THE BEAUTY
OF ILOILO.
The Centre Of the Philippines, 1t
Has Many Natural
Advantages.

Just as Admiral Dewey was preparing
to come homeland he may come in spite
OF everything-the trouble in Iloilo broke
out.
The situation shows the United States
trying to govern the Philippines, with a
mighty mass of natives determined TO
resist American rule.
Admiral Dewey has taken the ag--
gressiye, he hopes. for the last time, and
ne will only reply to the shots that are
fired. At best he hopes to compromise
with the Fflipinos and gain Iloilo without
trouble. At the worst he must subdue
them, but he hopes to accomplish this by
p asuasion and outnumbering.
lloilo is one of the fifteen large ISL
ands Of the Philippine group. It lies in
the Mindoro Sea and Is south of the
south Of Manila and forms the centre Of
the Philippine Islands. A short distance
away is Negros, and southeast of it IS
Min4danao To the west is Palawan- and
are also part Of the group of which Iloilo
IS the centre.
In centreing at Iloilo the Filipinos
chose wisely. for if the island is granted
it. by any means, they will have one
OF the most valuable portions of the
Philippine group. Iloilo is particularly
adapted to the raising OF sugar and to-
great delicacy. The island has never been
in more prosperous condition than now,
and a large fortune can be taken annu-
ally out of it's well cultivated soil
If Iloilo is particularly we'll stu
ated for self-government, it is also very
poorly located for attack. Dewey coming
down to 1t from Manila could reach it
on two sides. and by sending a cruiser
mand it from the south. He could com
pletely surround it, for Iloilo has no nat

submarine boat Argonaut. And as this
craft-after repeated eXperiments-haS
proven to have solved perfectly the cues
ton of submarine navigation, the plan
seems &c carry with it all the elements OF
success.
THE BRICE SCHEME.
The first scheme is one lately pro-
posed to Captain S. NJ Brice. the son of
the late ex-senator Brice. of Ohio, by
Moore, a Philadelphia diver, whose plan

Vera's squadron for the large sums of
money which he believed would be found

Moore's reasons for suggesting such a
scheme was prompted by the informant ton,

In an engagement the torpedo boat
expects to fire only once. It's aim is to
approach the cruiser at full speed, get

and gets ready to retreat; but unless

4 BUTTERFLY FLEET.

Swimming the Ocean Waves.

The success OF Captain Wainwrights
gloucester in the late war showed to
the Government the advisa bility of build
Ing large number of torpedo boats to
be used in case of another unpleasant
ness. 1t Is very doubtful if any nation
will care to go to war with the United
States very soon, but the Government
finds the building Of a navy such pleasant
work that it will continue to build boats
until we have a navy which is the
largest that sails the seas; and this is
precisely as it should be.
With its great extent of sea coast,
which is greater than that of any other
country, the United States certainly needs
a big navy; and not only one that is COM
posed of cruisers. but of smaller boats
