QUEEN REGENTS POSITION
Daily Grows More Difficult Austrian Cab
met Will Not Interfere Unless Other
Powers DO--0ur Rights in the
Philippines Outlined.

y oNDoN. May 5.-A dispatch to
the Telegraph from Vienna
Although the position OF the
queen regent Of Spain grows daily
more difficult. no step can be taken
b. the Austrian cabinet In the mat
ter. Notwithstanding the deep and
wide sympathy felt In high quarters
here. 1t is stated at the foreign Of
fee that separate and Isolated action
on the part Of Austria must be care
fully avoided This is only in strict
accord with the principles already
laid down. Moreover, such an attempt
at rendering assistance to the queen
regent might be easily misinterpreted
and besides meeting with the strongest
opposition from those who side with
the Americans. could not fail to give
rise to Misunderstanding in many
quarters.
Accordingly. there is a firm deter
mination here that II Austria takes
any part at all with regard to the
conflict, 1t will be only to take part
In united action by European cabin
cts, and then only II Spain herself
seeks the intervention Of the powers.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1898-05-06

I dert. the eminent lawyer and jurist, who
represented the United States in the
Behring sea commission, in an inter-
view gave his views OF the disposition
Of the Philippines as follows:
THE United States has the right 10
either hold the Philippines for indemnity.
or to keep them altogether as part Of her
/ territory. just as Germany took Alsaee-
Lorraine In the Franco-Prusslan war. we
may keep possession OF them until hos
/ Titles are ended and then their dlsposi-
ton win be one Of the factors in the max
Ing Of peace.
/ I'VE would, OF course, have to respect
the vested rights Of other nations in the
islands. II they have any. These rights
would include coaling stations. liens or
mortgages on custom-house and claims OF
, that nature. Spain cannot give us any
thing more than she owns. II we can
/ find sufficient nearer home, for instance
in Cuba. we would possibly content our
selves with holding the Philippines dur
( ing hostilities for use as a military or
naval base but II adequate indemnity
could not be procured in this hemisphere,
then We could hold Manila until Spain
pays up. Some arrangement would be
made by which we would keep possess
sion for a certain number Of years. while
Spain was paying the installments OF the
indemnity. This Is all a matter Of con-
tract and agreement between nations.
I'm regard to the selling or transfer OF
the islands to another power by the
United States. at could not be done
until We had a 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 disputed title and the coun-
try that purchased 1t would have TO
reckon with Spain.
''The law is the same among nations In
this respect as among prelvate persons.
This law was observed between France
and Austria in 1859, when Piedmont was
turned over to France and by France
handed over TO King Victor Emanuel.
The theory OF modern times Is that
prlnclpality or province should not be
turned over to another without the con-
sent Of the people and a pleblscite is
usually held. as in the case OF Nice and
Savoy. once having secured title from
Spain however. by a treaty OF peace,
there could be no legal objection to our
disposng of the islands either by ceding
or selling them to any nation we choose.
or by offering them to the highest bidder,
but such a proceeding would cause jeal-
ousy and bad feeling among the nations.
But this is not war of conquest. and
do not think the United States would re-
sort to any such practice. But we have
legitimate claim against Spain for the
expenses Of the war and Spain must pay
the costs. when that is done the United
: States. believe, will relinquish all
claims to the Philippine Islands and re-
turn them to Spain"

TO RELIEVE THE CUBANs,

Washington, May 5-Durlng almost the
entire session today the senate had under
consideration the postotiice appropriation
bill The measure carries $99224,SO0, being
very much the heaviest of all the appro-
prlation bills The most important action
taken ON the measure was the adoption
Of the amendment offered by Ttllman OF
South Carolina reducing the number Of
deliveries of mail in all cities OF the
country to not eNceeung four each day
\ lively debate was precipitated by the
amendment of the committee striking out
the appropriation of $4,000 for rural free
delivery, BY close vote of % to S5, the
committee was sustained and the bill now
carries no appropriation for such deliv-
cry,
An important amendment to the bill was
one which would prevent star route con-
tractors from sub-letting their contracts.
In order to get their money they must be
able to swear that they performed the
service themselves
The senate passed an important war
measure authorizing the president and
general officers of the army to supply the
Cuban insurgents with arms and munl-
tlons of war and empowering the officer:

concerned, have not the slightest doubt
that It is in possession OF the American

THE TROUBLE IN SPAIN.

New York, May 5.-A special TO the
World from Madrid says:
Troops are held in the barracks ready
to march at any instant against the
mob or the revolutionists Cavalry and
infantry patrol the streets from night
fall to sunrise. All the public buildings
are crowded inside with foot and mounted
police. In the rest OF the kingdom the
precautions though less visible, are equ-
ally strict, because the court and the
government apprehend graver move
ments still IL a fresh reverse occurs in
CUBE or TO the fleet High handed meas
ures are considered necessary to keep the
adversaries Of the monarchy down until
the moment comes when the rulers of
Spain can declare that honor is satisfied
and that the time has come for the APP
peal to the European governments TO step
in and secure terms OF peace honorable
to Spain.
Premier Sagasta went twice to see the
queen and offered to resign il she be-
lieved a conservative or military cabinet
couiG better defend the dynasty and the
monarchy than the government whose
members stick to their posts now only
from sense of loyalty to the crown
and self-respect, as they do not wish TO
be accused Of abandoning the reins Of
state in the midst of war, The chief fear
is of popular revolution, which every
body can see is brewing. The civil au-
thorities in Madrid got so alarmed at
the attitude of the republicans and Carl
lists that they frankly told senor Sagasta
that they could not answer for order
much longer,
The Barcelona authorities report very
serious condition Of affairs there, the re-
publicans working upon the masses, who
are disconnected because OF the rise In
price of all provisions and the closing of
many Of the factories in consequence of
the loss Of the Cuban and Philippine
markets.
The queen asked Senor Sagasta to re-
main in office. He consented to do so on
condition that she would give permission
to proclaim state of sege in Madrid.
Now martial law rules, Anyone circu-
lating news about the war can be sent
to military prison. Courts martial are
held. One Carllst, one socialist, one mil
itary and one Independent republican pa
per have been seized and prosecuted by
