Washington, Sept. 1S.-The object
of the West Indian maneugsrs is Of
wide scope, and is intended to give
the navy department an idea Of the
nature OF the task il will sooner or
later have to face-that is, the de-
tense of the West Indian possessions
and Of the isthmian canal. If the Mon
roe doctrince is to be defied at all by
European power, it is natural, in the
opinion Of naval experts, that the
first blow should fall upon the is
lands of the United States in the
West Indies, and the approaches to
the canal. Can the United States,
with it's present navy, defend these
islands and the canal? That is what
the navy proposes to- find out. The
answer that will come back from the
West Indies will almost surely be
NO" Nobody except the most
ignorant would claim that with the
fleet now available in the Atlantic
could ward off and destroy a hostile
fleet in the West Indies while ade-
quately protecting the more important
home coast line. With the made
quacy of the fleet demonstrated, the
next step will be a deman little Short
Of imperative for an increase in the
navy. 1t Is with this purpose that
the recent maneuvers We're held; it
is for this purpose that the West In
dian maneuvers will be held; and it
is with this purpose clearly in view,
no doubt, that President Roosevelt.
has chung with pertinacity to a dis
cussion of the Monroe doctrine during
ing his recent tours.
The United States is fourth in naval
power. Some experts say she is third,
excelling Germany. But Germany is
expanding more money than the Unit
ed States in construction, and with
the incredible rapidity with which
ships deteriorate and become obsolete,
vast sums must be expended yearly
by any nation attempting to keep in
the front ranks. Two battle ships and
a cruiser or two annually are the
least that can be done in the way of
construction by the United States, If
it will keep abreast of the develop
ment of naval strength by France,
Germany and Russia, to say nothing
of the still greater sums expended by |
Great Britain. Experts in the navy
department unite in declaring that
an annual expenditure of at least $685.
O00. 900 is necessary to keep the fleets
of the United States up to efficiency
and fighting strength. Thirty or forty
millions annually would please them
better.
There is little doubt that congress
will be liberal with the navy. The
on naval affairs of the
house and senate are composed of
keen, up-to-date men, alive to the
growing strength of foreign ~navies
and to the necessities of the United
States. Before the Spanish war the
navy was planned on a big SCALE
plans have been revised and
enlarged on a vastly bigger scale. In
1897 there were two coasts and a. lit ]

san Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. 49,
On November I will be held an elec-
ton covering the entire island, at
which time a resident commissioner
to the United States, five delegates
from eachs legislative district, a mayor
for each municipal district, one
municipal Judge, three school trustees
and members Of the council will be
chosen. In San Juan two municipal
judges and two substitutes will be
voted for.
While the campaign has not fully
opened, yet the first few meetings
have been theatrical. The Porto
Rican is a good citizen. He generally
minds his own business and believes
in the adage: Live and let live
until it comes to politics. Then there
are no half way measures. If you
are on the opposite side, whatever
that may be, your opponent considers
that you are not entitled to live and
that you have lost all claim to- re-
s%pectability because you do not be-
lieve as he does. This being the case
with n faction and the other, it will
be readily see that when Greek
meets Greek, there is bound to be re-
suits Of the Donnybrook species.
Thus far few meetings have been
held which have not ended with a
few broken heads, and the grave
charge has been made that the pc
lice were mo- the least active.
Today, in Porto Rico, there are,
strictly speaking, two parties, the re-
publican party, now in power, and the
American Federation. Another par
ty has sprung up in the past few
weeks which styles itself %unionists.
Its platform is Utopian to such an
extent that it is not being considered
seriously by the other two.
Two years ago the federals cast
no votes at all, claiming that it
would be useless to go to the polls,
as the republicans would count them
out. The federals are going to the
pOAAo SAAo yO0A dAu are 6OluS " SEE
that their votes are counted as cast.
In this determination they have the
Endorsement Of the governor, who has.
declared that a fair election must be
held, whatever the result.
Most Of the trouble occurs in in
terror towns, where the people have
little else to do except to dabble in
politics, and so everybody is a poll
tician. The recent disturbances at
Humacan, Cage and Juncos were only
the result of abnormally developed
feeling of intolerance.
In certain districts the police have
openly ~proselyted for n side or the
other until brought severely to task
by the higher officials, and Acting
Governor Martzell and Chief Techter
have struck on a HAPPY plan. In re-
publican strongholds policemen with
federal leaniEgs will be detailed and
those with republican sympathies will
patrol the federal towns.
1t is difficult to forecast the result
at this time, as nominations have not
even been made, but that the federals
will carry a number of districts and
make a very good showing in the
house Of delegates is conceded by
those who are in a position to know.
