns.
"If we can find sufficient indemnity
nearer home, for instance III Cuba, we
would possibly content ourselves with
holding the Philippines during hostili-
ties for use as military or naval base,
but if adequate indemnity could not be
procured in this hemisphere, then we
would hold Manila until Spain paid
up. Some arrangement would be made
whereby we would keep possession for
a certain number of years while Spain
was paying the installments of the in
demnity. This is all matter of con-
tract and agreement between nations.
In regard to the selling or transfer
Of the islands to another power by the
United States, that could not be done
until we had valid title to the islands,

Loading Transports at Tampa.

TAMPA BAY HOTEL, Fla, May IL
Everything possible is being done to
facilitate the work Of loading the trans
ports at Port Tampa with ammunition
and supplies for the expedition. All
last night and all of today hundreds of
men were kept busy unloading the war
material from the freight cars and
carefully slowing it away in the trans
ports. This part of the work will be
practically concluded by tomorrow
night and the ships in the slip will drop
anchor in the bay to make room for
other transports.

Active Movement Against Cuba.

KEY WEST, May lit is said here
that if the report that the Spanish fleet
has returned to Spain proves to be cor
rect, an active movement against Cuba
may occur in As hours. 1t is possible
that Rear Admiral Sampson at Porto
Rico and Commodore Remey here may
strike simultaneously. If it We're de-
cided to land troops at Bahia Honda,
Matanzas or any other point, the ves-
sells here, together with the ships on
the blockading station, would have no
difficulty in covering a landing with
the aid of the heavy armored fighting
ships.

Byron on Spain.

byron Du Spalus
Here all We're noble save nobility.
None hugged a conqueror's chain save fallen
chivalry.
Such be the sons of Spain, and strange the
fate
They fight for freedom who We're never freel
A kingless people for u nerveless state,
Her vassals combat when their chieftains
flee.
True to the veriest slave of treachery,
Fond of land which gave them naught but
life
Back to the struggle, batfied in the strife,
War, war is still the cry-war even to the
knife!
Ye who would more of Spain and Spaniards
know,
Go read whate'er is writ of bloodiest strife.
Whate'er keen vengeance urged on foreign foe
Can act is acting tlere against mans life.
From flashing scimter to secret knife
War moldeth there each weapon to his need,
So may such foes deserve the most remorseless
deedl
Flows there tear of pity for the dead?
Look DER the ravage of the reeking plain.
Look on the hands with female slaughter red.
Then to the dog" resign the unburied slain.
Then to the vulture let each corse remain.
Albeit unworthy of the prey birds nav,
Let their bleach'd bones and Dlood's un-
bleaching stain
Long mark the battlefield with hideous awe.
Thus only may our SONS conceive the scenes
