ter to submarine boats, so far as their
use in warfare is concerned. As he has
experimental long and patiently with
them his opinion must be esteemed as
that of an expert. One great obstacle
to success, he says, is their short radI-
us of action, and this is true of our
own Holland boat as well as of the Gus
tave Zede, of which the French lately
boosted so jubilantly. In order to IN
crease the radius of action, the vessel
must be materially enlarged in order
to provide for coal space. Enlarge
ment, however, would be attended with
additional danger because the extreme
ly small reserve of buoyancy makes II
possible for a small leak to send the
ship and crew to the bottom. The
danger is all the more evident when
Mr. Nordenfeldt says it is practically

poses of warfare-being hard to see
and hard to hit-a vessel that is just
awash would be as effective as if COM

the vessel must possess good speed
and liberal radius of action, qualities
that are not found in existing types.
1t would appear, therefore, that vessels
of this kind must be designed upon en-
tirely new lines if they would be OF

CUBAN ANNEXATION,

Like Postmaster General Smith, Sec
rotary Alger has returned from Cuba
with a firm conviction that annexation
is the sole salvation of the island, and
the sooner it is effected the better for
all concerned. The same gentlemen
are authority for the statement that
this is also the conviction of the better
elements of the Cuban people them
selves. and that in due time it will be
made evident to the world.
There are few who doubt that annex
alton is the destiny of Cuba, but some
are disposed to say these cabinet off
GERS have been thinking too fast. Yet
annexation may come about more
quickly than was once supposed, and
that. too, in a peaceable and natural
way The improvement in Cuban af-
fairs already accomplished through
the American administration intensifies
the demand for a government of guar
anteed stability and efficiency and this
demand, of course, receives its most
emphatic expression from the CONNER
cial interests. The latter are becom-
ing more and more distinctly American
in character, by reason of the rapid in
crease of investments, and to that eX-
tent could logically be counted on to ia
vor annexation anyway. But so far
as good government is an advantage
to business, it is to be desired by all,
whether Americans or Cubans, and
there has never been any pretense that
the commercial classes in the island
We're enthusiastic advocates of an indie
pendent native government. The ex
pectation that local sentiment in favor
of annexation will grow seems entirely
reasonable.
In the nature of things, no limitation
has been put upon the period of Amer
lean occupation, and in the three
months and half that have elapsed
since the Spanish evacuation, scarcely
more than beginning has been made
in the work laid out for us. Matters
have proceeded with remarkable
smoothness however, and the disband-
ment of the Cuban army as well as GER

make trouble for us, seems to have
been disposed of decisively. There are
important problems ahead, such as
public education and the disposition of
church property, but the success of the
past augurs well for the future. One
of the most essential things to be done
is the taking of the census, but that
has in a measure been determined
upon. When this work is completed,
there will be opportunity to test the
popular will by a plebiscite, if the time
should then seem propitious. But be-
fore such a measure as this can be
adopted, there is the whole framework
of a stable government to be erected
and when Cuba has so far progressed
as to be capable of sustaining a gov
eminent of its own, the island is likely
to have become so far Americanized
as to make annexation certain.

FINE FERTILE COUNTRY.
Rev. FIR Doherty Likes the Philippines
Much Better Than Their People.

Father Francis Doherty, in an inter-
view with a Spy man after his lecture
in Mechanics hall last evening, gave
glowing description Of the capital OK
the island of Luzon and the surround
ing regions.
He told of the first expedition to the
Philippines, under the command OF
Brig. Gen. Thomas M. Anderson that
sailed from San Francisco on the 10Th
of May and arrived at Manila on the
30th of June. He attributed much OIL
the sickness that gained ground so rap
idly at first to lack of proper hospital
accommodations. This is not the case
now, as the soldiers in both the Volun-
teer and regular regiments are recelV-
ing every attention, and the prevailing
diseases are being properly treated.
He was enthusiastic over the work
of the Jesuits and laid great stress upon
their work in the islands
At Ermita is the world-famOus Jesuit
observatory and normal school, IN
charge of Padre Algue and Father
Doyle, formerly of Washington, d. e.
Father Doyle told Father Doherty with
characteristic Irish wit, that he came
to Ermita to be born.
In the vicinity of the observatory the
rumbling in the bowels of the earth
can be distinctly heard, and the vlbra-
ton felt to an unpleasant degree. 1t IS
said that there are more earthquakes
in Luzon to the square inch than any
other place in the world.
He spoke of the instruments for
measuring the subterrahean vibrations.
and also of the methods pursued by
which the Jesuits are enabled to pro-
phesy the coming of typhoOns and or
ieEtal cyclones. 1t is owing to the eff
forts of the Jesuit fathers in this direc-
ton that the China sea is navigable
The country adjacent to Manila is
extremely fertile and is intersected by
small canals. There are three seasons,
the wet, dry and cool.
The rainy weather continues from
June to the last of October, followed by
clear, cool days that last until March.
During April and May the heat is in
tense. The vegetation is rankly luXuri-
ant. Fields of paddy cover great
stretches of land. Nipsa palm1 are
found everywhere, and furnish food,
clothing and shelter to the natives. The
fruit of this palm is often used as a
preserve, and the inhabitants make a
strong liquid from pulp, which they
drink excessively.
Leprosy in its most terrible form pre-
walls in certain districts.
The order of franciscan friars are
doing what they can for these miserable
creatures, though in the past they have
received little support from the Spanish
government.
Father Doherty, commenting on the
aid given the Spaniards on the battle
field by the Sisters of Charity, deplored
the fact that there were none of the
order with our soldiers. They were
wi H., I,
pital at De Dios.
There are four Catholic chaplains
now with our troops in the Philippines.

COLLECTION OF ASHES.

Particular attention is called, this
morning, to an article on the first page
of The Spy, relating to the collection
of ashes and household refuse by the
city. The statistics submitted by the
Fall River Lowell and Cambridge Off
cials regarding the cost of collection in
their respective cities, make instructive
reading for the tax payers of Worces-
ter. Every owner Of real estate and
a majority of tenants will be quick to
recognize the economy of the reform
which The Spy urges. It is absurd that
city of 10000 inhabitants should
impose upon individual citizens the col
lection and disposal of ashes, as is the
common custom in small villages and
country towns. 1t is a safe assertion
that ninety-nine out of every hundred
men of whom the question might be
asked. would answer instantly that the
city should undertake this task. The
Spy's article shows cOnclusively how
inexpensive it would be.
