IPPiRENTLT EASY TO LAND moor
1t is said by what appears to be com
pctent authority that there never has
been time since the declaration Of
war with Spain, that the United States
could not have landed on Cuban soil
all the troops she wanted to without a
shot being fred at them by the Span
iards. The same authority says that
on the coast in the district where these
troops could have been landed, there
is ample provisions for man and horse
to subsist an army OF $4,000 for an in
definite time, and that from this same
district Generals Gomez and Garcia
have drawn all their subsistence for
their armies for more than two years,
and that during that period not q
single Spanish soldier has ever been
in the district.
When we reflect upon the fact that
no appeal has ever been made by Gen
eral Gomez for subsistence, but only
for arms and ammunition, and that
the suffering and destitution we have
heard so much about is confined to the
reeoncentrados penned mp by Weyler's
orders within the Spanish lines, this
statement is entitled to the greatest
consideration

THE NAVAL BILL
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Senate
Committee on Naval Affairs today dis
cussed Informally the Naval Appropriation
bill and decided to recommend an amend
ment striking out the provision for one Of
the three battleships and substituting for
It three harbor defense vessels II the Sec
rotary Of the Navy should concur in the
wisdom Of this course. The opinion was
generally expressed that three light ves-
sells could be built at no greater expense
than one battleship and that they could
be built in time foe use, in case OF. war with
Spain, while battleship could not be
constructed quickly enough. The commit.
tee decided to let the House provision con-
corning the docks stand without change.

WASHINGTON, April a. Secretary
Long pushed the naval preparations ahead
today as rapidly as possible.
Admiral Walker arrived in Washington
today and reported in person to Secretary
Long. The admiral has been at the head
of the commission investigating the route
of the proposed Nicaraguan Canal His
return caused comments as to his possible
choice for taking supreme command OF
all naval forces on the Atlantic.
While he Is on the retired list, he Is not
less subject to duty in case Of need, and
there Is reason to believe that he regards
1t as a privilege to renew active service
The proposed assignment has not been
given any consideration by Seer etary Long
and II this matter should be taken ur
there are naval officers in the active list
notably Admiral Bunce. who would enter
into the question. Admiral Walker looked
bronzed and rugged. He would not discuss
what the commission had accomplished
nor refer to his future plans in connection
with the navy.
Senator Foraker Of the Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Relations was at the Navy
Department for the purpose, 1t Is under
stood, of furthering the investigation that
the committee in making into the cause
of the disaster to the Maine.
The investigation Is to be very sweep.
ing and is to go considerably beyond the
inquiry of the Naval Court. That court
was restricted to some means by having
to take the testimony Of those willing to
appear, and also was hampered by other

bee has already appeared before the com.
mittee and has given his testimony in de.
tail.
To show the minuteness Of the Senate
Inquiry, the fact may be cited that the
Senate today took steps to ascertain
whether the electric lights throughout
Havana were extinguished simultaneously
with the explosion. The Senate learned
that the extinguishment Of the lights actu.
ally occurred. What bearing this had
upon the cause Of the explosion is not ap.
parent. 1t may be that the terrific siiocl
caused an electric disturbance. disabling
the electric plant in Havana, or that some
Internal deductions may be made as to the

marine mine.
