THE WAR.
Dissatisractioy is felt and expressed throughout the United States at the slow progress of the war. Nearly six weeks have elapsed since the Spanish minister abruptly left Washington; and though much has been spent and much done in the meantime, nothing to the purpose has been accomplished. The enccessful attack by Admiral Dewey upon the Spanish fleet at Manila was not to the purpose. It is felt that the Philippine Islands may, in~ deed, prove to be a white elephant upon the hands of Uncle Sam. He may, of course, manage to trade the islands oft to another power, But the chances are that their possession will lead to complica- tions involving a great deal of trouble and expense,—and no profit. Havana, almost within sight of the coast of Florida, is still untouched by American arms. The only detachment of soldiers and ammunition that has so farattempted to land upon Cutan soil was compelled to retire to Key Weet. Evidently it would be imprudent to send a raw and untrained army over to Cuba in sections; for the Spanish ficet under Cervera, still afloat and intact, might encounter and overcome the sections in rotation ; or, if one section should @ landing, the Spanish army in Cuba
might destroy it before another section could be brought to its aid. It appears that vessels have been
secured for the transport of only fifteen thousand troops at trip. If these fifteen thousand were veterans and well Jed, they might perhaps secure a footing in Cubs. But with the material at his command General Miles thinks that pru- dence is better than valor. In the mean~ time the strength of the army is constant- ly being increased. When the Preeident’s cal! shall have been fully responded to there will be two handred and eighty thousand men in the United State’s army ; and if the naval battle which seems to be imminent should prove to bz decisively favorable to the States, the American army will soun be in a position to set sail for Cuba, It will be seen by the judicious observer that there is good cause for the delay that has occured. But to all those Americans who confidently expected that the campaign would be short and brilliant, the s:ow course of the war is exasperating. Some of the papers are already begininug to sharply criticize the President and the commanding officers of the army and aavy 3 and al! the people are demanding a vigor- Qus prosecution of the war. It is hard to understand why a nation which has been denounced as bankrupt and fifth-rate shou'd give 80 much trouble to one that poses as a first-class power; and it is easy to be censorious. But events may happen in the course of the next few days or hours
one
which will change the critics’ tone from that of dissatiefaction to one of pride and
admiration.

THE ASYLUM MATTER.
Tne tone of the article and annonymous letter published by The Patriot, last even- ing, party desire the public to believe that the asy~ lum bungle is merely a little abble about. We, on the other hand maintain that the honour of the people of the whole Province is involved in it. Le} us see how it effects the public.
(1.) The additional accommodation re- quired by the wards of the Proyince in the asylum has not been provided, though the Government two years ago declared that it was then needed,
shows what the government
matter to aque
2. In addition to the inconvenience arie~
ing from overcrowded wards, thé curable patients are deprived of the constant attendance and care of the medical super- intendent without which cures cannot be effected,
3. Twenty-five dollars were borrowed for the special purpose of erect-
thousand
ing “‘an annex” to the Asylum,—the money has been spent and the building is not yet.
4. The Government have taken posees- sion of the materials placed upon the ground by Mr. Walter refuse alike to pay him for them or to give him authority to go on with the work.
It is to these points that we desire par, ticularly to direct public attention, inas- much asthe pnblic is interested in the payment of the debts contracted by the public, in the maintenance of the public
credit, and in the care and cure of the un~ fortunate persons confined in the hospital for the insane. But The Patriot declines to meet us upon these grounds. It strives to divert attention from the points at issue, and it does not dare to controvert the damaging statements of Mr. Walter Lowe.

‘Tie tures pul vi britisa providing coaling stations clong the lines of commerce throughout the world is now apparent to every one. It is seen that Great Britain is the only nation that is prepared for a war in which navies moved by steam are involved. An American at Washington points out that no nation Of Europe could hope to compete with Eng~ land in the Mediterranean. England com- monds the entrance to the Suez canal, and her coaling stations at the entrance to the Red Sea and at Sekrate Island, at the mauth of that sea, make her also the mistress of those waters. The public will recall the great ostentatton with which the German fleet, under Prince Henry, left for Asiatic waters several months ago. That fleet was obliged to coal at English coaling stations three times on its way to its desti- pation, and if England were to refuse to furnish Germany with coal to-morrow, Prince Henry’s fleet would never be able to get back. England has a number of coaling stations off the east coast of Africa, and in the Arabian Sea. They are the Island of Mauritius, off Madagascar, Cape Colony, Beluchistan, Bombay, Colom- bia, Ceylon and Calcutta. In the China Sea, England has a well-fortified coaling station nt Singapore. She has alco recently

Coming over to the west coast of America we find her strongly fortified and well supplied Vancouver. Islands, she has fortifications and plenty of coal, give her practically the command of the Straits of Magellan. St. Helena and Ascension Island, midway between the coaet of Brazil and the coast cf Africa, are hers, and they are also fortified and coaled. coast of Africa she has Bathurst, Sene~ gambia, and Monrovia. In the Caribbean Sea we find her in possession of fortitied coaling stations at Trinidad, Barbadoes, Jamaica, and Belixel, off the coast of Panama. Off the Atlantic coast, about opposite the city of Charlestown, she hag the Island of Bermuda, which has veen recently very strongly fortified, and where she has enough coal to supply one of her largest fleets fora considerable time. To the north she has coaliag stations and forts at Halifax and Quebec.

IS THE WITNESS RELIABLE. Sir,—If “ Anti-Slander,” in Friday’s Patriot, will take the mask off his tace and come out over his proper name [ will show him that the witness is reliable; and fur- ther, I will take no notice of a coward till he comes out over his signature. I have shown that Mr. Farquharson is guilty of misleadind and deceiving me; ard it is no use for “ Anti-Slander” to attempt to excuse him in a libellous anonymous ietter which J am not done with yet.
