She may lose Porto Rico. But so
long as she has feet on the sea
she is still in position to harass
us and work injury to our CON-
merce and to our trade, manufac-
ture and business at home.
1t is too late now to better the
situation. The government must
proceed cautiously, step by step,
doing but one thing at time and
taking the greatest care that the
most of the object attained in men
and ships shall be as slight as pos
sible. Every days prolongation
OF the war means hundreds OF
dollars lost to the country. Thus
prolonged, because the option OF
fighting is with the enemy, the
war will cost vastly more than a
navy as big as that OF France or
England, a navy OF sufficient
power to be aggressive all along
the line aud bring the Spaniard
quickly to terms as promptly as
we might wish rather than be sub.
mitting to his convenience. But
the chance to build that sort Of a
navy for. this war has been lost.
The country is safe. II is capa-
bic OF self-defence. But self-de-
ience is not fighting.
