Captain Mahan.

The orders to Captain Mahan to proceed
to this city and assume duty as member
of the naval strategic board will greatly
please most Americans, who have learned
to regard this scholarly officer as one of
the most advanced men Of his profession
AS a naval theorist he has probably no
present superior. AS student of the naval
history of the world he stands preeminent
acknowledged by all the authorities of the
great maritime nations. His various writ
ings have given him high place in the
esteem OF those who administer the affairs
of great fleets and thus his prestige en-
titles him to exceptional consideration by
his own government, from whose active
service he has retired. His suggestions
will doubtless be of great value and his
knowledge of foreign conditions ought to
aid in enabling the board of which he is
to form a member and the higher authori-
ties to act with confidence and good judg-
ment in disposing of the naval forces to
meet the emergencies as they arise.

Patriotic Nilif0nafres.

One of the most gratifying signs of the
times is the readiness of American men and
women of great wealth 10 come forward
with patriotic and generous offers of sub
stantial aid to the government. Mr.. John
Jacob Astor. early in the campaign, offered
TO raise regiment and equip it solely at
his own expense. in addition to leading II
into action There was also some mention
at the time Of Willingness on mis- part ,o
grant free transportation of all govern
ment troops over such lines as are under
his control This statement, however does
not seem to have been substantiated. The
Astor railroad holdings are Eot conspicuous
for their ability TO control. They are
mainly investments. But there is no ouss.
tion Of the sincerity and value of Mr..
Astor's military offer. Mr.. John wana.
maker made a similar proposition. Mr
John Scbermerhorn. one of New York;
wealthiest citizens. gave his steam Yacht
the Free Lance, to the government free of
all charge Miss Helen Gould, having NO
yacht and unable to apply herself to such
military enterprises as Mr.. Astor prefers

Portugal Acts at Last.

1t is somewhat reassuring to find that
Portugal has finally issued her decree of
neutrality, thus avoiding the unpleasant
necessity of some sort of action on the part
OF this country. 1t is significant, however,
that the news of the actual issue of the
decree did not reach this country until
after the government had learned, from
it's own sources of information, that the
Spanish fleet had sailed from St. Vincent,
where it has been sheltered by the friendly
flag Of Spain's next-door neighber. There
has been more than a suspicion all along
that Portugal would not act until Spain
was ready for her to do SO, and now it
seems fairly well established that there
was perfect understanding between the
two governments. The decree, however,
binds Portugal for the entire period of the
war and thus Spain is deprived of the shell
ter of friendly port in fine strategic posi-
ton,
