1t is to be feared that the invasion of
is not going to be the holiday parade that
some of our enthusiastic war Senators
and Representatives were won't to predict,
when they were firing the hearts of the
galleries. No doubt, eventually. we shall
take Havana, but before it is accom-
lives will be lost and much time con-
stunned. Unquestionably much pressure
is being put upon the President to
order on immediate movement by the
army, and it is to be feared that it may
be sufficient to put our troops in motion
before they are fully ready and while the
conditions for an aggressive movement
are not of the best There is a danger too,
that the difficulties we have got to over
come before we capture Havana may be
underest mated. With 5000 men drawn
off front the army for the Philippines ex-
petition we shall not be able to send more
than 10000 men to Cuba at the outside,
and in all probability 1000 will be the
maximum number that we can get
there. If the campaign covers month,
and it is likely to cover several, good
many Of these men will be stricken down
by disease and the number of effective
troops constantly diminish. How large
a force the Spaniards can muster is not
definitely known, but it certainly ex-
ceeds 100. 600 in number and very likely
closely approximates to 900, 900. A good
deal of it will be volunteers who
have seen no service, but the same can be
said of our army. They will have the
great advantage over our troops of being
acclimated and they will fight behind de-
fences. 1t is impossible to calmly look
at the facts Of the situation without
coming to the conclusion that we have a
serious task before us in Cuba, and that
our preparations for its performance cam
not be too carefully made nor upon too
large scale. Better have twice the num-
Der Of troops needed, than fall short.
Better delay month and be fully pre-
pared than yield to clamor, and move be-
fore we are really ready. Everybody
wants the war brought speedily to an
end, but to strike with an insufficient
force or one not fully prepared is sure to
postpone the end.

NEW BICYCLE SKIRTS.

cut so as to look we'll both on and off the

they could not form the slightest idea
Spain has one feet besides the one in the
Caribbean Sea, but the proof is conclu.
sive that that fleet was at Cadiz only a
few days ago, and had it sailed, of which
there is no evidence, it is utterly impos-
sfble for it to have been where these ships
are said to have been seen. The prob
ability is that the vessels seen off Halifax
were merchant vessels If they were war
ships it is much more likely that they
were English than Spanish. 1t is not
perhaps unlikely that Spain may try
to take advantage of tho absence of our
squadron in the Caribbean Sea to send
her Cadiz feet over here to attempt raids
upon our coast. But it is very certain
that it is not here now and cannot be for
some time to come. That the Sraniards
have some such scheme in their
heads is a natural inference from the fact
that they have been trying to obtain and,
according to the Montreal Star, have OBJ

Gen. Tracy, who was Secretary of the
Navy under President Harrison, says
Congress ought Immediately to author

or larger. He points out that the types
of ships of which our navy is chiefly
composed were selected on the assumption
that the principal work of our vessels
would be defending our coasts and de-
stroying the enemy's commerce. Hence
the powerful, but slow, battleships and
monitors, and the swift, but non fighting
cruisers, like the Minneapolis and Colum-
bia. But the war we have now on our
hands is an offensive one, and the enc
my has few merchant vessels to destroy,
We ought to be able to pursue and over
take the enemy's feet, but this we can
not do because it is composed
principally of the armored cruiser type,
which yields much greater speed than the
battleship type. and is too formidable a
fighting machine for our protected cruis-
ers to cope with. 1t is clear to anybody
that the lack of swift armored cruisers
is proving serious handicap to us In our
operations in the Caribbean Sea, and 1t
is to be feared that this deficiency may
save the Spanish feet from capture or de-
struction.

The report Of the arrival of the Spanish
feet at Santiago de Cuba comes from
Madrid, ana is therefore to be recei ved
with caution. But there are somess facts
that tend to corroborate it. Santiago is on
the south coast Of Cuba, we'll to the east
ern extremity, and is the nearest Cuban
port to Martinique. 1t would therefore
be the easiest port for the fleet to get to.
Furthermore, it was reported yesterday
morning that a fleet evidently of war
vessels, had been seen the day before of
Point Morant, Jamaica, going swiftly in
the direction Of Santiago. If the fleet
has gone into Santiago it would seem
possible for our fleets to bottle it up there
and perhaps attack it in the harbor and
destroy it.

The Archbishop of Manila has issued a
pastoral which is much in line with
the manifesto put forth by Captain Gen.
eral Augusti before Admiral Dewey s
feet arrived in front of Cavite. His
highness alludes to the Americans as
heretics who are coming to the island to
overthrow the sacraments of baptism
and Inatrimony, and set up Protestant
chapels all over the island. The Arch
bishops effusion reads like some relic of
the Middle Ages. and the fact that it is
put forth to stir up the Spaniards to a
desperate resistance shows what thor
