ness OF the armor and the caliber of the
guns and, as of old, the fighting spirit Of
the men. In all these particulars America
has decided advantage. From sources
that are thoroughly reliable, it has been
ascertained that the fleet which Spain
would be ready to put to sea in the event
of an outbreak of war within one week
from date would be five thoroughly effic-
lent, well-equipped armored cruisers and
one able-bodied battleship. This powerful
fleet, 1t has been figured out, would have
total tonnage of 1900 tons displacement,
while the caliber and number of the guns
would be as follows:
Caliber. .12.5 n.O 9.5 60 5.5 81 40
The calber, as above, is in inches.
The speed of the war vessels would ave-
rage twenty knots an hour and the fleet
could make the trip to our seaports there
fore in very quick time. A hastily mobili-
lied American fleet that could be gotten
together at short notice to steam out and
report on the movements of the squadron
of Spain would consist of the cruisers
Columbia, New York and Brooklyn. Be-
hind them would be fleet of thirteen
vessels, including the monitors. The total
displacement of this fleet that the United
States could mobilize at short notice would
be S4,500 tons. Their speed would be from
twelve to twenty-five knots per hour, and

Nashville, Petrol, Wilmington, Yorktown,
Annapolis, Vicksburg, Newport Princeton,
Marietta and Wheeling.
In the special class are the training ship
Bancroft, dispatch boat Dolphin and the
dynamite cruiser Vesuvius.
OF torpedo boats the United States has
the Plunger (submarine), Foote, Rodgers,
Winslow, Porter, Du Pont, Rowan, Tai
bot and Gwin.
Outside of these there are at present
being built eleven others, which can be
gotten ready for service in a short time.
This shows, therefore, that at the first
outbreak of war Spain would have on hand
a fleet of thirty-two vessels, including tor
pedo boats. These ships would represent
a displacement of 76O02 tons, with 432 guns,
torpedoes on every vessel of the fleet, and
an equipment that, pitting point againt
point would be superior to that of the
United States.
Whatever the comparison shows when
figures are on paper, however actually the
United States navy is superior to that of
Spain, for we have on our side all the ele
ments that in the opinion of experts will
constitute superiority in the naval battle
of the future.
1t is not the number of ships or the
number of guns that will tell in the naval
battle of the future so much as the thick

ALFONSO XIII

No well-informed man doubts that war
s will mean a duel to the death between the
navy of the United States and that of
Spain. If Spain whips the United States
navy, as she thinks she can, then the
battle will be continued on land. If the
United States navy sends the Spanish
ships to join those of the great Armada at
the bottom of the sea, as our naval men are
confident they are able to, then there will
be no fighting on land. for without ships
Spain cannot, Of course. transport her
troops here.
The chief interest in the war towards
which we seem to be drifting revolves
around the navy, and comparison of the
fleets of this country and Of Spain is OF
paramount importance to enable one to
accurately forecast the result of Spano-
American conflict,
AS the two navies are constituted at
present, without taking into consideration
the vessels that comprise the reserve of
both countries. those that might be pur-

country or Spain, and the vessels that are

Number ..... II 8 80 "a IL 20
The caliber, as above, is in inches.
Assuming that the United States adopted
the most aggressive tactics at the outbreak
of war, the first act of this country would
be to seize Havana harbor, first sinking
the two Spanish war vessels there. The
capture of the defenses of Havana harbor
after that would not be difficult under
taking. If Havana were captured, upon
Spain would be thrown the obligation of
making counter move that would even
up matters or of acknowledging herself
beaten. throwing up the sponge and retir-
ing from the field as claimant of Cuba.
The United States could well afford to let
Spain make the next move after Havana
had been captured.
The United States fleet would be able to
turn its entire attention to meeting the
Spanish squadron, and could concentrate
quickly on any point that the squadron Of
swift cruisers sent out to reconnoitre the
Spanish fleet reported the hostile ships
were making for.
To give Spain the benefit of the doubt
regarding the outcome of an attack on
Havana, and admit that the harbor could
only be blockaded and not captured, the
opposing fleets at this point would be:
