Roseberv and Ronoador.

Lord Rosebery' s purpose In seeking TO
establish a British force at Bluehelds is
so thinly yelled that our astute republic
can contemporaries will have no di6iculty
in discovery it at once. Indeed, some of
them have already "tumbled to the
racket to use a cant expression which
seems TO fit tho situation; and they are
prepared to meet racket with racket
to fight the devil with fire, as it We're.
As matter of fact, there is no conclu-
sive evidence that the British have occu-
pied the Mosquito coast; and if they
have, il is quite sure that Lord Rose
berry ministry had nothing in the world
TO Go with it. Nevertheless, it is in
accordance with republican precedent and
current custom to accept as conclusive
the widest statements Of impending dis
aster or danger, and to blame everything
upon the incumbent administration, with
out regard to the laws Of cause and effect;
hence the accepted version Of the situa-
tion at BlueEelds is that Lord Rosebery,
by bold move, has sought to establish a
British force there in contravention Of
our national policy and of numerous treaty
rights.
Bosebery's purpose, as our contempora-
ries see it, is to gain commend Of the
Nicaragua canal. And, they are able to
point out, he has happily chosen his coign
Of vantage Blufelds is the first port of
Importance north of Greytown, at the en-
trance to the canal In direct line
it is less than 100 miles from
Bluefelds to Greytown, Operating
from Bluefelds a British feet could be
sent to the mouth of the canal in about
four hours, where it could perform its
mission and get away before an
American feet could run around Roncador
and stand in again towards the coast.
There is reason to believe that the ex-
istence of Roncador, Quito Sueno, Pearl,
Ship and Little Mangle Gays had a good
deal to do with Lord Rosebery's selecting
Bluetields as his base of operations
These several Gays, and the hundreds Of
other reefs and shoals that abound in the
contiguous waters, form natural barrier
to an American naval feet on itss way to
Nicaragua, as the lamented Kear-
sarge has demonstrated. Her melan-
choly fate has made it clear
that they cannot be run over, or
sailed through; hence the only way to
reach Nicaragua is to go around. En-
seonsed behind these doughty defenders
backed up by the currents and counter
currents that the Kearsarge people dis
covered, Rosebery's feet would be able TO
work its own sweet will. The existence
Of Roncador and the other reefs, there
fore as it will be seen, is inimical to the
interests of the United States navy and
of this government
In an emergency of this kind, what is
to be donel AT moment like this, " says
the Baltimore American, 1.-The presence
of the late James G. Blaine in the state
department would be godsend." The
American has fathomed all the depths of
diplomacy, statecraft and the Carrib-
bean archipelago through which Rosebery
and his craft may sail, and it las reached
the conclusion that one hour of Blaine
would cause Roncador to sink its ugly
| head, and the British to "strike their
! tents and steal away in short order"
