DOES IT MEAN BUSINESS

The nllegedsudden activity in the Brooklyn
navy yard in getting the big vessels of
Admiral Bunoe's North Atlantic squadron
into fighting trim, coupled with the report
that they are destined for Cuban waters
may be due to the intention of the govern
ment TO afford better prote ction to
American citizens on the island. 1t may
is buying all the warships upon which she
can lay her hands and is in an ugly mood
respecting the United States. And again,
IL may be nothing more than the necessary
preparations for the long cruise which
Secretary Herbert has mapped out for the
squadron. You pay your money and take
your choice. There can be NO doubt.
however, that the two alternatives first
suggested would strike a popular chord.
During all the time that American citizens
have been murdered and outraged and
American property destroyed in Cuba by
the Spaniards, no American war vessel
has shown her nose in the harbor of
Hayara, or near the coast of Cuba We
have contented ourselves with remon-
strances and protests at Madrid, How
long would it have been before british
fleet had emphasized a demand for
satisfaction and reparation II any subject
of the queen bad been butchered or manned
like Delgado? Whether the stir at the
Brooklyn navy yard has any such purpose
or not there can be no doubt that it is high
time for some demonstration to iDfuse
in Weyler and his co-butcbcrs u wholesome
regard for the. rights of the persons and
property of American citizens

JAPAN's TIDAL WAVE.

The latest news from the Island OF
Yesso. which has recently been submerged
by tidal wave, is so terrible as to almost
daze ones faculties of comprehension.
Thirty thousand people are reported to
have lost their lives In that awful
catac,ysm. II is by long odds the most
disastrous visitation resulting from voi-
been recorded within the present century.
The nearest approach to it so far as the
loss of life is concerned, were the earth
quake and tidal wave in the Straits OF
Sunda, about ten or twelve years ago,
where between $4,000 and 10000 per-
sons were engulfed. whole islands dis.
appeared beneath the waters, and new
formations were cast up in their stead.
Human science, that brings the stars to
earth, stands helpless and dmnfounded
gigantic submarine commissions 1t can
determine the direction and duration OF
seismic shocks, but further than that 1t
can not g5 1t fails to tell the causes of
earthquakes in different parts of the
world. After the Charleston earthquake
OF 1885, scientists from all parts of the
country went to South Carolina, and
after long and patient investigation, each
arrived at a different conclusion as to the
cause OF the disturbance. And so with
other earthquakes. With tidal waves 1t Is
still more helpless. or these 1t Is neither
able TO give warning-as can be done 10
some localities, near vesuvius. for in
stance, in the event or earthquakes, nor de-
ternine the whence and the whittier. Here
nature battles all human skill and ingenuity,
and by the fearful exhibition of It's latent
power. and by unchaintng its hidden forces,
seems to mock the puny efforts of man to
wrest her secrets from her and rear safe
guards against her destructive moods.
Perhaps science may some time solve
the mystery OF all these phenomena, but
it is doubtful IL mems most searching
efforts will ever be more than blind
guessers.
