OUR WARSHIPS NEEDS
Requisites i0t Safety That the Block
aiding Fleet Lacks.

KEY WEST, May 7.-Thcrc are certain
things which ought to be said about the
American blockading squadron off the
north coast Of Cuba which the army
officers serving the United States as press
censors refuse to wire, although the
navy officers afioat are not only willing
but really anxious to have them said
Here is Il fleet stretched from the east
ward Of Cardcnas to the west ward of
Maricl, in shore and out shore. They
range in size and power from the mighty
Iowa to tug with one 6-pounder on
the bow. As blockaders their crews
must be continually alert and ready to
drive the ships at the utmost whenever
any vessel appears which they do not in
Stantly recognize. There has not been Il
day since last Friday morning, when the
fleet sailed from this point, that any Of
the ships have not gone in chase of
strangers, while at least half the ships
have had fires burning and steam at full
pressure several times in the course of
twenty.four hours.
Now, the importance OF this fact lies in
this, that every squirt Of speed makes an
enormous draught on the coal bunkers.
People read about the coal capacity of
the various ships; they see that one ship
has steaming radius Of 5000 miles and
anothe of 5000 at ten knots per hour,
and they assume that these might lie off
Havana idle or with engines running
dead slow indefinitely. 1t is even sus.
pected that the Navy Department has
been permeated with this false idea, tor,
although a week has passed, no move
has been made, so far as known here, to
send golfers to the blockading squadron.
To people in the States this complaint
may seem uncalled for when coaling
stations have been established at both
Key West and the Dry Tortugas, which
are only ninety miles from the Cuban
coast.
They probably think-those in au-
thority may think-that ninety miles is
an inconsiderable distance to go for COAL
but at cruising speed ten knots the time
consumed going and coming is eighteen
houls, and in short, every vessel coming
here for coal is likely to be a day and
half away from her station.
If coal ships were provided it would
be possible on many days at this season
to coal any of the blockaders without
The sun. (Wilmington, Del.) 1897-19??, 1898-05-08

leaving the station at all, and it could be
done 30 that the ship would be able at
any minute to cast of the Golfers lines
and chase stranger.
The matter OF providing fresh water
for the boilers of the fleet is quite az i'm
portant as the coal. As the reader will
remember, barges full Of fresh water have
been brough here from Tampa for the
use OF the war fleet. The expense was
great and the delay in taking it on board
OF still more Importance.
A condensing plant is in course Of con-
struction here to avoid in part the ex-
pense, but the delay in coming to port
for water might be avoided in part If
barges with suitable tanks and pumps
were provided for watering ships on sta
ton. OF course some OF the ships carry
condensers, but they are not all SO pro-
vided.
Next to coal and water in importance
is the matter Of engineering supplies.
Naval officers have been bearing that
Chief Engineer Melville was fitting up a
floating machine shop and engineering
supply ship, but they have not seen, thus
far, the smoke OF her funnel
There is not day passes that some
thing in the way of pumps, nuts, bolts,
steel and brass rods, sheet metal, pack
ing, what not is not wanted. The swift
torpedo boats are especially ravenous
consumers of engineering supplies. But
the stock Of these is well nigh consumed
both afioat and ashore.
Last of all, but of importance, never
hn1 &c ha nfc fnr N
mess tables. The blockading squadron
lies in the torrid zone. There is abund-
ance OF cured and canned provisions on
BOARD all the ships, but the comfort of
the crews demand something more.
They can live in health on corned beef,
canned goods, and hard tack, perhaps,
but they should have plenty of fresh
meats, fruits, and ice. The short dis
lance between Key West and the Cuban
coast is in this matter we'll worth con-
sidering for here is market that can be
made to afford all the fresh supplies
needed. and the Government should see
that what were called "beef boats" dur
ing the civil war are provided.
has thought Of the profit to be had in
running steam bumboats over to the fleet
on private account.
1t may be said that the United States
Army will within a few days invade
Cuba to aid Gomez, and so possibly end
to certain extent the work OF a block
aiding squadron. But even if this be
done the American warships must hover
about the Cuban coast until the Cubans
have established Government for them

DEATH OF GEN. JAS. r. CHALMERS

The death Of Gen. Jas. r. Chalmers.
which occurred in Memphis last Satur-
day morning, removes one more Of the
very few remaining distinguished lead
ers Of the Confederacy.
The brilliant record Of Gen. Chalmers
is familiar to Southerners. generally,
and especially to Mississippians, among
whom he lived. His record as a man,
as a lawyer as a soldier are without a
flaw or blemish. He was one OF the
most brilliant lawyers in all the great
galaxy which has made Mississippi
famed for its great lawyers. AS a man,
as a gentleman, under any test Of a gen.
tleman, be was without a superior.
Kind-hearted, courteous, generous and
hospitable, he was a most lovable COM
panion and friend.
1t was as soldier, however, that
Gen, Chalmers shone brightest. He
himself felt greater pride in his mill
tary career than in any Of his other
achievements. He was a model of
dashing courage, of chivalric devotion
to his cause and to his duty. He soon
won the confidence, love and esteem of
his comrades, which he held through
all his after life.
Gen. Chalmers had brief but brill
liant career in politics. He was soon
estranged from his party and the great
majority of his people. For this he has
been severely censured by some. But
while his people could not follow him
politically, be still retained their es-
teem and respect. He doubtless COM
mltted grievous error, but it was one
from which he alone suffered. Perhaps
it was fault-A weakness, but he had
bright and lofty virtues sufficient to
enable US to forget his faults in admi-
ration of his better qualities.
1t would be neither appropriate nor
necessary to review Gen. Chalmers
war record here in detai!-it is an open
book to all the world, to which bis
countrymen can refer with pride and
qualification.

Many over-Zealous admirers OF eX-
President Cleveland are demanding
that the public consider that the $50
100000 emergency fund recently voted
by congress for coast defenses was put
10 the treasury by the courage and pa
triotism Of Mr.. Cleveland, who issued
s263, 900. 600 of interest bearing bonds,
in order to raise the money which came
to save the present administration from
embarrassment in grave crisis. Mr..
Cleveland's friends are unfortunate in
referring to this matter. Now, Mr..
Cleveland either foresaw the emergen-
cy which came, three years before any
body else saw it, or he did not. If he
foresaw it and unseltishly made provis-
ion for his successor. then he wilfully
deceived his countrymen and made
them pay heavy interest unnecessarily
on an enormous bond issue. for it was
his avowed purpose at the time to pre-
serve the treasury gold reserve. If Ee
did not foresee the Cuban crisis. ther,
according to the logic Of his admirers,
he was wholly unjustitiable in saddling
heavy interest bearing bonded debt
upon the country. Mr.. Mckinley has
the same power to issue bonds that Mr..
Cleveland had. Then why not have
saved the interest on the bonds for the
Intervening time: That there was no
necessity for the bond issues at that
time is amply proven by the fact tina.
there remained in the treasury for one
year after Mckinley's inauguration
