SPANISH NAVAL STRATEGY.

There are Indications that the Wash
ington authorities have information re-
gardlng the movements of the Spanish
| ileet lately stationed at Cape Verde
| Islands, not communicated to the gen.
| oral public. When last seen 1t was
steering west, and the presumption was
that 1t would turn up either at Porto
Rico or off the coast OF Brazil to head
off the Oregon and Its consort, the
Marietta. Several days before the de-
parture the Spanish minister Of marine
announced that It's destiny was to en-
gage the blockading squadron. but this
announcement was accepted as con-
elusive evidence that nothing OF the
kind was contemplated.
In this connection It Is Interesting to
review the strategic movements so far
of the formidable Spanish fleet. Before
war was declared the squadron that
has now disappeared was sent out from
Cadlz, presumably for the purpose OF
defending Porto Rico and Cuba. But
instead Of going west It went SOUTH
ana turned up ut Cape Verde islands,
where 1t was anchored until the neu-
trality proclamation Of Portugal drove
them out. But previous to the depar-
ture 1t was reinforced by the two
cruisers that fled from Cuba when most
needed to defend the ports of that
island.
Another Formidable naval force was
reported as having left cadlz for the
purpose of blowing up schley's squad
ron and then lombard our Atlantic
coast cities. But this enemy, when last
heard Of, was on the lookout for Amer
lean merchant vessels in the Medlter-
ranean and the English channel. Sim
liar tactics have been in evidence in
the Pacific. Admiral Montejo. 1t was
announced in Madrid had gone forth
to meet Commodore Dewey in order TO
prevent him from coming near Manila,
but it subsequently developed that the
daring Spanish commander. instead OF
going out to meet the enemy, sneaked
into the harbor and sought protection
behind the guns of the forts, trusting
that submarine mines would work dis
aster.
Judging from all this, It would be n
surprise to learn that any Spanish
naval force is steeriHg westward The
probability is that the Cape Verde 40
ulla may DE at he Canary Islands, OF
perhaps on the way back TO Cadiz. |

An encouraging word came almost
directly from the white House on
Thursday. II was to the effect that
In about two days Porto Rico would
be under the control of the United
States. The time sepns rather short
for such n vast contamination. but SO

likely TO be lost by haste.
Porto Rico Is the most easteriy island
of the Greater Antilles. IT is situated
at what might be termed the elbow Of
n group extending from Cuba easterly
some 1000 miles, the continuation of
the group being southerly and ending
at the island nf Trinidad, of tho north
western coast of South America. 1t
Is 165 miles long at its longest part
and Is about forty miles In width, the
total square mileage being $500. Its
population Is not definitely known, but
probably equals 100000. A great num-
Der of navlgabe lagoons appear on
the northern coast, and at certain
times of the year most of the rivers
emptying into the sea are navigable.
A range of mountains runs though
Porto Rico from east to west, the mean
height OF which Is about 1900 feet, but
there is one peak s,67s feet high, Ex-
tensive plains are to be found In the
interior and there are tracts OF fertile
land from three to ten miles in width
nlong the coast. The soil is very fer
tile, the yield of sugar being greater
to given number of acres than in any
other part of the Antilles. The miner
ais found are gold. silver, copper and
large quantities OF salt.
The island was discovered by Column
bus In 1893, and taken possession OF by
Spain in 1903. Somewhat In accordance
with Spanish usage In late years, and
decidedly In line with Its policy during
most of the intervening time, the pol
Icy Of determination was adopted, and
In a few years the natives had all sue
cumbcd to the murders. prosecutions
nnd vile practices to which they were
subjected by the Invaders.
The capital is San Juan. containing
probably $4,000 people. IT is situated
on an islet of the northeastern coast,
and Is connected with the mainland
varlously. II is n strongly fortified
place. and has been four times at
tackled by Great Britain, only one OF
the assaults proving successful. These
were some time ago, and while the
are relatively weaker now
than then, 1t must also be remembered
that no such engines OF destruction
were IN existence in those days as will
now be brought TO bear upon the de-
lenses OF the Porto Rican capital. Its
capture Is not counted upon as
greatly dlHicult undertaking. but un-
1t will resist to the last.

Some months ago the News" hap
pened to have the following paragraph:
THE English Almanac known as Old
Moore's contains forecasts OF grave
disasters to take place this year.
Troubles shall envelop the nations as
a garment. Crowns shall fall and In
some instances heads with them In
ihe month OF May, It Is said. two of
the great powers shall come into col
lision, and during the summer there are
to be sangulnary contests between the
races In the United States. During
August the atmosphere is to be filed
with death. Riots In London and the
sudden death of the czar are to be
looked for during that month. Still
more wonderful events are to take
place in November. At that time the
nection Is to be established between the
earth and the planet Mars"
One of these forecasts has come true,
The month of May has seen two great
nations in conflict, and there is a prob

The question whether the battle OF
Manila was fought on Saturday. Sun
day or Monday, according to our time,
does not seem to be clear to some who
have paid attention to the question.
The point to remember ls that. taking
the longitude of Greenwich as the
starting line, that is not the beginning
but central point for the measurement
OF time. Manila lies In about 100 de-
grees east longitude and its time Is
about eight hours faster than the
Greenwich time. The battle occurred
on Sunday morning. and the news of
n came by way of Europe, where the
date was translated into Greenwich
time.
