The flew of the defeat, while not unexpected, because of the reports Which have recently emanated from Cbperlhugeu, wag keenly disappoint- ing to the adminIetratlon. But this reverse 1n the attempt of the United States to gain addition- al strength in the Carrlbbean-which 1s every hour gaining in world po- licies Importance -it 1e thought lr evidence that European ponvers are ready to block this policy. No Enrolean power can gain pos- sersioh of the Danish West Indies because of the pruhlbitione of tho Monroe Doctrine. In International polities, however, Germuwy has gen- erally been credited with a desire that Denmark become 0 part of the German confederation, In which event the Banish Rest Indies would aaturalle pass Into German con- trol. This possibility has long been a Krung )loliticni consideration. ALUMINUM AS A LIFESAVER. Novel Craft of a Norwegian Inventor is Picked Up. TAKEN TO DOVER BY A TUG.
