r:cre must be done by the Legislative
branch of the government in order that
the real efficiency of the naval and mill
tary forces may be increased To this end
the joint resolution recently passed by the
Serate providing for a survey of the
branch and an estimate of the cost of re-
claiming the flats ought to be passed
promptly by the House, in order that the
engineering officers not actively engaged in
military operations may soon prepare a
scheme of improvement. 1t will not re-
quire many minutes to give this measure
all the consideration it needs. 1t is the
first necessary formality before the actual
work Of reclamation is undertaken. Insig-
nificant streams in all parts of the country
are given the same attention without any
hesitation, often in cases where the need
of dredging and retaining is at least ques-
ticnable. Here is case where the health
o. the national capital and the efficiency of
the nations workmen are daily, hourly
5eopardized by the failure of the govern
ment to appropriate the means necessary
for the removal Of paipably dangerous
condition. There was never more worthy
project or one calling more insistently for
prompt action.

Captain Sissbee Among Friends,

Captain Siasbee says it is gratifying to
be able to look about him once more and
see the light of kindly feeling in the eyes
OF the persons he meets. Doubtless this
sentiment inspires every American citizen
who returns to lis own shores after So
journ in The city of Havana. Captain
Sigsbee's experience there was such as to
make him the object of especial attention
from the street crowds. This brave officer
deserves the thanks CT the nation for his
calm, brave conduct in the face of great
emergency. His message of warning to his
government and his people, asking for
suspension of judgment, is already written
in history as one of the mos- commeIdable
items of personal conduct ever recorded.
His diligent labors since the Maine was de-
stroyed. for the relief of the wounded, the
| recovery of the bodies of the dead, and the
salvage of the public property, demon
strated that he was indeed well pla ced and
it is not remarkable that he should have
looked in vain in Cuba for the light of
sympathy in the eyes of those he met, save
in the strictly American official and pri-
vate circles of the Cuban capital. Nothing
typeffes the stress of feeling against this
ration more str;kirgly than these few
words of gratitude from this brave officer
They reveal volumes concerning the state
OF bitter hatred that prevails in Havana
against everything American. Indeed the
looks of dislike and menace that have met
his eyes during these past few weeks are
but the natural precedent for and sequel of
the dastardly act by which the Maine and
her men were destroyed. Captain Sigsbee
will never fail to find in the eyes of his
own countrymen a steady light of gratitude
and kindness.

lrlte OF the present l 600 men of u regiment.
in double rank. without intervals, is about
800 yards, and in single rank GOO yards.
Every regimental commander of Our late
war will appreciate the difficulty of COM
DIN of battle neither voice nor buSic note
can easily be heard. The noise of conflict
has been greatly intensified by the intro
dUction of the breech-loading repeating
hrearm. To sum up the tactical
Matter, the old line-of-battle formation
used during our civil war now belongs to
the past as completely as the Macedonian
pha!anx. ard the general who would use it
would simply invite the murder of his army
and sacrifice the cause of his country on
the altar of imbecile conservatism The
present organization Is Objectionable in
that it has no expansive power, and must
be totally changed in time of war, thus
violating a familiar military maxim that
the plan of army should be the same
in time of peace a in time of war;.
The best authorities, all the world over,
are a unit as TO the desirability of such re-
organization as is now being sought by
those in whose keeping we have placed our
military affairs Should there be an out
break of hostilities over this Cuban diff
Guilty such changes are provided for In
the Hull bill will be absolutely necessary
Why is not this the better time to make
such changes?

Columbus, 1492-CoIon, ,s9s.

Four hundred and six years ago Chris
TOPPER Columbus, Genoese sailor of for
tune, sailed from the port of Palos, Spain,
On his voyage of discovery that resulted In
the opening of the new world to settle
menr and civilization. Today there sailed
from the Spanish port Of Cartagena a
fleet of three formidable warships, one OF
which. curiously enough. bears the Spanish
name of the discoverer, Christobal Colon.
The mission of that ship and her conveys
is rot one of peace or enlightenment The
parallel is strikingly illustrative of the
changes Of a few centuries. Even a few
years serve to turn the international whirl-
igig into strangely new relations. In 1883,
i've years ago. this country did honor to
the country that aided Columbus and paid
striking attentions to his descendant. To-
day the relations of these two nations with
each other are so delicate that war is an
Imminent possibility

Elections In Cuba.

Mr.. Pepper in his special to The Star
printed yesterday states that the elections
held in Havana last Sunday for the pur-
pose of choosing deputies to the Spanish
Cortes were farcical. A pre-arrangsd plan
was easily carried out by which the party
in sympathy with the Sagasta policy Sc
led two-thirds of the representatives.
But was any otner result possible or to
be expected? Havana is under martial
law. The city swarmS with Spanish SOL
diers. All orders come from General Blan-
co. who in turn, receives his orders from
Senior Sagasta When the polls were open
ed therefore the Sagasta program was
promptly put through.
Here, as Mr.. Pepper points out, we have
a sample of what may be expected II the
elections advertised for next month for the
choosing of local congress under the So
called autonomist government take place.
They too will be a farce. SPANS armed
force in the island will dictate the returns.
No fair representative expression or
opinion by the people will be possible. The
sole question will relate to what is desired
at Madrid, and whatever that may be will
be ordered and secured at the polls
If Spain really meditated the establish
ment of a genuinely autonomous govern
ment in Cuba she could not make sue
cess Of it in the circumstances that exist
in the island. Autonomy is repugnant to
militarism. While Cuba remains an armed
camp free expression of opinion any
subject will be impossible. The people will
not be permitted to choose their own rep
resentatives, but if they vote at all will
merely go through with an empty form
and put lot of dummies into office to be
manipulated from Madrid.
And yet Spain would have the world be-
lieve that it is the presence of the Ameri-
fleet off the Florida coast which mill
tates against the success Of autonomy
The people of Cuba, as she contends, are
pleased with her proffer of home rule and
would be happy to accept it and put it at
cree into effective operation if the Amer
lean fleet did not suggest the idea of armed
Intervention on the part of the United
States. But We know and the Cubans know
that Spanish guns in Cuba and the record
of Spanish perfidy, and the humbug nature
OF the present proposals, explain the whole
flasco of the Sagasta policy.

An Excellent Example.

One of the national banks of New York
has announced that in the event of such
disturbances as will require the service of
the national guard on duty the salaries of
certain employees who are members of the
militia will not be stopped. but will be paid
as usual during their absence for such a
reason. This policy, if generally adopted.
is calculated to strengthen the forces of
the government materially. In case of
w4r or riot the banks and similar institu-
tons would be among the first to need pro
lection, and 1t is fitting that good an
example OF public spirit should be shown
III this manner. The militia force is the
country's nrst line of reserves. 1t is the
substantial backing behind the merely
skeleton organization of a standing army.
The hundred thousand men or so compos-
ing the governnlent-aided militia COM
panies in the various states would, in time
of war. become immensely valuable by
reason of their training in the use of arms.
The business interests have in most cases
adjusted themselves to the proper theory
with regard to this force. the men have
been encouraged to enter the ranks of the
citlZen-sodiery, their membership has not
been made to involve them in losses
hardships aside from those directly result
ing from actual participation in active
service. There should be minimum of
sacrifice involved in the enlistment of
young man in the guard. 1t may be that
many men who would form admirable
guardsInen are deferred from joining be-
cause of the fear that their families may
suffer from failure of income when they
are obliged to attend developments or to
go forward for the stern duties of war
The reliance of the business community
upon this force is unmistakabIe 1t can
not be forgotten that in Very many cases
the prompt presence of guardsmen in time
of threatened trouble between the authori-
ties and rioters has resulted in a pacific
outcome. Millions of dollars in property
Na!ies nave doubtless been saved in this
Kramer The debt of the commercial
world to the militia is too heavy to be
quickly estimated, and the proposition of
the New York bank is in the line of paving
at least the interest on this indebte dne,s

The Hull bill for the better organization
OF the army of the United States should
receive prompt consideration by Congress
FOR many years there has been unanimous
opinion at the War Department and among
those Americans interested in army condi-
ions adverse to the inf1exible and ancient
organization OF our infantry. During the
war OF tie rebellion the fighting lines We're
OF the shoulder to shoulder variety be-
Cause the character Of the weapons en-
pioSed permitted such formation. Today
commanding officer would be guilty of
murder If he sent his men into battle after
the fashion which was well enough thirty
hVe years ago. when the muzzle-loadins,
smooth-bore musket was about the most
dangerous thing soldier was called upon
to face To kill a man at five hundred
yards with one of those old smooth bores
Was practically impossible. and not even
the most expert riheman could fire more
than three shots in two minutes. The MILL
tary rifle of today has an effective range
OF mora than two thousand yards, and 1t
may be fired as often as fifteen times in a.
minute
In Senate report made during the first
session OF the Fifty-second Congress, the
argument for the liberalization organiza-
ton Is most comprehensive. and should
have been completely convincing. In one
OF its paragraphs it says:
In the same tactical formation probably
fifteen men would be killed where one was
