THE BoURGoGNE DISASTER

The Atlantic ocean is pretty broad, and
people who have never made the passage
find it difficult to understand how, with
reasonable diligence upon the part OF
navgators, two ships can come together
on the broad track, as did the Bourgogne
and the Cromartyshire, on Saturday, en-
failing the loss of 633 human beings. 1t is
because the chief factor in. the problem OF
crossing the Grand Banks Is not taken
into the account. This is the fog that
otter hangs over the locality, so heavy
at times as to turn day into night, pre-
vent the man on the bridge from seeing a
ships length ahead, and to. so obscure the
lights of approaching vessels that they
are sometimes not seen until too late to
change the course of either. From
twelve to thrty-six hours. are consumed
by the fast liners in penetrating this cloud
bank, and the fog horn Is supposed to
be constantly sounded to give warning to
passing ships.
That all of the safeguards should have
failed upon this occasion is not surpris-
ing. The same thing has happened be-
fore. 1t will continue to happen periodi-
cally until science shall supply the miss
ing link-a light sufficient to penetrate a
Newfoundland fog to a far greater dis
lance than those now in use are capable
of doing, or a more effective device for
sounding the approach toward danger
than that of the fog whistle.

ADVICE TO THE SPANIARD

The effect of the relatively greater de-
structiveness of modern engines of war,
which it has been thought would influ-
ence nations to more pacific policies, has
been minimized by the apparent in
ability Of the Spaniards to secure the
greatest results from them. The de-
structiveness has been upon one side only.
The damage inflicted has been confined to
the Spaniards. The modern guns and
the smokeless powder of the enemy's
fleets have sunk no American vessels,
have killed but one man and wounded
but half a score, in two of the most hoty
contested naval engagements In history.
Dewey's squadron emerged from the bat
tie of Manila in no essential particular
crippled or incapacitated for further
immediate service, had there been more
Spanish sea power to encounter. Samp-
sons vessels, came out of the running
fight along the southern coast of Cuba
in practically the faultless trim in which
they had entered upon 1t. Shore de-
lenses and coast Notifications crumble
under the hammering of the great guns
of the battleships, and acres Of earth
works yield to the dreadful impact Of

AMERICAN SHIP BUILDING

Sampson and Schley and Dewey have
given to the ship-builders and gun
makers of this country vast amount Of
free advertising this summer, and it has
all occupied preferred position, top
of column, next to reading matter"
The superiority of American armor-
plating and artillery has been impressed
upon the naval sharps of all the European
nations in, such a way as not to be for
gotten. Russia has already placed an
order in the United States for two battle
ships, and it is not unlikely that Ger
many will soon follow the example of her
neighbor The kaiser isn't fond of us
but he will not permit little thing like
that to stand in the way of making the
sea power of the empire invincible, like
our own. We may not expect to build
any battleships for John Bull, but we will
cheerfully loan to him our pattern, ant
wish him much power in exploiting oul
methods of ship building and armoring.

expectation Of phosphate guano, in which
the island abounds. The president OF
this company, in explaining It's status
declares that the abandonment OF the
island is but temporary, occasioned wholly
nv the war, and that at its conclusion
operations will be resumed. In the mean
time. the United States is to be held re-
snonsible for any invasion that may be
permitted by the Haytiens or others.
Federal authority was extended to Ma
vassa in 1857, by virtue of an act Of con-
gress of the year previous, providing that
whenever any citizen Of the country shall
discover a guano deposit on any island
rock or key, not belonging to or occupied
by any other government, and shall take
peaceable possession of the same and &C.
cupy it, the territory shall be considered
as appertaining to. the United States

divide and shatter the heretofore solid
and cohesive trunk. The same reasons
advanced for the taking of Hawaii VIII
have equal potency in deciding US to
retain the Philippines and the Ladrones
We must have Hawaii, 1t has been argued,
or give up the conquered territory In the
far east. We. must hold onto the Phil
ippnes in order to secure the. greatest
benefits from our possession Of Havana.
The entire imperialist scheme hangs upon
the Hawaiian thread, and accounts for
the unyielding determination of the ad-
ministration to commit the country to the
doctrine of territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
while 1t is in the mood, lest the sober Sec
ond thought should shatter the whole
imperial fabric.
Senator Hoar is among the few who ia
vor limiting our land-grabbing to Ha-
wall, who processes to believe we may
do that. But his attitude is open to the
suspicion that 1t cloaks an Interior pur-
pose, which he dare not now avow, lest
the reserve virtue of his more or less
Puritan constituency shall revolt at the
larger program Of land lust and imperial
domination. 1t is going to take the peo-
pie of New England, and of all the coun-
try for that matter, long time to recon-
cile the honest, noble, pure and humane
purposes with which the war was en-
tered upon, with the newborn doctrine of
Selling everything in sight and appropri-
ating. it to our own uses in perpetuity, in
contempt of the right of others to life,
liberty and the; pursuit of happiness"
The solemn warnings of the father of his
may not be forgotten in day.
The perils which menace the new de-
parture cannot be dissipated in an instant.
The people need time to consider the
chances they take, the dangers they
invite. This opportunity should be at
forded them before another step is taken.
The country should not be plunged into
this reckless enterprise wholly blind
folded.
With the annihiliation Of Cervera's
fleet passed all danger from SPANS sea
power. There is, not now- if. ever there
was, a war necessity for the annexation
Of Hawaii, and in the entire absence OF
IN. obvious exigency for hasty' action, 1t
was the duty of congress to stay further
proceedings. 1t was the duty Of con-
zress to submit the matter tol the judg-
ment of the American people. With their
verdic. all, loyalists would be content.

of the Vesuvius. But the missiles from
the modern Krupp guns, with which the
enemys vessels are provided, seem only
to fret the ocean pillows, falling short
or passing beyond the targets at which
they are aimed.
The jury will make up their verdict
without leaving their seats. The Spaniard
pirate though he be by instinct and
profession. is, yet not sailor. He can't
shoot. His gunnery is execrable. He
can't hit what he aims at. He throws
like a woman. He is brave to the limit
of desperation, but impotent in his fury
He is courageous. but ineffective. He is
daring, but harmless. He should aban-
don. the serious activities of a, war with
brave, skilled and imperturbabie foe,

tice.

HAWAII ANNEXED

BY, a vote of AZ to q the senate yester-
day adopted the resolution providing for
the annexation of the Hawaiian islands.
They are not only to, become an. integra
part of the American Union, but through
the fundamentally Of law which the
first Jurors of the land regard as uncon-
stitutional. That fact, will not affect
their entrance nor yet the duration of
their stay. 1t is to be- regretted more
because Of the dangerous precedent which
1t establishes.
In the course Of his speech in opposi-
ton on Tuesday Senator White expressed
his conviction that the desire to. hold all
countries taken as an incident Of war
is but momentary inclination that will
pass away when hostilities cease.
If there is ground for belief that the
American people, after the hysteria into
which they have been thrown by the ex-
elements of the period, will give place to
calmer thought and more deliberate cir
cumspection, then every dictate of rea-
son and common sense justif1es delay in
deciding question OF, such moment.
And the fact should not be lost sight of
that the most cogent reason advanced for
the extension Of federal authority over
the Sandwich islands-the military neces-
sity Of a base in mid ocean-has been
almost entirely removed by the events
Of the past few days. The Spanish navy
is at the bottom of the sea. The rem
nant that remains, only because it has
prudently kept out of the zone of fire of
our battleships, no more menaces the one
coast than. the other, no, more. threatens
American shipping in the Pacific than in
the Atlantic. Even the war strategy
board. which has been affrighted for a
month past, with distorted visions Of
phantom ships, would, perhaps no longer
hesitate to dispatch reinforcements to
