AN AMERICAN VIEW OF THE TRANSVAAL CRISIS.

By way of warning to those British jingoes who with gaiety of heart are ready to enter upon a war with the Boers, a writer in the Fortnightly Review presents certain facts showing the comparative strength of British and Dutch In South Africa and revealing what kind of a contest Great Britain would have on her hands in that quarter of the globe if war should break out..

The writer points out that the Boon are close- ly united to the Dutch of the Orange Free State and of Cape Colony, not only by race and sy pathy but by, interests and aspirations. A fight anish between the Boers and the British to a therefore would certainly arouse against the emple the antagonism of fealing of all the Duich and might arouse their active enmity in battle. In other words, a war entered into lightly against the Transvaal may move all South Africa to strike for independence just as all the American colonies did when in the last century a fingo British Ministry under. took to deprive New England of her rights. Such being the crise, a showing of the com- parative military strength of the two races in South Africa is interesting. The writer for the Fortnightly estimates it in the different states as follows, the figures representing the numbers of armed men on each side-

not easy to obtain even by men who, as neutrals in Cuba, should be able to judge, For while the Dutch correspondent just quoted be. lieves that the wealthy Spanish Cubans would welcome annexation, the correspondent of The Weekly Register, London, thinks that "the Cubans, in spite of optimistic reports, are solidly against it." He says further:

"Despite the American Government's altruistic pledges, Cubans and Spaniards are alike distrustful of American intentions. There is no danger of revolt, though rebels would find no difficulty in arming themselves in the event Dutch, of a revolt. But suspicion is the daily bread of the Cubans.

Ocean' transportation for troops in our time is com- paratively easy, and Britain rules the 'waves, She can send ariny after army, if need be, for as the jingo chorua goes, She has the ships. she has the men, and she has the money, too." The

point of the warning is not that the Dutch can drive the British. flag from South Africa as it was driven from the United States a century ago, but that they can involve the empire in a serious war and make her empire so insecure that it will fall the first time Great Britain has a powerful enemy in Europe to confront.

It is not easy to set bounds to the degree of folly a nation may commit when flushed with the overweening confidence that is born of pride, power and prosperity. It has been a long time since the British people have been engaged in war of any difficulty, and they may be foolish enough in enter upon the subjugation of the Boers without counting the cost, but it is hardly likely. Such warnings as the one given are sure to have effect upon the minds af intelligent men. Mr. Chamberlain is a jingo, indiced-but-there-is-nothing in his career to justify a belief that he is a fool.-S. F. Call.

THE U.S. IN THE WEST INDIES.

The general tenor of the information received Abroad from Caba and Puerto Rico is that American military rule is, not welcome, and that an administration by politicians appointed From Washington, would be still less popular; yet there is a tendency to wait the decision of Congress before any attempt is made to obtain independence by main force: General Gomez's are regarded as in keeping with the opinion of most Cubans. He is reported to have said:

inde

"We have called in the help of a neighbouring people,and their interference has ended our late struggle. But no one could have thought that this memorable incident would be followed by a military occupation, by the troops of our allies, who now treat us as a people incapable of self-government, and have placed a yoke upon us which circumstances force us to bear. But that can not be our fate in the end. We must endeavour to assist, by peaceful methods, the work of reorganization begun by the Americans, a work as difficult for them as for us. Hence there must be unity, there must be but one party, under whose banner we will prove that the peace we have won is as honour. able as the war we have fought."

The great majority of Cubans, it is thought, want nothing so much as peace. "They want to work, to build up the homes that were destroyed, to retrieve their shattered fortunes," anys the Estrella de Panama. But many of those who ranked as officers during the re- bellion against Spain expect to be rewarded with government positions, and the presence of the Americans is not pleasing, to them. At present their influence seems to be small. The Cuban correspondent of the Lei, Santiago de Chile, says:

The Deutsche Tages Zeitung, Berlin, is informed that our troops on the island were anything but well cared for at first, and showed too great a tendency to "help themselves."
