WHY SPAIN HAS' LOST HER COLONIES.

- M. Paul Ginest, in an Indo-Chipere contem- porary, diren wer this ques lon, and finds that the prime cause has lala lo an unwite effɔit to produce administrative assimilacion with the mother country losterg et developlog a system of prudent antonomy. After referring to the war, and a possible settlement, be says :-

But whatever be the solution, durable or olber- wise, that may Intervene, is it not more useful and more lateresting to enquire into the Colosla! political system of Spain, into the methods of administration and organisation #pplied by our neighbours to their Colonies, and to see whether there is not something that can contribute to ex- plain why and how Spalo has 1 st, now sixty two years ago, the greater part of that marvellous emple on which, for two centuries, the na never set; and to noto how to-day she is renaced with the danger of seeing fall from her hands that Pearl of the Antilles whose riches and brillance consoled her a Unile for the ancient grandeur in America

A primary and Important general statement presents fixed and should especially impress itself upon us. Doying the rise of the Immanue Hispano-American édifice, and in proportion to the increase and prosperity of these vice royalties, which at the end of the eighteenth century counted nearly twenty millions of Inhabitants and whose gold and rich products flowed steadily into Spalo, the Spacish mother-country was already seen gradually to decrease both in Its own population and la its own prosperity,

The lesson in obvious. Old lyre arm=ments, whether sfloat or ashore, ar0 galte incapable of effectively opposing modern weapons. The Spanish squadron was unfit in every way for purposes of war, The flagship wax scarcely equal to our Active, 'the 'wanden Cortilla was hardly a fighting ship. In a defen- sive action fought with non-smcksicas powder in enclosed waters torpedo craft might possibly have found opportualties, and two torpedo-bosti, or more probably isanches, attempted in vain to reach their opponents.

"SPAIN AND AMERICA.

THEIR RELATIVE STRENGTH IN SOLDIERE, SAILORS, MONEY ANDY POPULATION,

The question of the hour is without doubt the struggle between the United States and Spain. It must be patent to everyone that to carry on war nowadays, successfully or not, the watloss in dispute must be quite sure that their coffers ara well-filled, and that they can be replenlaked If necessary at command,

If money mikes the mare to go it makes the horse of war gallop, and it may be re garded as a guarantes of gool faith that that nation which hai the biggest banking account to its credit stends the mast ilkely charco of winning.
