SEA POWER.

This war is very clearly indicating
the Importance of a strong navy and
one is made to shudder when he
contemplates the condition the
United States would have occupied a
few years ago if the occasion for a
conflict with a foreign nation had
arisen-at time when our navy was
a very weak affair, before Secretary
Whitney aroused the Government to
active steps towards building it up.
We had then, as we have now, pro-
ductive lands, extensive population,
wonderful resources responsive to
the needs of the country, and men of
bravery and patriotism, ready to go
or come at the Nations call, but the
lack of power on the sea would have
been a serious drawback to either
defensive or offensive operations.
The Importance of fighting ships
in modern warfare is brought to
mind by the following incident, which
is used as an object lesson by the
Philadelphia Press:
This country of 5000, 900, with
unexampled resources, was about to
occupy Cuba last week in overwhelm-
ing force. Suddenly four Spanish
armored cruisers appear. They are
not as strong as our united feet, but
they are swifter and their plans no
one knows. Instantly all plans of
an invasion have to be postponed
until these cruisers are dealt with.
The troops on shore mark time.
Our ships at sea are gathered from
hither to thither. All waits on the
next sea fight. Its, fate settles the
war"
Continuing, the Press says: .Sea
power counts and In the worlds wide
work 1t is the first and last thing
which does count. The United States
must have o navy second only to

UNIVERSAL WAR.

Many people are of the opinion
that other nations will become in
volved before the war between the
United States and Spain is over and
the terms of peace agreed upon.
Indeed, by some it is thought that a
universal war is close at hand and
will grow out of the present difficulty
with Spain. One of the European
diplomats at Washington, in an in
terview with a New York Sun repre-
sentative, made some observations
along this line which are interesting
to say the least. Among other
things, he says the general war,
which has long been expected, will
come by an attempt to stop the
Acknowledgements war as soon as
the two fleets meet and America
will not cease the fight until the
resolutions of Congress providing for
the freedom of Cuba are carried
through. But, if the United States
should consent to a truce there will
be a disagreement about tine terms of
peace.
This diplomat reaches the follow
ing conclusion: "You may rely upon
what l say that universal war will
come in this way: Austria, France
and Italy will for a while remain on
the fence, until England openly sides
with the United States, in which
instance Russia will join Austria and
Germany the United States. You
can rest assured that these plans are
now under consideration by the
cabinets, and that the United States
administration knows it as well as
England does; and that is one of the
reasons the Lafayette was set free,
and why you will hear nothing about
the French officials holding dis
patches at st. Pierre intended for
the government here while Spanish
ships were coaling there"

lack. Fourteen years ago Naval
Board of Experts recommended
eighteen battleships. The report
was laughed at. Does any one laugh
now? With even twelve battleships
we should have saved the cost of this
war, and for the direct cost of this
war sixty battleships could be blilt.
Which is cheaper? War or the
preparation which insures peace?"

A Washington correspondent
writes to the New York Sun: The
jawbone of a mule, ostensibly the
animal killed, according to Captain
General Blanco, by Admiral Samp-
sons guns in the bombardment of
Matanzas, was received in the mail
at the Navy Department this morn
ing. On tag attached to the bone
was the address: Admiral Sampson,
Navy Department, Washington, D.

was this message:
"While this weapon may be regard
ed by you as obsolete, we trust that
the victories won with it by your
illustrious ancestor may inspire you
to still greater victories with the adj
ditional equipment you possess. .
The jawbone is highly polished,
and the teeth are secured by gold
nails driven into the bone and ivory.
