IMPROVING NEW YORK HARBOR.

Every who feels the least interest in the
prosperity of this city must contemplate with
chagrln the restrictions put on its foreign com
merce by the inadequacy of the harbor TO ac-
commodate the largest ships which come here
AS was pointed out by The Tribune yesterday
when work was begun on the Ambrose Chan
mel six or seven years ago, 1t expected
that the first stage Of the undertaking. giving
a depth of thirty-five feet at low tide, would
be completed in 1905. 1t now appears that it
will not be finished until next summer. Even
then IT will not fully meet the requirements OF
certain vessels which have been visiting this
port for several years.
The Celtic for instance designed TO draw
thirty six feet when carrying her maximum
load. In order to get her in and out Of the
harbOr, therefore, it has been necessary to give
her smaller cargo than her owners would
like to handle and TO reduce her earning ca
pacity accordingly. Now the stern of q steam
ship always sits foot or two lower when she
Is under way than when she is motionless and
an interval of a foot or two more between her
keel and the bottom OF the channel is essential
TO safety. Hence the Celtic needs thirty-nine or
forty feet of water before she can take q full
load in and out Of New York Bay As the tide
rises and falls about four and a hnIf feet here
the feat be accomplished at the hour Of
extreme high water when a depth OF thirty
five feet at low water has been secured Yer
TO be compelled TO waste time in that print
tive fashion-a loss of nearly half a day some
times resulting from missing particular tide
is a veritabe grievance. and absolute freedom,
10 come and go will be attainable only with
the further deepening of the channel to fortv
feet.
The embarrassment 10 commerce will be even
more obvious when the two new Cunard steam
ships, the Lusitania and the Mauretania begin
their service. They are not only longer and
broader than the Celtic. but deeper also. They
are intended to draw thirty seven or thlrty-sevan
and half feet at full load The dates of tba,r
first visits TO this country have not been an.
nounced, and probably cannot yet be fixed. Inn,
IT IS unlikely that their appearance on this side
OF the Atlantic is more than year or dftaen
months distant. At that time the thirty-ava

ing Cuba In 1899 is however more offensive
than amusing, would be if Americans had
not become pretty we'll accustomed to animos-
tiles from that source. The "Novoe Vremya''
is supposed TO reflect the official Russian mind.
but should be sincerely sorry to suspect Of
fetal Russia Of being unable to understand why
a government should keep in one year a pledge
which II had formally and solemnly made In the
year before. Concerning the wisdom Of that act
of self-denial which forbade US to take Cuba
opinions may differ. But since that act was
performed and proclaimed to the world It has
been impossible-at least to the American mind
to consider any other course than loyal and
sincere fulilment Of its consequences Having
promised to leave the island to the government
of its own people. the United States Will do so.
so long as there is hope of their being able to
govern the island In a manner satisfactory to
American civilization.
There are In various papers confident as
sumptions that the United States Will now or In
the very near future find 1t necessary to annex
Cuba. We suppose taat these are we'll meant
with realization of the fact that Cuba might
make Il necessary for this country to take per-
manent possession of the island, and that In
such case the act of abnegation of 1898 would
become morally and legally void We must be-
lieve. however, that they are mistaken, both In
their view of the Cuban situation and In their
estimate of the desires and aims of the United
States 1t does not appear to US that the Cuban
situation. bad as 1t is, is anything like SO hope
less. Secretary Taft as provisional Governor
appears to be bringing order out of chaos rap
idly. and there is good ground for hoping that
in the near future it will be possible to rein-
quish the chief magstracy OF that republic TO
a man elected by the Cuban people and to with
draw from the island the limited measure of
American authority which is now being exer-
cised there with much efficiency AS for the
, wishes and aims OF this country, they are GER
tainly in error who imagine them TO compass
the subversion of the Cuban republic and the
annexation of that island to the United States.
The world may be assured of the absolute sim
cerity OF the declaration repeatedly made by the
President and his agents, and again uttered by
Secretary Taft yesterday when he said to the
Cubans: II am here only to help you on. to
"lift you again to the resumption Of the wonder
"ful progress you have made, So that you may
"once be able to point with pride to the
"fact that the United States IS not an exploiting
nation
