OUR NAVY SERVING SPAIN-A CUBAN
PRIVATEER SAILING FROM ENG
LAND


From the N. 7. Sun.
The United States Navy, since the incom-
ing of the present administration, may have
been the admiration of foreign nations, but,
unless that be its essential object, it has been
utterly useless for any good purpose.
Admiral Hoff, after the murder of Wyeth
and Spekeman, visited Santiago de Cuba, and
obtained promise from the Governor that
no more Americans should be executed in his
district without trial. But more Americans
were subsequently murdered, and Consul
Phillips, reporting the facts, was forced to
flee from Santiago for his life. Admiral
Poor was sent to inquire into the matter of
Consul Phillips compulsory fight, and was
afraid to go ashore with him. 1t is useless to
mince words; these are facts.
For the last four months the chief duty OF
the United States feet in the West Indies has
been to guard the life of an unprincipled
traitor in San Domingo, who is endeayoring
to enrich himself by selling his country. AT
the same time, in home waters and since the
cessation of ministerial summer cruises, the
whole duty of eur navy has been coast-guard
duty in the service of Spain.
The climax was reached on Tuesday. The
country had long since accepted the fact, OF
course with indignation, that the Spanish
Minister could order our vessels about where
he might please. But it was not prepared for
the knowledge that this branch of our service
once our national pride-had been placed
at the disposal of private detective force OF
this city. Such, however, is the unpleasant
fact. Mr.. Allan Pinkerton has replaced Secre-
tary Robson. This smart Spanish employe
trumps up a story that vessel, properly
cleared from this port for Port-au-Prince, was
in reality Cuban privateer, and at once
every United States vessel in all the navy
yards from here to Maine is furnished him for
her capture. His remuneration is probably
not dependent on his success; and with such
aid at his command, he ought to drive a
thriving business
| We call his-not Secretary Fishs-atten-
tion to the fact that on the Sd instant q well

Texas. At any rate, such right, if claimed,
will be contested, and the first step of any
new company which Congress may charter
will carry it deep into litigation, and cripple
and retard both enterprises for years.
Further, the proposed line is not such one
as the South needs. Its eastern terminus will
be New Orleans on the Gulf, instead of some
Southern port on the Atlantic. 1t is not to
be uniform in gauge with the roads of the
Southern system, which, without exception,
are five feet wide, while the Texas Pacific
road gauge is fixed by the bill at four feet
eight and half inches. The evident design
of all this is to build up New Orleans by COM
pelliDg the breaking of freight in bulk" at
that terminus, and will please none but the
Senators from Louisiana and Arkansas. The
Memphis and Ell Paso road, on the other hand
connects at the former city with the Southern
system, and has unbroken and direct commu-
nication with the Atlantic coast through the
heart of the Southern States. These facts
should teach Congress the need of changing
the grade of the Texas Pacific road, or of de-
feating the bill altogether. Other facts which
we have cited in this and previous articles
urge, with equal force, the economy and i'm
portance of encouraging the partly finished
Southern Transcontlnental Road" The bill
favoring the latter road is still pending in the
Senate, and we hope is soon to be passed.
