THE MESSAGE on CONTRaBAND.
Condemned Ivy One vino values Friendly
Relations with England.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN--Sir: Fifty
Americans have been shot recently by
Mexican bullets on the frontier, and
there has been hardly a protest, But
what a vigorous message to the British
Government we have sent because Eng
land examines our steamers for contra
band
Great Britain has fostered and built
up a powerful navy at great expense, ana
now when her empire Is In danger she ls
going to make full use OF her navy, TINS
country or any other Notwithstanding
why should she not examine thoroughly
ships bound for neutral ports carrying
cargoes OF copper far beyond the need OF
the country receiving II and secretly des-
tined for u country at war with breat
Britain? Down at the bottom of nearly
every ship bound for Denmark or llol-
land there Is contraband for a belligerent,
and II is often falsely lnvoiced.
Great Britain has supported her navy
for years to use Il In just such an emer-
gency as this. and I hope she will enjoy
the reward OF her preparedness. Eng
land Is not going to take any chances OF
contraband reaching her enemy, even
though II be shipped to n neutral port.
We should accept damages and be sat
isned.
The attitude OF the people OF this coun-
try save for Germans, Austrians and
few Fenians is friendly to Great Britain
In this hour OF her trial. She Is besides
the best customer we have. Now, why
should this friendly spirit have been en-
dangered by a message that Is likely TO
be abortive OF any good result2
II our objection to England's course IA
sound. diplomacy would accomplish the
corrective better than a hamboyant mes
sage made public here for some purpose
before its delivery in England.
Every thoughtful man ! meet protests
against the false sttttude which Mr'
Wilson's message puts the American peo-
pie In. II this country has a friend let
us keep that friend. What can be gained
by such message as Mr.. Wilson has
despatched TO England?

The Chilean Government has decided to
send the battleship Captain Pratt. the
finest vessel in the Chilean navy, to take
part In the international naval parade In
connection with the formal opening OF the
Panama Canal.-SdntidO despatch.
II may be doubted whether the Capt.
tan Prat is the finest vessel" in the
Chilean navy but the distinction OF being
the only battleship flying the flag be-
longs to the Captain Prat. Two dread
noughts, the Almirante Cochrane and
the Almirante Latorre. were building
for Chile in an English yard when war
was declared. These sister ships Were
To be Of $4,000 tons displacement and
to carry batteries of ten II inch guns
and sixteen 8 inch guns. The l.ator-e
has probably been completed by this
time. and the Cochrane should be ready
for commission before the end of this
year. England has taken over both
ships under the terms OF the builders
contract.
The armored cruiser O'Higgins would
make a better appearance at the Canal
naval parade than the Captain Prat,
which looks like the old Chicago, q
vessel whose lines were not graceful.
! The OIIiggins, OF $500 tons. as COM
pared with displacement OF 1000 tons
for the Captain Pratt, Is a handsome
three funnel cruiser of more modern
design and carries batteries approx
mately as powerful as those OF the
lone battleship. Preference seems to nc
