PhGET'S REPORT.
Cervera's Dash Cannot he Justified by
Naval Standards.

Washington. Sept. 21.-Capt. Alfred
Paget, British naval attache assigned
to observe operations during the recent
campaign in the West Indies. is en-
gagged here in assembling the large mass
of material gathered in Cuba. and in
experimenting this with the official
data now being supplied by the navy
department.
Captain Paget's report will devote
much attention to the destruction OF
Admiral Cervera's fleet, as this was the
main naval incident of the war. He is
securing from the navy department
complete reports Of the gunnery of the
American ships, with a view of showing
the Importance of THE man behind the
gun"
Captain Paset's personal view is that
Admiral Cervera's sortie was a most
foolhardy venture, which cannot be jus
tilted by naval standards, even though
ordered by the admiral's superiors.
