GREATER AMERICAN NAVY.
Secretary Long Says 1T VIII Grow
With Our Territory.

BINGHAM, Mass. Aug 14.-Secre-
tary Long pays splendid tribute to
the navy's personnel. Regarding the
congressional outlook he agrees with
Speaker Reeds nomina ton speech, be-
lieving prominent previous elections
are overshadowed by the opinion in
which the people hold the Mckinley
administration owing to it's success in
the war with Spain.
1--WE are preparing to begin reducing
expenses, now that the war Is over"
he said.
What do you really think should be
our naval strength in the future COM
pared with England, France, Russia
and other European powers?" was
asked.
There will be a natural growth of
our naval power commensurate with
territorial expansion" replied Mr..
Long. 1T is doubtful, however, if we
shall develop it as England does, be-
cause from our geographical position
there is not the same necessity"

why did not the department make

eide" replied Long. I'VE Immediately
recommended promotion, and the Of
flee of admiral will have to be espe-
cially created by act of congress.

LOSS OF EMPIRE.
Spain Beginning to Realize the Cost
of the War.

OF the War.
LONDON, Aug 15.-The Madrid cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail says: The
comments of the press on the protocol
are a veritable funeral hymn on the
destruction of the Spanish colonial en-
pire. Some days ago the desire for
peace made the people close their eyes
to the price, but now, upon reading the
protocol, they realize that the cost is
the loss of THAI empire which Spain
has conquered with so much glory, and
that Spain now falls to the second rank
among nations. The public mind is
stunned, and there is general mourn
ing.
Gen. Blanco telegraphs that Havana
is greatly agitated by the news of the
signing of the protocol, and that much
anxiety is manifested to learn the con-
ditions, which have not yet been pub
lished. Some easiness is felt regard
ing what the effect of the protocol
may have upon the Spanish volunteers
in Havana. Many newspapers express
great despair that the men who
brought disaster on Spain by lack Of
foresight, organization and ability,
should continue to govern the coun-
try,

OF the troops now depends entirely
upon the transports which are daily
expected to arrive at Santiago. At the
present time only about 5000 men Of
Gen. Skaters corps are at Santiago
the remainder having already sailed for
this country.
Gen. Skaters report to the war de-
partment concerning the departure of
the troops says:
Santiago de Cuba. Aug. 14.-All of cavalry
division, Kents division, Lawtons division,
except Seventh and First infantry and sick
and suspects Of these commands, have al
ready sailed, leaving Bates division, Eighth
Ohio infantry, batteries of light artillery, one
battery of heavy artillery, four troops of
Second cavalry and two companies of en-
gineers yet to go. If ships expected with
immunes get here as they ought today or
tomorrow. will get the most of the command
away within the next two OF three days.
All depends on the transports, and, as they
have not arrived. cannot c,ozely approx
mate time. -Shafter, Major General.

EFFECT UPON AMERICA.
War Cannot but BE u Benefit in the
Long Run.

LONDON, Aug. i5.-The Times this
morning comments editorialIy upon the
generous universal recognition of the
part which President Mckinley has
played throughout the war between
the United States and Spain, and says:
eff foreign observ srs might presume
to have an opinion upon his conduct,
it would probably be that President
Mckinley has kept his finger constant
~ upon the national pulse and has
known how to stimulate and direct ma
tionau thought without too markedly
outrunping hts movement
Everything has been done in the
open, every move has been discussed
all over the United States before the
government was irrevocably committed
one way or the other, and the result
of the cautious, tentative policy is
that where he stands at this moment
the president has the whole American
vote at his back.
I'VE do not know that there can he
any higher craftsmanship for a presi-
dent governing under the constitution
of the United States.
"It is noteworthy that while the
Spaniards, who are usually regarded as
chivalroUs, romatic and medieval, have
turned first to the financial aspect sit
uaticn, the Americans, who are usual
ly supposed to be intensely practical,
have, as yet, hardly given thought
to the financial or economic side Of
the question. What occupies the Amer
lean people at this moment, is not the
cost of the war, the value of their ac-
QUESTIONS, or the balance of the profit
and loss account, but the moral result
of the struggle and the nature of the
ideas which it stimulates
Whether Organism is dead or only
sleeping, whether the smaller issues Of
party warfare are superseded by large
and worthy conceptions of national
policy or only thrown for the time into
the background, there can be no doubt
that the war has had and will have
profound effect upon American ideas
ard aims. Not only has it renovated
the idea Of national unity impaired by
the great civil struggle, but 1t has sup
piled that sense of contact with exter-
nal forces which is probable one of the
most potent influences in favor of
ioeAlipIcllAiiiS lilS AclfOiAcI SPIN.
1.-The Antilles themselves introduce
a novel element into American life
and open up questions upon which
parties may differ greatly and woz tlhily.
This, in itself, is a gain, and one which
was more or less conscientiously
sought when the war was undertaken.
The perilous unrest spoken Of by the
New York Times was a real national
evil, which sprang directly, so far as
foreigners can judge, from the disap-
pesrance of clear, ineligible party is

has vanished and been replaced by new
anXieties or solicitudes, which may be-
come acute, but are very unlikely to
become morbid.
Beyond the Antilles lies more diff
cult questionable Philippines-and
that question does not end with the
Philippines themselves. These islands
may be taken just now as a symbol of
American awakening and entry of the
republic upon a new career, which,

OUT OF CUBA BY FRIDAY
SKATERS MEN WILL BE NOV
ED BY THAT TIME
No More Soldiers Are to BE Sent to
Gen. Merritt Unless He Asks for
Them, and a Part of the Troops
Now With Gen. Miles In Porto
Rico Are Likely. to Be Re-
called.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-All the
troops that were with Gen. Shafter in
the Santiago campaign will be out OF
Cuba by Friday Of this week. Gen.
Shafter will accompany them to Mon
tauk Point. There will remain at San
tiago five regiments Of immunes to DO
garrison duty. It is yet possible that
battery will be sent to Santiago to
take the place of the batteries which
are to be removed.
No more troops will be sent to Gen.
Merritt unless he asks for them. It Is
believed at the war department that
the 10000 men now there are sufficient
to garrison Manila and the ground
ent will occupy.
Gen. Miles has about $4,000 men in
Porto Rico. They will he sufficient for
the occupation of the island, and per-
haps more than will be needed after
the Spanish evacuate.
The remainder Of the troops will re-
main in the various camps to which
they have been assigned for the pres
emf, though something may be done
looking towards diminishing the num-
zber when it becomes apparent that
they are no longer needed. The gov
eminent will dispose Of the troops that
have been in use as fast as they can
be released and are no longer required
for service.
All vessels Of the navy that can be
spared from service in the West In
dies will be ordered to ports in the
states, where the men will be given
brief holidays. The battleshdps Of the
fleet will be put in dry dock as soon
as possible and undergo such repairs
as may be necessary. There Is scarce
ly vessel Of the navy that does not
need docking. It is expected that the
large dock in the New York yard will
be ready to receive ships in about two
weeks
The auxiliary vessels Of the navy
which will not be used for the perrna-
Dent navy, will be disposed of as soon
as they go out of commission, proba bly,
being sold at auction.

BEAR BATTING SALISBURY.
Russia's Course Is Apparently Re.
gardIess of Consequences.

q.
gardless of Consequence.
LONDON, Aug. 14.-Russia's course
in heaping humiliation upon humilia-
ton upon England, according to pop-
ular opinion here, Is regardless Of
consequences. It is not true, however
that Russia is deliberately melting
Great Britain to war. It is believed at
ST. Petersburg, and throughout Eu-
rope, for that matter, that nothing
which may happen in China will force
Lord Salisbury to draw the sword
The chief reason for this belief is the
we'll known fact of the queens deter
mfnation never, under any circum-
stances, to sign another declaration Of
war.
The real question Is how far it Is
safe for England's rivals to trust to
this assumption. There is point be-
yond which the queen herself would
be powerless. There have been ind
cations in the past few days that this
point is almost within sight. Public
sentiment throughout England is very
deeply stirred. Lord Salisbury's critics
Englishmen. His own party almost
unanimously condemns him. There is
not newspaper of any consequence
in Great Britain which has not, during
the present week, attacked and criti-
cised the Eastern policy Of the gov
errnnent.
Public opinion in England Is undem-
onstrative until 1t can bear no more:
then 1t becomes insistent and coercive
The limits of it's passive submission to
repeated humiliation are we'll nigh
reached, according to all indications.
1t is already in open rebellion to Lord
Salisbury and will even override the
wishes of the queen herself If 1t Is only
convinced that national honor and ma
tional interests are both at stake.
This condition of the public mind
will probably force the government be-
fore long to do one of two things
either forcibly to intervene alone or in
conjunction with the United States to
keep open markets in China, or accept
the dismemberment of the Chinese en-
pire, toward which events are obvious
ly Fastening, and to seize whatever is
possible for the British share. There
France and Germany hope that Lord
Salisbury will resort to the latter pol.
icy. 1t is almost certain that those
powers are so far agred that they ex-
pect to restrict the British share in
such division of the prize to very
narrow limits.
