ABGLO-SAxOYS GETTING ON.

After the tempest and the earthquake and the
FIRE a STILL small voice. And It Is an English
Speaking voice There has been Of late
mighty pother over conflicting claims In China
Russia and Germany and France were having
their own way, and Great Britain was being
crowded to the wall So we were told 30 the
foes Of Great Britain exultngly announced. SO
many Britons bitterly complained. And the
British Government was oil but silent Really
II seemed as though the Anglo-Saxon doom was
sealed In the Far East.
Yet now that the tumult and the shouting
subside n bit another voice is heard. Some
one, knowing his business, has been at work,
not with brass band accompaniment For
scarcely a fortnight has the British flag been
flying over the Businesses Of Wei-Hai-Wei. Now
It is run up over the coveted heights Of Kow-
Long, and the announcement Is made that Great
Britain has LEASED" two hundred miles Of the
mainland fronting upon Hong Kong. That
means that all menace to the latter through
hostile occupation Of that shore is banshed;
that Great Britain will have mainland Gibral-
tar on the South Sea as well as on the Yellow
Sea: that Canton Is to be more and more under
British control, and that all the traffic Of the
great West River must pass beneath the shadow
OF the Meteor Flag At the same time the
province of Shan-Se, on the Yellow River, one
Of the richest in the empire, becomes substan-
TALLY British possession, and all the world
is warned to keep hands OF the valley of the
Yang Use. The British flag Is supreme on each
Of the three great rivers. II that Is not a
Roland for the divers Of Manchuria and Kiao-
Chau, one wonders what toreckon 1t.
The fact Is, Great Britain Is holding her own
M
prospectors may not always make as much noise
and show as more demonstrative peoples, but
they have the good old Anglo-Saxon habit Of
getting there, all the same" The British red
spreads steadily on the map OF the world, and
wherever II spreads It sticks. That Is true In
Africa from Cape to Delta That is true in
Asia, and in the islands Of the sea. And we
seem 10 have the same habit here. This has
not posed as a great military OF naval Nation.
Yet to-day 1t is teaching the whole world les
sons in the art OF war, and is impresslng upon
all the fact that here Is great word-power
that is henceforth most seriously to be reckoned
with II Is not a demonstratlve, spectacular
race, the Anglo-Saxon. But 1t has a fine fac
ulty for achievement, whether 1t be In the par
ttioning Of China or in ending the antquated
tyranny of Spain. 1t Is not takatlve vocif
erous race But we have notion that the
coming judgments CT the world will be ex-
pressed In words familiar TO the English tongue.

TIE MARIANNE ISLANDS.

The nroposition TO take possession OF the
Marianne Islands is one to be considered entire
ly upon the merits Of the case and according u
the interests Of this country. or our right 10
take them there can be no question. we are Ut
war with Spain, and are therefore entltieo-in-
deed II is incumbent upon us-to strike at Spnin
wherever we can. II we can do SO III inc
Marianne Islands we should. And If Mt the END
Of the war we see fit TO retain those ISLANDS, IN
lien Of the cash indemnity which VIII be our
due but which Spain will not be able to pay
the Justice of our course will be indisputapie'
The questions are, then, what IRE the MARIANNE
Islands, and Of what value would they DO 10 US
These islands are often called the Ladrones
That name was given to them by Magellan
when he discovered them, IN 1921, on account
Of the alleged thievish propenslties OF the ma
ttyes. AS the natives have long since been ex-
Terminated and as there Is another group OK
islands off the China coast, called the Ia
drones, the name Marianne seems the better. IL
was given to them in honor OK Queen Maria
Anna. IN 1867 when the Spanish took formal
possession and began to COLOMBO them. The ma
ttvea. whether or not observers Of the Eighth
Commandment were peaceful and well dis
posed toward the Spaniards but the latter, IN
accordance with their custom, forthwith mas
sacred them all, or all but measre remnant
There were fully $4,000 Of them at the time OF
the Spanish conquest Now there are perhaps
10000. mostly Immigrants from the Philippines
The islands are fifteen in number and lie IN
the Pacific Ocean, between Is and 81 degrees
north latitude and IA and 146 degrees east lon
gitude They are Of volcanic origin and COM
prise an area Of about All square miles OF high
ly fertile land The climate Is warm, though
not oppressvely so, the small size OF the Islands
exposing all parts Of them to the sea breezes,
and It is eminently healthful. The Islands are
better fitted than most others IN that part OF the
world for colonization by Americans and Euro
peans The largest of them, Guahan, has an
excellent harbor, easily fortified, and would
make an admirable coaling station 1t Hes
north of the Carolines and more directly In the
line Of traffic between this country and the Phil
ippines Hong Kong and japan. 1t is about
$500 miles from Honolulu, less than 800 from
Manila, 1900 from Yokohama and 1000 from
Hong Kong The value Of such place as
coalng station and port Of call, refuge and re-
pair is not easily TO be overrated-to any nation
that seeks a leading rank IN commercial affairs
In the Pacific Ocean.

WHERE THE FIGHT TOOK PLACE.


There has been lot of Uniformed talk about
the skirmish Of Saturday night at the mouth Of
Guantanamo Bay. Some have called 1t the
Battle of Guantanamo, others the Battle Of
Caimanera Neither term is correct If we
call Il q battle at ALT was merely q skirnish
it will not do TO attach the name either Of
Guantanamo or Caimanera to II. The former
town Is at least fifteen miles away from the
scene OF conflict, and ut the other side Of the
BAY The latter is FIVE miles away. and also at
the other side Of the bay. There has been no
landing nor attempt at landing at either. The
place occupied by our troops where they were
attacked by the Spanish, Is Fishermans Point,
the peninsula ut the eastern side Of the en-
trance 10 the outer harbor Of Guantanamo
This was doubtless chosen by the American
commander in preference to Leeward Point on
the western SIDE because 1t Is far higher
ground, and therefore more healthful and more
effectualy commanding the harbor.
The accurate map which we print elsewhere
I'm this paper shows this place and the entire
Bay of Guantanamo. 1t Will be seen that the
bay is like most in Cuba, deeply purse-shaped.
The entrance is little more than a mile wide.
but the bay extends inland a dozen miles or
more and is at one point more than five miles
wide 1t Ia divided into two parts by the PENN

THE NEW REVENUE EXPERIMENTS.

THE NEW REVENUE E4PERIMBNTS.
The bond provision of the war measure Just
,assed bids fair to DO its part Of the work eff
identity, whatever may come Of the other Feat
Tres. few bankers Of responsibility have al
eady proposed to take the entire amount OF
bonds about to be offered, or 80 many thereof
rs the public may not take, and, while there

whether the bonds would be readily purchased,
he talk about the propriety Of Issuing bonds,
payable principal and interest In gold only,
vent lust far enough to attract attention TO the
question Wisely Secretary Gage when 1t be-
ame necessary to raise means for the war,
With promptness declared IN favor Of coin
bonds. and showed that there was no reason
% fear that these would be distrusted or would
rove expensive to the Government The Ma
ION has 30 long seen bonds Of this form treated
~ the Government as In every respect the
equivalent OF gold bonds. and the strength of
public opinion demanding payment In gold has
been SO forcibly shown, that none have seri-
usly entertained a doubt whether the bonds
,roposed this year would be met according to
NE fullest requirements of honor and good
aith.
II lsa pity that, with absolutely nothing prac-
zeal to be gained by 1t, the question or good

WOOL, WAR AND PAPER MONEY.

An interesting and in the main instructive
circular by Justice. Bateman Co. regarding
tho effect OF war on the price OF wool refers
TO early experience during the Civil War. when
the first result was depression OF prices, after
ward followed by great advance. The circular
mentions July 1861 as the lowest point. but
quotations in fact averaged two cents lower
August ! than July !. advancing slightly in
August and September and then suddenly rose
AZ per cent from october / TO July /. 1862.
Prices were still on a gold basis. and this adj
vance was greater than that which occurred
after the Introduction OF the legal-tendcr act
until October /. 1862 Some OF the differences
drawn by tho circular are therefore liable to be
controversial and to njure rather than help the
cause OF sound money. Tie rise In wool was
largely due to the AnAraIty and high price Of cot
