WHAT'S IN THE WIND Great activity
prevails in the Brooklyn navy-yard. More
than three thousand men are now at work
there, and an additional reinforcement was
put on yesterday. Frigates, sloops-o war,
and iron>clads, are being got ready for sea
with extraordinary energy. If we we're get
ting ready to interfere iii Cuba, and to risk
that awful war with Spain which the New
York Times so deeply breads, we should make
just about such preparations as are now going
forward What's in the wind ?
Nc,o York Sun Of Wednesday.
DATA, in the Baltimore Sun, writes as
follows:
"WAsH1NdToN, D. G., September l.
There is excellent authority for the statement
that the policy of our Government regarding
the Cuban question is to be pushed with
greater vigor than heretofore, and as the re-
suit of the Cabinet deliberations yesterday
Minister Sickles will soon receive instructions
to urge immediate action by the Spanish Gov
ernment on the propositions recently submitted
by himself and Mr.. Paul Foabes. 1t is the
almost unanimous opinion of the leading di-
plomatists here that Spain will finally reflect
the propositions, but will in the mean time
resort to all sorts of expedients for the pur-
pose of delaying final action.
at seems that the Administration enter
tains similar opinion, and consequently Gen.
Sickles will be authorized to push things"

A CALIFORNIA COUNTY WASHING
AwAY.-Alameda county, bordering on
the bay of SanFrancisco, is gradually
disappearing. The force of the waves
washes away a strip of the sandy SOIL vary
ing from three to seven feet every year,
and now that land there has risen greatly
in value, some device is necessary to pro-
tcctit. "Brush moles," 1, c. bundles of
brush foot thick, and ten wide-pinned
down by wooden stakes into the road, are
adopted in the parts of the coasts OF Den.
mark and Germany. Their height de.
peuds on the height of high water. Some
propose to use this device for the protection
of Alameda. The idea is, that the force
OF the waves is broken at some distance
from the shore to such degree that on
reaching it they have lost their power entir-
ly. The mole is placed from a hundred
to hundred and fifty feet outside. Frame
bulkheads have been tried in Alameda and
found wanting.

Heaters for warming their rooms. lfprop-

took fire. The house of Robert V. Kline,
Esq, of this place took fire two weeks ago
from the same cause lu both instan-
ces the heaters were put iutc chimneys
which we're lathed and plastered upon the

We have not much faith in the ability
of our people to compete with the mauutac-
ture-exporting nations Of Europe in bull
dug and running Iron Steamers across the
Atlantic. OF course they can be built and
run if Uncle Sam will loot the bill but he
has too many bills to foot already.
AS to allowing steamships to be built for
us on the Clyde aud the Tyne, admitting
them free of duty, registering them as
American, and christning them Ontario,
Albany, Massachusetts, &c., it will never
70 down. 1t wore waste of breath to
discuss it. Aud the introduction of foreign
materials free of duty will be little more
acceptable. Who can insure that the
dra Kback will not exceed the amount actu-
ally paid into the Treasury?
The best way to encourage American
Stean'ship-building is to offer and pay SC
many dollars per tun for every frst-class
Ocean Steamship that may hereafter be
built, mainly of American materials by
American wcrkmen in American ship
yards. If those who profess deep interest
in American Commerce and Shipping vii
unite with us in asking Congress to favor
this policy, We shall hope for It's adoption

Gen. Thomas has been to Alaska, and
what does he find that we have for our seven
millions and more of sterling coin ? Ice
and snow, of course, aud few abandoned
coal mines, the care of few hundreds or
thousands of degraded Aeut and Koloshe
Indians, most of whom "seem to have no
control over their "passion for strong drink" "
and several millions Of seals which, to be
worth anything, must be protected by a
garrison of from two to three hundred men
with a revenue steamer, at cost that will
probably far exceed all the revenue that
will be derived from them. AS to ever
settling the country, Gen. Thomas, looking
at it with the business eye oe soldier
thinks that to be entirely out ct the ques
tion-for the present, at least. The wei
stocked gardens aud tropical verdure o.
which we have heard so much dwindl,
