UNFORTUNATE TOTS.
Three Children Deserted by
the Mother and Scorned
by Their Father.

Three little tots were found wandering
in the streets of. Hoboken yesterday af-
t~ernoon. They a been deserted by
their mother n scorned by their IA
tber. Their condition was a most pitt
fnl one. and altogether it was one of the
most strangely pathetic cases that ever
came 10 the notice of the Hoboken police.
The little ones are now in the care of
the matron at Hoboken Police H~eadquar-
tiers.
Mrs. Johanna Tinkau, of NO. 2O3 Mad
ison street, about three O'Clock yesterday
| afternoon found the three little babes
| seated on a stoop ait Second and Madison
streets. They were crying as II their
hearts would break. Mrs. Tfnkau kind
ly questioned the little ones and learned
| that they were Gertie, Annie and August
| Enenburg, aged respectively 9, I and 4
years. They said they were looking for
their father, and had been unable to
find him. They had roamed the streets
all day. they said, and were tired, hungry
and sleepy.
Mrs. Tinkau took the little ones to her
home. where she leaned them and gave
them something to eat. Then she took
them to Police Headquarters, where a
strange story came to light. Gertie had
A letter concealed in her clothing, which
was sealed and which she guarded care
fully. The child reluctantly gave the let
ter to Sergeant Flattery, who read it.
IT was an unusual missive. 1t was adj
dressed to John Ellenburg, the fathef of
the children, and was signed by their
mother. The letter briefly stated that
the mother was sick In an hospital in
Brooklyn and that she is unable to any
longer provide for the children. She had
given them their ferriage, and sent them
to their father, whom they sought in
vain.
The police made an Investigation. They
found the father, who said that he did
not want to see his children. Their
mother, he said, had deserted him to
live with a man in Brooklyn, who had
since tired of her. He said that the
story that his wife is in an hospital is
not true, and was concocted for the
purpose of enlisting sympathy. The IA
ther refused to go to Police Headquar-
ters to see his children
The children are now in the j~ardtor's
room. They are pretty and Interesting
and their sad story has enlisted the sym
pathy of even the stoics at Police Head
quarters. m Barck Is taking q
lively interest in the case. and the little
ones will not want for anything.

When the State had rested its case
Lawyer Joseph M. Noonan asked the
Court to direct an acquittal because the
identity of the woman from whom the
pocketbook was alleged to AVE peen
stolen had not been established The only
reason for supposing hat she was Mrs
Joseph Beyers was that a man VINO was
with her handed Policeman Boyle his caro-

THE SPANISH FLEET.
Reports That a Part of 1t Sailed
From St. Vincent.

LONDON. April 23.-It is reported
here on reliable authority that por-
ton of the Spanish fleet which has
been anchored at ST. Vincent, Cape
Verde Islands, has sailed. It's desti-
nation is not known 1t is regarded
as possible that it may have started
to intercept the battleship Oregon and
the gUnboat Marietta. which are now
on their way to Key West from the
Pacific Ocean.
Some persons at Cape Vincent be-
lieve an attack on American seaports
is contemplated.
NEW YORK. April 23.-The Her
AIDS" Washington correspondent tel
egraphs: No confirmation can be OBJ
tanned in Washington of the report
that the Spanish ships have left St
Vincent That it is true is considered
highly probable, in view. of the fact
that official information which has
reached the authorities during the last
few days is to the effect that the fires
in the furnaces of the ships have been
banked and that they have been ready
to proceed to sea the moment orders
were received from Madrid.

over the islands has been under c0n-
sideration. The principal objection
urged against the seizing of the Ha-
Waiian group is that it would make
European nations suspicious of the in
tentions of this Government in regard
to Cuba and might cause international
complications.
Admiral Miller, commanding the Pa
cific naval station, is now at Honolulu
on the gunboat bennington. a long
cipher telegram sent from Washington
to San Francisco went to him by the
steamer Alameda, which left San Fran
cisco for Honolulu Thursday. A Sun
reporter was told by a high official
that Admiral Miller was coming home
to take charge of the naval defenses Of

ing it, and upon all neutral nations, in
the absence Of any disregard of the
treaty engagement and of international
law. Any gross disregard of such law
or treaty obligations would perhaps
provoke the interposition Of any neutral
State affected
Until such list is prescribed the
question whether articles compared are
contraband of war is governed general
ly by the law of nations and specifically
by the treaty stpulatiOns by the bel
Hgerent captor and the neutral State
to whose subject the articles belong.
international law has no hard and
fast rule for the determination of the
question whether articles are contra
band, except the general rule that all
articles of an essentially warlike char
acter and destined for an enemy's use
are contrab band
Many articles, such as provisions
coal, etc, are of an equivocal character.
and if destined for the enemy's use are
deemed cOntraband.
1t follows that if such lists should be
prepared by the United States and
Spain they may be Identical or may be
widely divergent, depending upon the
policy of each Government The action
of each Government will bind only it
self and its own prize courts and neu-
trails. The question whether contra
band or not might therefore depend
upon whether the captOr was an Amer
lean or a Spanard. And shippers in
neutral vessels would not only consider
the goods shipped, but whether destined
for American or Spanish ports, and
whether the goods are included in the
list denounced as contraband by the
one or the other States. This Govern
ment has already announced that it
will not resort to privateering Spain
has announced the same policy. In The
light of the previous declaration by this
Government Spain's announcement
that she will treat our privateers as pi-
rates is brutum fulmen, worthy Of Don
QuixOte. The Spanish Government has
published its intention to exercise the
right of search. The right to do so is
undOubted. But the right can be law
fully exercised only for the purpose of
determining the nationality Of the ship
and its destination, whether its goods
are neutral or enemy, whether contra
band or not, and whether it's conduct
is unneutral or neutral If Spain
adopts the policy adopted by this Gov
ernment, that the neutral flag protects
the goods if the vessel and its conduct
are neutral, only contraband goods III
such ships are subject to capture. OF
course all merchant ships must respect
an effective blockade, on the penalty of
capture and cOnfiscation

PATRIOTIC FISHERMEN.
Cut Wires Of Sandy Hook Mines
That Interfered With Nets.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Men of the
Engineers Corps were employed in
planting additional mines in the waters
of the NarroWs and about Sandy Hook
to-day When this work is completed
only a channel for ships will remain
open. Off Fort Wadsworth it has been
found that shad fishermen, whose acts
have been in the water there. have not
hesitated to cut the cables OF the mines
and torpedoes already planted. 1t was
these fishermen, it is suspected, who
tampered with the cables off Fort Wads-
worth a few nights ago.
To-day the boats from which the en-
gineers were working were armed with
rifles. The Narrows are now patrollcd
every night and a strict watch is main
tanned by day. The first fisherman
caught cutting the cables will be ar
rested, and the next one. according u
the orders issued, will be shot on sight.

THE OREGON WARNED.
Her Commander Knows That War
Has Broken Out.

NEW YORK, April 23.-A Times"
special from Washington says: Inter
est in the fate of the Oregon is rivaling
that of the success of the blockade of
Havana. This interest is intensified
by the fact that the vessel has just
steamed out of the Straits of Magellan
and is creeping slowly up the South
American coast into the zone of danger
She has carried out her programme
thus far with admirable precision. She
was to stop at Punta Arenas SANDY
Point, Chile, where she was to join the
gunboat Marietta, which had preceded
her from Callao by several days in order
to arrange for a supply of coal for her
self and the big ship.
She reached Punta Arenas yesterday
took on 800 tons of coal, and has now
left that coaling station on her way to
MOnteVideO. This much was learned
by the Navy Department yesterday
Captain Charles E. Clark, her COM
mander, is now in possession of the
news that war has broken out between
this country and Spain. He did not
know this when he left Callao, but he
was advised when he left that port TO
be on the lookout for Spanish ships and
to guard against any attack by torpedo
or other vessels.
He was also advised that the Tenn
erario was lying in wait for him at
Buenos Ayres, and would probably sail
down the coast to cross his track AS
Captain Clark now knows that war has
begun he will know what to do with the
Temerario should that little waspish
craft undertake to challenge him. lie

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
No Informa ton Can Be Gained as
to McKinIey's Plans.

NEW YORK, April 23.-A special to
the Sun" from Washington says:
Practically no information is obtaina-
bic at Washington about the reported
intention of the United States to take
possession Of the Hawaiian Islands.
Administration officials in a position to
know will not talk, or profess ignorance
Of any such plans. Members of Con-
gress interested in the annexation Of
Hawaii have been unable to find out
anything about the purpose of the Gov
ernment. There is a general impress
sion that the Administration has not
decided to take a step SO vigorous.
1t is known, however, that the propo-
sitiOn to raise the Stars and Stripes
