PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
Frederic r. Coudert's Views AS to
Their DisDOsitiOn.

NEW YORK, May 5.-F'rederic X
Coudert, the eminent lawyer and Jurlst,
who represented the United States IN
the Behring Sea Commission, in an in
terview gave his views of the disposi-
ton of the Philippines as follows:
The United States has the right to
either hold the Philippines for indemni-
ty or to keep them altogether as part
of her territory, just as Germany took
in the FrancoPrussian
war. We may keep possession OF them
until hostilities are ended, and then
their disposition will be one OF the
factors in the making Of peace.
I'VE would, of course, have to re-
spect the vested rights of other ma
tions in the islands, if they have any
These rights would include cOaling sta
ton, liens or mortgages 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
holding the Philippines during hostil-
tiles for use as a military or naval
base, but if adequate indemnity could
not be procured in this hemisphere,
then we would hold Manila until Spain
pays up Some arrangement would be
made whereby we would keep possess
sion for certain number of years,
while Spain was paying the install
ments of the indemnity. This is all a
matter of contract and agreement be-
tween 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 disputed title, and the coun-
try that purchased it would have to
reckon with Spain.
The law is the same among nations
in this respect as. among private per-
sons. This law was observed between
France and Austria in 1869, when Pied
mont was turned by Austria over to
France and by France handed over to
King Victor Emanuel.
"Once having secured title from Spain
by a treaty of peace, there could be no
legal international objection to our dis
posing of the islands, either by ceding
or selling them to any nation we chose
or by Offering them to the highest bid
der but such a proceeding would cause
jealousy and bad feeling among the ma
tions.
But this IS not a war of conquest
and I do not think the United States
would resort to any such practice. But
We have a legitimate claim against
Spain for the expenses Of the war, ana
Spain must pay the costs. When this
is done. the United States, I believe
will relinquish all claims to the Philip
pine Islands and return thom to
Spain"

SUNS TELEGRAPH SERVICE.
The New York Newspaper Loses Its
Suit Against Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 4.-Judge LacOmbe
in the United States Circuit Cort has
denied the motion of the New York
Sun for temporary injunction
pendente lite. restraining the Associ-
ated Press from prohibiting its news
papers from buying or using the
Suns" service. Judge Lacombe in his
opinion says
''The case at bar is evidently not
one arising under the Antitrust Act Of
1890. Complainant has brought a suit
in equity for an injunction, but by the
terms of the Antitrust Act that form
of relief is confined to the United States.
Congress, when it passed the Act of
1890 (as such Act is construed by the
Supreme Court. created a wholly new
offense, unknown to the law as it was
then administered in the courts, and
which had been omitted. probably daily.
ever since this country began to have
any trade at all. 1t was quite to be
expected that Congress would provide
special remedies for the violations of
the terms of this statute, and to such
remedies all persons claiming to be
aggrieved by acts which are offenses
only because this statute makes them
so should be restricted.
For a similar reason complainant
cannot maintain this suit in equity un-
der the New York statute concerning
agreements of combinations in re-
straint of trade. That statute empow-
ers the Attorney General to enforce it
by suit in equity.
There are averments in the COM
plaint that the acts of defendant and
its officers, by which complainant is
aggrieved, are the result of a malicious
combination to injure complainant
without just cause of excuse, inspired
by ill-will and a deliberate intention
TO harm the complainant without refer
ence to any lawful exercise of defend
ants rights. But there is a conflict
of evidence as to the facts asserted,
defendants vigorously denying in their
affidavits the averments of complain
ant, and it is not the practice in this
circuit to grant preliminary injunctions
when there is such a conflict as to the
essential facts. Such relief must be
sought at final hearing, when the testi-
mony of conflicting affidavits may be
submitted to the test of crosse exam
inatiOn."

WHY HE HAD TO MOVE.
Unfortunate Lived Next Door to a
Doctor With Night Calls.

''Why, man. said the landlord to q
tenant whom he had recently secured
for a house that had been unoccupied
for several months, you're not going
to vacate so soon? You've only been
there a month"
Il know it, and a month more would
be the end of me. / am going to get a
house way out in the suburbs and in
the center of big lot You'll never get
me into a double house again as long
as l live. I'd rather take the family
and camp out
The place is all 1 told you it was.
sir, good house. good neighborhood. and
everything in good repair I'll look to
you for the rent until the end of the
term"
That's all right, and I'll pay it. I'm
not mean enough to try to sublet it,
either. One thing you didn't tell me,
that the man in the other end of the
house is a doctor and that he seems to
have trained his patients to call on him
at night. 1 haven't had any sleep worth
speaking of in the whole three weeks.
Coming up on the porch they reach my
door first They ring the bell as though
it were q fire alarm and then begin
pounding on the door. When I'm forced
to go to the door to prevent its being
broken in and to give the rest of the
folks little show to sleep, it's Get into
your clothes, Doc. and come right over
to the house, or, Jimmie has the
Group or, Baby's having an awful
time with his teeth or.etWhy didn't
you call this evening as you agreed to?'
If l put my head out of the window
and try to explain they get hot, tell
me l had better take in my sign, bet
ter retire from business, or something
worse. I'll bring you the keys this
evening. g."-Detroit Free Press.

CIENFUEGOS BOMBARDED.
Not Only the Batteries Si1enced
But the Town Being SheIled.

NEW YORK, May "A special to the
Press" from Key West says:
Cienfuegos has been bombarded Not
only did the Marblehead silence the
batteries of the town on the afternoon
of April 18th, but shelled the town it
self, playing havoc with the buildings,
and driving thousands of the inhabi-
tants to the interior.
The shooting at the forts was at
1000 yards. AS soon as the forts were
disabled Captain Mccall ordered that
the five-inch guns be given an eleya-
ton to reach 5000 yards. Firing be-
gan with the starboard batteries, fol-
lowed by the port.

THE ARGoNAUTA'S MAIL.
It May Prove Very Important
Capture.

NEW YORK, May 5.-A special to
the Tribune" from Key West says:
The mail bags on the Spanish steam
er Argonauta, which was brought in
by the Marblehead yesterday, may
prove most important capture. There
were twelve in all. They contained
mail both to and from Havana, some
confusion having resulted when the all-
thorities arranged to send everything
by way of Cienfuegos to avoid the
blockade of the northern coast of Cuba.
One letter from Havana under date
of April 26th, spoke of suffering among
the poorer classes of the population
who were entirely without means Of
support The writer himself said he
did not know where he was to get his
dinner. Another letter spoke of suffer
ing. but apparently the Government
had a fair amount of supplies for the
soldiers. A large amount of rice had
been imported by Spectators, who fore
saw the blockade and placed it in a
warehouse. Bianco was expected to
seize this
The Argonauta had cargo chiefly
of provisions intended for Havana The
suggestion has been made that these
food supplies be sent by the United
State, under convoy of Warships to re-
lieve the reconcentrados
The mail taken shows that the con-
dition of the Spanish in Eastern Cuba
was desperate. They were then on the
the point of yielding some of the small
er garrisoned cities held by them. The
later report that the Spanish garrison
at Bayamo has capitulated to the in
surgents confirms the statements in
these letters, and the troops could no.
hlod out They were badly off for both
food and ammunition.
1t will not be surprising if news comes
before long that the Spaniards have
abandoned Santiago. If the port was
blockaded they would be forced to
do so.
