NOTES FROM AMERICA
Thiokor than Wator Schemes for
Industrial Expansion
Each day for soveral woeks pant
has brought up a net phase of what
probably might ooour iu tho event
of a war by tho United Statos with
Spain You can readily couceivo
that moro or loss of publics interest
is tho result but that which has
beon liko a silvor liniug iu the dark
eloud of threatened wir is the an
nouncement made yesterday in all
tho papers that tho visit of the
British Ambassador Sir Julian
Paunoefote to tho White House a
few days ago was to convey to Presi
dent McKiuley tho gratification of
tho Queeu at iho wise aud con
servative course which he has thus
far pursued in relation to tho Cuban
and Spauuh situation Of course
hero has been no oiljoial intimation
as to what occurred at this visit but
well informed aud reliable Washing
ton correspondents of the great
nowspapurs aro agreed in their
despatches that thin was the pur
port of the visit of Sir Julian to
tho President It fs thorefore at
this writing generally accepted oa
a probability What a glow of satis
faction canio over tho nation when
even thin imperfect report of what
took placo was published The At
lantic Ocean Foparatesus from Eng
land but it is still true that blood
is thicker than water Matthew
Arnold said that tho people of tho
United States came for tho most
part from the best parentago n
modern nation can have of that
Gorman stock which bis father do
scribed moro than fifty yeais ago as
the most moral race of men the
world has yot seen with tho sound
est laws tho least violent passions
tho fairest domestio and civil
virtuoj A later observer Mr J
W Cross tho husband of- Goorgo
Eliot emphasised this judgment in
an artiole in tho Nineteenth Cen
tury written on his return from a
visit to this country He said
Thero cannot be true patriotism in
tho United Statos iu Canada or in
Australia without perpetual loyal
recognition of tho root from which
tho inhabitants of these countries
have all sprung from which they
have dorived their language and
their laws their litoraturo and thoir
roligion so thoro cannot bo true
patriotism in England without
proper consideration for tho best
interests of all tho offspring
The rift within the luto how
evor is the report that is published
simultaneously with the above
whioh is that Lieut Colwell the
uaval attache of the American Lega
tion in Loudon says tho efforts of
tho United States to obtain war
ships from English firms has beon
checked by tho uuoxpeoted action
of tho British Government in notify
ing tho ship buildors that they must
not give options to the United
States on vessels under construction
or mako contracts with this country
for building now ones without ob-
tainiug permission from tho Ad
miralty OtBco in London This it
is said is not to be taken as an act
of unfriendlineis on tho part of
Great Britain as it applios equally
to Spanish endeavours to buy ships
from Armstrongs Thornjorofts and
otbor English firms Washington
regards this as an indication that
Groat Britain has already decided
to assort hor neutrality botween
Spain and tho United States and
that she does not iutond to take any
chances of becoming involved in
auother expensive international
episode liko that of tho Alabama
No information has been received
here it is said as to tho reason for
Groat Britain taking this aotiou
but it is bolioved at tho Stato and
Navy Departments at Washington to
be based on the decision rendered
by the Geneva Commission of Ar

A neutral Government is bound to
use duo diligonce to prevout the
fitting out arming or equipping
within its jurisdiction of any vossol
which it has roasonable ground to
boliovo is intended to cruiso or carry
on war against the Powor with
which it is at peace and alto to use
liko diligence to provont the de
parture from its jurisdiction of any
vessel intonded to cruise or carry ou
war as above such vessel having
been specially adapted iu whole or
iu part within such jurisdiction to
warlike use
Mr Duucotnbos question in tho
British Ilouao of Commons though
withdrawn has benu published in
full here and has greatly strength
ened the feeling of friendship tow
ards England Thoro soems to be
an implicit aud universal confidence
that the Government Party aud to
a considerable extent the Opposi
tion Party in Groat Britain aro iu
hearty sympathy with the Uuited
States in regard to Cuba and Spain
No one whose opinion iu influential
or whoso judgment has been formed
by calm reasoning suppose at this
writing that we are going to war
with Spain Thoio 5p howover a
uuanimous sentiment here that an
opportunity has been presented for
the settlement of the Cuban ques
tion and that this opportunity
should be made uso of cost what it
may It is not unlikoly that beforo
this letter is read by your readers
that you will have been informed
by cablo as to the general tonor of
the message of President MKinley
to Congress It will it is expected
now virtually demand the independ
ence of Cuba and upon terms that
it is scarcely likely Spaiu will refuse
This certainly ought lo be the way
out
IXDUSTMALISU AND MILITARISM
There is considerable speculation
even among those who take a dis
passionate and matter of faot view
of the Cuban situation as to what
the settlement will be evon if thero
b no war It seoms iuovitablo judg
ing from present conditions that tho
United Statos will havo to take
Cuba in some shape or form In
dustrialism enters into tboso specu
lations as well as militarism and tho
former in a country lik this has a
greater iufluouco than the latter If
the older countries are looking
about with a keen search for newer
markots aud newer lauds for their
people it is uot surprising that the
Uuited StatPB should go ou a simi
lar search We must put ourselves
in a position to extend our com
merce aud give employment to our
people With our improved ma
chinery and intelligent artisans wo
can produce in ouo year as much as
we can consume in throe We must
find markets for our products work
for our labor Wo must keep our
productive energies in motion Wo
send already one hundred and ton
million dollars annually to Havaua
for tobacco sugar and coiff e which
goes to Spniu Tho Uuited States
is a naliou iu the middle of tho
world midway between tho pro
ducers of Europe and the consumers
of Now Zealand Australia Now
Guinea Borneo Sumatra Siam
China Japan Corea aud other
semi civilized peoples On this ac
count the aunexatiou of Hawaii has
been advocated in Cougroes It is
claimed that with Hawaii in our
possession fortified so as to ronder
it impregnable as it easily can bo
a safo haven of retroat for our mer
chantmen iu timos of war a coaling
station for the ships of the world
provided with at least six dry
docks to accommodate our owu
ships whou repairs aro ueeoseary
aud the ships of friendly nations
desiring to use them it could bo
made a profitable investment with
out other considerations It could
be made a sourpe of revenue as well
