Nuestro ilustrado amigo Sr. Bar
Der ha traducido para el BoLETIN las
siguientes del Erploratem:
La conservation por los ingleses,
de sus vastas posesiones en- la India,
parece esta llamada q ser, hoy mas
que nunca, una question vital para
los mismos. FL viaje que ell herede-
ro de la corona britannica esta llevan-
do q cabo en- los momentos presentes
4 aqusllos lejanos paises, prueba ma
ni6estamente esta verdad, y la hace
mas evidente todavla la compra veri-
ticada por el mismo Gobierno ing|es,
de los intereses que ell Khedive de
Egipto tenfa en- la compa11ia del canal
de Suez.
Con esta reciente transaction ase-
gura Ia marina ing'esa el complete
dominic del mar Rojo, cuyas llaves,
digamoslo asi, tiene Ell sus dos extre-
midades: Suez al norte y Alden al
sur. Este dltimo punto del cual la
previsora y habil polltica ing'esa su-
po apoaerarse hace algunos amos, ha
venido a convertirse bajo su dominic
en- una especie de Gibraltar del mar
de las indias.
La naturalcza ha hecho de Alden
una fortaleza inexpugnable. Construi
das en- ella por los ing algunas
obras avanzadas y cubiertas con nu-
merosa artillerfa las posiciones menos
fuertes y mas expuestas, habfa llega-
do a convertirse esta ciudad en- una
plaza de guerra inexpugnable. Pero no
siendo esto sufciente en- presencia de
los adelantos que de dia en- dia tiene
81 arte de la guerra y del perfecciona-
miento de las armas, Sc trata ahora
de sustituir los canones de que estan
erizados los fuertes de Alden, con
otros de grueso calibre, de moderna
construction y en- nimero tai, que la
plaza puede sostener y rechazar los
ataques de cualquiera escuadra, por
numerosa que sea. La guarnicion
que dltimamente Sc componfa de 221
soldados de los cuales 153 eran euro
peos y 68 ind1genas, repartidos en-
tres destacamentos distantes entire 81,
cerca de seis millas, va q ser tambien
reforzada en- notable proportion, y
provista, sobre todo, de artilleros ex-
perimentados y capaces para sacar
todo el partido possible del armamen-
to moderno. Ademas, para la even
tualidad de hostilidades, Sc hara mac
cesible aquella costa, por medic de
un vasto sistema de torpedos organi-
zado delante de la rada.
Data solamente desde el af1o de
1889, la fecha en- que Inglaterra Sc
iizo duef1a de Alden, cuyo punto CO.
diciaba hacia tempo, como un COM
plemento necesario q sus posesiones
en- la India. Ell abordaje piratico he
cho por los habitantes de aquel Ito
raj a un buque ingles varado en- di-
chas aguas, sirvi6 la compafiia de
las indias de excelente pretexto para
.atisfacer sus prop6sitos. FL 19 de
enero del af1o citado, las tropas ingle-
sas tomaron por asalto la ciudad de
Alden, la cual no han abandonado des-
de ent6nces, a pesar de los repetidos
ataques intentados por los arabes para
recobrar una plaza cuyos gloriosos
recuerdos pasados conservan en- sus
tradiciones nacionales.
Situado Alden 4 los 12o 49, de
latitud N y 600 52' de longitud,

A SAN FRANcIsco journal notes with
satisfaction the disposition of large land
owners to part with their surplus acres.
This policy has been especially pursued
in the southern counties, especially in
Tulare and Kern. Here farms with
from eighty to one hundred and sixty
acres have combined to secure the best
system of irrigation yet adopted ON the
Pacific slope Two or three owners of

forty to one hundred and sixty acres.
This example is about to be followed
by others, and the actual reduction of
farms is becoming settled policy,
