IMPROVEMENTS.

Ir is pleasing to nute that improvements centioue to be made in our city. That of Rochford Square isa notable one. An unwholesome swamp at the lower endof it has been filled, the walks have been nicely graded, trees planted and the whole made attractive and creditable. Taxpayers like to see good value for their money. We hear little objection tothe cost of Victoria ;Park roadway, even though it was greater than was anticipated, and we hope that the work of extending the road- way tothe junction with Brighton Road will proceed in due time, as the resources of the city will permit, without adding to the city’s debt. It was reported at one time that that partof the civic revenue which is usually expended in the macad.- amizing of streets would thie year be di- verted to the completion of the work on the Park, begun last year. But this idea seems to have been abandoned, probably because it was found that the breastwork is still sourd and thatthe money might be be:ter expended eleewhere. A very good alternative would be the erection of s stone bridge at the head of Government Pond to replace Black Sam’s Bridge. The latter ugly, old structure is incompatible

with the fine new houses in the neighbor-

hocd, end discreditable to the oily of which it is one of the chief means of sp* proach. All who visit the Park usually pass over it either in going or coming, and it is noted by strangers and an eyesore to citizeus proud of their city. If, therefore, our city councillors can see their way clear to the erection of a permanent stone bridge, we feel sure that the citizens will applaud. In this connection, the question of Government Pond forces itself to the front. Ifthis pond were in almost apy city on the maiuland, it would be a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Here, itis a continual offence to the eye,—and it is not nfrequently an offence to the nostril. We think that farmers might be induced in the winter time to clean it out for the sake of the manure that isin it, and thatit might then be kept fresh and clean at small expense. If the border of it were railed off, anda few ducks and swans placed in it in summer, it would then be one of the attractions of the city, —and to make the city attractive, is, as we have repeatedly pointed out, a matter of the first importance to citizens—par- ticularly to the owners of property. We are aware that some doubts exist as to the rights of the city inthe premises, But we know that all the property included in iovernment Pond and farm originally belonged to the city, and cannot imagine that those in whom it is pow vested, would raise any ol jection to reasonable improvements, not inconsistent with the comfort and privacy Lieutenant Governor for the time being. If it should atany future time be up as a place of residence for our Lieutenant Governors it wil! then in justice and as a matter of course, revertto the city from which it wastaken; and the corporation will do well if they shape their course towards this end.

Che construction of sewere will neces- sarily absorb the citizens’ chief attention in the course of the next two years, But other improvements which need not be made chargeable upon capital ought not to be lost sight of in the meantime.

POWER OF SAMPSON.

Carte Blanche to Tight the Philistines Wasninetun, June 9,—A suspicion is entertained in some quarters that Sampson was hastened in his movements at Santiago by the (news of the intended deyarture of the troops from Tampa, and made the at- tack in order that the navyalone might have the honour of effecting the first occu- pation on Cuban soil. It is likely that the iret troops of the regular army to take up * position ashore will be the engineers’ battalion, although they are so badly hampered by the heavy ‘siege guns they carry that they must be greatly delayed in making a landing. These guns, by the way, have given infinite trouble, for the transports that were hastily chartered were #0 lightly coustructed as to require a great deal of strengthing before the great masses of steel could be safely placed on them.

The extent of Sampeon’s attack cn the Santiago defences has brought out one j fact very clearly, namely, that he has practically unlimited power ss to the time and character of an attack, and that he is unhampered by restrictions from Washington. Theexact nature ot his orders has never been made public, but a naval official in a position to know what they are, said that Sampson had greater power conferred upon bim than ever had been given to any commander-in- chief.

In the present case the authorities have laid down the general ends to be attained in Cuba aud Porto Rico, and the war board has supplemented this with every iofor- mation which could assist the commander: in-chief; but beyond this Admiral Samp« son’s authority is practically without limit. Under these circumstances the naval authorities here have no means Of knowing when a battle is to be capected, or what the line of action is to be,

Thé cruiser Buffalo, lately the Nictheroy of the Brazilian navy, arrived in Hampton Roads today diréctly from Bresil, Ibe vessel, it is learned, is not yéi acitially on the naval lists. She bas been acquired subject to certain conditions that doubtless will be strictly fulfilled by the Brazilian government,but which have not been made known as yet. They are that the ship must be turned over in good condition as to hull and machinery.

BRITISH ADMIRAL’'S VIEWS.

Theories of the Advanced School of Naval Thinkers Not Followed by Sampson.

Loxpox, June 9.—Admiral Sir John Colomb writes as followa toa morning paper with reference to the situation at Sa.tiago de Cuba:—‘‘I am _ inclined to think that for the purpose of blockading tbe egress of a hostile war squadron this operation of sinking the Merrimae isa unique idea, thougn blockading up an enem:’s harbor by sinking ships at the entrance is not uew. What may be voted, however, with advantage, is that the peculiar policy of Admiral Sampson ia not the policy of greater smirale, expecially of Lord Nelson, which wasto tempta blockaded fleet to put to sea in order that it might be fallen upon and destroyed; for when this has been done a blockading fleet is relieved to carry out other duties,

“Sampsons wanis every ship that can be spared; and if the Spanish ships are really blocked in, much of his blockading force may be detached, Still our policy in a like case would not block the channel, and would only have ieft @ equadroa off Sav- tiago large enough to make a fair fizht, should Cervera determine to try his fortunes. Neverthelese, Admiral Samp- son’s actions cosfirms what naval men,}who are also students of naval history, have insisted upon—that the ea::y of warships into tae ports of ane:emy was no more like'y to be the practice of steamers than of sailing ships,

“Allthrough this war, however, what was expected ‘by the advanced +chool of naval thinkers,and a thing upon which indeed, much of our own policy has been founded, has been conspicuous by absence. Admiral Sampson has vev-r used his ‘orpedo boats as it was expec ed they would be ured. He bas never sent one ot them into a Cibar§port at night to destroy ships sich a3 m'ghi be fuasd at Santiago.

“It is plain that if a 3,000 ton snip could run into the varrowed partof 4 chaunel at night, little torpedo boats might have swarmed right through and into the inner harb-ura. What has caused the expectation of these advanced naval thinkers to bedisappo nted cannot yet be known, but uoless things alter befove the war is over we sha’l be found reconsideriag our policy in this regard.

“The officers and men of the Merrimac nave clearly acted withthe greatest yal- lantry; ond, quite possibly, Admiral Cer- vera’s recagnition of it may be a step-to-~ wards peace. ButI do not understand about Naval Constructor Hobson. Who- ever commanded the ship must have had great experience in pilotage. A naval architect has none. All the work to be done was, in a special sense, that of a naval officer, pure and simpls, and I cun- not understand anyone else being chosen.”

LA GRIPPE SCOURGE.

Who has not Be2n a Victim ?—Who ha. not had Just the Experience of Mr. Curtis ?—Who may not Have the Rel ef South American Nervine Afforded Him ?

“Asa resultof asevere attack of ia grippe IL euffered greatly from weakness aad loss of appetite. I saw testimonials of the curative powers of South American Nervine and determined to give it a trial for my case. Purchased it, and almost immediately began to improve. My strength returred to me very rapdl:. When I had taken three bottles I had developed a voracious appetite. Iam as well to-day as ever | was, aud am safein saying that | can attribute it t» South American Nervi: e acd no words of minein recomm nding itcould be too strong.” C. J. Curti-, Windsor, Oat.
