HOW HAVANA COULD BE TAKEN
One Fleet of $50 Guns Too Strong for
Spain's Squadron.

From The New York Herald.
What would be the tactics OF the Ameri-
can admiral who might be called upon 10
make az attack upon Havana with a fleet?
without suggesting that such an event IS
within the range of possibility, The Herald
presents herewith n bird's-eye view of the
harhor and surroundings of the Cuban CAPT
tai to show what would be the aim of the
attacking force.
1t will be seen that. while the entrance
to the harbor of Havana is narrow, with
commanding post ons for guns. the city
itself IS wholly within range of ships out
at sea. OF course, no bomhardment, for the
sake Of destroying the city, would he per
mitted by public sentiment in the United
States But inasmuch rash ana choleric
Spauiards have threatened TO lay New
York in ashes in case OF war between tho
United States and Spain, it is worth while
to show how vulnerable Havana Is 10 a SIM
liar fate.
The forts guarding the entrance to Ia
vana are more imposing in appearance than
they are dangerous in reality. MORO castle,
on the east side OF the main channel is
an antiquated fertilization, mounting only
a few modern guns. Further along, on the
same side of the harbOr, is Cabana castle,
also having an ancient appearance. Oppo-
site MORO castle. at the entrance is Castle
De Ia Punta, Of little or no account as a
fort West of the latter, on the sea front,
IS the Queens battery. mounting mostly
old and ineffective guns. Sul further TO
the westward. however, is the Santa Clara
battery. which contains two modern high
power brcech loading rifles. and which is
doubtless intended for u considerable addi-
ton TO Is present strength.
Havana harbor is like purse with a big
net and q small mouth. There is more than
thirty feet of water in the channel and up
