It is satisfactory to know, however, that England seems to be preparing vigorously for all eventualities. Mr: Goschi has asked for fourteen millions for naval defence, ten millions of pounds sterling to be devoted to the addition to the Navy, before the end of 1899, of five battle-ships, thirteen cruisers and twenty- right torpedo-bost destroyers, Five thousand men are to be added to the strength of the Navy, £850,000 is to be expended on guns and ammunition, and two millions and a quarter on docks at Gibraltar. The Navy League is evidently doing good, and the Government seems to be duly impressed by the gravity of the situation in Europa and in America. There, too,, we see Indications of trouble. Both the Senate and the House of Repre- sentatives have passed a resolution calling on the President to accord to the Cuban Insurgents all the rights of belligerents. Mr. CLEVELAND may, and probably will, refuse to do so. His last Message was very clear and very emphatic on the point, The Insurgents, however successful in various encounters with the Spanish troops, have apparently no organised or settled government. It is difficult to say that there is any central authority with whom any foreign govern- blance between the armed bands now ment could treat.
