There can he little doubt that the cap
ture of Havana by an American army
acting in combination with an American
fleet is comparatively easy task from a
military point of view. Descriptions have
already been printed of the weakness OF
the old-style Notifications of that seaport
and of its ill placed batteries. If, accord
ing to modern military science, the de-
fence is more formidable than the attack,
this rule is not applicable to Havana. AS
q military factor Havana belongs still to
the eighteenth century. In 1852 she could
oppose gallant resistance to Lord Abe
marle's wooden vessels and his 1000 Eng
lish troops. In 1898 she has no resources
to resist an American squadron OF battle
ships. monitors and cruisers and an army
of 100, 900 American soldiers
But other very important reasons exist
for believing that Havana will quickly
surrender in the war. Now, as in an

The best service citizens Of Portland
can render their city at this juncture
is to keep cool and attend to bust
engineer officers of long experience to take
charge Of the defences of Portland. They
are doing so quietly and effectively.
The danger of Portland's being attacked
is very slight. butt an attack should
occur there can be DO question but the
city will be we'll defended. The United
States officers are better acquainted with
the needs of the situation than any body
else can be. When the time comes that
they need assistance from citizens they
will without doubt promptly ask for it
and it will be promptly rendered. They
have energetioally though quietly
MAIDS preparations to meet any
emergency that is within the
range of even remote probability. ..The
thing to do is to trust them implicitly
in this business, just as we trust our
fire departments to attend to fires or our
police department to quiet disturbances.
We could render them No effective assis-
lance il we should try to, but by contin-
ually fussing with their business and
suggesting this thing and that we may
help keep the public excitement up to
the highest pitch. needlessly and useless
ly brighten great many timid people,
paralyze business and do many other
things that are hurtful. 1t is gratifying
to see that thesMayor shows nc. signs of
losing his head and refuses to give en-
enlargement to movements, which, how
ever well meant they may be, are calcu-
lated to do more harm than good by slim
ulating the fears of the timid and increas-
ing public anxiety without adding any
thing of value to our means of defence
in the remote contingency of an attack.

The revenue bill contains provision
for the issue of bonds not exceeding in
amount $500, 900, 900. These bonds are to
bear per cent interest and to be payable
in ''coin" like all our bonds heretofore
issued. They are to be offered to the pub
lic in the first instance in denominations
as low as $50. There is said to be some
doubt among fnanciers of the abil-
ity of the government to float
SO large. a loan at SO low rate at
par. though 500. 100000 Of the amount
can no doubt be readily disposed of to
the people at that figure. A strictly gold
bond would probably command better
price, but such d bond cou Id not be is-
sued without protest on the part of the
silver men and a squsbble in conse-
quence.

Senior Polo, who is now located at To-
ronto, is giving vent to his feelings by
attacking this country in interviews
with newspapers. If he had received the
kind of treatment that Minister Wood
ford met with he would have good reason
to dislike us, but he was treated politely
and with distinguished consideration
from the day he set foot in Washington
until he crossed the Canadian frontier.
Most of his reflections, however, are for
homo consumption probably to show that
he is full of patriotism.

The people need not get worried at the
newspaper stories that this nation or that
will help Spain in war with the United
States. 1t is probably true that most Of
the official classes of the continental ma
tons syInpathize with Spain, largely for
the reason that they are somewhat jeal-
GUS of our growing power and influences,
but no government of Europe will give
any material aid to Spain in this contest,
unless we should wantonly attack their
interests. Self interest and not senti-
ment generally decides the policy of ma
tions. and no European nation could
promote it's own interests by attacking us
quite the reverse.

In her decree promulgated OIL Sunday
Spain expresses the intention to observe
all the principal articles of the Treaty of
Paris except that relating to priyateer-
ing, and in regard to this she makes a
reservation leaving it to future decision
whether she will resort to privateering.
The announcement that she will treat
foreign priyateers as pirates, means sim
ply that she will SO treat vessels not be-
longing to the United States that en-

Albany which we recently purchased in

and the neutrality law of England will
prevent work proceeding upon her.
