THE INFLUENCE OF A NAVAL
ENGINEER UPON AN
ACTION AT SEA.
Bagineering says the influence of the naval engineer upon the result of an action can scarcely be uger estimated. The first essential of a modern warship is theit she shaft be able to steam as and when required, in conformity with the wishes of her commander, based upon the expectations as to her powers which had been created by the official data supplied to rin. Any failure of duty on the part of the engineer, or lack of efficiency of the machinery, might render it imposible to place or maintain the ship in a position for effective action, or to make of her armament. Therefore, the. whole of the potential powers of the entire fighting machine
are dependent fur their active development upon the mobility of the ship and the workability of her ment for both of which the engineer is primarily re-insible. In artion, the engine. romm stålt closed down below the protective deck, amid a siding atotosphere, are called upon to priform dunes upon which the whole utility cut safey of the ship may deprad. The

If Prieska and Griquatown were cleared, and the two columns at work there were to join and march by this northward road, they might strike the railway by Taungs, where they would get in behind the Boer position at Fourteen Streams, relieve Mafexing, Vryburg, Kuruman, and the Bechuanaland country, and clear the line for the advance of the great column which, when the time came, would strike across easy country by the Jameson Raid roule, direct for Pretoria and the vitals of the Transvaal.

STARTLING KEPORT ON THE.
PHILIPPINE WAR.
NEW YORK, Tuesday, May 1st, One of the most important 'ssues in the com ing Presidential campaign will be the question whether or not the United States shall retain possession of the Philippines and continue the new Imperial policy. At present the outlook is extremely discouraging for Imperials."
Despite the stringent censorship main. tained by the American authorities in Manila, unpleasant truths are continually leaking out and revealing a deplorable state of affairs.
An important statement has just been made. by Judge Canly, who recently returned from a visit in the Philippines as respresentative of the Minnesota State Governinent. Judge Canty says
They were only just out and conscious of being late, and naturally jumped at so en-
"The war in the Philippines has now lasted otaging a theory. Pitsani Potlogo, they reminded one another, was the name of the nearly two years, necessitating an army of place Jameson started from. The magic of 65,000 men, and a cast of over 4,000 American that name reconciled them to the thought of a lives. The Americans, however, only possess week or two's preliminary rebel-hunting. Andalanila and the small piece of comiguous they started gaily off for Griquatown via territory. The insurgents occupy all the inter- vening space, and maintain unceasing guerilla warfare, even prowling within three miles of Manila.
Schmide's Drift.
When the advance party reached the drift they found that the Boers had walked over and seized it, establishing themselves with guns in
very strong position on the other side. To force the passage of the river in the face of this position would be an expensive, n'very expen- sive, business, and Lord Methuen had already bad all the Magersfonteins be desired.
So the column struck across country to Barkly West, where we held the excellent bridge over Vaal, and, crossing there, went through Barkly, and, following for a time the great north road from Kimberley, arched over diamondiferous ground along the northern bank of the Vaal, intending to get to Griqua town that way.
DISAPPOINTMENT.
"Our soldiers also necupy many towns on
the coast and in the interior, but the outposts are everywhere unsafe and the subject of con- stant attacks.
|
"All the native tribes except a small band of | Macabebes and the Sulu Mahommedans are against us, and hate the Americans worse than the Spaniards. There is no individual Filipino army-merely guerilla bands lurking in the dense jungles, always retreating and returning to attack.
"The American, soldiers are undergoing terrible hardships, and are a prey to deadly tropical diseases..
Many of the wealthiest Filipipos, are secretly in league with the rebels. Aguinaldo, the Filipino leader, is, still at large and con stantly helping to spread the insurrection.
Many competent-military experts, added Judge Canty, regard the conquest of the Philippines as hopeless, and declare that it would take an army of half a million men ten years to suppress the insurrection. Even then the work would not be perinatant."
Information from a trustworthy source sug. gests that a still further advance is imminent in the price of Welsh coal. A Cardiff fina who are coal shippers and "del cendere" agents for several of the largest Welsh pit owners in
