The immense floating dry dock fol
warships recently put in use by the
Spaniards at Havana proves that
such structures are to be considered
hereafter as an adjunct to modern
navies. This method Of docking q
ship is very simple. The dock is
nothing more than a box of wood OF
iron, sunk, and dragged Ter the
ship, which is TO be cared for. One
great advantage which the floating
dock has over all others is. il can &C.
commodate ships of any draught.
1t is only necessary to build the
walls Of the dock little higher and
the result is obtained. There is great
saving of time in making also. The
floating dock built for the Spanish
government was delivered at Havana
within eleven months from the date
on which it was contracted for.
Economy Of cost as well as time is a
factor TO be considered. The float
ing docks are much cheaper. As
there are no gates or ends to a float
ing dock; any size vessel can be &C.
commodated, the stem and stern
overhapging with safety to the degree
warranted by the strength of the
ships frame. With a floating dock
owned by the United States the wreck
OF the Maine could be raised, and the
hulks of the Cristobal Colon and
other Spanish ships could be saved,
and after repairing would make eff
cient additions to our navy.

SANTIAGO
BLUFFED.
Skaters Weakness Concealed
BY a Demand for Surrender
Serious Dispatches That
the Public Never Saw.
How Shafter Was Surprised 20 lr-
stead of Orders TO Retreat He
Was Instructed to ut Once
Demand Capitulation.

Washington, July 25.-lt is but
just beginning to be understood that
the surrender of Santiago was the re-
suit Of a big bluff successfully worked
on the Spaniards by the American
army. 1t appears now that on or
about July dispatches were received
at the department from Gen. Shafter
which declared that he had not near
ly enough troops to capture the city,
and that his line had become so thin
in many places as to necessitate a
retreat for four or five miles.
These dispatches were more serious
10 their character than the public has
vet been permitted 10 know, and they
created positive CONSERVATION at the
White house. The fourth Of july
was approaching, and it was feared
that a backward movement at that
time, however wise il might be, would
have bad effect upon the country.
In addition to that 1t seemed evident
from Skaters reports that II the
Spaniards understood the situation
they could break through the line at
several points and get into the rear
Of the American army. In this
emergency Gen. Miles was summoned
hurriedly to the white house and asked
for his opinion as to the best method
of concentrating Skaters army with
out resulting in too much Of back.
ward movement.
After considering the situation
carefully he astonished the president
and secretary of war by advising
that there be nc. concentration or re-
treat until ilrst.class Yankee bluff
had been tried and failed. He sug-
gested that Shafter should at once
demand the surrender Of the city,
and thus occupy the attention Of the
Spsniards, utilizing the time to hurry
forward the reinforcements. Gen.
Miles believed that after being sum-
moned to surrender the Spaniards
would at least take time for consider
alton and not attempt a sortie, be.
caused they would be deceived, by
the boldness OF the demand, into the
belief that Shafter was ready to at
tack the city'at once.
Gen. Miles advice was followed,
and Shafter was surprised to receive,

was turned into complete success
by the laundering Of Capt. Gen.

would have either had to withdraw
from his position or hold it at great
danger until he was ready to attack.
