AFTER THE WAR.
Problems to BE Settled That May
Change the National Character.
rom Editorial in June Atlantic.

From Editorial in June Atlantic.
The problems that seem likely to follow
the war are graver than those that have led
I'D to it; and if it be too late to ask whether
we entered into it without sufficient DELHI
Grafton, it is not too soon to make sure of
every step that we now take. The insplr-
ing unanimity of the people in following
their leaders proves to be as earnest and
strong as 1t ever was under any form OF
government and this popular acquiescence
in war puts a new responsibility on those
leaders, and may put our institutions and
our people themselves to a new test. A
change in our national policy may change
our very character; and we are now playing
with the great forces that may shape the
future of the world-almost before we
know it,
Yesterday we were going about the pro-
sale tasks of peace, content with our own
problems of administration and finance, a
nation to ourselves" commercias," as our
enemies call us in derision. To-day we are
face to face with the sort of problems that
have grown up in the management of world
empires and the policies of other nations
are of intimate concern to us. Shall we still
be content with peaceful industry, or does
there yet Turk in us the adventurous spirit
of our Anglo Saxon forefathers? And have
we come to time when, no more great en-
terprises awaiting us at home, we shall be
tempted to seek them abroad?
The race from which we are sprung is q
race that for u thousand years has done the
adventurous and outdoor tasks of the world.
The English have been explorers, colonlzers,
conQuerorS of continents founders or states.
We ourselves, every generation since we
came to America, have had great practical
enterprises to engage us-the lighting with
Indians the clearing of forests, the war for
Independence, the CONSTRUCTION or gov
eminent, the extension of our territory, the
pushing backward of the frontier, the devel-
opment of an Ell Dorado (Which the Span
iards owned, but never found), the long
internal conflict about slavery, a great civil
war the building of railroads, and the COM
pact unificaton of a continental domain
These have been as great enterprises and
as exciting coming in rapiu succession, as
any race of men has ever had to engage it
love of adventure in the boou as our kins-
men over the sea have had in the extern
sion and the management of their world
empire The old outdoor spirit of the Anglo
Saxon has till lately found wider scope in
our own history than We are apt to re-
member.
But now a generation has come to man.
hood that has had no part in any great

and important tasks indeed, but they have
not been exciting-the reform of the civil

These are chiefly administrative. In a
sense they are not new nor positive tasks.
but the correction of past errors. In some
communities politics has fallen into the

A CANADIAN SCARE.
Spanish Ships Thought to BE in New
fOundIand Waters.

MONTREAL, May 19.-The Star to-day
says: A new feature of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, one in which it is asserted Senior
Polo y Bernabe and his associates are keen
ly interested, is the probable advance of the
CadiZ squadron into the North Atlantic. One
barrier alone has been standing between the
New England coast and the Cadiz fleet. 1t
is the lack of coal for the war ships when
they get to this side of the ocean. 1t has
been planned to secure coal supply. Span
ish ships now carrying it may be well on
their way across the Atlantic; indeed, ac-
cordng to information received from a
Star correspondent at North Sydney, c. B.,
it is possible that even at the present time
Spanish coal ships are in the waters about
Newfoundland The advices from Capo
Breton point out that Senior Polo has been
in communication with an agent or CORE
spondent of the Island of st. Pierre, the
coaling station of France in the North At
lantic ThcIe is constant exchange of
trade between Cape Breton and st. Pierre,
andfthe gossip of one port is more or less
current in the other For the past week
lookout operators on the Newfoundland
coast have reported the appearance of
strange vessels in those waters. In this
connection the Stars informant suggests
that these strange craft are gunboats con-
voying the Spanish coal fleet. A further eX-
tract from the Stars advices says: Mari
time men in North Sydney assert that the
North Atlantic route would be a most ia
vorable one for Spanish ships to take"

WASHINGTON, May 19.-There appears
to be a mistaken impression touching the
attitude our government has assumed in
the matter of the German merchant steam
er Polaria, now at Key West, awaiting per-
mission to cross the blockade lines into Ha-
vana harbor. Her case is not exceptional
dnasmuch the government gave its con-
sent only to the landing in Havana of GER
tain passengers on the steamer, who
boarded her at Hamburg, Germany, April
s, last, some time before the outbreak of
war between the United States and Spain
and long before the issue of the declaration
Of war. The Presidents proclamation of the
blockade contemplated the exemption from
interference of foreign vessels cleared be-
fore the date of proclamation, and, in con-
1ormity to the general principle the State
Department saw no reason why passengers
shipped under such conditions as those on
the Polaria, at Hamburg should be pre-
vented from continuing their Journey
AS for the British correspondent Mr.
Knight, who is awaiting permission to en-
ter Havana, passing blockade on
neutral ship, our government is under GER
tain obligations to him by reason of his eff
forts to arrange for an exchange of prison
ers. The efforts, by the way, have succeeded
and Colonel Cortejo and Surgeon Julian,
now at Fort Mcpherson, Georgia, are to
be exchanged for the newspaper men, Thrall
and Jones, now in MORO Castle, as is indi-
GATED by the following telegram to the State
department from Alex. Gollan, British con-
sui general at Havana:
All arranged. You can send prisoners at
once. Please wire me day and hour of de-
parture from Key West and probable ar
rival on Havana. Immediately flag is dis
Eerned, a Spanish steamer with Thrall and
Jones will be sent out to meet and ex-
change"
Promptly on the receipt of the informa-
zion by the State Department Secretary
Alger. signed ali orders directing the COM
manding general of the Department of the
Gulf to have prisoners Cortejo and Julian
taken to Key West and turned over to the
commander of the naval station there for
further orders. Accompanied by small
guard the two men will be taken to Tampa
and thence by water to Key West, when
arrangements will be made for the trip to
Havana and the subsequent exchange of
the two men for the American correspond
ents

CUBA AND PORTO RICO.
Their Products, Commerce and other
Maffers of Interest to Americana

Matters of Interest to Americans.
WASHINGTON, May BIN response to
the demand for information in regard to
Cuba and Porto Rico, the Bureau of For
eign Commerce, Department of State to-
day issued bulletin containing much inter-
esting information drawn from consular re-
ports and other official data concerning the
geography, products, commerce, railways,
debt, cables, etc, of these islands. 1t in
cludes also detailed descriptions of all the
large cities. 1t is pointed out that if all the
land suitable to the growth of sugar cane
was devoted to that industry Cuba might
supply the entire western hemisphere with
sugar The island already has produced in
single year for export 1000, 900 tons, and
its capabilities have been only in the ex-
perimental stage. Although settled fifty
years before the United States. Cuba still
has 100000 acres of primeval forests, in
Guiding mahogany, ebony and many other
valuable woods. In report from Consul
Hyatt the richness of the mineral deposits
about Santiago de Cuba is pointed out
American companies with combined capt.
tai of over S5,000,0OO now operate mines in
that vicinity and employ from 500 to 1,4OO
men, shipping to the United States from
$4,000 to $1,000 tons of iron ore per month,
most of it going to Bethlehem, Steelton,
Sparrows Point and Pittsburg. These iron
ores are said to be among the richest in the
world. Mr.. Hyatt believes that the old cop
per mines in the same vicinity, which used
TO turn out So, 000,0 900 worth of copper ore an
nually for use in the United States. could
be worked with profit. The extent of the
tobacco and sugar industries are given in
detail, although these have suffered serious
ly as a result of the last three years of
warfare. About ZOO of the inhabitants are
ordinarily engaged in the cultivation of to-
Dacco. The Cuban debt is placed at $685.
OOO,OOO, or about 1919 per inhabitant.
The description of Porto Rico is especially
interesting on account of San Juan harbor
1t states that the entrance to the harbor is
one of difficulty and danger, particularly
when norther is blowing. The "boca, J"
or entrance to the harbor, is a mass of
seetEtng, foaming water, and presents an
imposing spectacle. To see steamers of
from sixteen to eighteen feet draft enter
through this Seething "boca" is sight to
be remembered, as the great waves lift
them up and seem about to hurl them for
ward to destruction. San Juan is described
as d perfect specimen Of walled town,
with meats, gates and battlements.
The description of the various cities, both
In Cuba and Porto Rico, shows that yellow
FEVER and smallpox are everywhere preva-
lent, that the streets reek with filth, that
the water supply is poor and usually poll
luted, and that modern sanitary methods
are unknown.

MORO still Burning a Light.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 1.-the Asso-
ciated Press dispatch boat Wanda reports
MORO light is still burning at night and
absolute quiet prevails along the Cuban
coast. The rumors of heavy firing off
Cardenas on Monday had their origin in the
target practice of some of the gunboats on
the hulk of a sunken schooner between
Cardenas and Matanzas
Some of the smaller ships which returned
from various points on the blockade line
to-day brought no news. They confirm the
statement of the Wanda that all is quiet
along the coast. Although some of the
small ships cruised closely along the Cuban
shore there was no sign of hostility to-
wards them.
There was a rumor circulating about
town to-day that the Spanish squadron stole
unmolested into Havana last night. 1t
originated in manner peculiar to Key
West stories and not a shadow of confirma-
ton of the report could be obtained here.
The report of the bonlbardment of Santiago
de Cuba is discredted here.

CRUISER CHARLESTON RETURNS.
Her Condenser Tubes Leak and She
Comes Back for Repairs.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 19.-The United
States cruiser Charleston which sailed yes
terday for Manila with ammunition and
supplies for Admiral Dewey, is back at her
berth at Mare Island navy yard, with her
condensers out of order. The cruiser
steamed about the bay all day yesterday,
out of sight of San Francisco, while her
compasses were being adjusted and cargo
trimmed When everything was in readi-
ness for a start on the long journey the
condensers were found to be out of order
The accident is not regarded here as serious,
and it is thought that within forty-eight
hours the Charleston will be far out on the
Pacific on her way to Manila. When the
ship left the navy yard yesterday every
thing went well until the bay was reached
Then it was that the condenser tubes began
to leak slightly. They were repaired but
soon commenced to leak again While the
damage could have been repaired at sea or
when the ship reached Honolulu, Captain
Glass thought 1t best not to risk leakage
to the boilers, and consequently returned
to the navy yard, where the facilities for
quick repairing are more complete than at
Honolulu. The cause of the trouble is at
tr1buted to the work of the navy mechanics
mere was no opportunity to test the con-
densers before the ship left the yard, and
it was only when the vessel was being
forced through the water at full speed that
the detect was made manifest. Captain
CA~SS NY lOI iIiS statement THAT
the accident, while annoying, is not serious.
and that repairs can be made in a Few
hours.
Maj. S. Long, of the quartermaster's de-
partment, says that work on the naval
transport, City of Picking, and the army
transports, Australia and City of Sydney,
is progressing well, and that the former
will be ready, as far as his department is
concerned in short time. The commits
and the supplies are all ready to be placed
on the transports as fast as they can be
stored away. Enough live stock will be
shipped with the expedition to furnish one
fresh-meat ration a day for twelve days,
and this, together with vegetables will be
taken on the last thing before casting off
The Red Cross Society has arranged to
send one or two dozen competent men
nurses with the Philippine expedition, pro-
Vlded they will enlist. They will be ex-
cused from all military duties and be re-
leased at the end of war.
