b \ GOOD THING.

Government preparations for the es-
Establishment of an important naval sta
ton, costing $5,0OO.OO0, at Subig Bay, in
the Philippines, constitute the most
satisfactory Development that has yet
been noted in our Oriental possessions.
1t is likely, indeed, that this gain OF
an American naval station in the Far
East will, for many years, at least, bring
about the only benefit which We derive
from the American occupation Of the
Philippines. There is little prospect Of
any great good coming from the owner
ship Of the islands themselves in the
near future. The outlook in that re
spect. indeed, is that they will cost us,
in war and other ways, vastly more
than they are worth.
As to the value Of a naval station in
the Philippines, however, there can be
TO question, and for this reason the
progress OF the work now determined
upon by the Government may be
watched with qualification by the Ameri-
IA people. The naval station at Subig
Bay Is Of more genuine promise to le-
climate American power than all the
islands OF the Philippine Archipelago,
the joblot collection Of endorsements
for which we have already paid SC many
hundreds Of millions of dollars in excess
OF their value.
