IT WILL NEVER COME DOWN In 1 the general excitement of ' warfare in the Philipines, few per sons, probably, have noticed that a large part of the North Atlantic squadron has been for two or three weeks in Guantanamo bay. ine fleet is not there to make any hos 1 tile demonstrations, but is using ' the magnificent land-locked bay as a practice ground. Meantime the naval and army engineers are mak - ing surveys with a view of ltnpiov - ing the harbor and transforming Gauntanamo bay into one of the great naval stations oi the Western hemisphere. It will be remembered that the first foothold secured by the Aiuer- icans at the beginning of the war with bpain was on oauntanamo bay. The position captured and Hem Dy me marine ongaae proveu to be one of the healthiest in East ern Cuba. This fact and the ad- vantage of the bay as a rendezvous : for war ships led the naval engi-j neers to recommend it as a naval . station. The concentration ol the , fleet there indicated the purpose of j the government to utilize Gauntan- j amo as a permanent station. With j comparatively small expenditure; the bay can be made one of the finest in the world. The few Americans who Iookiperils tbat are ahead Ql him. but forward to the early withdrawal of . he is determined that, barring General Brooke's army from Cuba , accjdentS he will exhibit his ship do not realize that the fortifications at the Paris Exposition in iooo. at Havana, atMantanzas, atSaati-! ago, and at Cienfuegos are manned , by American troops; that the im- provements in the cities of the: coast, as well as those of the inter-1 ior, nave oeen maae unaer tne direction of Americans; thatwhere ever permanent work has been in stalled, it has been done by Ameri cans; that the American flag flies from the fortifications and tbe ships tbat guard Havana and Santiago, as if these were native American instead of Cuban. In tUe Philipines the same policy is being pursued. Admiral Dewey has taken measures to put the navy yard and arsenal at Cavite in good condition, and on his own motion has raised the Spanish ves sels and had them repaired or equipped for service in the Philip pine waters. At the same time General Otis has instituted meas ures to improve conditions, not only in Manila, but in every city in the island occupied, or to be occupied, by Americans. The government has had prepared in Chicago plans for a refrigerating plant and cold storage warehouse, to be erected as soon as possible at Manila. This will be the first enterprise of the kind undertaken by any govern ment in the East. It will be of immense advantage to army and navy, and will puve the way for other establishments of the kind that will give residents of Manila tbe benefit of the best cold-storage system. The improvements that have been made or projected in Cuba and the Philippines mean much. They mean the maintenance of the present American occupation in the islands. They mean a purpose on the part of our government to Americanize our new possessions Cuba and Porto Rico are our out posts in the Caribbean sea. On the Pacific we have Hawaii, where jfean iiaroor win soon oecome a great naval station. Eastward we have Guam and Wake islands on the way to the Philippines. And off the Chinese coast we have the great archipelago, which consti tutes the gateway to the Asiatic mainland. The flag that waves today over them all will never come down, and the present course of the Washington government is growing recognition of this glorious fact. Chicago Inter Ocean. AROUND THE WORLD.

When he leaves here he will take with him food enough to last for mx months and 100 gallons of water in barrels. He expects to make Honolulu in 18 days and from Hawaii will start on the long trip to Manila, touch ing at the Ladrone Islands. Captain Freitsch will carry with him a number of letters from oromi- nent AmeriCatlS to the army and a- , . . . , navy Officials now On duty in the t,. .,. . , , ... .

He will then steer south across the Indian ocean, through the Straits of Malacca, on to Cape Town, which he expects to reach next February. From South Africa he will journey north through the Bay of Biscay, along the French coast and reach Paris by the River Seine. Captain Freitsch has received from the Prince of Monaco a num- of small bottles, specially made, one of which he will throw over board each day at noon after plac ing in it a record of latitude and longitude and other data. The Prince of Monaco is an ar dent student of ocean currents and hopes by this means to obtain much valuable information. Captain Freitsch is 38 years old and was born in Finland, but is a naturalized American citizen, and, like the Vikings, his ancestors, has a disposition to roam the boundless seas. IF he succeeds in his daring' venture, and it is hoped that he will, he will have achieved a record which no mortal has ever possessed. The management of the Steeple chase at Central Park has engaged Captain Freitsch to exhibit his boat twice daily for a limited period and the daring navigator will explain us working to visitors. S.
