AS u World Power.

The most momertus event of the
century, since the peace of 1873 wa,
concluded, seems likely to be the en-
trance of seventh great power in the
field. The United States are evident
ly determined to take their place as an
Asiatic. an insular and oceanic, and
practically European power. They
can do SO only by becoming a great
naval and a considerable military
power. 1t is in vain to appeal to the
traditional maxims of Washington
and the statesmen who followed him
-maxlms which have been repeated
and are still repeated in a rather me-
chanical way. The principle of organ
lzlng New World, almost indepen-
dent, as it were, of the Old, and OF
avoiding cntanglement in the complex
tiles OF European policy, was intelligi
bic In the days when steam had not
bridlcd the ocean and electricity had
not made communication instantane-
Gus, and the vast unsettled districts
Of America afforded more than ade-
Iuate scope for American enterprise
and industry. Now it is an anachron-
ism.
The United States are, SO far as
time and facility Of communication are
concerned, practically as near to some
parts of Europe as eastern and west
ern Europe are to each other, and they
are nearer to the eastern Archipelago,
in which apparently they seek to OBJ
tain footing, than the European states
which already hold possession there.
In competing with other states for
the commerce Of the world, they will
need stations in which their trading
ships can take refuge, and can supply
themselves with coal, and provision
themselves. They will further need
cruisers to protect their commerce and
to guarantee the safety of the seas.
Their vast resources will make the
burden of expenditure light upon them.
An army almost on the European scale
might be supported on the sums an
nually wasted on profigate pensions

yond contemporary example, even his
toric precedent. London World.

Cuba Once English.

The rich island Of Cuba was once in
the possession Of England.
In the spring of 1862 fleet left
Falmouth for the West Indies. George
the third Earl of Albcrmarlc, com
mandcd the expedition, while under
him served his two brothers. On June
=, 1862, the feet cast anchor before
Havana with an army Of ! 900 men
on board
At daybrcak on the 9TH the siege
commenced
The art Of wagins war in the hot
climate, j. chopsc the cool season Of
the year Unfortunately for the
british Cuba was extremely hot and
unhealthy in the month Of June, and
it was therefore the very worst season
in which The siege Of Havana could
have been attempted
After Havana had fallen the Earl
Of Albcnarlc wrote home to the see
rotary Of state I'VE are now better
acquainted with the climate than we
were when the present expedition was
undertaken and it is certain that the
only season in the year for troops to
act in is from the beginning Of No
vcmbcr to the latter end of March. ;"
The MORO fort was the chief point
Of resistance; it guarded the entrance
tn the harbor Of Havana. Supporting
the guns Of the fort were eleven Span
lsh men off, war. Six Of these carried
seventy guns, one carried nincty-fou
and the remainder were sfxty-gun
ships. 1t took three weeks to get
the slegc guns landed and in posi-
ton. The Spaniards fought bravcly
and did great damage to the attacking
feet
BY the middle Of July the defense
was practically at an end. On Aug.
II articles Of capitulation were signed
and the victors proudly set up the
British flag in Havana after a splcn-
did fight for the richest city in the
Indies.
At the assault Of Moro 706 Span
iards were killed, wounded and taken
prisoners. The Spanish loss alto
gethcr was not less than 5000 men.
The British losses were 500 duri <
the fight ana by the end of October
(the men had been dying of like flies
from sickness owing to the climate)
the death roll arose to the enormous
number of 4708.
Although Albemarle sent off great
number of survivors to New York to
recruit their health the mortality was
very great there, and he eventually
found himself in command of only
1000 men. 1t is interesting to note
in passing that his estimate of the
force necessary to hold Cuba was
5000 men. Spain to-day has more
than 10O,0 600 men in Cuba.
On FEBRUARY 10, 1862, the treaty of
Paris was concluded between Eng
land, France and Spain, and Cuba
passed again under Spanish rule, be-
ing given up almost for the asking.

Clever Legal Work.

"Our clcvcrcst work, said the ole
lawyer, reminiscently, "is not always
done in court.
"No?" said the young man, inquir.
ingly.
''Decidcdly not, replied the old
lawyer.
Possibly you could give an illus
tration, suggested the young man
"I'ndoubtcdly could, replied the
old lawyer. ''ln fact, was thinking
of the case of an irasciblc old fellow
who once kicked servant out Of the
house
For what reason? q
principally because he was angry
but | will have to confess that have
forgotten the exact occasion for his
anger. | believe there was a differ
cncc Of opinion a. to the amount Of
wages the man was entitled to. At
any rate, the tcsty old gentleman put
himself in the wrong when he elected
the man with violence Of both language
and action, and the man was smart
enough to know it, He hunted up q
lawyer immediately and put the case
i'll his hands, and then | was called
in. The wrathy old fellow was mad
clear through, and he was going to
fight the case all the way up to the
highest court and back again if ncces-
sary. However. he was a personal
friend Of mine, and / didn't want to
see him waste his money foolishly, SO
| advised him to compromise it.
Not if he offers to compromise
for ten cents, he asserted, vocifcr-
ously. III fight this case clear to
the limit no matter how much it
costs.
Il argued with him, but it was no
use. He'd pay me anything 1 wanted
to fight the case, but he wouldn't pay
the plaintiff cent, I suppose
would have been justified under the
circumstances in going ahead and let
ting him run into lot of expensive
aud useless litigation, but l didn t
like to do it just the same. So | went
to see the lawyer on the other side.
He knew he had good case, but he
also knew that my client had lots of
money and could make prolonged
and costly fight. Consequently he
was inclined to be reasonable. He
hunted up his client and talked it
over with him, and the client said he
would compromise for $25 clear for
himself. His lawyer made reason
able charge and I closed with them
both on the spot and paid them.
Then | went back to my client, told
him | had put up such bluff that he
never would hear of the case again,
turned in bill that covered the cost
Of the settlement I had effected, and
he paid it without a murmur. He
sometimes speaks to me now Of the
clever work l did in that case, but he
doesn't know how clever it really was
and what lot of cash it saved him.

house of a suburban agriculturist re-
Gently, and while he was eating the
rations that had been furnished at his
solicitation, he was asked:

Only One Cowardly Soldier.

During all the fighting by the
American troops in Cuba have heard
of but one case of white -livered sol
der. said an officer who has lately
returned to the United States to Star
reporter. 'It is an illustration Of the
adage, 'Whosoever would save his life
must lose, though not exactly in the
sense these words are used in the BIZ
BILE. [ will not name the regiment Of
which the soldier was a member, but
at the moment Of making the famous
charge up San Juan hill this man evi-
IDENTIFY determined that he would save
himself. Near the regiment was big
pile Of corrugated iron roofing. The
soldier in the hurry of the charge got
behind this corrugated iron, regarding
it as the safest place in sight. He
didn't know that that material hsd
been placed there by the Spaniards as
range-finder, it being just two thou
sand yards from their carthworks.
After the battle the soldier was found
in his retreat with at least fifty bullets
in his body. He would not have been
in one-hundredth part of the danger
he placed himself in had he bravely
gone up the hill amid the storm of bull
let's. His corrugated iron shield was
fairly riddled with lead, the thin iron
being readily pierced. = Washington
