list of each country. All wooden vessels
and other obsolete craft may be counted
out of the comparison at once. Similarly
the great number OF small gunboats thai
Spain has built for service In the waters OF
her colonial possessions may be wholly
ignored. They would cut no figure In a
war with the United States. because II they
were near enough to our coasts to receive
any attention from us at all we should sink
them or capture them with much more
powerful craft. Some OF our old ships
even a few now in commission-would have
no part in any sea fight, and therefore
they are not reckoned In as part Of our
naval strength.

Practically the fighting strength Of the
Spanish navy lies in the following named
vessels
