Tint Cndiz Elect.

The arrival of the Cadiz fleet at the en-
trance of the Suez canal is no reason why
we should send a squadron of warships to
the coast of Spain. From all accounts it
is not in fit condition to do harm any
where. 1t hasn't any coal, and the indi-
cations are that 1t will not be able to get
any at Port Said to enable it TO proceed
on its journey. II is also reported that
it hasn't the money necessary to pay the
canal toll The amount is $250,0O0.
The Cadz fleet, ostensibly, started for
the Philippines. Nobody outside of Spain
believed that it had any intention of go
now believes that ii has any intention of
going where it would likely meet vessels
of the American navy.
Why it left Spain is a matter of specu-
lation. One reason offered is that 1t had
to pretend to go somewhere in order to
satisfy public opinion in Spain. 1t would
have been folly for il to have started to
Porto Rico or Cuba, because it would have
met the fate which Admiral Cervera's feet
is soon to meet. Therefore it was given
out that It was going to the Philippines.
We shall have pretty strong squadron
at Manila before the Cadiz fleet could sets
. there A powerful monitor and a pro-
tected cruiser win be added to the number
of vessels which Admiral Dewey already
has In fact, it is probable that the
cruiser Charleston has arrived at Man
LA, and 1t cannot be many days be-
fore the monitor Monterey will arrive
there The Monterey, unaided, could cas-
ily handle the whole Cadiz feet. What
folly, then, it would be for that fleet to
go to Manila! Ii would be practically
without coal when il arrived there, and,
hence would be helpless.
No, the fact that the Cadiz fleet is at
Port Said is no reason why We should
send a squadron to Spain. There may be
and doubtless are other reasons for max
ing a naval demonstration on the Span
ish coast. One of them is that the APP
pearance of American warships in the vi
entity of Spanish ports would inform the
Spaniards what they might expect if they
insist upon continuing the war. An object
lesson, such as the appearance of power
full American battleships at Cadiz for in
stance, would be, would do more to con-
vince the Spaniards of the necessity of
asking for peace than an American VIC
tory in Cuba. But the Cadiz fleet-well
that is hardly to be taken seriously.

Tomorrow will be the day of doom for
untagged dogs in Atlanta. The tag. which
amounts to a tax receipt. costs $1.25, and
it appears that in the whole city of 100000
population, more or less, there are only
two or three hundred dogs whose owners
value them at as much as the price of
the tag. The probabilities are that there
is at least one dog to each four human
beings in Atlanta. as there is in Savan-
nah and other Southern cities. II appears.
therefore, that Atlanta win have a lot of
dog killing to do. 1t was the intention of
