BRITISH NAVY AT MADEIRA.
Suppose we had a dozen or more great
and swift ships at Madeira" continued
the naval man, they could reach Glib

gency, or even quicker If Marconi makes
good his promises. These vessels. then,
having silenced the Spanish guns, and

up the straits-close the bag, so not a
herring could pass through.
This, sir, means absolute control of
the Mediterranean lake by Great Britain,

neuvers as to the Indian sea route, besides

you will glance at the map you will see
that there is a group of Madeiras, the main
island and two smaller ones-Porto Santo
and Desertas. Porto Santo, twenty-three
miles northeast from Madeira, would make
an excellent outpost and signal station for
the Mediterranean. OF course, speaking Of
Madeira, the whole group is meant. 1t is
not to be supposed that great Britain would
allow another power, big or small, to play
overseer at Porto Santo or Desertas. With

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In your issue of Sunday last. under the
head of "A Desirable Accomplishment"
you have given our young people valuable
advice. 1t is equally important to them to
know that they can learn Spanish cheaply
in this city, Spanish-America is large in
scope and in aggregate population. Events
occur daily among them, as among people
in other countries, that would afford inter-
esting reading to our people, and the mar
ket quotations would be useful to our bust
ness firms. There is, therefore, apparently
a fine opportunity for a newspaper in our
country that would devote some space reg
ularly TO Spanish-American news and mar
kets Both could be gathered by exchanges
with the leading journals of the chief cities
of each country, then translation and re-
publication. Such paper would command
superior consideration, enlarged circulat ton
and a valuable advertising medium for
both American and Spanish-American pa
irons. The office OF the paper would become
an exchange of international news and bus
mess. G.. w. JACKSON.
