any moment on land or sea IN a
hundred years. She has been un-
able, after three years of effort, to
mt down the ill-fed halfclad, poor
" armed bands of insurgents IN
Cuba. She cannot even suppress
revolt among the feeble folk OF the
Philippine Islands. She is more
than 5000 miles from Havana by
way of the Canary and Cape Verd
Islands.
2. She has no navy on this side
of the ocean. Her main feet is at
the Cape Verd Islands, $500 miles,
or twelve or fifteen days, distant.
The United States have two power
full squadrons, one within a few
hours OF Cuba, the other able to
reach Porto Rico in one-third the
time in which the Spanish feet
culd get there.
3. With Havana captured and
Porto Rico seized, Spain would
have no coal supply on this side o.
the ocean. Without coal her feet
would be as helpless as a sailing
ship without sails. Is it likely tha'
she would send her fleet across t(
certain capture or destruction!
