GOING FOR THE WRONG END.

The Eagle is happy to find IN IT'S own
disnatcbes of yesterday morning con-
fruatory evidence of the fact that the
strategic board and the great daily OF
south Kansas and Oklahoma is in &C
cord touching one thing at least, and
that is the dispatching Of a naval fleet
to European waters. Says Washing
ton dispatch, an officer of the war de-
partment states that an American
squadron of war vessels will be sent to
the coast of Spain to harrass the coast
cities along the Mediterranean TWO
weeks ago, and again yesterday the
Eagle urged the apparent wisdom or
common sense of such a demonstration
Spain stands in need Of such an object
lesson and the sensation of it would
prove highly beneficiary to the cavillng
powers of Europe.
So far, so good. But there is an
other matter over which the American
people have evidenced a feeling that
springs from the profoundest convic-
ton. In heartily endorsing the war to
free Cuba from a ruthless rule Of mede-
vial methods, and desiring its vigorous
prosecution as the surest way Of reach
ing a satisfactory and speedy peace.
they expected and demanded the cap
ture Of Cuba and the driving Of the
Spanish forces from the soil, not by
the bombardment of San Juan in Porto
Rico, nor by the investment of the
eastern end Of the island, but by the
demolition and reduction of Havana
through a combined attack from sea
and land. In the fall of the capital Of
Cuba and its Notifications, Spain falls,
and peace is at once assured. What
ever may be the calculations Of inter
ested officials or contractors and CAPT
talists, whatever the wish of officers
under big pay, the desire Of the Ameri-
can people, as also the desire Of the
men, the volunteer-privates who must
stand the brunt of the great sacrifice,
is for speedy peace. 1t might be posi-
bic that Spain can be brought to terms
by the invasion of Porto Rico and the
conquest of the Philippines, but every
body recognizes that as quick as that
Is done which we started out to do in
the first place, the reduction and cap
ture of Havana, the end will have been
attained.

sWIFTER BATTLEsHlPs.

The only criticism heard of the Amer
lean avy has been touching the slow
ness Of its battleships. Its cruisers and
torpedo boats are fast, but the great
ocean batteries are no match for speed
for even SPANS first class vessels.
The board Of construction Of the navy
department has decided that the three
new battleships Just provided for by

TO 10 knots Commodore Melville. chief

sued by the navy department to pre-

that the board Of construction has

persist in maintaining. W +. Stanley
is in the race for governor of Kansas
as the nominee Of the Republican state
convention, the party platform Of
which convention makes no mention Of

CERVERA'S CHANGES.

! It is an unheard of undertaking,
something not found in the annals of
warfare, that of attempting the cap
ture of a naval fleet by a land force.
Besides the disadvantages of an inva-
sion, invading a strange country of
hills and dense underbrush, with an un-
seen enemy to reckon with, and the
heavy land batteries known to be plant
ed about the bay of Santiago, there is
| in addition SPANS strongest fleet of
frst-class armored vessels, with first
class gNAas commanding all the APP
proaches to the bay. Eastern Cuba is
a wild, uncultivated country of few
and poor roads, and were the Spanish
forces overcome in open battle or sur
rounded or captured, there will remain
the ships and forts. The country nor
the town are of any Importance to our
army. 1t is Cervera and his fleet
which are Wantod. The fleet is bot
tled' and would be harmless if it re-
manned bottled. But despite the sink
ing of the Merrimac and the patrol of
warships on the outside, Cervera may
make a dash for liberty, and by taking
desperate chances get away with a
good portion of his vessels. That he
will make such an attempt is feared. 1t
is hardly probable that he will remain
in a trap cornered like so many rats.
possession of commanding positions
about the bay and mount ordnance
heavy enough to disturb the equanimi-
ty of Cervera, or during the engagement
which now seems inevitable, the Span
ish admiral is almost sure to make a
dash for liberty. Once in open water
he Will prove too fast for our heavy
vessels. He must do this or in suffer-
ing from a starvation siege first aban-
don and then sink his ships. There is
but one chance, however, that Cervera
will not some night soon make a dash
for the open sea, and that is coal It
is not known whether he has fuel. If
there had been coal at Santiago there
is wanting the explanation why he re-
manned inside the harbor for a longer
time than was necessary to take it on
before getting safely away. The Wis
caya, Almirante Oquendo, the Infanta
Maria Theresa and the Cristobal Colon
at least are not vessels which can be
sunk or even crippled by the penetra-
ton of a single shot They are the
best that Spain boasts and are really
first class, armored and protected, and
would be hard to stop on a dark night
Some attribute to Cervera a lack Of
nerve But Dewey says that Montojo
fought like a demon, and Cervera Is
accounted no less brave.
There may be confidently expected
stirring times in and around the Bay IF
Santiago within short time and the
situation is not entirely free from ap-
prehension of grave difficulties. Still
it is evident that the authorities at
Washington are confident that Ger
vera canot escape.

greater interest in naval matters this
year than it has ever taken since the
gallant exploits of 1872 If it is Gnce
clearly understood that the three new
est battleships for which its represen-
tatives have appropriated funds are 10
speed than the latest European battle
ships. a general protest will certainly
be made against the decision Of the
naval construction board.
It ought not to be necessary. in the
light OF the events of the past two
months, to explain to any American
reader the enormous advantage of high
speed in naval warfare. Had Spain s
Cape Verde fleet of 20-knot armored
cruisers been able to take in full
equipment Of coal and supplies at any
port on this side of the Atlantic and
then start out on a cruise. we should
have had an illustration and a pretty
costly one of the value of high speed.
In concluding its able and exhaustive
Engineering News says that in the
criticism we have made we are ex-
pressing no opinion as to the wisdom
of increasing the size of our navy. We
are by no means inclined to join in the
popular clamor which urges that we
compete with the greatest European
nations in our naval establishment.
What we do urge is that the weak
places in our naval forces which the
present war has brought to public at
tention, shall be strengthened, and that
every new vessel we build shall be at
least as good in every respect as the
latest vessels of its type abroad. We
have no hesitation in saying that if our
new battleships cannot be placed at
least on par with the best of foreign
navies, it will be better for the reputa-
ton of the United States navy not to
build them at all.
