CHANCES IN MEXICo.

Mr.. r. G. Henry, we'll known in
Colorado and Kansas as largo
financial operator, il now living ~
Mexico. Inst week he was IN Den
yer, and, in nh interview, spoke ns
follows about the financial oppor
tunites in Mexico;
II have in my mind now one
tract Of land comprising l62,OOo
acres, that is moro favorably To-
Gated than most OF the land lying
west Of tho Missouri. 1t lies on
the Coatzacoaces River, about 40
miles from tho bay OF that name,
that ia now virgin forest, but can
be made AZ productive as any Ian |
in tho world. Oranges grow wild,
the rnhher tree is found in the for
est, and all Of the higher grades of
timber, mahogany, rosewood, lig-
nun vitae, etc, are found in pro-
fusion. In six or seven years from
the clearing of the forest one could
have an orange grove in full bear
ing, a pineapple or banana planla.
tion, or grove OF rubber trees,
300 to the acre, each tree produce
ing from one to two pounds of
crude rubber, worth vi 10 gold per
pound, at total cost Of not moro
than 500 per acre, with an assured
income of from 5000 to 800 per
annum per acre for lifetime.
And this il on y one instance.
They might be multiplied indeh-
nltely, No irrigation IL necessary;
the products OF the soil can be taxi
on to New York at n cost of not to
exceed % cents per 100 pounds.
Contrast thus opportunity with the
situation in California. There an
orange grove cannot be brought IN
To production for less than vi ,OOO
an acre; it costs $50 an acre per
year to irrigAte the land perpe-
tual water right il worth $1,000
per miners inch, wild land costs
from $500 to $500 per acre, and
the cost Of transportation to mar
ket consumes about so per cent of
the gross proceeds. This is by no
means overdrawn. Take the mat
ter OF iubbe, alone, for which there
is constant and increaelng de-
mand. At six years of age tho
tree produces the rubber OF com
merce and while 1t is growing tho
ground can be cultivated To cane
or fruits that will Of themselves
pay profit Then the tree goes
on producing from one to three
pounds ui crude rubber pei year al
at total cost for collecting OF not to
exceed five cents pound. L
il ight enumeratc scores OF other
things equally attractive that fully
explain my action in taking up my
residence in Mexico. There are no
such opportunities in The United
States, and 40 Tar as know there
are 10 better opportunities in the
world"

The more one hears of the condi- tion of the other West Indies, the more the Spanish government would appear to be wise in selling Cuba The impoverishment of the islands, even of Hayti, has now reached such a de- gree that the governments are at their wits end to discover means of ob- taining sufficient revenues. The Brit ish West Indies are threatened with financial ruin, in spite of the facilities which they enjoy in the way of Eng fish trade. All the products raised on the agricultural lands in the case of each separate island have greatly di- unfinished in price, and it would seem as if the Cuban tobacco crop is the only yield which offers prosperity to farmers on the former scale.

THE SPANISH IDEA.

A young Spanish officer stationed in Havana recently remarked that in the event of war Spain would land it's troops at Key West and march due northeast, in a week reaching Wash 1ngton, where the president and his cabinet would be captured unless they lied. Some one ought to send that young fellow a map of the Flor Ida coast. He might then dis cover that march from Rev West to the mainland would be novel feature in warfare. Some professional swimming would be nec- essary. If war does come and Spain wants to land it's soldiers in the Unit
 ed States no obstacle will be put in their way. Many years ago an old German officer was asked if he couId land half a million of men in Great Britain. He replied that he could. but they would probably never get Out of the country again. Spain might land thousands of her soldiers on our soil but that would be the last of them They would be arrested as tresnassers and locked up. If the Spaniards want to try the experiment of marching on Washington they would better land further up the coast than Key West.

NO PARTISANSHIP.

The American who toasted Consul General Lee at Havana the other night as a future vice president of the Unit ed States doubtless thought he was do- ing very complimentary thing, but it would have been just as we'll to omit any political allusion at such a time. Gen. Lee is a public servant of the United States, doing his duty as well and patriotically as he can, without regard for his personal political fu- ture. The president of the United States is actuated by high and imper- sonal motives in the present crisis. If Lee gets a vice presidential or presi
 dential nomination from the democ- racy as reward for his courageous activity at Havana, well and good. and If MT. Mckinley comments himself sufficiently to the republicans to se- cure renomination to his present of- ice, all right. But those are matters

THE NEED OF A STRONG NAVY

Uncle Sam has been caught mapping
 over his navy, as it has long been pre- dicted would be the case For several
 weeks he has been trying in vain to buy torpedo boat destroyers It is
 impossible to get any, and he must
 wait to build them before he can add
 to his navy any of these boats, of
 which it is badly in need. The tor
 pedo boat destroyer is regarded as one
 of the most effective of modern fight
 ing machines, yet our navy has but
 three of these boats while Spain has
 seventeen. If we have no war with
 Spain the war scare will do much good
 in demonstrating the necessity of be-
 ing prepared for a conflict. If we were to have war now with England,
 Russia or France what would we do against either of them in sea fighting?
 Practically nothing. With Germany or Italy we would have a hard time to
 hold our own on the sea, for each of those powers has a navy superior to
 ours. When our battleships now in course of construction are finished
 there vii lnot be much disparity as to
 that type of war ship, but the navy of each is much stronger in armored crui- sers than ours, and each has eighteen torpedo boat destroyers to our three.
 Even when it comes to a fourth rate power like Spain, although our navy is superior to hers in most respects
 we find that she has seventeen destroy CTS, nearly six times as many as we. It behooves us to change this condi- tion of affairs in our navy. Although we have not the need of warships which England has, we should at least have enough to uphold our cause in case we were suddenly brought into a conflict with one of the great powers. The prospect of war now before the nation has, without doubt, convinced the American people of the short of the policy they have pursued in regard to their navy and will result in changing it. Therefore. | though we have no war, the agitation over it's prospect will be beneficial and will lead us to take measures to be prepared for war when it comes.

FORT WHIPPLE.

The news from Washington that an order has been issued for the abandon ment of Fort Whipple will cause much regret in Arizona. The order is in di- rect conflict with the views of promi- nent army officers and others who are familiar with conditions in the south west. There is no post in Arizona or New Mexico so advantageously located as Whipple. It is the only post in the territory possessing railroad facilities, and in the event of a distur bance any where within striking distance of the railroad between Los Angeles and AL buquerque or southeastern Ari- zona troops from Whipple could be hurried to the danger point The law giving territorial cities the right to issue bonds for the construction of water works and sewerage systems was designed largely to overcome the only reasonable objection to the re- tent1on of the post. It is unfortunate that General Miles has steadily favored the abandonment of Fort Whipple, and that the secretary of war has not given heed to the strong arguments in op- position to General Miless position. We hope that the order removing the troops will be only temporary, and that the post may be renovated and re- very soon.

The report of the court of inquiry. to the effect that the explosion that destroyed the Maine was of external origin, had been anticipated in The Republicans press dispatches.
