AALA PARK.

There is just ground for complaint
that the Minister of the Interior has
not obeyed the direction of the Legis-
!ature, and converted the reclaimed
land at Aala, into a Free and Public
Recreation ground. The money need
ed for the purpose is provided for in
the general appropriation bill, and,
therefore, need not await the negotia-
ton Of Government bonds.
The inability of the Minister of the
Inferior, owing to protracted illness,
seems to have prevented the execution
of the directions of the Legislature in
this and other matters. 1t is really
unfortunate that the Minister is dis
abIed at a time when the Interior office
needs the most energetic administra-
ton. The interests of the country
suffer from it. The business of the
Interior office is carried on. under the
circumstances, so that much is accom-
pnshed. But the future of the Islands
| is largely dependent now on the vigi-
lance and activity of this office. The
lneed of the hour is an extraordinarily
bold and effective administration.

ROOSEVELT AND THE NEGRO

Our contemporary the Bulletin de-
clared, not long ago, that it was an
insult to the native to compare him
with the negroes of the United States.
We believed that an opinion of such
a character was calculated to lead the
natives to take wrong views of their
political rights, and relations TO the
Federal government. For, if the native
is so superior to the negro that it is
unjust and insulting to suggest a COM
parison, the native would surely have
the right to claim more consideration
from the government in political privi-
leges than the negro can claim. If
Congress, that is, the Republican party
should fail to give the native the same
political privileges that the negro now
has, the native will feel that he is most
unfairly treated, because he is empha-
tically told by paper loyal to the
Republican party that he is superior
TO the negro.
Col. Roosevelt, on the 14th of Octo-
Der, addressed large audience OF
colored men in n. Y. City. He spoke
of the bravery of the colored troops in
the charge at San Juan, and said:
Il want to say that one of the things
which gave me most pleasure in adj
ministering the Civil Service law was
that, in administering it impartially
toward all, was able to bring into the
service of the Government a number OF
coIored men and women of education
who would not otherwise have had {
career before them, simply by urging
all persons wishing Government office:
to come forward and take the eXamin
atoms with an even chance and the
knowledge that the best fitted mar
would get the place.

NAVIGABLE WATERS

The Supreme Court of the United
States has recently affirmed once more
the right of the Federal Government
to keep the absolute control over the
navigable waters adjoining the shores
within it's jurisdiction.
AS these Islands are now within
United States jurisdiction, all consti-
tutional provisions now prevail here,
and there can be no private interfer-
ence with, or encroachment upon, navi-
gable waters. What the line Of naviga-
bic waters is, has not been definitely
settled. How far a wharf may be built
into the sea has not been declared by
the court The indications are that
a common sense view of the matter
will be taken. and that wharves may
be lawfully built to the edge of deep
navigable water The question still re-
mains. what is the proper depth OF
deep" navigable water?

New York, June 1.-The Worlds
Port Antonio, Jamaica, special says:
The first engagement between Schlcy's
squadron and the Spanish ships OF
Cervera took place Sunday night about
midnight. Two torpedo boats made q
desperate effort to destroy the Amcri-
can ships. They were stopped in the
nick of time. owing to the vigilance OF
the men under Captain Phillip of the
Texas. The torpedo boats had cleared
the harbor and were creeping along in
the shadow of Castle MORO and the
i:!;}.ntain at the entrance of the har-
Dor. They had travelled two miles to
westward when the officer Of the deck
Oh the Texas sighted them through
his night glasses. Two searchlights
of the Texas were turned on them. and
the next instant the men who had been
sleeping at the loaded guns were
aroused and at work The flashing of
the lights told the Spaniards they
were discovered and they made aquick
rush toward the Brooklyn and the
Texas. Before their bows had swung
around the crews of the port bat
tcries of the Texas were pumping
steel at them. The rapid-fre guns were
used. The din Of the guns of the Tex
as alarmed the whole fleet. The ma
chine guns of the Brooklyn were at
work in . few seconds after the Texas
started in. The other ships were ly-
ing further off shore. The call to
general quarters was sounded on
each OF them. in the belief that
all Of Ccrvera's fleet was coming out in
a desperate effort to escape. Search
lights were played on the waters by
all ships. The Texas and the Brook
lyn poured forth such a shower of
shells. that the torpedo boats were
forced to seek safety in the harbor
What damage they sustained is not
known. The torpedo boats took shell
ter under the forts and no attempt to
pursue them was made. 1t is thought
that neither of them was struck as
they rctreated quickly and made small
targets in the uncertain moonlight.
The Spaniards did not discharge their
torpedoes, though they got within 500
yards Of the Texas.
