CAROLINE ISLANDS.
POSSESSIONS OF SPAIN WHERE PER-
PETUAL SUMMER REIGNS.

They Stretch About ., 900 Miles From East
to West - Thermometer Rarely Goes
Above 90 Degrees-The Natives Arc SEMI
savases and wnrlike.
If the United States should obtain
control OF the Philippine Islands, 1t
would then be only a question of a
short while until the Caroline Islands
pass into American rule. The Caroline
Islands over which Spain now holds
sovereignty, stretch about 1000 miles
from east to west. and though near to
the equator. and in 4 climate of per
petual summer, the thermometer
ranges from "A degrees to 81 degrees
through the year. Within the group
there are five islands, Of basaltic form
alton, some Of them having high noun
tains from 1000 to 1900 feet high.
These are Kusaie, Ponape, Ruk Yap,
and Pelew. Kusaic and Ponape have
been called the Gems of the Pacific"
For over thirty years the micronesian
mission has flourished in the Islands,
island after island having been visited
by Christian teachers, and no one ever
visiting there. ever saw any sign or
ever had the remotest thought that any
European nation claimed sovereignty
there There were no Spaniards on
the islands, no Spanish vessels in the
waters. The natives were absolutely
Independent and their chiefs were not
even asked to recognize any authority
- IL. l. fra
Islanders are deliberately tatOoed, but
their clothing is of the slightest. The
characteristics vary somewhat on the
various islands but most Of the people
are savage and warlike. While not
noted for cannibalism, it is said that on
some OF the islands there is not an
adult who has not tasted human flesh.
In 1883 more than thirty different is
lands were occupied by native Chris
tan teachers trained under American
missionaries; the people were Chris
tianized; liquor and tobacco were ban
ished from the islands and "the Ten
Commandments became a code of
laws. There were established forty
seven churches, with 4,5G0 members
and fifteen native pastors. Such was
the condition of the islands in 1883 un-
til question OF territorial rights was
disputed by the European powers be-
cause Of Spain's enforcement of her
claim of sovereignty. The matter in
dispute was referred to the pope for ar
bitration who in his discussion gave
the Marshall Islands to Germany, the
Caroline Islands to Spain, and the Gill
bert Group to England. After that
Spanish governor, six Roman Catholic
priests and fifty Spanish soldiers were
sent to Ponape. Since then no Ameri-
can missionary has been allowed to
remain at Ponape. The Micronesian
missionary boat has been forbidden to
touch at any point of the islands ex-
cept at the Spanish harbor. Recently,
after years Of delay, the Spanish gov
ernment has paid $17, 500 for the Amer
ican mission property destroyed
Spanish vessels seldom appear in the
Ruk archipelago or at Kusaie and they
have no difficulty on these islands

Russia is busy at the west as well
as at the east. She is improving her
harbor at Vladivostock and taking pos
session of Port Arthur and Talien- Wan
and completing her great railroad
thither. At the same time she is push
ing toward the Atlantic ocean, too, and
preparing to establish a great ice-free
port thereon. We have hitherto told of
the renaissance of Archangel and the
opening of q railroad connecting that
ancient city directly with Moscow and
all Russia. That is an important step.
But it is not enough. For Archangel
Is near the inner end of the White sea,
and that sea opens into the Arctic
ocean. What is wanted is a port on
the Atlantic, or at least on
the Arctic, near the Atlantic, and
that is exactly what Russia
is now endeavoring to secure.
The first step is the opening, or reopen
ing, Of the old port of Kola. That is
on the Murmanian coast, well up to-
ward the Norwegian frontier. At that
point the Arctic ocean is practically
always navigable, instead Of being for
months choked up with fee, as is the
White sea at Archangel. And it is 500
miles nearer the Atlantic than is Arch
angel. 1t has the disadvantage Of be-
ing much further away from Moscow
and st. Petersburg, and not connected
with them by river or railroad. But
the enterprise that runs a railroad
across Siberia can be trusted to build
one across Finland and Lapland. Large
appropriations have been made from
the imperial treasury for the improve
ment Of the port Of Kola, or rather
Of Ekaterina, little lower down on
the river. and that place will doubt.
less soon become a considerable center
of commerce.
