THE AMERICAN NAVY.
Its Practical UseIcssness as an Arm of
National Defense.

Enron CHIuc: Permit me TO add, in
furthorancc of your admirable editorial of
to-day, few remarks on the subject of
our external defcnses.
Some few years ago one of our New
York pictorials presented to the country
lin connection with Chilian newspaper
boast that the navy of that South Ameri-
can Republic could with case double Cape
Horn and lay New York city under con
tribu,On until the selEproud republic
came TO terms) am amusing portraiture
of an mpenetrable iron-clad Chilian war
vessel, lying of Castle Garden, and the
then Mayor of New York approaching on
tug 10 learn terms.
With reference to that pictorial, Ia
military man myself had conversation
with first lieutenant. of our navy, and u
gentleman Of historic American name,
who declared IL was true: 1--WE trust we
know how to fight and die for our fiag,
he said, "but it is all we can do on the
sea az We are at present situated A half
hours action would undoubtedly sink
any vessel of our navy # brought into
hostile contact with any naval power,
and, barring torpedo deienses, all our sea-
ports are nj the mercy of any one of sew
eral foreign powers" and he named
them, giving Spain as one. But we do
think" he added, THAT we ought to have
fair lighting chance
You truly, as well as forcibly and
puintedly, observe that such armed occu'
patton would be but temporary, but that
in event of a war with Spain "the ulti-
mate ccssion OF all her West Indian pos.
sessions would scarcely indemnify our
people for the losses and sacrifices that
The conflict would probably involve foi
the time being And our fellow citizens
beyond the Aleghanies who in the end
must help TO pay in money and blood for
the disaster, in such dire contingency,
should consider this, and not begrudge us
any expense to enable us TO present an
iron front To the world beyond the Az
lantc, for under existing conditions -four
weeks would suffice to bring mailed En-.
rope to our gates.
Spare nothing to empower our officials
TO prepare against war, and tsituated rs
we happily are no more American treas
ure will be spent, or American blood be
! poured out In hostile conflict, q.
