Lik ely to BE Considerable Trouble Over
Final Disposition of tho
Philippines.
NEW YORK, May IA special to
The World from Washington says:
There is considerable difference OF
opinion in congress over the question OF
he ding the Philippines. Everyone
comedies that they are valuable pos
session, bat it is thought by some that
they would be source Of weakness.
The opponents of Hawaiian annexation
are almost to man in faver Of dispos-
ing of the islands, while ON the other
hand the friends of annexation believe
the United States should hold the
islands permanently.
One thing seems certain. If 1t Is
concluded that the islands are to be
knocked down to the highest bidder, a
coaling station will be held by the
United States. Senator Stewart of
Nevada said in an interview that GER
tain, death is in store for any political
party which attempts to dispose OF the
islands. This feeling is quite preva.
lent in congressional circles. The
members of the senate foreign relations
committee, except Clark and Gray, are
understood to be in favor of holding
the Islands. The house committee is
divided on the same lines as on the
question of Hawaiian annexation,
tonr members, Messrs. Clark, Howard,
Williams and Dlnsmore being against
the plan. .
"A senator, who is in the condolences
of the administration, said: ''The
president is in favor of holding the
islands temporarily and looks to their
permanent acquisition, although he is
not settled in che conviction that this
would be advantageous to the United
Estates.
The Monroe doctrine will play con-
tsiderable part in final settlement of the
Philippine question. There are those
who contend the holding of the islands
would be departure from the true
Fmeaning of the Monroe doctrine.
One argument advanced by those III
favor of holding the islands is that the
United States would incur the dis
Ipleasure of other great powers if the
islands are sold to some one of them.

acceptable to Emperor Francis Joseph
of Austria, and it is understood to have
been passively accepted by France,

Shortly after the steamer passed her,

The disaster, the dispatch adds, was
apparently caused by the explosion of

been running all available cars to the
park and as rapidly as they arrive they
are loaded with camp equipments and
horses, supplies, etc. The work Of
moving the big command during the
next few days as they are expected to
do is an immense job for the railroads.
They had received no intimation of
the sudden orders and had made no
adequate preparations. The two lines
to Tampa, the Southern and Western
Atlantic, are doing everything possible,
but the indications are now that the
first troops will not get out before
morning. The first ont will probably
be the infantry division, composed of
the Second, Seventh, Eighth, Sixteenth
and Twelfth regiments. Five hundred
passenger coaches to carry the men to
Tampa will be available by night.
Colonel Sheridan, of General Brooke's
staff, speaking for the general. at noon
said:
1.-THE order does not say rush to the
front; 1t simply instructs us to get
there as soon as we conveniently can.
OF course we will move as rapidly as
possible, but it will probably be several
days before all are out. There are 5000
men, with hundreds of horses and a
large amount of equipment in the park.
and the whole business cannot be
moved within a few hours"
Colonel Sheridan refused to give an
opinion about what the order meant.
The majority of the officers. however.
do not hesitate in saying that it means
they will land.in Cuba as soon as they
