IT is pretty well settled at the com
ing war with Spain will be fought prln-
cipally at sea, at least in its carrier
stages, and, in that case, tncrc is no
doubt that it will settle many questions
regarding modern guns ant Ships for
which the bcllgerent world ,as long
desired an answer; but, il inventor
Maximis correctly reported az predict
ing that ''it will prove the monitor type
superior to battle ships" even Lyman
can see that he is talking too fast. The
monitors may be and probably are better
for coast and harbor work, but the opin.
ion OF experts is unanimous that they
are Of little or no use at sea. The trutl
appears to be that every maritime nation
wants both kinds of fighters.
