OUR COAST PATROL.
Due Diligence Exercised in Prevent
ing FilibustcrinS.

New YORK sun.
If Spain has had any hcpe of making an
Alabama case for damages out of the escape
of few unlawful expeditions from our shores
to Cuba it ought to be dispeled by Secretary
Cages report.
Only half dozen small vessels, he says
have successfully landed such expeditions al
though there were 1855 American vessels
'of description and locality available for
hlibustering purposes" and fewer than fifty
have had any share in such expeditions, al
though the rewards offered for success were
50 high and the distance to be run was so
small.
That these expeditions were so few is due
very largely to the vigor and vigilance of our
government. For out of sixty alleged ex-
petitions, counting both the rare successes
and the numerous failures. Spain has broken
up only four, while our revenue cutters have
captured seven vessels and lis men, broken
up two expeditions, and held thirteen sus-
pected vessels under watch. In the last
thirty months we have had eight revenue
cutters, with aggregate crews of 317 men,
cruising an aggregate Of 75,7GS miles, occupy
ing what would be 129 months for a single
vessel patrolng the coast primarily for the
execution of our neutrality laws and prac-
tieally in Spain's interests.
Secretary Gage puts the case In a out
she'll when he declares that. ''if the Spanish
patrol of 2,20O miles of Cuban coast had
frustrated one-ialf the number of expedl-
tlons which were frustrated by the United
States authorities along a coast line of c, ,74O
miles, not one man or one cartridge would
have been illictly landed in Cuba from the
United States" AGd yet Spain complains
that we have not done enough.
1t must be observed that Secretary Gage Is
reporting only on the work of the revenue
cutters, belonging to the Treasury depart
ment But the Navy department has been
cooperating all along with its war vessels
still larger and relatively cCStlier to main
| tain. At the present time, for example, the
cruisers Detroit and Montgomery and the
gunbcat Vesuvius are engaged in this patrol
work.
The heavy cost at which these vessels
have been maintained during the last two
and a half years Is obvious. The due
diligence which is all that international law
| requires of us has been exercised.
