An English Expert's Views [Copyright 1589 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoxpoN, Feb. 23.—[New York Hera Cable—Special to T Bee.|—The London cdition of the Herald to-day contains an ar ticle from an English naval expert, fol lows : ““The subject of national defense is about to be dealt with in parliament, and the Brit- ish nation will learn soon the scops of the new i 1the cost, about which ther much specalation, John Bull has not got a surplus to draw upon like his cousin on the other side of the Atlantic ogramme has been so nor the revenues of suppressed monasterios to confiscate for that purpose, like the Mikado. Whatever Greal Britain does in this way is foreed upon her, and therefore side light will be found below in some brief accounts of what other nations are doing or burpose to do to increase their navai strength. Naturally one turns to France first as by far the most im portant of the continental naval powers, possessig maritine strength, second only in number to that of this country, and said to be supecior n organization, in readiness for war and in preparation for coast defense. Prance has always paid more attention to the speed and steamung eapacities of her ships, and therein lies her chief advantage to-day. When Admiral Aubo was minister of marine the ship building policy was m direeted to supply fast erui ing commerce, but Admir favorea return to the construction of armor-clad and belted cruisers. Eleven armored vessels are mow in course of construction, five of which wiil be completed this year and others in 1500 and 18501 Two steel clad cruisers to steam over twenty knots are also to be com- pleted within the same _period, and eizhiteen cruisers of not less thad 1,000 tons displace- ment are on the progeatme for 1833-91, which includes also several torpedo cruisers Aloug with the rapid completion of the cruisers ordered by Aube an expenditure has been authorized for the protection of the harbors of Cherbourg and Brest, and these Wi have already been bogun in many ways. The administration of Admiral Krantz has been noteworthy and eharacte cuergy. Next to that of France for the present, but some way after at, stands the muritimo strength of Ttaly, rivaled by that of Russi “TPhe huge moasters that Italy has iunuched od by marked abihty and possess questionable value as Hghting ma- chines, but they carry very powerful guns and have great speed. 1o the programme of 183801 it contemplates o gradual inerea se in overy type or class of ships from the ar- mored battleships through the protected cruisers, of wiich class this nation owns some splendid spacimens, down to the speedy torpedo craft and see-going tug. Russia stands fourth in importance so ates to its naval strenglh among Furo pean powors. The programme of siyjp build ne for this nation dates from 1581, and ex cept that it 18 likely to bo completed in shorter space of time than originally contem- plated ther sto have been little or no departure from its main lines. In addition to the then existing fleet it was proposed to build nineteen first class battle shins, four second class and ten first class cruisers. The armor are now being turned out at the rate of three or four a year, and the cruisers nearly as fast. Two battle ships are on the stocks and four more cruisers have been or sce clad dered. In the Baitic it was only owing to the early closing in of the ice that another battle ship was not launched last year. ‘Phe new admiral of the German navy is being entrusted with the thorough rehubili tation of the naval service. Not oniy had Germany practically ceased to add to her ivon clad navy sines 1990, but had never re placed tnose ships which from wge or acei- dent had become insuficient. Looking to what IRussia was doing in the Baltic and to the growing needs of her colonial development it would have been strange it Germany had still remuis dle. The programmes for 1559 91, which has uow been authorized, includes the constructien of ten coast service battle suips, four foreign service battie shins, seven protected and four partly protected cruisers, besides torpedo eraft. Although the ost of this programme is to be charged to several budgets, the vessels are all to be ready for use with the completion of the Baltic and North sea canal. By 1801 the United States witl possess a navy which is bound to be a fuctor in any consideration of the ‘question of navai su- premacy. The Texas battle shib, now bui ing at the Norfolk navy yard, and the Maine battle ship, to be constructed at the New York nuvy yard, are looked upon by English experts as first-rate vessels of the class they ropresent, but it @8 in regard to er cruisers, or eommerce destroyers, as Secretary Whitney calls them In his annual report, that the United States looks at present like running the English record v Saltimo will b protected cruisers | would be proud to own, Wiale the United tutes, 80 far us their opponent is con- rued, was absolutely supreme at sca, Ler comuierco was utterly ruined by the depre. dations of half a dozen fast vessels acting on well conceived and ably executed plans.

The Eminent French fainter Pay High Tribute to American Art LCopyright 1889 by Jam=s Gordom Beanstt) Panis, Feb, 33, —[New York Herald Cable —Spoecial to Tie Ber,|—A correspondent of Herald spent a pleasar afternoon with M. Bonjamin ¢ studio in Helene, He foun guished st enthusiastically do lighted with his visit to the United States, from whence he returned last Monday by the Novmandic, after a stay of ly throe months, During that time M Benjamin Constant fo 1 time to visit many of the principal citics of the union to ex amine the public and private art gallerics studies of nd to make a nuw i 1 scenery, which, ho tempted him to t landscape punting. In reply to a question about his impres. oncerning art in the United States, Mr. min Constant said the public collec tions I saw in New York, Boston, Philadel says, has almost attention to his plin and elsewhere are well selected and admirably areanged. They form good commencements for what will doubt- less one day become important museums, They prove that love for art is widely spread among - American people and that there is no lack of good taste in such matters on the other side of the Atlantic Another thing that strack me very foreibl while visiting those collections was the fact that ail of them owe their existence and their artistic value oxelusively to private inttiation and munificence, What you Am jcans call public spwit is certainly very common a ¢ vich men of your conn. try, and it is exercised with great judgment s0 fur as art matters ave concerned. There seems, hot 10 be very little public spirit in those who have the mauagement of the public affuirs of New York City. For e, it is paved in a way that would be 1o the poorest provincial town in The streots, with few exeeptions, seemed to me to bo always over ankle deep with mud, or else covered with a thick stratum of dust, while some of them are filthy beyond description. It appears that this primitive statc of things is not due to any lack of money, for I was told that the budget of New York is twice as la; s that of Paris, but it seems that tho bulk of the appropriations somehow or other manage to stick to the fingers of those who have the spending of them. 1 cannot hielp feeling sur- prised that so practical a people as e Americans should stand such a state of things so patiently but to o back toart, [ confess that [ was ly astounded at the number and rich private art colleetions T saw in eve American city 1 visited.
