THE EXPENSE OF A NAVY.
1t Is Much Greater Than the Maiute-
nance of an Army.

nance of an Army,
A great navy Is proportionately much
more expensive than a great army A
warsbip requires constant and unremit-
ting attention to keep her in good condi-
ton. every foot she moves is 1T an ex-
penditure for coal; in the course Of a
year she travels many thousands of miles.
involving two great items for coal and
oil; shifts in her crew to and from for
egn stations require costly transporta-
zion; in foreign ports she is more or less
at the mercy of local coal dealers and re-
pair shops, so that in addition to her
great original cost, it needs q large out
lay to keep her fit, says William Nc
kdoo in the North American Review. -
This gives the critics of large expen-
dituTes an opportunity for invidious, and
sometimes. unjust comparison between
the aggregates for appropriations for the
army and navy. A fort having 900 men
represents nothing like the expense of a
battleship with a smaller number Of sail
grs in her crew. Her first cost is neces-
saTily large, and to keep her in good con-
diticn there must be yards at various
points, with docks capable of receiving
her, surrounded by machine shops and
endless supplies to repair her in case of
damage.
She has to be fitted out with every ap-
pliance. She is q city in herself: she
distiIls her own water, she makes her
own electricity: she manufactures her
own ice; she must have a perfect sewer
age and yentilating system; she must
have proper kitchens for all divisions of
her crew. suitable sleeping and living
apartments for her officers and men; a
weIl-ccnditioned hospital, a library and
q church and last, but not least. she
must have prison and a police force.

COFFEE PLANTATIONS. III GUATE-
MALA BADLY DAMAGED BY
EARTBQUAKES-COnsul General 7.
c. NcNally writes under date Of May
G, from Guatemala City:
tally destroyed QuezaItenango, the sec
ond city Of Guatemala. and many of the
nefghboring smaller communities. visited
with awful consequences the prosperous
coffee plantations of the republic While
the coffee trees themselves suffered Iit-
tie damage. the dwellings. storehnuses,
electric installations. coff-e machinery,
and other improvements On nearly all
tee estates were more OF less seriously
injured: and this Will necessarily divert
attention from the gathering OF the cof-
fee crop to the early repairing of the
almost universal damage. Before the ca
tast1ophe Of April IS indications pointed
to a very large output OF coffee next
season. but I car now say that the
yield viii not be oae-haIf what was ex-
pected.
Many things at this tims combine tc
-etard even the necessary repairs on the
estates. The most serious difficulty is
he lack of labor For many seasons
7as. the impossibilty Of securing ade-
4uate haIp for cleaning the coffee trees
1as been a source of constant loss tc
most of the coffee planters, and now
nat the surplus labor of the republic
aas been pressed into service to clear
away the debris in the ruined cities ant
owns, the question has become still
more serious.
The building Of new railway lines has
also induced many laborers to leave tho
,oaee estates to engage in grading OF
.ack laying To escape compulsory
eFvice in the ruined cities it is said that
many laborers are crossing over into
salvador OF Mexico.
The work OF constructing the North
srn Railway from El Rancho TO Guate-
nala City is progressing most encour-
zgingiy- The grading has been CON-
)leted to Sanarate, about fifty miles

The completion Of the Northern Rail
