Is it not unfortunate that there has
been such waste of time before assum-
ing the offensive in Cuba? When war
was declared this was not contemplated.
1t was thought then that the Spanish
army was poor affair, unpaid, ill fed
and badly provided every way; and in
proof we could point to the fact that
Spain had not put down the insured.
ton, though endeavoring to for three
years.
Now, however, we are told that Spain
has large and a grand fighting army
in Cuba, and that our troops had better
look out. When the war was declared
it was thought that the Cuban insur-
gents would be assisted and encouraged
but instead of that they seem to be
snubbed-at least have not been en-
couraged and assisted as they might
have been.
1t was thought too, when war was de-
clared, that there would be severe fight.
ing at sea, as Spain had quite navy
and number of large cruisers. But the
engagement in Manila bay and the de-
struction of the entire Spanish fleet
without our side losing man, show
conclusively that Spain cannot meet us
on the sea, and the tactics Of Admiral
Cervera shows that he unders ands it.
Discretion is the better part of valor,"
and the Spanish admiral acted accord
ingly. The fact is, Spain is not prepar.
ed for war either on sea or land. She is
a poverty.stricken nation.

BALLOONING IT.

There is now talk, newspaper talk at
least, of sending up balloon with one
or more persons in it who can look
down upon Santiago harbor and report
thereon. 1t has been proposed before
this to drop some dynamite or torpedo
from balloon in such case.
Mr.. Holland also proposes to go into
the harbor with his plunge boat, that is
sail in below the surface, and blow up
the Spanish fleet if it is there. He can
raise or sink his boat at will, and stay
under water as long as he pleases, and
sail about. This Holland boat is quite a
new and unique arrangement. Spain
has not got it.
The balloon is probably to be pre-
ferred, as in that case, our aeronauts
could look down upon them and take a
flash photo possibly, that would give
the situation. The balloon is the thing.

The political cauldron in Greater New
York begins to boil and bubble. The
Republican Platt machine is aroused as
Mayor Van Wyck has removed from
office the chief Of police, Republican.
Charges against the mayor will be pre-.
ierred to the governor, Republican,
who has authority to suspend Van
Wyck pending enquiry. Van Wyck
and his friends ridicule the attempt as Q
mere game Of bluff to coerce the mayor
into complying with Platps demands.
Should the mayor be removed or sus,
pended from office on partisan charges
it will make him only more popular and
pave the way to future promotion.
General Tracey, who ran against him as
the Plstt machine candidate, is prepar-
ing the charges against Van Wyck.

BELIEVED IN MADRID,
Dispatch of Blanco Indicates That the
Spanish Fleet Remains In
Santiago Harbor.

MADRID, May 30.-It is now known
that nothing developed at the cabinet
council Sunday to make clear whether
Admiral Cervera's squadron is in San
tiago harbor or outside it, but General
Correa, the minister of war, announced
that he had received a dispatch from
General Blanco to the effect that IL
American warships were off Santiago
Saturday, but that most of them disap-
peared Sunday, going in westerly
direction.
General Blanco gives it to be under
stood that Admiral Cervera's squadron
remains in Santiago harbor.
The council decided to make large ad-
ditional purchases of war materials and
to prohibit the expectation of silver
coins.
1t is probable that the government,
on the representations of certain pow
ers, will declare sulphur contraband.
