THE SANTIAGO FLEET.

Cuba is a pretty big country, after
all. The West Indies was all America,
all Of the Western Hemisphere, to CO.
Iumbus Columbus, in discovering the
West Indies. announced that he had
discovered the western world. 1t is as
far from Havana to Santiago as it is
from Wichita to Chicago, with no rail-
road between them, and many noun
tain ranges intervening. Should Ha-
vana fall, Cuba would fall as whole,
logically because Havana is the cap
ital. but Santiago is important from a
stregetic viewpoint, and so it is all
right to capture il. Cervera can never
come out of the harbor Of Santiago
except as a prisoner or otherwise he
will prove himself a much greater man
than Sampson and Schley combined.
Still, the announcement Of yesterday
mornings dispatches that troops were
being landed in the vicinity of Santiago
is not satisfactory news. 1t is quite
reasonable to expect that the plan Of
campaign, if it contemplated the in
vestment of Santiago for strategic pur
poses, will be altered. Havana is the
objective point of our war, and if we
can take Havana without sending
troops to Santiago, that would seem to
be the reasonable line of attack to pur-
sue.
But wars are seldom fought along
natural or logical lines, and the author
tiles must be trusted to proceed as
they deem it best to proceed. The pos
session of Santiago may be essential
to aid our government in establishing
civil order in Cuba and to present to
the Cubans the kind of government
they will require. It is morally certain
that our fleet, with the Merrimac sunk
across the harbor of Santiago, has Ger
vera at it's mercy. With Cervera's
fleet captured, destroyed or surren-
dered, the enemy has no other fleet to
fall back on. The Cadiz squadron is
largely mythical. Only two of the war
ships comprising that squadron, the
Pelayo and the Neumancia, are avail
able for service, the others being di-
lapidated hulks. Spain has no navy
today. 1t may be desirable to take
Porto Rico to be held as a hostage
along with the Philippines, but that
we can do almost any time we please
without wasting life or money bang
ing away at unimportant ports in
Cuba. We command the situation alb
soluteIy from the sea. Spain cannot
dispute it even feebly

ADMIRED-HATED.

There is something admirable in the
courtesy, in the hereditary chivalry
which prompted Cervera to send word
to Sampson of the safety Of the brave
men who sunk the Merrimac. The
Spaniard has some admirable qualities
mixed up with his arrogance and cru
= city. Spain is truly the Don Quixote
among nations. picturesque and ro-
mantle. There is unquestionably that
admiration for the Spaniard among the
French and Italians that is entertained
by some people for the exploits of the
flibuster, the buccaneer and the gang
that holds up train. The struggle OF
the land of Cortez, Pizarro and the Cid
to retain the last remnant of their once
brilliant empire. Boosting as magnih-
Gently as they did in the reign Of
Charles, with the Bank Of Spain on the
verge Of bankruptcy, and their navy
rotting from lack Of funds. is the most
picturesque object lesson Of the nine
teenth century.
But the fercest battle Of this war, so
far as Spain is concerned, will not be
fought at Santiago or Havana, but at
the Bank Of Spain, which in daily
growing weaker. holds all that SPANS
crown and subjects hope for. Bonds
cannot be foated on braggadocio or
on glorious military traditions. The
money loaner the goldbug, the inter
national pawnbroker, is moved by none
Of these things. He wants undeniable
security and the cent per cent Of inter-
est And Spain must have money or
revolution, and the crown and people
alike are depending on that broken reed
the Bank of Spain, which has been
loaded down already with more than
it can stand under. The government
itself is a defaulter to the bank and
there is no more gold in the treasury.
The internal debt of Spain is now
1850, sos, 300 pesetas, bearing 4 per cent
interest. a peseta is little less than 20
cents, so the internal debt is already
$40, 161, $50, to which it is proposed to
add another 5000, ,OO0 The total debt
of Spain will reach nearly two billions
and is more than 800 per capita. With
the exception of France the per cap
tia debt is greater than is that of any
other European nation. That of the
United States is s1463. With the mill
stone Of debt about her neck, it is lit
tie wonder that Spain is dragged down
and that investors decline to extend a
helping hand.
Should Spain succeed in negotiating
loan for one billion pesetas, as de-
sired, the price of the present Spanish
tours would govern their maximum
value. This price is As per cent quoted
at the Madrid stock exchange. If the
issue which is now authorized could be
floated at this price its proceeds would
amount to 45o,OOO,OOO pesetas, of $780,
100000 in Spanish bank notes, which
at the present rate Of exchange would
scarcely bring 100000 in United
States currency, every dollar of which
is worth one hundred cents the world
over.

in the perilous business of war. It's
bad enough that modest and gentle wo-
men accompany the ambulance corps
to act as ministering angels to the
wounded and dying. But to permit a
woman to take a position as a war
correspondent, where she will be in
the way and where she is in peril of
being shot, is intolerable. The young
woman who threatens to do that sort
of thing ought to consider that she
owes some obligation to her sex and
that her example may be emulated by
others whose love of sensational no
toriety overbalances their innate mod
esty and common sense. In case she
does not change her mind, or forbear
from her purpose. the military author
tiles will probably put quietus on
her ambitious scheme. if for no other
purpose than to reject the leaven which
once introduced would work democrat
ization in the army.
