WHILE COAL Is KING.

The question of supplying coal
to war ships is not even second in
importance to a supply Of shot,
shells and powder. The modern
warship does not carry a stitch of
sail, and the quantity Of coal cons
summed rises with the speed de~
manded. Increased speed is the
result Of increased draught in the
furnaces, and increased draughts
means increased consumption of
coal.
But warships have small coal.
carrying capacity. Even such a
ship as the Oregon cannot take on
more 5han 1900 to 1850 tons at
a time, and the aunboats~can take
from 200 tons down to 100 tons.
It is SO in all navies-in the
Spanish navy as well. None Of the
Spanish ships can take nor than
1900 IONS. and if any Of them at
tempted to steam across the At
lantic ut the rate of fifteen knots
an hour every pound of coal
would be consumed before ar
rival. They can cross at q speed
of ten knots, and have some left
Upou arrival here, but none Of
them would have enough left to
carry them back to Spain. The
Alphonso XIII. SPANS Iargest
cruiser, would burn 600 tons, if
she steamed across at q speed Of
fifteen knots, and she cannot car
~ that much coal. The Pelayo,
her largest battlezhip. would
consume 800 tons, steaming at the.
rate Of ten knots, and she could
not return without coaling.
When Porto Rico is closed to
Spanish ships, Spain has no base
Of fuel supply on this side of the
sea; England will not sell her
coal for warlike purposes. nor
will Denmark at the island CT St.
Thomas, and she is practically
declared from coming here, IN
less indeed she can come here in
force sufficient TO raise The block
ade OF either Havana or San
Juan. No country can safely
fight far away from It's fuel sup
ply, le4st Of all Spain. 4 brief
study of the coal question shows
how hazardous it would be to

The nervous fears Of coast peo-F

they would ascertain both thes
