The news from the Philippine islands
will serve to stimulate the United States
government to very positive measures
with regard to Spain. II matters We're
progressing easily and without friction
on the islands. it might be well enough
to be patient with Spain in her agonies,
but the need of protection from the in
srrgents. which cannot be given In the
present diplomatic relations between the
two countries. makes 1t absolutely
necessary to close the negotiations
quickly.
While those negotiations are pending
ii would be contrary to international
ers TO engage in hostilities. but should
there be either an agreement or dis
agreement between the two powers, the
way would be opened up for Dewey to
do that which 1t must irritate him TO
know he cannot do.
Perhaps that is what the Spanish
commissioners hope will take place.
They dread making the concessions, not
because they care so much that the
islands are lost. because they know that
practically they are already. but upon
them would be visited the wrath Of the
Spanish people. The surrender Of the
islands would not be regarded as a
military necessity forced upon Spain
by the guns of Dewey, but surrender
by representatives of Spain in the COM
mission sitting at Paris. So long as
those commissioners avoid signing the
treaty they will be regarded as patriots
and honored; the moment they sign the
concession. they would be denounced as
traitors and reviied. II they should
with language characteristic OF the
Spaniard and with dramatic acces-
series, refuse to sign the treaty, and
declare that Spain would rather lose
everything than honor. they could re-
turn 10 their country and be assured
OF royal welcome. II would be none
Of their business that Immediately after
the close Of the last session Of the COM
mission orders should be sent to Dewey
TO take possession Of the islands in the
name OF the United States and proceed
with that elegant plan which was un-
fortunately interrupted by the protocol.

Military balloons have been used with
some advantage and this has encouf-
aged army engineers to take more inter-
est In the subject OF aerial navigation.
Gen. Greedy. OF the signal service, has
become one Of the new converts. and
he has invited the cooperation OF Prof.
s. p. Langley, Of the Smithsonian In
stitution. Prof. Langley spent several
years constructing an airship which
fsw for half q mile. but then became
unruanageable and was injured by col
iision with the earth.
Lieut. NirdIinger has gone further
than this and in few days expects to
travel from New York TO Washington
in an airship- There are some novel
features about this invention, but
whether they Will stand that test be-
fore which all his predecessors have
gone down cannot be determined until
the eventful voyage is made. The bal
loon Is shaped like a crayon, and from
its body descend ropes to which the
car Is attached. The originality In the
design IL that on each side Of the
crayon-shaped balloon Is e blower box,
such as that used In grain mills and
saw mills. The theory is that they will
pull the balloon along by sucking the air
through tunnels and pushing it out be-
hind They are driven by high-speed
engine. supplied with motive energy
from tank OF liquid carbonic gas. AS
this material takes the form Of vapor
1t gives an easily controlled volume Of
power for long time in proportion to
the dead weight carried The steering
is managed by changing the angle Of
the tunnels through which the air IL
sucked in. The inventor calculates to
go at the rate Of mile a minute.
All this is SO delightful that we may
hope 1t may prove true. Even il 1t
should not be altogether a success, if
the principle is the right one, the gov
eminent would be justified in spending
some money upon further experiments.

bureau Of yards and docks. is a dsap-
pointment. but II may prove TO result in
advantage. The selection of Port Or
chard was made by some very infiuen-
tial members OF congress. among whom
Is Senator Piatt, of New York. He made
q visit to Puget sound at the request
Of President Harrison. In company with
several other prominent men, and the
utmost care was taken to insure that
the selection OF site would be a wise
one. The people OF Seattle at that time
were making q strenuous fight In favor
Washington. TO be connected with the
Sound by a canal The naval experts
who were on that tour OF inspection IA
vored Port Orchard as the best possible
site for several reasons. One was that
IL was landioeked harbor, and no for
eign battleship would attempt TO enter;
there was ample room for the largest
war vessel to move in, and the site was
sufficiently remote from a city to insure
that employees of the government could
be kept under control in times of emer-
gency and there would be less fear OF
espionage. The distance of large city
from the navy yard was then regarded
as an advantage. and 1t was pointed out
that Mare island was about the same
distance from the city OF San Francisco.
Powerful influences are at work to
save to San Francisco the navy yard in
California There are many advantages
sound. although it would always be a
benefit to maintain repairing plant
near San Francisco, and probably one
also at San Diego. 1t will cost an enor-
nous sum to put Mare island in the
condition that Port Orchard has been
placed by nature. 1t win take nearly
$i.0oe.ooe to make the San Francisco
naval station fit to have any money
spent upon 1t for machinery. BY spend
ing less than 81. 000. 600 the United States
government would have one OF the fin
est navy yards and construction plants
ii could desire. There can be no reason
except a political one. for preferring
San Francisco to Puget sound.
When Mr. Endicott says that it would
not be desirable to make any extensive
improvements, unless it should be the
intention of congress TO do Il consider
able portion of the work for the navy
here. he is stating precisely what was
the intention OF congress when the
plans were laid down The drydock is
calculated to accommodate the largest
ship likely to be fioated. and 1t has al
ready demonstrated It's capacity and its
strength by docking the battleship Ore
