Thinks Spain WIN Come Over.

New York, May HILLARY A. Her
bert, secretary of the navy during
President Cleveland's last term, was
seen last night by a World correspon-
dent in Washington, who asked him
what in his opinion, would be the gem
eral destination Of the Cape Verde
squadron. He replied: Il have been
Informed that the Spanish fleet has
gone to Cadlz. If this Is so. ! think
the Spaniards propose to consolidate
their fleet before attempting to cross
the Atlantic.
"They will. in my opinion, get to.
gether as strong a fleet as possible and
will then sail for America. do not
think II will ever be necessary for
our vessels to attack the Spanish
coast.
'If we capture the Philippines, Porto
Rico and Cuba. we will practically end
the war. and / believe the Spanish
navy will be forced to come here and
give battle. No dynasty could live in
Spain that should refuse to do this"

DISCUSSION IS PREMATURE.
Talk About The United States Selling or Keep
ING the Philippines.


New York. May ia special to the
World from Washington says:
There is considerable difference of
opinion in Congress on the question
of holding the Philippine Islands.
Every one comedies that they are n
valuable possession. but 1t Is thought
by some they would be a source of
weakness. The opponents of Hawaiian
annexation are almost to n man ip ia
vor of dlsposing of the islands. while
on the other hand the friends of annex
alton believe the United States should
hold the islands permanently.
one thing seems certain. If 1t is con-
cluded 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 IN interview that GER
tain death is In store for any political
party which attempts to dispose of the
! Islands. This feeling is quite prevalent
in congressional circles.
The members of the Senate foreign
relations committee, excepting Clarke
and Gray, are understood to be In ia
vor of holding the islands. The
same lines as on the question of Ha-
waiian annexation--four members,
Messrs. Clarke. Howard, Williams and
Dinsmore being against the plan.
A senator who is in the confidence of
the administration says: 1.-THE Presi-
dent is in favor of holding the islands
for n while and looks to their perma-
nent acquisition, although he Is not
settled In the conviction that this
would be advantageous to the United
States"
The Monroe doctrine will play an
important part in the final settlement
of the Philippine question. There are
those who contend that the holding of
the islands would be a departure from
the true meaning of the Monroe doc
trine.
II is generally understood that If the
United States are to have permanent
Jurisdiction over the island our navy
will have to be increased in order to
defend them against foreign attack.
An argument advanced by those in IA
vor Of holding the islands is that the
United States would incur the displeas.
ure Of other great powers II the islands
are sold to some of them.
England. they say, would oppose their
sale to France France would object
to their disposal to England. and Japan
would not favor the sale of the Asiatic
sea possessions to either. Germany,
too. might have a hand in the matter,
and ask the United States to hold the
islands or cede them to Spain in con-
sideration of money indemnity.
Senator VIM. L. Chandler of New
Hampshire said;
Il would not favor holding the
islands permanently. We should get
indemnity for them. but II would he a
departure from the Monroe doctrine to
set up a permanent form OF govern
ment In the Asiatic sea. II would be
well, however, for the United States to
hold a coaling station. This we need
not only In the Asiatic. but In all parts
of the world. Where could Dewey
have rested his foot had he been unable
to take the Philippine Islands? This
is an object lesson"

MIGUEL JOvER TO DE RELEASED.
Carried an American Cargo-Other Prize
Vessels Captured from Spain.

New York, May 1.-THE prize COM
missioners have decided to recommend
the release OF the steamer Miguel
lover on the ground that she carried
an American cargo and that the time
for her departure from an American
port had not elapsed, says the Key
West correspondent of the Tribune.
The Miguel Jover is one of the finest
vessels captured by the blockading
squadron and her release means the
loss of nearly 100000 to her captors.
1t is said ON excellent authority that
the Buena Ventura, the first shin
taken, has been held to be a lawful
prize. Judge Locke. Of the United
States district court, who will hear and
pass on the prize cases, Is expected
here tomorrow, and II Is believed that
he viii have adjudlcated all the cases
now on hand by May 20 at the latest.
The members OF the American Red
Cross who left New York with the idea
OF succuring the starving reconcentra-
dos In Cuba have found an excellent
field for their lnbors here In Key West
where there are nearly 200 Spaniards
mostly fishermen on vessels captured
while running the blockade and with
out means OF subsistence. Most OF these
unfortunate men have lived on fish
since they were captured and none of
them have had n chance to obtain food.
as under the law they are now per-
mitted to leave their vessels The naval
officers here have no authority to sup
ply the captives with food from the
ships in the harbor, SO their lot is far
from being enviable
When Miss Clara Barton received
word of their plight she sent DIR. Egan,
the chief medical officer OF the expe-
dition, with several attendants. around
among the feet OF prizes TO distribute
food. On one of the larger smacks DR..
Egan found that none OF the crew had
had ANYTHING to eat but fish for several
days. He furnished bread. potatoes and
salt meat to the crew. so that the CON
tinuity of Friday diet might be changed
When the prize cases are settled the
government will care for and feed the
mn taken on board captured vessels.
