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.

wrecked on the Irish coast in a
terrible storm.
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-

At Manila he will take on fresh
supplies and make the run to Hong
Kong and other ports in China.
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.
