 Causes superAciaIly very diverse. but essentially the same in that they arose from and still depend upon a lack ef lo-
 cal political capacity, have brought che
 Mediterranean and the Caribbean, in eur own time, to similar conditioaa, re. 1 garded as quantities of interest in She sphere of international relations What ever the intrinsic value of the two bod. ies of water, in themselves oF in their surroundings, whatever their present contributions to the prosperity or to the culture of mankind, their conspicuous characteristics now are their political and military importance, in she broad est sense, as concerning net only the countries that border them, but the
 world at large Both arc land girt seas; both arc links in chsIa of cOmmunica. tiou between an east and q west. Ia both tho chain is broken by an isthmua Both arc of contracted extent when compared with great oceans, and iu consequence of these common features both present in an intensified form the advantages and the limitations, politi. cal and military, which condition the influence of sea power.
 This conclusion Is notably true of the Mediterranean, as is shown by its his. tory. It is even more foreibly true of the Caribbean, partly because tho con tour of it's shores does not. ss iu the Mediterranean peniusulas, thrust shs power of the land so far and so sustain edly into tho sea; partly because, from historical anteeedeats already alluded to. in the character of the first colo nists and from the shortness of the time the ground has been in civilized occupation there does not exist Ia the Caribbean or in the gulf oS Mexico apart from the United States-Rny laaa power at all comparable to these ggeas continental states of Europe who@ strength lies in their armies far moEa than in taelr nayios.
 So far as national incliHatiens, Rs dis. tinct from the cautious actions of states. man, can Do discerned. in the MeditsT. ranean at present tho sea powers Great Britain, Trance and Italy, are opposed to the land powers, Germany, Austria and Russia, and the latter dominate acc ton. IL cannot be so In any neaE futHre in the Caribbean. The Caribbean is pre-, etninently the domain of sea power. Captain A. T. MahaR, .. g. G., ia HaFpeT's Magazine.
