THE SITUATION.

\ lurd light the tempest sheds
And thunders wild alarms:
But though some patriots lose thel
heads,
They'll still retain their arms.
The land is ready to defend
The rippling flag from all:
The social votaries to attend
A whizzing cannon ball.
The navy boys arc hard to beat
They're ready for the fray;
To make tie foundering Spanish fleet
Take water. any day.
The statesman. scholar. and the wit
With very wrath are red;
The standing army wants to sit
Upon the Spanish head.
''Hooray!" "Hooray!'-So many say,
With savage war-delight.
And. if it comes, we'll win the day
With many Il gallant knight.

TO INCREASE HER NAVY.
England VIII Bald -Four Battleships
and Twelve Torpedo Boat
Destroyers.

The eagerly expected statement of
the first lord of the admiralty, George
]. Goschen, on the supplementary
naval programme, was made the other
day in the house Of commons. He re-
viewed the original programme, which
was considered sufficient, when it was
framed, being based upon the two
power system, that the navy of Great
Britain must be equal to the combined
fleets of any two powers.
But, in consequence of the action of
Russia, on the same system, the gov
ernment was compelled TO present a
supplementary programme, parallel
ing the Russian increase of six battle
ships, which Russia proposed 10 begin
in 1898. Onlytwo battleships were taken
into account in the original British
programme, and the first lord of the
admiralty announced that he now
asked the house to grant four more
battleships.
Continuing, Mr.. Goschen said: The
Russian programme provides for four
cruisers. We propose to build four and
also 12 destroyers. 1t is estimated that
the cost Of the new programme will
be es,OO0OOO $4,000. .ooo). making the
entire expenditure for the new ships
6 15,oOO,OOo (S75.OOOO00). The battle
ships will be especially adapted for
the passage of the Suez canal"
Mr.. Goschen pointed out that her
majesty's government desired Europe
to note that the proposal was not
aggressive. but essential to main
tanning a principle laid down. Nor
was Russia's action a menace to Great
Britain. She had the right to build
such a fleet as she thought her posi-
tion required.
