D. Vance's Office yesterday afternoon
and made affidavit that he voted in
every ward in the city. He said he

he could not read nor write he
would haLi the card to one OF the

voted under a different names, yot-
ing under the following name: Joe

MUCH SECRECY.
Concluded from First Pagel

secret. and, as the time for the movement
against the Spanish ships draws near a
censorship OF kilograms from Key West has
Deen established. This makes it impossi-
hle 10 obtain direct from Key West news
OF the movement of the armored ships un-
DER the immediate command of Rear Ad-
mlral sampson. All that is definitely known
here is that the four most powerful ships
IN Rear Admiral Simpsons command-the
New York, the Indiana the Iowa and the
Puritan-were ready for a protracted sea
voyage yesterday. Their coal bunkers were
MED TO their capacity and additional sup
plies OF coal were carried in bags on deck
ready 10 accompany them to sea. Reports
that these vessels have sailed east to meet
the Spanish ships have not been confirmed
AT the same time, Commodore Schley's
squadron at Hampton Roads comprising
the Brooklyn, the Massachusetts and the
Texas, with two colliers carrying 5000 tons
OF coal. is ready to sail at a moments no.
tice. Swift auxiliary cruisers are securing
the ocean in search of the Spanish fleet.
These facts point to the theory that there
is to be union of the armored ships under
Rear Admiral Sampson with those under
Commodore Schley at a point in the ocean
previously agreed upon, and that the scouts
rection of the Spanish ships. 1t is not be-
lieved to be possible that the Spanish ships
will be able to avoid all of the scouting
vessels.
AS soon as Rear Admiral Sampson learns
the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet and
the direction in which it is sailing he can
get under way to intercept it, throwing his
panse of sea. and following with his ar
mored vessels in line of battle and ready
TO give night as soon as they come in con-
tact with the enemy.

VIEWS OF JURIsT CoUDERT.
United states May Hold the Philip
mines for Indemnity.

NEW YORK, May 5.-Frederick r. Cou-
dert, the eminent lawyer and jurist who
represented the United States in the Bering
sea commission, in an interview gave his
views of the disposition OF the Philippines
as follows: 1.-The United States has the
right to either hold the Philippines for in
demnty or to keep them altogether part
of her territory, just as Germany took AL
sace-Loraine in the Franco-Prussian war.
We may keep possession of them until hos
tilities are ended and then their disposition
will be one of the factors in the making
of peace. We would, of course, have to re-
spect the vested rights of other nations in
the islands if they have any. These rights
would include coaling stations, liens
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 naval base,
but if adequate indemnity could not be pro-
cured in this hemisphere, then we would
hold Manila until Spain paid up. Some ar
rangement would be made whereby we
would keep possession for certain num-
Der of years while Spain was paying the in
stalments of the indemnity. This is all
matter of contract and agreement between
nations.
I'm 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 would be selling disputed
title, and the country that purchased ii
would have to reckon with Spain The law
is the same among nations in this respect
as among private persons. This law was OBJ
served between France and Austria in 1859,
when Piedmont was turned over by Austria
to France, and by France handed over to
King Victor Emanuel
.'The theory of modern times is that a
principaity or province should not be
turned over to another nation without the
consent of it's people and a plebiscite is
usually held. as in the case of Nice and
Savoy Once having secured title from
Spain, however, by treaty Of peace. there

TORONTO, May 5--Senor Du Bose, late

Washington, lectured to two thousand peo-
pie here tonight on the causes of the pres
ent war. Senior Polo and many prominent
men were present The lecture was in aid
of the Red Cross Society work. and was
delivered in a private capacity. The senior
made severe attack on the American peo-
pie as he traced the history of the trouble
reiterating the Spanish arguments, and
spoke of American senators as border ruff
fans, whose illiterate boorishness is only
equaled by their venalty and ludicrousy
pompous conceit." He urged that American
cupldity for conquest constituted a grave
danger to Europe, Canada and Mexico, and
concluded by comparing the Queen Regent
of Spain with "the bloated politicians
whose countenances depict the lust that is

THE MANILA CABLE.
Views of an Expert as to the Break
Easy to LOcaie the Cut.


CHICAGO. May 5.-Charles il. Summers,
electrician of the Western Union Telegraph
Company. was interviewed to-day concern
iEg the interruption to the cable between
Hong-Kong and Manila. Mr.. Summers said
that the Hong -Kong-Manila cable in a di-
rect line would be 62S miles long, but as
there is undoubtedly some slack il is doubt
less seven hundred miles long. With deli
cate instruments such cable companies
have, the break in the cable could be To-
Gated within half a mile The test would
undoubtedly be made from Hong-kong.
where the English government is supposed
to have all the facilities for building and re-
pairing cables. TO illustrate how close these
tests can be made by delicate instruments,
Mr.. Summers referred 10 test made on
the Western Union cable at the Straits of
five miles long. From the southern shore
test was made some time ago, and "a break
was located within three feet. 1t is Mr..
Summers's opinion that tests have been
made correctly locating within fifty miles
of Manila the break I'm the Kong
cable. The delay may be caused by not
having the necessary machinery for pulling
ND the cable which may be laid al a very
great depth at that particular point. once
the cable is brought to the surface il is
comparatively an easy matter TO make IL
new splice Snd cut out any injuries that
may have been made to the cable. Whether
there has been a cable steamer at Hong
Kong prepared for such work has not been
definitely ascertained. If not, 1T may be
necessary to bring steamer from some dis
tant point, delaying for some time the re-
pair of the cable.
