CAPT. MAHAN's LETTER.
Naval Officers strong EspOusal Of
british Cause.

NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-Following is the
letter of Capt. Alfred T. Mahan, which
has caused discussion in the British press !:
May ! suggest to your citizens, gener-
ally, and to the Boer sympathizers es-
pecially the inadvisability of public meet
ings on this question. There are very
many among us, myself certainly one,
who feel as strongly in favor of Great
Britain as others do of her opponents Let
us all be careful not to provoke one an
other by immoderate expressions of opin-
ion, to which public meetings tend Those
on one side provoke retaliation on the
other nay. they make 1t necessary, for
in the problems of the near future, good
understanding with Great Britain Is too
important for us to permit the impression
that we are all against her here and we
may find ourselves in the unseemly state
of party divisions for and against foreign
states as. in the beginning of this century,
between the French and British parties.
avail myself of this opportunity to say
that. In my judgment, not only is the
cause OF Great Britain just, but to have
failed to uphold it would have been to fan
in national honor"

put aside until dinner was finished.
Then he mnde considerable ado about
