A DEFENSIVE NAVY.

In the last issue of Harper's
Magazine Captain Mahan discusses
"Current Fallacies on Naval Sub
jects," and combats especially the
fallacy which finds expressin in the
oft-repeated assertion that the I'm
tied States needs a navy for de-
Tense only. In this assertion the
word "defense," as Captain Ma
han points out, is used in the sense
of protection to American coasts
and harbors from foreign attacks.
Captain Mahan would broaden
the meaning of the word, until it
includes defense of our just ma
tional interests, wherever they
are, and then he would be satls-
fed with the policy of a nation for
defense only.
Captain Mahan refers to the
principle universally accepted
among masters of military and
naval art that "mere defen sive
war ean military rum, and,
therefore, national disaster" and
then takes the next step in his
process of making it logically easy
for the ,partisans of the navy for
defense only policy to accept his
view. The most beneficial use of
military force, he observes, is not
to wage war, but to prevent war.
A navy maintained merely to de-
fend our coast line and incapable
of sallying forth to do harm would
be left quite out of the account in
diplomatic negotiations, and SO
would deter nobody from making
war on us.
The soundness of this view
has been well impressed upon
the people of this country by the
present war. The belief had
prevailed abroad up to the time
of the battle of Manila Bay that
the United States had no navy to
fear. hence Spain did not hest
tate 20 engage US in war.
However, this view has been
changed, and our navy is now
held in higher esteem than ever
before. The United States, the
great and growing country that
it is. cannot afford to lag behind
in the matter of a navy, and the
existing war has served the good
purpose of creating a sentiment
for a powerful navy capable of
serving for both defensive and
offensive purposes.

morning and reports him as say
ing that the government does not
know where it is going. that mo-
body in Spain can foresee the
out come of the situation, which
is much graver than is confessed,
that the ship of State is drifting,
the Cabinet unsolid, confusion,
complete, and serious complica-
tions pending; that the ministry
talks but never acts, and is abso-
lutely impotent, simply trusting
to chance to extricate the govern
menu from It's present troubles.
To the meantime, il the Plebiscite
were held, he is satisfied, every.
body, even the soldiery, would
vote for peace. That the queen
has been uniustly attacked by
CASTELAR,, who is already posing
for President of the Republic,
but has not the ability to insti-
gate the movement. What would
happen in the event.of the overs

that the Cape Verde feet has gone

WHEN WE FIND THE SPANS

With Dewey at Manila,
And Sampson out at sea,
And Schley at Santiago,
Kept busy as a bee,
Volunteers a pouring in
First call now complete
But the strategy board, says hold so,
Till we find the Spanish feet.
Soldiers at Chicamauga,
Soldiers at Tampa bay,
At Jacksonville and Mobile
All eager for the fray:
Drilling the boys in the sun,
At one ten Fahrenheite;
But no onward move to Cuba,
Till we find the Spanish feet.
Oyer every ship and camp,
Old Glory's proudly flying,
While reconcentrados by the score,
For lack of food, are dying;
But Miles, and Long, and Alger,
And the strategy board, all meet,
And say we can't relieve them,
Till we find the Spanish feet.
Better employ an aeronaut
To scan the sea across
Find the whereabouts of Cervera,
And report it to the boss;
Then in the dim, dim future,
:. When the starving is complete,
| We will move our troops on Cuba,
/ If not scared off by the feet.
They think they have found Cervera,
But it's mighty hard to tell,
But if we have him bottled up,
W. aught to give him shell.
But once we get him out the way,
Our plans wei soon complete:
The only thing that's caused delay,
Was to find the Spanish fleet.

By Telegraph to The Argus
New YORK, June 1.-THE Journals bulletins say
that Sampson has achieved a glorious victory at San
tago Ten American Warships fired on the forts yesterday
morning at 7:45 o'clock and continued until 1oo'clock,
firing 1900 shots.
The Notifications at Santiago are completely de-
'stroyed and many Spaniards killed. The guns of
Sampson have avenged the destruction of the Maine
and established American prestige on the seas. The
Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes was riddled with pro-
%jectiles and is reported sunk.
The Americans landed at Daigure and battled with
the ~Spaniards. The Spanish infantry and cavalry
were routed and several Of their generals killed. No
American losses reported.
A special from Cape Haytien to the World says it is
reported that the Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa was
sunk yesterday by Sampson
By oane to The Auus.
CAPE HAYT1EN, June While no details of the
fighting at Santiago have yet been received here, it is
believed, judging from the tone of the cablegrams
passing through here between Blanco, Pardo, Cervera
and Madrid, that Sampson has achieved a great vic
tory, inflicted considerable damage upon the Spanish
ships and silenced the land batteries.
The bonbardment is said to have lasted four hours,
and the biggest guns of the American fleet were used
to do the work.
The passing report, which is from a Spanish source
and addressed to Madrid, admits that the Spaniards
suffered a repulse at Aquadores by the American
forces, and that troops from Santiago are being hur-
ried to the seacoast to repel the landing Of the enemy,
f possible.
These frank admissions from the spaniards, who
are usually s~ecretiye and conservative, leaves no doubt
as to the great victory achieved by the American fleet.

"These are the indoor shoes of the
Chinaman. On the street here in the

the ways in which he is becoming

That, like the indoor shoe, is very thick
