TAUGHT A LESSON.
The United States Must Have More Ar
mored Cruisers.

Washington, May 23.-As a result of
the maneuvering executed by the
Spanish fleet under the command of
Admiral Cervera, naval constructors
will give the armored cruiser a perma-
nent place in types of future cruisers
The lesson taught up to this time by
the warships of the Spanish squadron
in the opinion of experts since Admiral
Cerveras speedy squadron arrived 10
days ago at Martinique will prove
wholesome. II marks the downfall of
the theory so strongly advocated by
Captain Goodrich, now in command Of
the Yale, and formerly professor of the
naval war college. that the armored
cruiser has no place in modern navies
Captain Goodrich is now probably
convinced of the value of armored
cruisers" said a prominent naval Of
fcer, in view of the fact, as COM
manding officer Of the Yale. he has
been scouting for the enemys fleet
since a few days before its arrival at
Martinique. The armored cruiser is
nothing more than a swift sea going
battleship. japan recognized this fact
and was the only nation that was
quick to take advantage of such rec
ognition. Her lesson was learned at
Yalu, where her protected cruisers
with great speed and equipped with
rapid-fire guns gained a victory over
ships of slow speed and thick armor.
That the lesson was well learned is
shown by the fact that Japan immed-
lately placed contracts with the Arm
strongs in England for the construction
of six battleships of great speed. In
order 10 get the speed desired. Is knots

ment. AS a matter OF fact. Italy prob
ably is the maritime power of all others
Win which the United States has had
absolutely no correspondence i'm the
slightest degree connected with the Gu
ban blockade. AS to the allegation that
tks blockade is ineffective. IL is said
that, on the contrary, IL has been sim
gularly successful. and that so far as
known not a single neutral ship sub
ject to detention has passed the lines
without the express consent of our gov
ernment. The Montzerrat it is true.
did enter Cienfuegos harbor before our
ships had time to get around to the
south side of Cuba and establish the
blockade. and she did manage to get out
at night. But she is a Spanish ship.
and Spain is perhaps the only nation in
the world that has lost the power TO
protest against a blockade, being a COM
batant herself. 1t is only for neutral
powers to enter such protests. and none
of them has yet the slightest pretext for
such action.
With the beginning of the present
week all Spanish vessels in the United
States which sailed after the outbreak
of war are subject to seizure, as well
as all Spanish merchantmen found on
the high seas. save where they left
port for the United States before April
81 last. The presidents proclamation
of war allowed such ships lying in our
ports, or bound for them, 30 days i'm
which to discharge their cargo and also
ensure them safe passage home. That
period of time expired Saturday night.
This. it is expected. will tend to free
the state department from complica-
tions.
Under the energetic management of
Captain Bartlett, who was recalled
from the retired list into the active
service of the navy department for the
purpose. there has just been perfected
a most admirable and thorough system
of coast signaling for war purposes.
The navy department itself established
80 stations on the coast. manned by
naval militiamen. Then IL called into
service 1,060 lighthouse employees and
1000 lifesaving men, making a total
force of over 5000 men, who patrol the
great shore line from Bar Harbor to
Galveston, night and day and in all
weathers, watching for the approach
of an enemy or for a signal from any
passing United States warship. 1t has
been arranged that all of these watch
ers can communicate in the course OF
a few minutes with,s telegraph or tele-
phone line. and all center in the office
of Captain Bartlett in the navy depart
ment, who is thus prepared to give the
war board instant notice of any signi-
ficant ship movements on the coast.
1t is said at the navy department that
ii will be at least five days before the
Monterey can be started on her long
voyage from San Francisco to Manila,
the delay being on account of the prep
arations that must be made for the
very exceptional service required of
the vessel.

their trials the Yashima and Full de

respectively.
These vessels are really the perfec-
tion of the armored cruiser type. What
would we now give for such vessels un-
der the command of Rear Admiral
Sampson? Two of them. with the New
York and Brooklyn, would be able to
destroy or drive away Admiral Ger
vera's squadron. This government.
when building the Iowa. obtained a
type in some respects similar 10 the
armored cruiser. but her speed is only
16 knots. and under present conditions
is probably but 13 or IA.
Since the war began we have been
using vessels for purposes for which
their types unsuited them. For in
stance. the Indiana and Massachusetts,
were coast defense battleships. Yet
they have been sent TO sea cruising for
the enemy, when they were really in

Then. we have been employing har-
Dor defense monitors for blockadins
purposes and for offensive warfare. the
result being to cripple the maneuvering
quality of our fleet and handicapping
Rear Admiral Sampson early in his

Our shipbuilding policy has been all
wrong. The country has gone on the
theory that defensive navy was all
that is necessary. The present war
teaches that an offensive navy is abso-
lutely required.
The necessity of target practice in
time of peace is apparent when we
think of the firing of the
Spaniards at Manila, at Ma
tanzas and San Juan at the Ameri-
can sQuadrons. We knew before the
war began the desirability of employ
ing smokeless powder, but unfortu-
nately congress failed to make the
necessary appropriation when il was
raised several years ago. and the de-
partmen. had to fall back on brown
powder.
Il think that congress will agree
that docks are a necessity at this time.
Although none of the battleships are
capable of greater speed than Is knots
per hour. under present conditions
they cannot steam at a greater rate of
speed than II or 13 knots. The divers
who have been sent down to Key West
from Norfolk will be able to scrape the
propellers clean and thus increase the
speed of the ships. but they will not
remove the barnacles off the bottom of
the ships to any great extent. for IL is
impossible TO do good work under

AT TAM PA.
Regulars and Volunteers Are Ready to

New York, May ga dispatch to the
Times from Tampa, Fla, says: The
army here has grown to considera BILE
proportions during the past week With
in the military district of Tampa there

who are not equipped can be furnished
with uniforms and supplies at once. The
End Georgia entered the service without
uniforms General Shafter said there
are sufficient supplies here. and the
Georgia troops will be fully equipped

denied a report that the transports at
Tampa are not ready. and that il would
take at least a week TO get them in

that all Of the IL ships that have been
