white trops will be with hdrawn from the
West Indies. During the few months
that I have been in England I have

Century in West Indies. @.,,. "
"For upwards of a century British
troops have been quartered in Barba-
does, st. Lucia and Jamaica, and in
other islands at intervals. Up to Janl-
ary last it had been the intention of
successive governments to fortify st.
Lucia as a coaling station, and to con-
centrate the force there necessary: for
the southern portions of the West In
dies. To this end, during the last ten
years, vast sums have been spent. Lord
DOnOughmOre stated in answer to Lord
Tweedmouth that since 1888 the expen-

If this be the case there must have been
many extras; for I am convinced that
the cost of guns, Notifications, rail
ways, barracks and officers quarters
has not been less than $10,00O,000; if
indeed it. does not exceed that figure. A
few, months of, neglect in the tropics
will render these huge works valueless
and similar result will follow to the
fine barracks, government land and
quarters which are already offered for
sale. #5.&Ss. -, s.s...-..5 - .,,z.l
Why All This Waste? nv
"What is the reason Of this. waste
and this sudden reversal Of all previous
policy? It cannot be economy, for the
troops are not to be disbanded, and it
I will cost just so much to maintain them
on home stations. Strategically it
would seem to be mistake, for who
; can tell what results may follow from
! the opening of the Panama canal, which
, may be looked for in the course Of a
very few years9
| "America, at all events, seems tc
place value on the West Indies. Cuba
and Porto Rico are already under hel
sway; she is very likely to obtain
j, Santo Domingo and may probably buy
! Danish West Indies. England alone
seems careless of the fate Of these is
lands, for which so many of her brave
sons fought and died, and sets no value
on her possessions in the Caribbean sea

Measures Against Crime.
And Who is to Pay?

But this is not the end of the diff
fculty.: But who will pay for all this9
If the money is charged to the inter
colonial council which pays the South
African constabulary, there will be a
strong protest from the Orange river
colony, which is already crying out
that it is saddled with more than its
fair share of the common expenditure.
And if the Transvaal alone has to pay,
there are many who will strongly object
fearing additional burdens because
their; mines employ Chinese labor.
Already it is urged that the mines must
pay for any protection necessary.
So Johannesburg goes on hoping for
the best from the new police and mine
arrangements, and for new spirit to
show itself in the Chinese.
But the man on the Reef is buying
