bringing about peaceful settlement of
the CHILEAN difficulty, as is undoubtedly
the case, we have been amply repaid for
the cost of the improvements, for war
with Chill, small and weak though she
be, would have entailed an expense to
this nation of q great many millions of
dollars, to say nothing of the loss of life
that would have attended it. But while
our navy is far more efficient than it was
a few years ago, it is not yet efficient
enough. We have not a single battle
ship of pattern that would permit a
voyage around Cape Horn without seri-
GUS danger of destruction by the wind
and waves. Vessels of the Monitor class
like the Miantonomah are not fit for sea
service. For coast defence they may be
admirable, but that is about the limit of
their usefulness. We must have at least
a few battle ships of the modern type
provided with guns of the most approved
pattern before our navy will be as eff
cient either for attack or defence as it
should be. We do not want to attempt
to rival the great navies of England or
France, but we do want and ought to
have navy sufficient at least for our
own defence.
Another thing of scarcely less impor-
lance, perhaps of even more Importance,
which the CHILEAN business should inn
press upon us is the need of better coast
defences. Our weakness in this respect
has been patent to everybody for many
years. Yet as our correspondent of
yesterday pointed out, very little has been
done to remedy it. The condition of
Portland is. the condition of a greatmany,
indeed the majority, of our cities on the
Atlantic seaboard. Today there is alb
solutely nothing to prevent a vessel of war,
armored or unarmored, with modern
guns, running within easy Smelling dis
tancc of this city and bombarding us till
its ammunition was exhausted. In our
present condition we could not offer the
slightest effective resistance, and it
would probably require months to rem
edy even in small degree this state of
things. The attention of Congress has
again and again been called to this lack
of coast defences, but heretofore with
but little effect. Perhaps the CHILEAN
affair has brought the danger of war
near enough to convince that body that
it is not safe to allow this condition of
things along our seacost to continue
longer without some effort to remedy it.
At least let us hope so.

OUR DEFENcELEss SEA COAST.


The prospect of war with Chill has
pretty nearly vanished with the confrma-
ton of the dispatch from Santiago an
nouncing that Chill had come down from
her high horse and is ready to make sub
stantial compliance with our demands.
While Chili's answer may not be salts
factory in one respect, it indicates dis
position to settle the difficulty amicably
and if this disposition continues no doubt
a way will be found to arrive at an adj
justment without letting loose the dogs
of war. We may therefore reasonably
assume that the danger of war is past.
There are some lessons taught by this
Chilian affair that should not pass I'M
needed. And perhaps the first and most
obvious one is the necessity of a great
commercial nation like ours having a
navy big enough and efficient enough to
command respect. 1t is very doubtful if
the CHILEAN affair would have been settled
SO easily had our navy been in the con
dition that it was only few years ago
devoid of modern ships of war and
modern armament. Preparation for war
is powerful persuader of peace, and will
continue to be until the advent of the
millennium which is still probably a
good many years away. If the fact that
our navy is now in a comparatively effec-
tive condition has been instrumental in
