EXPLANATION IN ORDER.
Regarding Germany's Assisting Aug
usti to Escape.

London. Aug. 1.-THE Times in an
editorial article this morning says:
LAS the signing of the protocol could
not have been known when the Ger
mans arranged to remove Governor
General August, the transaction be-
comes remarkably near deliberate
man action, General August would
have been a. most important prisoner of
war. The whole story decidedly wants
explanation.
The Times does not think that the
United States would be satisfied to be
bounded by the horizon advocated by
Mr.. Carnegie. in the North American
Review and says: ''On the contrary,
entering cOsn1ic society and playing
their part in the movement of the
world, instead of standing outside and
making money and influence which they
cannot use for any purpose that ap-
pears to the Imagination.
Putting the things in a more concise
form, we imagine it IS felt, more eff
fectually, after the capture of Manila
after a fight, responsibilities in cOnnec-
ton with the Philippines which are not
to be disposed of by such purely util-
itarian and materialist arguments as MT
Carnegie puts forth"
The Times, commenting on the Ger
rutf case as useful reminder that ar
bitratiOn is not always so easy, rapid
and efficient a method of settling dis
putes as philanthropists are apt to be
HeVe, says: Here is a very sim
pie case. The facts were scarcely dis
puted. The litigant countries were of
a kindred race and the arbitrator was
a big brother of all the South American
republics. The award was stated in the
plainest possible terms and imposed no
intOlerable burdens; yet it has required
seventeen months to bring the losing
party to pay its debt. The United
States can hardly feel gratified at the
action of a third rate little nation which
has by so long evading the plain terms
of Mr.. CleVeland's award, insulted a
great republic and furnished fresh ar
gument against the expediency of arbi-
tratiOn in such cases.

A GREAT NAVAL BASE.
Guantanamo Bay is an Ideal Loca-
ton.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
On Board the United States Cruiser
Brooklyn, Guantanamo Bay, Aug. 1.-THE
officers of the North Atlantic squadron
are becoming enthusiastic over the de-
STABILITY of the United States holding this
bay as a permanent naval base. 1t is
generally agreed that on all our southern
coast and in all the West Indies there
is not anchorage that can compare
with this one. Here is a bay with a soft
bottom in which an anchor finds a good
hold, thus preventing chains fOuling.
There is a splendid entrance fully a mile
wide between the hills that protect it and
with the dangerous West Indian reef min
imized as to its destructive tendencies by
west. The hills at the entrance are high
enough for all purposes such as the
placing of lighthouses and the erection of
earthworks and Notifications. With
danger in entering the harbor at night,
and indeed, without such a guide the big
entrance could easily be mined for protec-
ton and at short notice.
Once inside the harbor its splendid facili-
ties are Immediately visible. It is a broad
eXpanse of water of great depth and eX-
tending north into the island for six
does not prevail over the entire expanse
of the harbor, but at this writing there
arRaat least twenty large vessels anchored
in@the deep and well sheltered portion of
the bay and as many more could find good
The survey made by Captain Sumner of
the cruiser Columbia which was stopped
in 1895 by the Spanish government, shows
that there are about two and a half
square miles of anchorage of depth of
45 feet or Whereabouts and far enough in
side to be protected from any wind that
may blow. Then there are. about two
square miles of anchorage for vessels
drawing "a feet or less. In other words,
the great battleships Iowa, Texas. Indi-
ana. Oregon and Massachusetts and the
cruisers New York and Brooklyn could
be anchored in the first place, while the
entire remainder of the American navy
could rest further up the bay Torpedo
boats and small gunboats and converted
yachts could move in any portion of the
immense bay
There are good points on small bays
where dry docks could be constructed and
where cOaling facilities could be establish
ed. Fresh water is obtainabIe at two
places, the mouth of the Guantanamo
river. a mile from the entrance, and the
mouth of the Capmannez river, six miles
up the bay.
The remarkably healthy character of the
place considering the general conditions
of unhealthiness of the whole island, is
demonstrated in the entire absence of
sickness among the marines stationed
there. With proper sanitary precautions
there need be no fear of sickness and it
is evident that sickness among the resi-
dent population in the cities near here is
due to the lack of sanitary precautions
and the filthinesS of the inha bitantS.
