Washington, May 3-An open. freely
expressed opinion by naval officers is
that the decisive victory OF Admiral
Dewey's fleet will mean an early end
Importance. The American feet, il is
suggested. is now supreme in the wa
tiers of Spain's Pacific possession. and
indications We're strongly towards the
slipping of the Philippines from her
control.
1t was said that only by quickly
yielding to our demands in Cuba could
this loss possibly be averted. Spain. it
was argued, was confronted with Il
situation which promised naught save
disaster in case she elected 10 force
more fighting. The superiority of a
superior fleet has been demonstrated
in the Pacific, and the same, il is con
tended, would be inevitable in the At
lantic in case the clash comes. From
whatever point of view considered,
the policy of more fighting upon the
part OF Spain promises nothing but
more Spanish misfortune. Navy Of
hcers say this must prevail with the
Spanish government and believe that
an end of war, upon the basis OF Gu
ban independence, is to follow soon.

that trouble of a most critical kind

pointed out hat the Spanish people
have been led to believe that their
navy invincible and the bitter disap-
pointment that will ensue over the re-
suit OF the first engagement IL likely %
~precipitate internal d~issension if not
a revolution.
Another result Of Admiral Dewey's
victory, ii is thought, may be action on
the part OF the powers to induce Spain
TO abandon what is regarded as a hope
less contest for her. Representations
may be made to Spain that she would
better %relinquish her hold upon Cuba
than to risk losing all of her West IN
dian possessions and the Philippines
as well. 1t is believed to be not I'M
likely that the representations will in
dictate that. since Spanish honor has
been satisfied by a conflict. Spain can
