AFTER sAMr1Aeo. WHAT

The st. James Gazette says that az
ter Santiago and Porto Rico the most
powerful of the American fleets should
sail for the Strait of Gibraltar and face
Spain at home That such a course
would make all continental Europe
squirm, the Gazette admits, but adds:
What could they do about it?" We
are at war with Spain, and that in
cludes the right to fight her anywhere
If Sampson and Schley should ap-
pear off Vica, Majorca or Minorca some
fine morning soon, or lined up in front
of Cadiz, who is there to say nay, save
the commanders Of the old Spanish
tubs lying in that harbor too decrepit
TO venture out to sea? After Santiago,
which with Cervera's fleet must fall
into our hands, and soon, there will
have to come something else. Some
one in this connection is liable to break
in with the observation: Whats the
matter with taking Havana" That
would be like the old wonder Of why
Mcclellan wouldn't move away from
the Potomac. We don't seem to want
Havana. No effort has so far been
made to annoy Blanco's city other than
to blockade his rations, and that not
very effectually. With the fall of Ha-
vana would go Cuba, and with Cuba
the surrender Of Spain, and only few
islands and little glory won, and that
little all held by Dewey and HObson.
Therefore the London papers may be
right in advising the transference Of
one or two of our fleets to European
waters. There would be both glory and
a sensation in the movement, and also
the realization upon the part Of the
continental powers that there is a new
hand in the deal, a big hand holding
not only trumps, but the joker also.
