OTTAWA, July 25. (Received July 25, at 10.30 p.m.)
Newspapers in various parts of the dominion criticise as rather humiliating the gratification expressed by the Australian press regarding the proposal of the United States to station part of its fleet to protect the Pacific.
. The Conservative newspapers decline to cbnsidor such gratification seriously, holdingl that the Empire is still well able to protect its own interest in any part of the globe.
"One journal announces that the Canadian Government is considering a scheme ■for-coastal defences on the Pacific and -Atlantic coasts; auxiliary to the proposed gifts of dreadnoughts.
'General Sir Lan Hamilton has been engaged to report to the Government on the question.
