A PACIFIC POWER.
The Phrase Describes Us, and We Spell
 Pacific With a Large P.

London, Sept 12.-Mr. Sidney Low. late editor of the St. James Gazette, is writing a series of special articles for the Pail Mall Gazette, entitled The United States, the Pacific and the Is- thmus.' In one of these he says that shortly before the outbreak Of the war q discussion occurred at a luncheon table in Washington between two American notabilities. One Of them remarked:
 "The United States should have no concern with militarism or imperial ism. We are a pacific power.'''
 II guess we are, replied the other but we intend to spell pacific with q large P"
 These words. Mir Low writes. were prophetic. Manifest destiny. if ever q. nation had one. is driving tue United States in the direction along which she has moved with startling rapidity since spring. Two things. the supremacy Of the Caribbean sea and the Mexican gulf and the maintenance of influence in the Pacific, are so closely connected that they arc likely to determine the character of American foreign policy for some time to come.

BIG GUNS SKATER DIDN'T USE
Brought Back From Santiago Without Having Left the Hold of the Ship.

New York, Sept 12.-The army transport Orizaba, chartered by the government from the Ward line, was reported yesterday to Colonel Amos &. Kimball, deputy quartermaster gen. eral. as having arrived at Montauk Point with troops from Santiago. The report was made by Captain Jonathan Patton, quartcrmastcr U. $. N., ap- pointed from civil life at the begin ming of the war.
 Captain Patton is mild hammered and essentially q man Of peace. He in- spected the Crizaba and was evidently impressed with what he saw. He told Colonel Kimball over the telephone that besides soldiers the ship had on board a lot Of great, big guns He wanted to know what he should do with the cannon.
 In She multitude of things that have occupied his attention since the war began Colonel Kimball had almost forgotten that the government had ever chartered such vessel as the Orizaba. and he couldn't for the life O. him figure out what "a lot of great, big guns" were doing on a 'rcop ship. Later in the day, however, he recalled that the Orizaba was one of the trans ports which carried Shafter's army to Cuba, and was considered by the war department at that time to be one of the most important ships in the expo dition, because ill her hold had been stored away all the heavy artillery with which the walls of Santiago were to be battered down. In the lot were the 5-inch breechloading rifles and T. inch breschloading howitzers and T. inch breechlCading mortars.
 Colonel Kimball called up Washing ton, and told the quartermaster gener- al the news, whereat that officer said things.
 Late yesterday afternoon Colonel Kimball was directed to unload the transports on her arrival here, ship the guns by rail to the Rock Island arsenal, near Chicago, and she ammu-
