Admiral Cervera made his disastrous sortie
on July 8, the battleship Iowa and its crew
would have gone to destruction in the har-
Dor. Captain Evans told the story to a
friend while travelling recently from Gin

'Only luck prevented the destruction of
the Iowa" said the captain. The day after
the storming of FL Caney General Shafter
made an appeal to the department at Wash
ington for help on the part Of the fleet. lie
desired that the fleet enter the harbor and
create a disturbance, thus diverting the at
tention and preventing further slaughter of
the Americans when the city was taken,
Orders were sent that a battleship enter the
harbor and a consultation was held. 1t was
decided that the lows should enter the har-
Dor the morning of July A."
Captain Evans told the officials that If
they told him to go, of course he would go,
but it meant the destruction of the Iowa
and every man aboard.

GIN AND CIVILIZATION.
How the Former Follows the Flag of

TIC illustrate what is apt to happen under
Anglo-SaXon control, let us glance at the
dimensions of the trade in gin as conducted
under the auspices of the British Royal
Niger company. This Christian corporation
operates in the West African dependencies
of Lagos, Sierra Leone, the Niger coast
protectorate, etc. In 1898 one-ffth of the
total import trade into that region rep
resented gin. During 1897 nearly 100, 900
cases, or about 2,227 tons, Of gin were ex-
ported to the West African country. In
1898, the traffic from the two ports OF Rot
terdam and Hamburg, under the auspices
of the British Royal Niger company,
amounted to some 124, 500 cases, or 3,207
tons of gin. And 1t is reported by the Rot
terdam correspondent of a London news
paper that at the present rate of shipment
the exports OF 1899 will surpass those of the
two previous years, In January and
February about As 900 cases of gin were
shipped from Rotterdam and Hamburg for
the benefit of the natives of tropical West
Africa, in the name of philanthropy and
for the cause of civilization.
OF course, the 3,2O7 tons of gin sent to
West Africa in 1898 was not intended solely
for consumption by the few white men who
live in that region. White men would not
drink the vile stuff sent out. The traders
exchange 1t for goods which the natives
produce, and then the natives get gloriously
drunk, which is another triumph for Anglo
Saxon civilization.
Are the Americans any better than the
English in this respect? What of New
England's exports of rum to the Congo?
What is our record as to whisky in
aboriginal America? The English-speak-
ing race is one of the most intern
perate in the world and it has al
ways introduced its greatest vice among
the inferior" races it has conquered or
come in contact with. And the dissemina-
ton of that vice among tropical peoples
goes far to counteract all good influences
among them and finally to destroy what
virtue originally characterized their indie
pendent status. The Fllipinos, for eX-
ample, are now famous for their abstinence
from strong drink. They look with horror
and contempt upon intoXication. The same
is true, although in a less degree, of the
Cubans and Porto Ricans, for excessive
linking OF intoXicants Is not a national
vice OF spanlards. The Americans cannot
improve upon the civilization the Spaniards
have left behind them in this respect, yet
there Is the greatest danger that American
whisky and gin will flow in a steady stream
TO these new possessions, carrying de-
moralization and ruin to the native
character before the boosted advantages Of
our rule can render them Immune from our
great national vice.

Among the unexpected things that we have
come to export TO a very gratifying extent
is coal. According to the latest report Of the
bureau of statistics the total amount of coal
exported from the United States for the
seven months ending January / last was
2,916,077 tons, valued at So, .S17. OF this
956, 252 tons We're anthracite and 1853, S24
tons bituminous. In January of this year
there were exported 351, 739 tons, valued at
1888, 07O. In January, 1898, there were eX-
ported 1913, 2S3 tons, valued at $S19,S92, show
ing what we may yet expect in this line.
Our resources in the way of bituminous coal
are limitless. We exported last year TO
nearly all the South American states, to all
parts of Europe and even to Asia and Ocean
lea. Recently we have performed the as
tonishing feat of sending Goals to Newcastle

sTRENGTHENlyG THE FIRE FDBC


That hindsight is always better than
foresight is again illustrated by the
action of the Commercial club protest
ing against the reduction of the fire
force and urging the council to devise
ways and means to restore it to its
former strength before the reduced tax
levy. The Bee would be the last to do
anything to cripple the fire department
or increase the fire risks which mer-
chants and property owners must bear,
but it cannot help calling attention to
the fact that the members of the Com
mercial club now crying out against
this forced retrenchment either sat
a lower tax rate while the council was
making II tax levy requiring contrac-
ton of the municipal service in all di-
rectiOns.
While the fire department is one of the
most useful branches of the city gov
eminent, there is no good reason, now
that the city's resources are limited. it
should be exempted AT the cost of the
other departments from reduction CORE
spending to the reduction in the fund
available for that purpose. The fire
fund cannot be restored by the council
at this time except by taking the money
away from other branches already
equally crippled.
If the business men who have joined
in the Commercial club protest, how
ever. mean what they say, there is Il
way in which they can accomplish the
object by going down into their own
pockets and raising by subscription the
additional money necessary to maintain
the department at its former strength.
The best way to apportion this would
probably be in the ratio of the insur-
ance carried by the different business
concerns. This contribution would be
