In the years of anticipation concerning

the Atlantic and the Pacific there has oc-
caslonally been uneasiness in American
minds lest II this canal were actually
built under American auspices the lack
Of an outport in proper relation to It's At
lantie mouth would prove an embarrass-
ment in its control Stretching around
the proposed terminus Of the canal on the
eastern side is a range Of islands Of vary
ing sizes, affording convenient resting
points for the navies Of various powers.
England, with Jamaica and scores Of
more northerly holdings, thus has decid-
edly valuable base Of operations. France
has half a dozen smaller resting places
sufficiently close to be of service in any
demonstrations that might be deemed
wise or necessary for international or
commercial purposes. spain's own insu-
lar possessions have never been seriously
regarded, because OF the weakness of her
navy and the general deeadence Of her
