NEEDS OF NAVAL DEFENSE.
Danish West Indies Must Not Go
To Foreign Power.
PROTECTION OF COAST CITIES.

Washington. May 14--Senator
Lodge in discussing the naval supply
bill said My reasons for desiring
more ships, and desiring them quickly,
is my belief that the safety of the
United States depends upon the
strength of navy Our Atlantic
coast is studded with cities. from the
Gulf to northern Maine For the de-
Tense of this great coast line and these
cities we have adequate feet. We
are about to enter upon the construc-
tion os isthmian canal. To control
that canal, to defend it, to hold it open
for our commerce and for the COM
merce of the world even though it be
against enemys fleet, we must be
the naval masters of the Caribbean sea-
The safety of the canal depends upon
our fleet. All admit that the canal
ought to be built, and the time is near
when the work will be begun. If we
are to protect the canal well as our
coast must have a navy proportion
ately strong.
81 hope and believe that shall
have war, but a great fleet is the
greatest insurance of peace However,
we would be foolish, indeed, if we
should close our eyes to the POSSIBLE
ties of the situation We could never
allow the Danish Islands to pass into
any other hands than ours The Euro
pean nation which should undertake
to take possession of these islands.
right the road to the canal, and
make of them great naval stations,
would by that very act become an
enemy of ours. We could submit to
such thing that. The Monroe
doctrine is great protection to the
United States. Men of all parties,
Democrats, Republicans and Populists.

delegates who sailed for New York
from Rotterdam last week 1t is only
natural that serious thought is chiefly
devoted to prognosticating the date

Purposes of British Government
Made Plain by Chamberlain.
NURSERY OF CONSPIRACY.

Birmingham, England, May II
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state
for the colonies, presided at the an
nual meeting of the grand committee
of the Liberal Unionists of Birning
ham, the occasion being his first
appearance here since the outbreak of
the war. Turning to the question of
condition of affairs in the South
African settlement and the fate of the
republics. Mr. Chamberlain said: ut
Is premature to discuss details, but
am quite ready to take the opinions of
the country. and, above all, the opin-
ions of those self-governing colonies,
which have come Inagnificently to
our assistance While the government
does not wish to be vindictive, they
are determined that never again shall
the republics be nursery of con-
spiracy, and they will see that justice
is done to those who are determined to
be loyal. The government is not pre-
pared to recognize the independence of
the BOer republics Cheers; and we are
determined that the republics shall be
finally incorporated under the British
dag. For an interval there must be a
crown colony, such India is; but we
hope they will event tally become a
great seIf-governing colony like Can
ada and Australia

His Cavalry Only ss Miles From The
Presidents Camp.
London, May 14--Lord Roberts tel
egraphed to the war office: I'VE have
had successful day and have driven
the enemy from point to point The
drifts are extremely difficult and much
baggage has still to come up We
shall, however, march at daybreak and
push on as far a possible in Kroon-
stad direction -
So quickly has Lord Roberts adj
vanced that his cavalry is only twenty
two miles from Kroonstad, while the
main army is only eleven miles behind
them Hence, in about a day the
British will be within striking dis
tance of the Orange Free State head
quarters

strongly in good position on the
Korannaberg hills, lying eastward of
the direct line from Thaba N'Chu to

them yesterday, but is believed to
have gone northvard after inspsriting
the burghers with predictions of ap-
preaching Boer successes through the
assistance of thousands of foreigners,
who, he said, were pouring into Della
goa bay.
President Steyn and a council of the
leaders of several thousand Free

War With Germany.

1t is hard to believe that Germany
would go to war with the United States
over the possession of the Danish West
Indies. 1t is equally as hard to believe
that Germany would give up the Ger
manized province of Schleswig to Den
mark for a few small islands 5000 miles
away. It Is reasonable to believe that
Germany has no desire to pick a quar-
rel with the United States. A war would
be a long-drawn-out affair. Both coun-
tries are compact bodies of land, with
no vulnerable points Of attack except a
few unimportant outlying possessions.
1t would be as foolhardy for Germany
to attempt to land troops in the United
States as it would be for the United
States to land troops in Germany. A
war on the ocean between two nations
of such great u would be un-
decisive, and unless foreign compiled
lions ensued the wal would drag on
indefinitely, causing great financial loss
to both parties, but bringing no def
mite results. Secretary Roots warning
pointed to other complications, and was
perhaps put a little too definite in order
to spur congress to act in the armor-
plate controversy, so that the war-ships
now under construction can be COM
pleted and work on the new ships be
begun.
