Ta0se Spanish Gunb0ats.

Thirty Spanish gunboats are being built in
this city, or in the neighborhood, for some
object which up to the present time it is difi-
cult to determine. The Peruvian government
believed that Spain had hostile intentions
towards the Peruvian nation; but this idea
being ridiculed by Serranos agents here we
let it pass. Chile may also be regarded safe.
1t is hardly possible that the proud Dons will
again attempt the undertaking of reconstruct
ing the Dominican republic, and as for this war
like feet being intended for operations against
the Ever Faithful Isle, it is sheer nonsense; for
have we not been informed, time and time
again, by good and reliable authority-Spanish,
of course-that the Cuban revolution is a
mere nothing; that the insurgents have no
government, no money, no men in arms, no sea-
ports, in fact, that they have nothing that can
entitle them to recognition2 To be sure, Spain
has sent troops to Cuba but then it must be
borne in mind that the Spanish treasury is full,
the people are proud and warlike and ambi-
tious for display, and perhaps the forces that
have been or are being sent from Cadiz are
only intended for exhibition and to impress
upon the youthful republic of the United
States what IL might expect if 1t should
dare to recognize the insurgents. What il
four governments have already looked with
favor and sympathized with the rebels? They
are only republics. But that Spain is not
pleased with their action IL evident from the
fact that she has set her foot down and
declared that no further recognition will be
permitted. In face Of all this would it not be
madness for the United States to recognize the
patriots Can anything more forcibly he
asserted in vindication Of non-intervention on
our part? Has not Spain standing army,
a great navy, immense resources and power
full allies Has she not a fleet Of gunboats
building here which, In the event of their
getting to sea and having no Cuban ports to
guard, might, If the United States government
was so reckless as to recognize Cuba, blockade
our harbors and destroy our commerce |?
What il Spain did shelter the Sumter aud the
Alabama before her government recognized
the belligerent rights Of the Shareholders
rebellion Had she not perfect right to do
so, for is she not strong, and was she not at
one time mistress of the seas ? Th,ags have
taken more serious turn than the people
think. Without standing army what could
we do against Spain2 These are thoughts
which are worthy of consideration, serious or
otherwise Is the republic Of the West, then,
In danger ? or what does the threat Of Spain
and Spanish journalists amount TO Simply
hia--idle bombast, and nothing more, Why.

Tho Chinese In California aud the Fomr.
tcenth Amendment.

The decision of Judge Sawyer, of the Dis
trict Court In San Francisco, that Chinese
testimony Is admissible against white men,
under the fourteenth amendment of the fede-
raj constitution, will prove an entering wedge
for the Hnal destruction Of that worse than
Chinese wall Of prejudice which has so long
shut of John Chinaman from all rights that
Californians feel bound to respect. There is,
indeed, nothing in international law to hinder
the United States government from pro-
scribing Chinese immigration, as well as Irish
and German immigration, selfish and short
sighted as such q policy Of prescription
would be in any case. But the fact remains
that all these immigrations have already
become fats accon.phs, and that the develop
ment Of our future national wealth and pros
perity largely depends upon their generous
encouragement. Judge Sawyer's decision win
hasten the time when in California, and
throughout the Union, American citizens,

we are" and laying the foundations of
