Pregnant testimony indeed to the reputation
which America has acquired, not in the West Indies
only but the world over. We stand good deal
Of mild nonsense but when the occasion comes
Americans are ready with their rifles" Other
authorities, Mr.. Walker for one. who is Colonial
Secretary, told him that the feeling for annexation
to America was, if it existed at all among the
Jamaican whites, confined to a very few persons.
The island has other business than sugar. The
fruit trade with the United States was growing
American capitalists had come in and ex-
perimentng on various industries. So perhaps
che number Of whites in favor Of annexation may
grow.
There are more reasons than a desire for sugar

the Western Continent. More than once Mr.
Froude refers in telling terms to the idea OF
American sovereignty In these waters

fortress, once very strong. in ruins but,
suppose, will be repaired and rearmed unless we
are TO trust to the Yankees, who are supposed to
have established Pax Del in these waters and
will permit no aggressive action there either by
US or against us" On returning TO 81. Lucia he
finds the British squadron outside, the harDor

that they meant more for show than for serious
use. Alasl The stars and stripes on Yankee
trader have more TO say in the West Indies than
the white ensiens of feet of British ironclads."
Not less stirling is Mr.. Froude's picture Of the
state of things in San Domingo. He admires
Yankee clipper schooner lying in Jacmel harbor-
precisely like the schooner which Tom Cringle
commanded before the dockyard martiDets had
improved her into ugliness." Whereupon he moral
lies usual.
