It is possible that Spain may reserve her naval force for one supreme stroke, hop- ing that the American ships may be so dis- abled in attacking Porto Rico and Havana as to give her the advantage in a general encounter on the sea. Naval authorities on this side do not appear to dread this con- tingency. The combined naval forces in these waters are such as to promise, even after the casualties of bombardment, a sea power superior to whatever force Spain might concentrate and send hither. It is presumed, too, that the bombardment of the two cities named will result in their capture. This would rob Spain of her last coaling station on this side of the Atlantic, and would put her at a great disadvantage in crossing the ocean on an offensive enter- Hence it seems altogether unlikely will depart from her evident policy "nse and delay even if the American vessels should suffer heavily in the en- counter in Cuban and Porto Rican waters. There is good reason, in the light of these probabilities, for an active, aggressive cam- paign in and around Cuba and Porto Rico. Evidences accumulate that the internal conditions in Spain favor a rebellion, which would quickly put an end to any sign of aggressive action on the part of the gov- ernment. Another decisive victory for the United States, such as the capture of San Juan or Havana, would be almost certain » the revolutionary tendencies of in to the point of fighting = themselves. Thus, both for its di- and its indirect benefits, this plan of campaign suggests itself-as eminently wise and safe. The thus ended ily and at a mi ——_ + e= Rapid Transit Legistation. The situation in ¢ transit legislation fe strict is such as to demand prompt attention, even in the midst of the pressure of war measures u the time and opportunity of the The most urgent necessities are nted in two bills, each of which has passed the House. One of them hus been approved by the Senate committee and the other is now before that body. These bills provide for rapid transit extensions into the two principal suburban sections now unprovided sufficiently with those facilities. One enables the Eckington company to equip itself on a modern ba affording the necessary legis permission for financing the scheme and straightening out, as roas y be, the legal tangle into which that road and its corporate associate, rect be spee arding rapid ative the Belt, were enmeshed by their former owners.

It may Lave been that the advocates of this plan desired to preserve some fragment of the sentimental association betw2en the cere- mony and the figure “4,"" which has become im itseif more or less historic. Senator Per- kins’ plea for the preservation of the pres- ent dat», March 4, for the traditions that ave clustered around it, did not sufii- ently appeal to the Senate to overcome the substantial objections to that date aris- ing from (he chazces of inclement weath>r. His statistics were not convincing. Though he show-d a record of many clear fourths of March, yet he neglected to note the fact that many if not most of those clear days were very cold, w freezing. Clear skivs are rot all that is necessary. The temperature must be sufficiently high to ven acute suffering among those who assemble here to participate in or to ob- serve the cer-monies on the greatest of the ational occasions. Senator Hoar clearly pinted out a strong resson for the trans- pesitior. of the date. He showed that by means of this change the working time of Congress would be fairly >qualized, thus permitting annual sessions of practically even length, instead of, as at present, hav- ing each alternate session very short, ne- cessitating hurried and imperf>ct work on the great supply bills. The amendment must now receive the approval of the House by a two-thirds vote, and will then, after proclamation has been duly mad: by the President, be laid before the legislatures of the states, three-fourths of which must ap- prove it before it becomes op2rative. There is time suffictent for this process if the House will act promptly at this session. — ee If Sagasta and the queen regent are wise they will have one or two light-nouse ten- ders kept in readiness to allow them to take some recreation from the cares of offi- ctal busines: ever, even be see ad of being a petitioner, Hawaii will von be fn a position to assume a con- ending attitude and graciously permit this government to annex it. a Spain's Defensive Policy Crystailizing is apparently established that the Spanish fleet recently at Cape Verde is now in home waters, having changed er leaving St. Vincent. On this mption Spain’s military policy is evi- the two principles of Aggression is of the program at this ° lesson of Manila bay has been learned by the authorities at Madrid, ow extremely unlikely that Spain undertake any offensive operations, te contingencies. that Spain may send a hrough the Medit ranean, and, of Admiral Mon This is not a probable undertaking. It would, in the first place, be a departure from the policy of defense upon which Spain has so clearly entered. It would be hazardous, because it would leave exposed the entire Spanish coast line to the attack of a strong Ameri- can fleet, which would almost surely be aispatched for an offensive stroke. Then, too, there is no absolute certainty of a vic- tory over Dewey, even with the aid of the powerful and armored vessels now at Ca- diz. Dewey’s ships are light in compari- son, but with the reinforcement of the Philadelphia and Charleston, now at San Fran and soon to join him in con- Junction with an army of occupation, he would be able to present a strong front to the enemy, especially with the aid of such heavy guns for land defense as are to be shipped to him. It may be regarded as cer- tain that under any circumstances Dewey would not fall as easy a victim to the Span- jp» onslaught as did Montejo to his attack. 1 to the Philippines, | ed by the roads at present i but it can not be bet ation.

The proposition to permit the Capital Tra tion Company to build a loop has for present been negatived. The House p: > Metropolitan bill yesterday. Thus the House has amply provided for the immedi- ate necessities of the District in this regard and it remains for the Senate to seek an early opportunity to put both of these measures upon their passage. The Mount Pleasant problem has present- ed awkward complications for several sea- ns. The rivalry of the two great traction systems for the privilege of entering that populous section has somewhat embar- rassed the Commissioners and the commit- tees. The Metropolitan extension provides for the immediate needs of the suburb and all complicating considerations affecting the inter-relations of the two lines are wisely postponed for future consideration. A gratifying feature of the bill that passed the House yesterday is the provision that the Metropolitan extension shall continue the underground electric system which has Proved so satisfactory within the city and which should be carried into the suburban areas as rapidly as the financial limitations of the various roads now entering that sec- tion will permit the substitution of the un- derground for the overhead system. With the improvements provided by the bills whose passage is now urgently desired by the citizens the District will be finely equipped with rapid transit facilities and the suburbs wili enjoy needed opportunities for expansion and communication with th2 main city. ———_>+2—____ The Naval Personnel Bill. The urgent reasons for the prompt pas- sage of the naval personnel bill, now slum- bering in committee, which are suggested in the news columns of today’s issue, should appeal to all who are interested in the legislative fate of that measure. The navy has long been chafing under the re- strictive and annoying conditions charac- teristic of the past, which have been al- lewed to remain a cause of conflict be- tween the line and the staff. Modern con- ditions require new adjusuments. it is probably impossible to devise a measure that will meet with the approval of every branch of the naval serv mise, however objectionable some of its features may to certain classes, is Sreatly to be preferred to a continuation of the embarrassing friction and narrowing requirements of the present state of af- fairs. The ease with which bills affecting the army and the navy for the betrerment of those two services are being passed just new, when Congress {s anxivus to do what- ever seems necessary to increase the ef- ficiency of the nation’s fighting forces, shouig extend to cover such a bill as this, Tis passage now would probably remove much of the cause of inharmontous condi- ticns within the navy, and it would, it is believed, materially increase the workiny efficiency of that arm of the service. ———_>-+e_,___ Spain's government may have invented the idea of sending more ships to Manila in order to convine> the people that the flotilla is not running away. Gen. Blanco refrains from claiming any credit for the era of high prices for com- mon commodities in Havana. —___++=+-___ The commanders of Spanish vessels are among those who coznplain of limitations in the output of coal. ‘The Hour for Unmasking. Spain ts fitting all sorts of masks on Uncle Sam, and playing him off on her ignorant and credulous people as seems most profit- ‘© and a compro- be able to her. At Manila he was represent2d as a bloodthirsty pirate, come solely to pil- lage and destroy. The lives of the sick and wounded at Cavite were most earnestly be- sought at the hands of Commodore Dewey. The Spaniards believed that the landing o! the Americans would be the signal for an invasion of the hospitals for slaughtar. ‘They were greatly surprised and relieved when the very opposite purpose was dis- closed and. succor was extended to all who wer2 in need of it. They are probably still busy trying to. solve the problem of just what an American pirate may be. The brand presented is wholly new in the far East. At Madrid and elsewhere in the penin- sula Uncls Sam has been wearing the snout of a pig and accredited with all the characteristics of swine. The masses have been assured that he is both gross and cowardly, and he is despised to the extent that this repr-sentation has been accepted. He has bulk, but only that: Spain, with her superb courage, her splendid pride and carriage, and inspired by her glorious past, can easily despatch him. It is only a ques- tion of getting at the rooting, wallowing creature. On2 thrust by her, one agonised squeal by the pig and ail will be over. In Cuba also the face of the pig has had quite a run. General Weyler used it, and General Blanco has found it eff2etive. The Spaniards in the island have been both in- spirited and entertained by this mask. They proclaim a great impatience for the promised invasion. Pigs in line of battle led by pigs wilt afford them opportunity to show to the world afresh how superior man-—lofty, Spanish man—is to brute crea- tion. And when tney shall have made good work of the invaders, they intend to cross over in force to the sty ly ean it up, and make it habitable for human beings with pride and honor and a history. Spain, indeed, has been having a lot of fun with Uncle Sam, but as Uncle Sam has just begun to have a little fun with Spain henors’ may be even before the game is ever. The most interesting hour of the ball when unmasking begins. soe —__ Military Standards.

A Phenomenon. “It's remarkable,” said Senator Sorghum, “how differently people are affected by the same thing.” “Have you been reading medicine?” “No. I was thinking of my speech. It kept me awake four nights, and put every- body who heard it to sleep.” A Senne of Security. A lawyer and his client were descending the steps of the city hall. “Suppose,” said the client, “that Spain decides to send the fleet from Cadiz to Ma- nila. Could it coal at neutral ports?” ‘That would be a question in interna- tional law. “Then I guess we're all right. If they go to law on the point the war will be over Hicng before it gets settled.” An Interesting Uncertainty.

As a business where fortunes are sunk the bicycle-making industry is now making a reputation oaly equaled by its early rec- erd of fortune-bullding. The securities of bicyele tire companies, which are dealt in on the London exchange, having a par value of £6,000,000, and a market value of £3,255,000 a year ago, are now quoted at 000. If less money had been made in the early days of the Industry through undue exactions, less money would have lately been lost in it. ‘What We Will Get Out of the War, From the Buffalo Commercial. “What are we going to gel out of this war?” asks* the inevitable croaker.
