POINTS OF VANTAGE.

DO WE WANT A COALING STATION IN

THE WEST INDIES?

Comparative Advantages of Available Island*—Shall It Be St. Thomas, Samana Bay or San Nicola*?—Is the King of

Denmark Disgruntled?

[Special Correspondence.]

WASHINGTON, April 18.—Tbe sea of politics is turbuleoi jest at present, and it behooves a small boat to keep Dear shore, bat one may ascend some height near tbe coast perhaps and scan tbe landscape, or rather tbe seascape. Peradventnre he may discover something worthy of note.

There have be'en rumors of war, as we all know, and our hopes and perhaps our fears have been excited often of late. In tbe harry of preparation and tbe tumult home it seems to have es-

LANDtNO AT ST. THOMAS

oaped tbe attention of all save a few that the exigencies of naval warfare may cause as to look beyond oar coasts for some vantage ground whence we may the better wage a battle or battles tban close at home.

Years ago, in sailing through tbe West Indies, I had my attention called to the advantageous situation of several of those islands for the purpose of coaling stations for our fleets in oase we should ever be called upon to carry war to the southward and westward. It is well known that without bases of supplies comparatively near tbe seat of war and opportunities for frequent renewal of fuel our great battleships and orvisers, our torpedo boats and monitors, would be as useless as so many old iron pots. This subject has been fully ventilated in tbe publio press and now and then a remedy suggested, but tbe general ignoraace upon it is shown by the way it has been treated. For instance, only last week one of our leading dailies alluded to tbe great bay of Samana, on the north ooast of Santo Domingo, as tbe bay of Samoa and stated that it was distant enly 85 miles from Santo Domingo oity, when in reality it is more than 100 milos away.

It also said that it was controlled by an American syndicate, which is only partly true. An American syndicate has control of the oustoms of Santo Domingo, but as to its facilities for acquiring territory—that is another matter.

Official Opinion.

In order to find out if our government Were alive to the situation I addressed a note to each member of tbe senate committee for foreign affairs as follows:

Sin—Will you kindly inform in© whether or not you nro in invor of tho acquisition by the United States of coaling station in the West Indies, and in case you nro, whether your choico would bo St. Thoinan, Snmann bay or tho Mole San Nicolas? By returning an answer you will greatly oblige your obediont servant,

There are 11 members of that committee, and but four of them—the best known, by tbe way—honored me with an answer. Of the others two tuld me personally that they bad no opinion on the subject, and the remainder probably did not know anything about it. The gist of opinion, however, of those who had studied tho subject was in favor of the acquisition of sueb a Btation. The chairman of tbe subcommittee, Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, one who is probably better informed tban any other excopt Senators Frye and Morgan, and who has persisteutly advocated tbe purchase of some island in the Caribbean sea for years, stated that ho was still in favor of it and gavo his reasons, which for prudential considerations I will not herewith detail.

Senator Morgan, also, who has shown his advanced ideas as a statesman looking beyond the mere present status of our country, is unequivocally in favor of the obtaining of such an island as may be acquired "without shocking the nerves of any European power."

That is a good way to put it, as doubtless any acquisition by us of terri tory beyond our present ooast line would be a great shock to foreign governments and perhaps resented in some way. But when a man is drowning he doesn't look about him to ask if he may grasp at this or that stick of timber that may perchance float within his resRjb, but he just grabs it and then waits till he gets ashore to settle any possible complications.

But there will not be. any complications if our people are cautious and approach the subject in the right way. Besides, though it does not seem to be universally known, we havo already acquired territory beyond our coast, and even beyond our "wane of influence." It is not extensive, to be sure, but still it is territory, even though in one case a barren rook covered with guano and seasbella. One of the places we have title to by right of occupancy is tbe small island of Navassa, in the channel between Jamaica and Haiti. It has no good harbor and is practically uninhabitable, which is to be regretted, as it lies in just tbe right spot to control the commerce between tbe isthmus of Panama and our Atlantic ports.

Then there it the Midway group, it the Pacific, 1,800 miles west of the Hawaiian islands, where onr government once spent $50,000 in trying to create a sheltered harbor and then practically abandoned it.

In

we should desire to own an

island or a group in tbe south Atlantic or the Caribbean sea, what would be available? We know that nearly all the beet points for strategic operation*, gen­

erally speaking, are owned by Great Britain. She has tbe Bermudas, tbe Bahamas, Jamaica, St. Kitts, Antigua, Barbados, Trinidad and St. Lucia. The first and the last are almost impregnably fortified and provisioned against a siege of any possible duration.

France owns Martinique and Guadeloupe, wbicb, while not so well fortified, are still very strong. Spain owns Cuba and Puerto Rico, both fortified to the extent of her ability, but mainly with ancient forts and obsolete guns. Her forte, as we have bad sad reason for knowing, is a defense by means of torpedoes and submarine mines. Sbe will not, cannot, rely upon her fortresses and batteries. But she has guarded those old structures with jealoas eye ever since tbe memory of man. I myself have made frequent attempts to photograph them, but have always been frustrated. Not half her harbors in Cuba are fortified, however, and of those in Puerto Rico only that of San Juan has sufficient water for her fleets. This is safe and sheltered at all times, and large ships may anchor in it in from three to six fathoms. It is out of the question, of course, to think of any Spanish island, except it shall fall to us through force of arms.

Available Islands.

The only valuable and possibly available islands with good harbors are owned by Haiti, Santo Domingo and Denmark Those which would be to us most desirable are tbe flrst and tbe last named. Off tbe north coast of Haiti is tbe famous buccaneer island of Tortuga, with an iron bound coast, pierced by one channel on its north side, giving acoess to a landlocked harbor sufficient for ships of not over 14 to 16 feet draft. Its Btrategio position is undoubted, as it commands the Windward passage, the only channel between Haiti and Cuba, and which is taken by all vessels bound for and from Jamaica and the isthmus. If we build the Nicaragua canal some time in the future, a station here would command all the commerce between that point aod our Atlantic coast. Tortuga would be invaluable as an outpost, but southeast of that island is one that meets our requirements in every particular. This is the Mole San Nicolas, with capacious, landlocked harbor a mile and a half broad, an inner port, or "oarenage," where the largest vessels may lie with safety, and an excellent watering place. This is the port par excellence to command tbe western Caribbean, but tbe difficulty in tbe way of obtaining it lies in the absolute refusal of tbe Haitian government to alienate any portion of its territory.

Eastward, indenting the coast of tbe same island, though in the Dominican part of it, is the great and beautiful bay of Samana. Tbe gulf itBelf is 80 miles long and from eight to ten miles wide, bat tbe navigable obannel to it is less than a mile in width and conld be easily defended by the erection of smal ports on tbe headland. The main shi' channel oarries eight to ten fathoms of water as far as the protected inlet off the town of Santa Barbara, where is good anchorage in five to eight fathoms of water. This, Samana bay proper, is protected from the open gulf by several beautiful islets, whioh praotioally furnish a sheltered harbor a mile deep and from a quarter to half a mile wide.

A Question of Cash.

Samana bay can be acquired provided a price is offered sufficiently large to tempt tbe cupidity of the president of Banto Domingo, who is well known to have what is called "the itching palm," and would probably part with it for less tban would have to be appropriated for tbe Danish group. This latter, comprising tbe islands of St. Thomas, St. John and Santa Cruz, has the advantage over Samana of beiug farther to the eastward, and so commanding tbe commerce of tbe eastern Caribbean and tbe north and east coasts of South America. Of the three Santa Cruz is tbe most fertile and productive, but of the least value as a station, having no good harbor. St. John t»as one magnificent harbor, Coral bay, but little known. St. Thomas is tbe objective point, or would be, provided a purchase were contemplated, since it has one of tbe best harbors in tbe world, almost entirely landlooked, commanded on three sides by high hills susceptible of impregnable fortification.

It is now 30 years since we bnngled in our attempts to secure this group of islands. The purchase price, $7,600,000. had been agreed upon, and the king of Denmark had even sent a farewell to his subjects there. But for some reason negotiations were broken off, and the old king had to take his islands back. This is the possible stumbling block in the way of* future negotiations if we were to decide in favor of their acquisition. It is now two years last January since Mr. Lodge submitted to tbe senate the following resolution: "Resolved, That the committee on foreign re-

lations be directed to inquire and! report to tbe senate whether the islands of St. John and St. Thomas, in the West Indies, oan now be purchased from tbe Danish government, as provided by tbe treaty signed in Copenhagen in October, 1867.'*

KEPOETING BATTLES.

A BRANCH OF NEWSPAPER WORK IN WHICH MANY WISH TO ENGAGE

Ih'eBls Dailies Bare of rate Been Flooded With Applications For War Correspondent's Job—Services That Have I*d to Great Success—Sea Fights.

[Special Correspondence.]

NEW YORK, April 18.—Applications for places as war correspondents began to pour in upon the managing editors of the big daily papers here by the score a month or more ago and not from those already in the writing business only, but from men in almost every walk of life—bankers, brokers, merchants and professional men, many of whom have never made a line of copy unless in the way of an occasional "contribution to the editor" on some topic of perennial interest that could be signed "Veritas," "Old Subscriber" or

Vox Populi." Some of these men have offered to work for nothing in order to get tho chance to see real fighting at close range without sharing all the dangers of tbe men actually engaged, and a few have offered not only to turn in fkeir services free, but to pay all their personal expenses besides.

It is hardly neoessary to say, I presume, that no proposition of that sort could well be entertained by a managing editor who knows his business. Correspondence from "the front" is undoubtedly by far the most important work "on the paper" in time of war, and it would never do to intrust it to a novioe or a man who values his time so lightly as to be willing to devote it to a task that carries with it no compensation.

Whitelaw Reid, editor and chief owner of the New York Tribune, won his first recognition by his letters from the front Bigned "Agate." Henry Villard, now chief owner of the peace loving New York Evening Post and with a financial record as long as your arm, was a civil war correspondent. So also were Edmund Clarence Stedman, tbe gray whiskered, dudelike poet banker of these days W. F. G. Shanks, whose clipping bureau is subscribed to "by all who wish to see how often their names are in print Henry M. Stanley, subsequently African explorer and now a member of the British parliament

Amos J. Cummings, now serving in the house of representatives George W. Smalley, tbe American correspondent of tbe London Times John Russell Young, at present chief cook in the magnificent home of tbe Congressional library, and a score or more of others whose names are only slightly less well known, to say nothing of the many who no longer survive.

It is too early yet for any of those making up tbe groups of professional war correspondents brought into being by the Chinese-Japanese war or the present war in Cuba to show such solid success as that attained by any of those mentioned above, but a dozen or more of these youngsters have already attained a degree of fame that they could by no means have reached through any sort of newspaper writing save war correspondence.

Sylvester Scovel, whose dispatches from Cuba to the New York World have now been a feature of that paper for two or tbree years, is a fair example of this. He is a clever, dashing sort of chap who would perhaps have succeeded in winning a fair measure of journalistic success, including "signature," in any circumstances, but he could not by any possibility have succeeded in making his name as well known as it is had he not had tbe opportunity to write about such exciting topics as the mortal conflicts of men and the fortunes of war.

The case of Karl Decker, who planned the rescue of Miss Cisneros, the Cuban beauty, from a Havana prison in behalf of the New York Journal, is another parallel. Tbe great world had never heard anything about Decker before that achievement, and until then be used to beg the newspapers to take his writings, but since that achievement be has not only found plenty to do, but he is a liv-

""iCitog ^gbf&sSld of coarse be -vastly different from reporting a fight on land. Naval engagements in midocean or far from land could be reported only by men on board one of the vessels engaged in combat unless indeed the newspaper employing the correspondent were enterprising and daring enough to furnish him with a fast steam vessel of its own, from the decks of which the fight might be seen. Much war correspondence descriptive of both naval and land battles has bees done in the past bj.officers of tbe forces engaged, and undoubtedly journalistic history will repeat itself in this respect. At the same time regular newspaper men will undoubtedly be allowed on board (Jncle Sam's ships whenever they fight in the future, but it goes without saying that they will have to be men of known integrity and trustworthiness aa well as ability.

Prehistoric Dentistry.

George Byron Gordon, the explorer, contributes an article on "The Mysterious City of Honduras" to The Century. The article gives an account of discoveries at Copan. Mr. Gordon says:

No regular burying place has yet been found at Copan, but a number of isolated tombs l^ve been explored. The location of these v^s strange and unexpected—beneath tncMlfegement of courtyards and under the ^lltepdations of houses. They consist of smli^hambers of very excellent masoriiry, roofed sometimes by means of tbe horizontal arch and sometimes by means of slabs of stone resting on the top of the vertical walls. In these tombs one and sometimes two interments had been made. The bodies had been laid at full length upon the floor. The cerements had long since moldered away, and the skeletons themselves were in a crumbling condition and give little knowledge of the physical- characteristics of the people but one fact of surpassing interest came to light concerning their private lives— namely, the custom of adorning the front teeth with gems inlaid ii* the enamel and by filling. Although not all of the sets of teeth found had been treated in this way, there are enough to show that the practice was general, at least among the upper olasses, for all the tombs opened, from their associations with prominent houses, seem to have belonged to people of rank and fortune. The stone used in the inlaying was a bright green jadeite. A circular cavity about one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter was drilled in the enamel of each of the two front teeth of the upper row and inlaid with a little disk of jadeite, out to a perfeot fit and secured by means of a bright red cement.

Three Lives Saved.-

Two Parisian gendarmes were Walking along the banks of the Canal d'Ouroq one day, says La Gazette Aneodotique, when they oame across a beautiful Russian deerhound, evidently astray. On his collar was nothing exoept what was evidently his. name-— "Dimitri."

Tying a stout cord to his neok, the polioemen led him along with them, meaning to take him to the pound. Destiny seemed to be luring him to his death, for unless he were claimed within a week or two he would surely be asphyxiated according to law.

Suddenly '•be trio arrived at the Duai de la Marne, where a large crowd had collected. A child had fallen into the water and ^as drowning, while its mother was running up and down, crying in agony: "Oh, save my child! W,bo will save my obild?"

Finally a man named Emil Nollf: jumped into the stream and swam out to the boy. Incumbered with his clothing, he was seized in a frantio grasp by the struggling child, and both were disappearing, to the horror of the spectators, when like a flash of light Dimitri sprang into the canal. He bad bitten his rope through.

In two minutes the drowning pair were at the side of the canal, where willing hands drew them from the water. In the excitement of the work of resuscitation the bystanders forgot the dog. When at last they looked around for him, he had disappeared. His captors never saw him again, and there were tbree lives saved.

Highest Office In America.

The power of the speaker of the house of representatives has steadily increased from the fir. fc congress to the present and in its influence on national legislation is believed by many even to excocd that exerted by the president. Samuel J. Randall, through whom tbe influence of tbe speaker was increased hi ore largely than by any other man in this country, once said: "I came to consider that tho speakership was the highest office within the reach of American citizens that it was a grand official station, great iu tne honors which it conferred aud still greater in the ability it gave to impress on our history aud legislation the stamp of truth, fairness, justice and right."

Great as are the powers of tbe speaker of the house of representatives, and potent for good or evil as are the committees appointed by him, it is pessimistic to attribute to either or to both a measure of power detrimental to the fature weal of the nation. In continual contact with the people and observant of the glaring publicity that causes frequent leversals of public opinion, it is safe to say that future congresses, if they should initiate legislation of an objectionable character, would ultimately enact such laws as will harmonize with the intelligent wishes of the people and tend to tbe highest development of the republic.—General A. W. Greely, U. S. A., in North American Review. BJfM

FIBROID TUMOR CONQUERED,

Expelled by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound—Strong1 Statement from Mrs. B. A. Lombard.

One Of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the conquering of woman's dread enemy, Fibroid Tumor. The growth of these tumors is so sly that frequently their presence is not suspected until they are far advanced.

If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or displacement, don't wait for time to confirm your feu's and go through the horrors of a hospital operation secure Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound right away and begin its use.

Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., will give you her advice free of all charge if you will write her about yourself. Your letter will be seen by women only, and you need have no hesitation, about being perfectly frank.

Read what MRS. B. A. LOMBARD, Box 71, Westdale, Mass., says:

How General Joe Wheeler Was Captured.

Geueral Wheeler had a most exciting Bervioe throughout the war. He has told me how his horses were shot under him again and again and how he escaped without injury, although he always rode at the head of his troops. Of all the oommanders under Jefferson Davis be stuck closest to him. He was with Davis when the cabinet moved from Richmond to Cokesborough, N. C., and he then had eight brigades of oavalry. He told Davis that the soldiers considered the war was over and that he had trouble in holding his troops together. Davis did not agree with him, and he ordered 16,000 horseshoes sent there to equip his troops for flight through the south.

A short time later, however, when he got ready to fly, Wheeler was about the only commander who could get soldiers to go with him, and it was little General Joe who followed the Confederate president with a troop of 500 men. Davis and his cabinet soon saw, however, that their hope was a forlorn one, and they sent orders to Wheeler to disband his troops and take care of himself. This Wheeler did and a short time later was captured by the Union troops and was sent with Jefferson Davis north to prison. Alexander Stephens and Postmaster General Reagan were taken with him, and on the way north General Wheeler says that Stephens thought he was going to sure death. He said as muoh to General Wheeler, and the general replied, "Well, Mr. Stephens, if this is to be your fate, what must be that of President Davis?" Alexander Stephens raised his bands and replied: "Oh, don't speak of thatl His fate is too horribljB to consider." General Wheeler said be had no idea he would be killed, and the way he joked about the matter of their joint imprisonment horrified Alexander Stephens. St. Louis Republio.

A Hint to the Girls.

A bachelor philosopher remarks that "no man ever wants to kiss a girl after he has once seen hsr hold a nickel the conductor has given her for change between her teeth while sbe gets her purse open," and he further intimates that such a girl is only fit to kiss a pug dog. Of course bachelors are not always responsible critics.—Boston Globe.

to think that I would not be here now if it had not been for Lydia

E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It cured me of a fibroid tumor in my womb Doctors could do nothing for me, and they could not cure me at the hospital. I will tell you about it. I had been in my usual health, but had worked quite hard. When my monthly period "came on I flowed very badly. The doctor gave me medicine, but it did me no good. He said the flow must be stopped if possible, and he must find the cause of my trouble. Upon examination he found there was a fibroid tumor in my womb, and gave me treatment without any benefit whatever. About that time a lady called on me and recommended Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound said she owed her life to it. I said I would try it, and did. Soon after the flow became more natural and regular. I still continued taking the Compound for some time. Then the doctor made an examination again, and found everything all right. The tumor had passed away, and that dull ache was gone."
