Eastern men would be welcome at

A Short Sighted Act.
New York Commercial.

New Ork commercial
The sale of the steamship Havel by
the North German Lloyd steamship
company in q manner that permitted
her immediate transfer from the Ger
man to the Spanish flag, is one of the
deplorable incidents OF our present
war with Spain. The steamship COM
pauy's excuse that the steamer was
sold to an italian company will hardly
he accepted here as satisfactory. The
firm of Crests g. Co., the immediate
purchasers of the Havel, is we'll
known in Hamburg by it's Spanish
business connections, and it i'm
mediately transferred the Havel to the
Compania Transatlantica of Barcelona,
line which stands in precisely the
same relation to the Spanish govern
ment as the American line does to our
government. That is to say, their
ships are subject to the impressment
of the Spanish government. The Ha-
vel left Hamburg nearly week ago,
sailing under the German flag as far as
Cape Finisterre, and proceeding from
there to her destination under the
Spanish flag. 1t is probable that she
is now being transformed into Span
ish ship of war.
The North German Lloyd company
has for many years enjoyed . large
and profitable business with the Unit
ed States. Without q doubt, we are
her principal foreign customer. She
Is not supposed to be interested in, or
under any obligations to, Spain or
Spanish trade. Yet, in the face of
these facts, with no apparent excuse,
excepting 90 gain . few paltry dollars,
she supplies our enemy with q great,
high-speed steamship, which can be
Immediately transformed into an aux
Hilary cruiser, to be used against our
forces. How can this company expect
US to interpret its action, excepting rs
one of direct hostility to the people of
the United States?
Does the North German Lloyd COM
pany expect that the people of this
are going to overlook this ma
tional betrayal of it's best customer? 1t
ia in war times like these that nations
find out who are their friends. Does
this company expect the loyal Amer
leans, and particularly our large pop
ulation of loyal German-Americsns,
are going to permit this sale of the
Hsvel to pass without expressing their
emphatic disapprovsl? As this sale
was negotiated it may not permit of
any protest on the part of our govern.
ment, but if We are not very much
mistaken the American people will
show this steamship line, which
thrives on American trade, that if we
cannot depend upon its loyalty in
times OF war, it cannot depend upon
our patronage 10 times of peace.

The issue of the greenback
became q grim military necessity in
February, 1862, when the govern
ment had no money in the treasury and
could not borrow money fast enough to
make vigorous war upon the rebel
lion. Every intelligent man who
knows the history of the greenback
during the civil war knows tn at it
enormously swelled the legitimate
debt Of the country, through imitation
of prices. Senator Lindsay denounced
without qualification the proposition
of Senator Turpie for a rich nation of
1900 600 people to discredit itself
at the very outset OF . war by re-
forced loan, on demand, and putting
no money in the treasury to pay them
when demanded" II we should ever
become involved with the great powers
of Europe so extensively that we could
not go further on q gold basis, We
would be compelled. rs we we're in the
civil war, as . military necessity. to
issue greenbscks. But to issue them
today is q confession that neither
through taxation nor our borrowing
power are we able to wage war with q
comparatively weak ana absolutely
bankrupt power.
In February, 1872, when we reluc-
family resorted to the expedient of the
greeuback, we had utterly exhausted
every other resource. We had borrow
ed all the gold the banks had to lend:
our per cent bonds were unstable
except at q disastrous discount, and
Europe believed that we were on the
verge of bankruptcy. There is no
such grim military necessity for the
greeuback today, and to propose under
our present condition to issue it today
is absurd and utterly without honest
defense.
The only satisfactory explanation for
the advocacy OF the issue of paper cur
rency to pay the expense of the war,
by Bland in the house and by Senators
Turpie, Teller, Allen and Jones of Ar
kansas, is that the cheap silver men
e nearly all fiat paper men, by pre-
ference. They favor silver against
gold, because the former is more than
half fiat currency, but the ultimate end
they seek is irredeemable paper. With
outstanding, these demo-populist sem
atOrs seize upon the opportunity of war
to initiate this currency by the issue
of $3.50. 900, 600 Of additional legal tend
er', which Turpie says is to be
put out "for an indefinite
period"-that period being unlimited
except by the incident of redemption
or retirement" This means redemp-
tion or retirement the next day after
never, for the whole democratic party
today is opposed to the retirement of
any portion of the existing stock of fat
money. The practical result of the
addition of $3.50, 100000 of new legal
tenders would be to make a run on the
truasury which would strip the gov
eminent of its gold or force it to sus-
pend specie payments, and that is ex-

A Washington dispatch, May 25, says
Next week, with the end of the scs-

institution becomes practically closed,
and will so remain, in all probability,
until the war terminates. 1t has been
necessary once only in the history OF
the academy to shut it up, and that was
during the first year of the civil war,
when its headquarters were transferred
to Newport, and the junior classes COM
pleted their courses there. For the last
two months the academy has been
drawn on by the naval service for both
officers and cadets to be assigned to sea
duty, so that not one-half of either class
now remain at Annapolis. The first
class was premsturely graduated be-
fore the war started and ordered to
ships of the home station The second
class has now been ordered to Join the
ships and continue at sea, certainly
through the summer and no doubt I'M

ENGINES FOR ASIA.
Contract Awarded by the Russian
Government for Seventy-Seven
Locomotives for the Trans
Siberian and Chinese Eastern
D. D

ne NJ
Philadelphia Times
Amid all the preparations for war
the Baldwin locomotive works con-
tinues to play the peaceful occupation
Of turning out engines at the rate of
three a day. Yesterday one of the
largest contracts of the kind ever re-
ceived was awarded to the works by
the RussO-Chinese bank as agents for
the Russian government.
1t calls for the completion by August
l, next, of no less than sevepty-seven
first class engines for the Trans-Sibe-
rian and Chinese Eastern railroad
By the end of this month five will be
ready for shipment, q dozen will be
built in June, while in July sixty, which
is two-thirds of the possible output of
the works, will be built.
In regard to the price, the officials of
the company decline to talk, but it is
said that it will be $50, 900, added to
which will be the cost of shipments in
parts and the sending of men with
them to Asia to put them together
again. That would bring the total
cost for the seventy-seven engines up
to over $4,000, 900.
The engines will present the sam e
general appearance as frst-class en-
gines in this country, with one unusual
aod1tl0n|a railing AL around on line
with the cab, to keep the men from
falling off. 1t is said this is due to the
extreme rOuRhness of the roads. Me-
chanically they are to be built in con-
formity with the Russian ideas, which
differ only in detail from ours.
Owing to the extreme cold of the
region where they are to be run, par
ticular care will be given to the tenn
per'ng of the steel to be used in them.
While formal notification was only re-
ceived yesterday, the award has been
for weeks, and prepara-
tiOns made accordingly.
