War and Navy departments. The Government
spent a vast amount Of money in building at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard a drydocl, the proper
construction of which was essential to the safe
~ of warships and to the proper defence Of the
land. 1t turns out that the Government has
been cheated and that the drydock Is a useless

THE SPANISH MENACE.

The Spanish menace is against Spain herself
There is and there probably will be no wer BE-
tween the United States and Spain. Every dag
makes such catastrophe more Improbable
Every outbreak In Havana against the Gov
ernor-General makes 1t more improbable. III.
stead Of making danger Of war, the riOt'ng aud
other occurrences Of last week removed such
danger from the field Of practical consideration
Nevertheless. II Is not amiss TO point out that
the indictments at Havana-and at Madrid
and throughout the Peninsula. too-are playing
a perous game. There is no use In trying TO
conceal the fact. They are agitating against
the granting Of autonomy TO Cuba, even the
imperfect autonomy OF the present system, and
are menacng the Government which granted
it. Beyond that they are credibly reported to
be conspiring against the dynasty which gives
that Government countenance. Let us see what
would be the outcome Of their campaign If it
should be carried further and to success.
They cannot hope thus to subdue Cuba. Their
iireconcilable policy. administered by Weyler
himself. backed by united Spain utterly ard
ANONYMOUSLY failed in that attempt after two
years Of unrelentng trial. Its chances Of sue
would be hopelessly less If renewed
with the backing not Of a united but OF n fac
tion-rent and distracted nation. A part Of Spain
cannot hope to do what the whole Of Spain
could not do. Nor can the malconents hope 10
wreak vengeance upon the United States for
what they falsely imagine its injuries TO the
Spanish cause The disparity Of strength in
such contest would be sufficiently marked
were Spain united and prosperous. With Spin
in the throes Of revolution or civil war and
Frustrated in all her interests It would he both
pitiable and grotesque.
What then? They may harass Marsha!
Blanco, but in so doing they will simply be
giving the greatest possible aid and comfort to
Maxine Gomez and Calixto Garcia. They may
destroy what order there is in Cuba. and
sail what American interests still exist there
but in so doing they will merely drive the two
objects of their hatred, the Spanish and United
States governments closer together. and Ter
h0ps make necessary an Intervention of the lat
ter to which the former would not object They
may even upset the Alfonsist dynasty and put
the Carst In Its place. but that would ne 10
lose Cuba beyond all hope OF recovery, and TO
make Of Spain Itself n wreck no satecraft
could hope to rehabilitate Those are the ends
the only possible ends, toward which they are
pressing. The menace Is not against the Cuban
insurgents, nor against the United States, but
against Spain herself
