If there was one lesson that was taught
by the war with Spain, it was the value OF
a navy, and the United States government
has not been slow to take advantage OF
the knowledge that ii obtained by this eX-
perience in actual warfare. Lord Brassey,
in his review of the late unpleasantness,
emphasized the fact that all the United
States needed was more good ships to have
an ideal navy, for no question could be
raised as to the ability of the men engaged
in her sea service.
The officers of the Spanish navy had been
taught to look upon their duties as chiefly
of social character. They smoked their
cigarettes, drank their wine and made
themselves agreeable to the ladies with
whom they came in contact, but when they
came to actual service they were woefully
deficient, even IL their conduct was not
open to the charge of utter incompetency.
They were brave, but they were not, and
never had been, fighting men, and the de-
struction of their fleets by the able Of
fieers and seamen of the American navy
was only the natural result of their lack
of training
Even with good men, however, a navy
without good ships would be badly handi-
capped, and the navy of the United States
had too few good vessels of this character.
There is no man who is better able to pick
flaws in naval work than Lord Brassey,
and this was his opinion of the sea forces
of the United States.
Although he was one of the first persons
of note to express this opinion, the fact
that our navy was not in condition to
cope with powerful and well-drilled force
had long been known to the naval author
tiles of this country, but the trouble had
been to persuade congress to make the ap-
preparation necessary to carry out the plans
that had been devised.
When the war came, however, economy
in this particular branch of the service
was no longer possible. and when the war
had ended the people had learned such
lesson that they were willing to spend mon
ey in the improvement of their armored
vessels. They had learned that great bat
ties are often fought on the sea, and that
to win these battles good men are not all
that is needed Good ships must be pro-
vded and they are now working to pro-
vide these ships just as quickly as possible
Chief Constructor Hichborn, in his last
report, presented a few weeks ago, gave
most encouraging account of the manner In
which his work is being carried out. He
explained that the Kearsarge had advanced
80 per cent. towards completion, the Ken
lucky 90 per cent and the Illinois 6S per
cent. The Alabama is So per cent finished,
and the new Maine per cent The Wiscon-
sin stands at 70 per cent, the Ohio at II
per cent, and the sheathed cruiser Albany,
which is being built in England at so per
cent. The monitors are set down at from
8 to IL per cent, and the torpedo boats
vary from 81 per cent, in the case of the
Dahlgren to almost no per cent. The train
ing ship, Chesapeake, is placed at 9S per
cent, and the submarine boat Plunger at
IS per cent.

ing the progress of this new navy with

WILL OCCUPY THE PHILIPPINES

ships aud Men to Visit all the P"ria.
Washington. u. c.. Feb. 1s.-The ad-
ministration has determined rapidly to
extend the Jurisdiction OF the United
States over the Philippine group in Its
entirety.
The government is acting on the
theory that delay in this case is dang
erous and that anarchy and general
paralysis of such interests ms the Is
lands support will be brought about
through failure promptly to replace
the Spanish sovereignty over the Is
lands by that of the United States.
This decision Involves the necessity
of novel campaign and this will be
instituted as soon as Admiral Dewey
receives the reinforcements in the
shape OF gunboatS now ON the way to
Manila.
1t is not anticipated that there will
be q necessity for any formidable
demonstrations, but the fact that the
United States government is able to
exhibit a sufficient force to accomplish
the purpose of occupation is expected
to deter the natives from proiitless re-
sistance.
Owing 10 rhe vast number of the
Philippine islands large number of
gunboats would be required to visit
them simultaneously, so the program
will be to have the vessels visit In or
der the principal towns outside OF Ma
Mia. especially those where Spanish
garrisons Were maintained on the is
lands OF Cebu and Iamboango on the
island of Mindanao and some OF the
cities on Negros.
The naval vessels probably VIII be
accompanied by some troops on trans
ports and the soldiers will be landed
where necessary to hoist the United
States flag and take possession form
ally of the ports. II Is understood thas
there Will be no attempt made at the
time to displace any of the existing
municipal governments except where
they prove refractory and offer resist
ance. In fact policy of conciliatlon
will be followed at all points in the
treatment of the natives.

w..h,nxton.. Headquarters.

The historic old Jumel mansiin on
Washington Heights is going to be
moved from the site it has occupied
for lao years. says the New York
Press. This mansion, now known as
Earlecliffe. was built in 1853 by Col
onel Roger Morris. AT one time in this
revolutionary war it was Washington's
headquarters.
Several years ago General Terdi-
nand p. Earle bought the Jumel man
sion and the grounds attached to it
and the Earles have made the place
their home. Finding the property a
greater expense than they wish to car
ry, the Earies are going to sell most oi
it, reserving a plot in Edgecombe ave.
nue. and One Hundred and Sixty-sec.
ond street, where the mansion will be
moved in the spring. So perfect Is
this rd-of-the-century system oi
moving buildings, that 1t is expected
to lift the mansion from its founda-
tions and place it on the site selected
without as much as disturbing a piece
OF furniture in 1t.
