Unanimity Of the Opinion Almost
Warrants the Conclusion Of
knowledge.
No Certainty That Cervera Is
Not Already on His Way ].
Home to Spain.
Late Developments Warrant the
Theory Of a Change of Plans
By Spaniards.

WASHINGTON, May 2b.-N otwith
standing the persistent rumors in cir.
culation to the effect that a great naval
engagement had been fought in the
Windward passage, resulting in the de.
struction Of the Spanish feet, it can be
stated positively that the navy depart.
ment has no information that tends in
the slightest to confirm these rumors.
Unless the improbable happens, there
is no immediate prospect Of naval en-.
gagement of any magnitude, in the
opinion of the navy department Of.
fcials. The unanmity with which the
best informed express this view almost
warrants the conclusion that it is based
upon knowledge that the hostile fleets
are again far apart. Indeed there is
no certainty that Admiral Cervera Ia
not already bound homeward, provid.
ing he has succeeded in securing sup.
ply of coal, for he could not make the
run back to the Canaries with less than
about 1850 or 5000 tons.
Complete Change of Plsns.
There are, signs in Madrid, that have
been noted here, seeming to warrant
the supposition that there has been q
complete change Of the Spanish plan Of
conducting the war. Indications are
believed to point to q modification, II
not total abandonment of the efforts
to conduct the campaign in Cuba and
the West Indian waters. The natural
conclusion, if this premise is well
founded, would be that the Spaniards
were going to. concentrate their entire
forces to the defenseof the Philippines,
with the view to retaining them in the
event peace is forced upon them, by the
principle of international law which
limits victorious nation in indemni.
flying herself from the vanquished to
the territory she actually occupies
when peace is declared.
So the retreat Of the Spanish squad.
ron from the West Indies would be
significant, first in the danger In which
it would place Dewey Immediately,
and second in the hint it would convey
that the Spanish mind for the first time
contemplates the possibilities of peace.

THE CHILDREN DIVIDED
VOSBURG CASE DECIDED IN THE
SYRACUSE COURTS
The Mother Awarded, the Younger Son
and the Father the Elder One
Mrs. Vosburg to Return

The celebrated case brought in the courts
of Syracuse, n. Y, to settle the family dif-
ferences of Mr.. and Mrs. John s. Vosburg,
was determined yesterday in that city by a
referee appointed by the court to hear the
habeas corpus proceedings brought by Mrs.
Vosburg for the custody of her two sons.
Mrs. Vosburg is the daughter Of j.. S.
Slauson of this city, and married MT. Vos-
burg about fourteen years ago, both belne
possessed of considerable means. They have
not lived together maritally for some years
past, their differences being ascrlbed to
cccentrcties and traits not agreeable TO MIS-
wife shown by Mr.. Vosburg.
The story OF Mr.. Nosburg's alleged at
tempt to keep both of his sons in the east,
and to oblige Mrs. Vosburg to make hel
home their was told in The Herald at the
time of the application for the writ was
filed by Mrs. Vosburg's attorneys at Syra-
cuse.
In the testimony it was alleged by Mrs
Vosburg that her husband was not the
proper person to have charge of the chill
dren, as he was an infdel and had peculiar
ideas regarding manners and society. Nos
burg made denial of these charges and
appears to have convinced the referee that
he was fit father for the care of one son
at least. The judgment OF the referee was
that it was evident that both parents had a
very great affection for the children, and
he thought their future would be best sub
served by giving one to each, awarding Roy
den, who is IL years old, to the father, and
Murray, aged 8, to the mother. Mrs. Vos
burg, with her father, Mr.. Slauson, who has
been with her, will soon return to this city
