B +c; France came to our assistance in the days of the revo- lution, and Russia in the days of the civil wer, is no reason for counting those powers on our side In the divisions of this day. Each was playing us against Engiand at the time of its manifestation of friendship, and each to serve its own purposes would aa promptly play another power against us now. A discussion of motives is always at- ‘tended with difficulty. An unmixed motive is the rarest thing in the world. The American policy is not one purely of sen- tment. We did not take the field against Spain entirely because she was starving ‘Retr pegple ta.death at our very doors, but ~—= ntiment, and aiso because she had destroyed a valuable trade we had established with Cuba, and had treacherously sunk the Maine and doomed tvo hundred and sixty-six of our sailors in the harbor of Havana. But sentiment did move us very mater- lally in the premises. We did look upon the Cubans with all the greater favor be- cause they were fighting for liberty, and had declared their desire to enjoy that form of goverrment of which we had our- selves demonstrated the value and desira- bieness. And as we know that senti- ment has weight with us, is it fair to as- sume that we are alone in that regard among the people of the earth? Why may not France feel it also? Not what sur- vives of the France of the two Napoleons— neither of whom was ever a sincere friend of anybedy—but what survives of the France of Lafayette and Gambetta. The France of today—not without faults, ‘of ecurse—ts very far from the bloody France of the First Empire, or the sodden France ef the Second. But we cre not living on, or slavishly guiding by, sentiment in this country. We need not choose between a pronounced op- timism or a pronounced pessimism. We shall lose nothing by keeping our faith in friends until they prove themselves no longer worthy of it. Our eyes and ears Our prestige as a nation is at We are asking assistance of no- We feel amply able to paddle our own canoe. But we shall note all devel- opments, and remember them. If old friends desert us, we shall know it. If old enemies come to our side we shall know that. And of one thing there is this posi- tive assurance: We shall eimerge from this war more tu be desired as a friend, and qrore to be respected as an enemy, than ever before in our history. ——_—_++-____ The Naval Movements. The situation today with regard to the chances of a battle with the Spanish fleet in the near future is about the same as that with which last week closed. The Spanish ficet is at or near Curacao. It has heen reported that government pressure Was brought to bear to compel the Spanish Vessels to leave that port after a few hours and that they have withdrawn to an un- known point, at which they are expected to coul from the colliers that have met them. There is some doubt about their exact wher-abeuts, but they can not be very far from Curacao. Nor is anything known that throws light cn their probable destination. There is as much reason as ever to believe that they are headed for Clenfuegus or pos- ly Havana. They may be s2eking San- tiago de Cuba, frem which the enly re- maining cable connecting Blanco with the world, save through American proceeds from Cuba to Jamaic: © American flegts are steadily drawing ¥ to the scene of possible conflict.

This is possibly true, but if so it was un- aveidable. The stretch of th2 waters to be covered by the patrol is scarcely appre- ciated by the casual observer of the cam- paign. The number of islands fs enormous. The pessible poiats of harboring are beyond 2asy calculation. The chances of evading notice are consequently increased. It was good fortune that the presence of the Spaniards in these waters was made posi- tively known at all. There was no superior strat>gy ubout the matter. It was a mere case of good luck, such luck as the enemy is not likely to centinue to enjoy through- out the war. If his policy be one of avoid- ance and delay he may prolong the hunt somewhat and incidentally stretzn out the period of hostilities. But that 2ventually he will be met and conquered by an Ameri- can fleet 15 to be questioned on the assumption after cruising around inat in the Caribbean sea for a few days 1 turn tail and run for nom:. sort of offen campaign on his part is almesi certain to result in a battle, the out- come of which can not be doubted. ——_-. +e -___ Venezucia’s Friendship. y developments in connection with the maneuvering of the Spanish fleet in the Caribbean Sea should involve the Vene- zueian government it is by no means likely that the interests of the United States will suffer in the least. The firm intervention by this government to prevent aggressions by Great Britain on Venezuela only a short time ago has served to create a bond of hearty sympathy between this nation and the little republic to the south, and this is the ‘first opportunity that has offered for the latter to extend more than a mere verbal expression of gratitude. It is a strange spectacle, indeed, that is thus pre- sented. The mediator is highly esteemed by both sides to the boundary quarrel. The acute stage of that difficulty was passed lung ago, and the adjusiments b3tween Great Britain and Venezuea are in satis- factory progr: Any ve See Even if tie rumor that New York's har- Lor defenses are being tampered with were true t no likelihood that Sampson and Schley will give the Spanish snips any chance to take advantage of an opening in that part of the continent. +e ‘The ignorance displayed by Spanish sat!- ors of the fact that a war is in progress shows that = press censorship which pauses all reports to be regarded with in- differcnee is not a desirable institution. +e. —___.

Reports of the fighting at San Juan the other day show that the fortifications on the shore were reduced without any ma- terial difficulty by the American fleet ma- neuvering in the harbor. This accomplish- ment bears interestingly upon a phase of modern warfare that may yet become an important factor in the pending campaign. The fire from the large caliber guns of the _battleships appears to have had an im- mediately destructive effect on the anti- quated fortifications. The stone ramparts Were no protection to the guns and the gunners. The modern verdict is decidedly against such construction. Earthworks have supplanted masonry in battery construction and the tendency is away from the concentration of many guns within enclosures, called forts. At Car- denas, in the engagement that cost our side the first lives lost in the war, the effective firing was done by the land batteries, so masked on the shore with undistinguisha- ble earth ramparts and possibly with veg- etable growths that they could not be dis- cerned from the harbor. The Spaniards, too, used smokeless powder, which pre- vented the Americans from quickly and ex- actly locating the source of the danger, THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, MAY 16, 1898-12 PAGES, This once more illustrates the superiority of the individual battery. The fire does not signalize itself as markedly as does that from a centralized defense and here lies the strength of the new emplacements in the neighborhood of the large coast cities of this country. Part of those near Wash- ington are of the “masked” type while others are located on or near the stone ramparts of Fort Washington. At New York the chief reliance is upon the modern batteries of high power guns operated from behind earthworks of such dimensions that the guns and gunners are thought to be secure from any shot that may reach the spot. The perfection of the disappear- ing carriage, too, gives the land defender a material advantage. +—____~++e______ The Madrid government's offer of re- forms in the Philippine Islands is in line with the old policy of conceding nothiag that has not already been secured. ——__+++____ It is about time for the Washington Base Ball management to stop talking about this season and begin to tell about the fine team we will have next year. ——_++2—____ The German emperor will at least wait until there is a formal surrender befure tauking remarks about what is to be done with the Philippine Is!ands. ———_++e—____ The United States is a country big enough and varied enough to furnish vol- wnteers for any climate. ——_—- +++ -—____ SHOOTING STARS.

The current war is furnishing some pow- erful argumen vor of the building of the Nicaragua Had that canal been in use th> Oregor. would long ago have been with Admiral Sampson's squadron.
