The Public Ledger at Nor
folk says Whether or not the
present war that is being waged
between Spain and the United
States will cause other nations
to become involved, can only
determined by time, but there
can be 10 doubt of one fact, and
that is going to have the effect
of greatly strengthening our
country as naval power. There
are at present five thousand
men employed upon naval prep
aration at the Brooklyn Navy
yard, more than two thousand
at the Navy yard on this station,
a large force at the Mare Island
Maynard, in the harbor Of San
Francisco and many other thou>
sands at private ship-yards in
different parts of the country
who are working on Uncle Sam S
vessels. On the whole it is
probable that twenty thousand
skilled mechanics are now en-
ployed in strengthening the
United States Navy, and the in>
dlcatlons are that this large force
will be employed for a consider
able period, as contracts will
soon be given out for the con-
struct1On Of the battleships, tori
pedo boats and torpedo boat des-
troyers that have been authorize
ed by the present Congress.
These new war vessels will be
built at private ship-yards, and
Will give employment to many
thousand WOrkmen, while other
thousands will be employed at
the Navy~yard to keep tie yes
sells Of the different fleets in a
servlCeable condition.
Then, too, the country has
learned that it is absolutely ne
Cessary, i'll order to properly
protect our extended sea coast,
that we should have a strong
navy. An army, by means of
the telegraph and telephone,
can be organized and equipped
within a brief space of time, but
the same is not true with the
creation Of a navy. A battle.
ship cannot be constructed in
less than a couple of years, con-
sequently considerable time will
be required to make our navy
what it should be, but the
work has been commenced, and
II the present temper Of the
country continues it is only a
question Of time when our naval
establishment will be placed
upon a footing commensurate
with the size of the nation.

American vessel, whose name is
not given, is said to have been

Commodore Dewey requested
the British Consul, Rawson
Walker, to convey message to
the Spanish Governor General
demanding the surrender of all
torpedos and guns. He also de
manded possession of the cable
offices, saying unless these terms
were complied with, he would
proceed to lombard the city.
The first cable message ends
with the statement that the
Spanish officials were comforting
with the British consul and the
telegraph company's agent and
pending a decision being arrived
at, the cable companies were
not allowed to handle any mes
sages. The second cable am
nounces that the Spanish Cow
ernor General had refused to
surrender torpedoes, guns and
cable offices, and that he pre-
vented the telegraph company S
