During the week now closing the news
papers have been ful of accounts of ap-
paling marine disasters. The number or
persons who found death in or upon the
waters was not short of AGO, and If minor
casualties were taken into account the
number would probably be sweled TO con-
siderably more than that. The greatest
disaster, of course, was that OF the Name
in which approximately $50 lives were LOST
Next in order was the wreck of the French
steamer Flachat, with the loss of nearly
100 souls and then there was the destruc-
ton of the steamer Clara Nevada, with
fifty victims. This latter disaster did not
occur during this week. to be sure, but
the authentic reports of it reached this
country during the week, and were print
ed in the papers along with information
of the disasters TO the Maine and the Fla
chat.

THE INDIAN FRONTIER CAMPAIGN.
Alarming Inemciency or the british Troops
and Ominoun strength OF the NntIyea.

The general tone of the OF the
Anglo Indian press on the results of the cam
paign against the Afridis, now concluded, 10
that it might have ended very much worse than
it has. There Is no attempt to deny the unusual
lack of ''go." to phrase it mildly, displayed by
tho British troops engaged. and the incapacity
OF the staff officers is declared largely respon-
sIble for the heavy losses sustained. While
there may be some truth in the accusations
brought against these latter, 1t is probably ex-
aggcratcd. The officers composing IL are
brought up md trained in tho school of the
Krfeysspicl. where everything Oh both sides is
calculated according to definite rules, and they
are set TO work without the necessary experience
to arrange and carry out details of "A campaign
against an enemy whose war rules are
bnsed on first principles, and who is unhnm-
percd by tho membranes necessary to n civ
ilized invading army. with tho additional nd
vantage of lighting ON ground with which they
are familiar. For tho defects of the British
troops the public has long been prepared by re-
ports published from time to timc, and they are
the grayest symptoms yct exhibited OF tho de.
cline OF the fighting qualities of tho British
soldier. The subject Is a serious ono for the
English Government. for II is now made plain
that an empire cannot be sustained by an army
recruited from the sums, deficient in physical
strength, and unequal to the fatigue and hard
ships It Is liable 10 he called upon 10 endure.
What makes the matter so much moro serious
In the present instance Is that the restige Of
tho British Army Is lowered in the eyes of the
native army in India, whose choicest regiments
have witnessed with their own eyes British
troops hinching in the attack and exhibiting
undue haste in retreat. The whole fabric OF
British rulo in India has hitherto been based on
the belief that the courage OF the British soldier
was unsurpassed, his power OF endurance un-
equalled; ana that the administration he sup
ported with hi, arms was Just aud ben ,iicrnt.
Re ent events have rudely shaken those beliefs,
and il will require saEaCity ON tho y ,rt or Lord
SaliBhury's Government to reestnhiish them.
Native Indian papers 10 not hesitate TO point
out, in "a roundabout way, to the native army
the opportunity offered by tho inriilciuncy o,
the British troops. and appear likely 10 br'nS
upon themselves the heavy hand o. the law of
sedition that has already made itself felt among
offending Indian editors.
In the meantime the brigades that have been
operating In the mountains between the frontier

ganlZed at Peshawur for q renewal of opera
tions IN tho early spring. The regiments that
have been dccimHtcd by disease and the bullets
