THE BRITISH N JAMAICA.

Public attention is mainly directed
towards fighting news. But report
from the Island OF Jamaica to one of
the Canadian papers presents new
phase OF the question.
The British authorities are convert
ing the Island into a great military
and naval store house. Troops are
being rapidly concentrated there from
Halifax. Bermuda, and the neighbor-
ing islands. Two additional battle
ships and three cruisers have arrived.
1t is said by the English on the ISL
and. though il is not officially declar-
ed. that ii is done with view to the
contingencies of the war.
The naval engagement which has.
or will probably take place, may be
full Of the unexpected. A torpedo may
sink a hattleship. The American fleet,
in spite Of the skill of its men, and
their admirable gunnery practice. may
be crippled. if not DESTROYED by these
new and untried instruments of war
fare.
Should this unexpected event occur.
ii would prolong the war, and cause
infinite mischief TO the American peo-
pie while reconstructing their navy.
II is believed that should this unfor-
tunate event happen. Great Britain
viii at once interfere. in aid of the
United states, and declare TO Spain
that she too. engages in this war for
humanity, and will see to it. that Cuba
is made independent
1t is believed also. in Jamaica, that
if the United States prevail at once.
and destroy the Spanish fleet, that
the United States may be involved in
a long struggle with the Cuban insur-
gents, unless they are allowed to do
as they please, and establish one of
those Republics, which are supported
by bayonets, and not institutions. Ii
the United States must fight the
Cubans, and chase them into the
and through the swamps
and floods of the rainy season, the
British Indian and African troops, ae-
customed to tropical climates may
render the American forces great aid
The Americans have abundance of
men. and money. but it would be
unwise and foolish warfare 10 sacri-
flee the noble stuff that makes up the
rank and file of the army.
This is the worst possible view OF |
the case. AT the same time. the
British who have war on hand some
where. every day in the year, see that
the American Congress has had little |
in the preparation OF
navy or army, and is really caught
for war.
As the United States are not en-
gagged in war for conquest, there is
no reason, why Great Britain should |
not become her ally, for the cause of
The present war may be indeed q
walk over" but the men who are
for its proper conduct, will |
not act on any such theory. The dis
patch of the Monterey to Manila |
shows it.

that owing to the intimate relations
now existing between this country and

has not contemplated a proclamation

There is singular provision in the
Hawaiian treaty with Spain. 1t is as
follows:
If from a concurrence 81 unfor-
tunate circumstances. differences be-
tween the contracting parties shall
cause an interruption of the relations
Of friendship between them, and that
having exhausted the means Of an
amieable and eoneiliatory discussion

tanned, the arbitration of q third

IN order TO avoid by this means q diff
mite rupture
We believe that the ethics Of civiliz-
ed nations permits them TO break their
word, when it is announcement TO keep
IT, and there is no reason why We
should be squeamish about it, in this
case We are under two obligations,
one 10 the United States. and the
other 10 wicked Spain. Are we bound
to keep our obligations TO wicked
man or q wicked nation? Have We
the right 10 reward those cruel Span

racy was devoted TO a discussion of
amendments to the by laws and the cleo
ton Of officers.

should cast vote except in one chapter,
rel. and that members should not hold
two offices in one chapter, was adopted,

ply of her daughter, Miss Winnie Davis,
If the Daughters of the Confederacy

read. A motion prevailed that Mrs.
Davis be instructed that the Daughters
Of the National Chapter would donate
500 towards the monument fund, and
that the organization generally would
raise the balance required for such a
monument, but that they would sell the
biography if Mrs. Davis would accept
the proceeds for her individual benefit.

dency by reclamation. Mrs. Forney
