SAN FRANCISCO, May 4-The steamer
City of Dawson, built at North Beach, has
been shipwrecked before she reached the
water. She was to have launched yester-
day and towed around to Folsom street
wharf to receive her machinery. Every
thing was ready for the launching, the last
obstruction in her way was knocked out
and the boat began to slide toward the
water. Her stern just touched the bay
when the ways broke down and the City
of Dawson ended her first voyage in ship
wreck. She now lies with her stern in
the water and her bow, badly damaged,
high and dry on the rocks.

THE LAWS OF NATIONS
AS AFFECTING THE CASE OF THE
PHILIPPINES
LAND CAPTURED MAY BE KEPT
Or May Be Sold to Any Other Nation
as the United States May
See Fit
associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK, May 4.-Frederick R. Cou,
dert, the eminent lawyer and jurist. who
sea commission, in an interview, gave his
views of the disposition Of the Philippines
as follows:
1.-THE United States has the right to either
hold the Philippines for indemnity or to
keep them altogether as part Of her terri
tory. just as Germany took Alsace-Lor-
laine in the French-Prussian war. We
may keep possession Of them until hostili-
ties are ended, and then their disposition
will be one Of the factors in the making
of peace.
I'VE would, Of course, have to respect the
vested rights Of other nations in the is
lands, if they have any. These rights would
include coaling stations. liens or mort.
cages on custom houses and claims Of that
nature. Spain cannot give us any more
than she owns.
IF we can find sufficient indemnity
nearer home, for instance in Cuba, we
would possibly content ourselves with hold
ing the Philippines during hostilities for
use as a military or naval base, but IL
adequate indemnity could not be procured
In this hemisphere, then we would hold
Manila until Spain pays up. Some ar
rangement would Be made whereby We
would keep possession certain number
OF years while Spain was paying the in.
stallments of the indemnity. This is all a
matter Of contract 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, which can be
obtained only by treaty of peace with
Spain, in which she cedes the islands to
US. otherwise we would be selling a dis
puted title, and the country that purchased
1t would have to reckon with Spain.
1.-The law Is the same among nations in
this respect as among private persons.
This law was observed between France
and Austria in 1859, when Piedmont was
turned over by Austria to France, and by
France handed over to King Victor Eman-
ue.
"Once having secured title from Spain
by treaty of peace, there could be no legal
international objection to our disposing of
the Islands, either by ceding or selling
them to any nation we chose, or by offer
ing them to the highest bidder, but such a
proceeding would cause jealousy and bad
| feeling among the nations.
But this is not a war of conquest, and
1 do not think the United States would re-
sort to any such practice. But we have
| a legitimate claim against Spain for the
| expenses of the war and Spain must nav
the costs. When this is done the United
| States, 1t Is believed, will relinquish all
claims against the Philippine islands and
return them to SPAIN"

punished by Critic in the ring last week,
was not concluded today. Considerable
testimony was taken and it was all to the
effect that there was no severe punish
ment apparently inflicted upon Mccarthy.
Even the city attorney, who assisted in
the prosecution, was present at the ring
side. as was also the chief Of police and
eight of his officers, and nobody thought
Mccarthy was severely punished.

CAPTURE
CUBAN CONDITIONS SHOWN
The Situation in Eastern Cuba Des-

Verge Of Success
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK. May ga special to the
Tribune from Key West says:
The mail bags on the Spanish steamer
Argonauta, brought In by the Marbieheao
yesterday, may prove a most important
capture. There were twelve in all. They
contained mail both to and from HAVANA
some confusion having resulted when the
authorities arranged to send everything
by way of Cienfuegos to avoid the blockaoe
Of the northern coast oDCuba. .e..
One letter from Havana, under date OK
April 26th, spoke of suffering among the
poorer classes of the population. who we're
utterly without means Of supper The
writer himself said he did not know where
he was able to get his dinner. Another
letter spoke OF sdifering, but apparently
the government had fair amount Of sup
plies for the soldiers. A large amount OF
rice had been imported by spectators, who
foresaw the blockade, and placed 1T IN
warehouse. Blanco was expected to seize
this.
The Argonauta had a cargo chiefly of pro-
visions intended for Havana. The sug-
gestion has been made that these food
supplies be sent by the United States I'M
der convoy of warships to relieve the re-
concentrates.
The mail taken shows that the condi-
ton Of the Spanish in Eastern Cuba was
desperate. They were then on the point
of yielding some Of the smaller garrisoned
cities held by them. The later report that
the Spanish garrison at Bayamo has cap
itulated to the insurgents confirms the
statements in these letters. and the troops
could not hold out. They were badly on
for both food and ammunition.
It will not be surprising If news comes
before long that the Spaniards have aban-
doned Santiago.
If the port was blockaded, they would be
! forced to do so.

MADRID, May 4, 10 a. m.-The Madrid

The Spanish Transatlantic liner Colon

Liberal, predict grave events. The Cabinet,
