STATION NEEDED.
Naval omciais Loo,ing Around For One
In the West Indies-TOitugas
Not Available.


WASHINGTON, March 23.-Scrious at
tention is being given by the R,vy de-
partment officials to the question of tho
acquisition of suitable location for q
coaling station somewhere in thu West
Indies. Steps have been taken already
to establish such station at the Dry
Tortugas, but this, it is said, is the only
deep water harbor available for big war
vessels between Hampton Roads and
the Rio Grande. Besides, it is practi-
cally unprotected at present and a feet
would have TO be stationed there to pro-
tect the coal stored, which is unsatis-
factory. The officials, therefore, have
been casting about for location, which
would serve the purposes of coaling
station and which the United States
might acquire either by purchase or
cession from one of the friendly gov
ernments.
There are q number OF fine harbors
among the West Indies, SAID a naval
officer, and in one of these we ought to
have coaling station. Secretary Long
is considering the matter and it is proba.
bic that If the government can make
the necessary arrangements station
will be secured. The importance of Sc
curing one, the officials point out, is
very great, as in the event of hostili.
ties our ships might be put to very great
inconvenience and delay in filling theil
bunkers when their presence might bC
needed to protect critical points.

Conference Regarding Tortugas Held at
War Department.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-An import
ant conference has been held in the
Office Of the secretary of war in regard
to the fertilization of Tortugas harbor.
There were present Secretary Alger,
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of the
navy department, General Miles, Gen
eral Wilson, chief of engineers, and
Colonel Henry M. Robert, corps of en-
gineers.
The engineer officers who have been
investigating the matter estimate that
it will cost about 81 l,000,000 and take
nearly two years to put the island in a
proper state of defense from sea attack,
and Secretary Alger and his associates
hesitate to embark on an undertaking
Of that extent unless the navy depart
ment considers the work absolutely
necessary. Assistant Secretary Roose-
welt, representing Secretary Long, was
not prepared to assume the RESPONSE
bility without further investigation, so
action was postponed.

New YORK, March 22.-In his ad-

Spain responsible. Meanwhile, Cuba
would learn how to govern herself.

One Found That VIII BE Useful as Re.
pair Vessel.
New YORK, March 23.-Lieutenant
Kelly of the board for the inspection Of
auxiliary cruisers says that the Morgan
line steamer Chalmett has been decided
upon as repair ship in case she should
be required.
1t is the purpose Of the board to ex-
anime into the adaptation for naval de.
fense purposes of all steamers plying
between New York and southern ports.
The special reason for this, it was
learned, is that in case Of war these
steamers would have to abandon trad
ing, at least during the period of hostili-
ties in southern waters. In that case
they would have to lay up, and the
naval officers deem it prudent to have
them ready for equipment as auxiliar-
les should their services be needed.
The board examined the Jamestown
and the Yorktown of the Old Dominion
line of steamships, the steamship Con-
cha Of the Mallory line and the FL Sud
of the Morgan line.

No progress is ever accomplished without the most persistent effcrt and enduring patience, as there is no royal road to learning, neither is the path way to success nickel plated. This is an age of machinery, and improvement is the order of it.
 In no department does civilization advance more rapidly than in journal ism. Simple though a newspaper may appear, yet at the close Of the nine- tenth century it is utterly impossible for newspaper to meet the de- mands of the public without the assist ance Of the mightiest forces ever haT- messed by man and the most complex mechanism ever conjured by human ingenuity.
 The AriZcna Republican was the first newspaper in Arizona to fully realize the inexora ble truthfulness of the fore going conditions, although other pa pers as far back al a year ago claimed to have been as completely equipped as The Republican, y5t they were mis- taken and the owner of The Rpubli- can knew it. But it was not sufficient tc know that this journal was better equipped with machinery and support ed by superior and higher priced re- pOrters and editors: fer new fields were waiting for a journalistic har vesting.
