After England. Spain is perhaps bet

any other nation of Europe. Along
the road to India she has Teneriffe. i'm
the Canary islands, and Fernando Pc.
off Guinea, and these. with her West
Indian and Philippine possessions. give
her bases in the most important parts
of the world. Their usefulness was lost
to Spain because they We're not prop
erly fortified. Sagua, Cardenas, SAN
tiago and Cienfuegos, in Cuba,
are coaling ports of the first grade. and
so are San IA and Ponce in Porto
Rico.
France is very short OF stations, and
Ii Is difficult To see how she ear act

exception of Algiers. in the Mediterra-
neal Port of France. I'm Martinique, is
her only station of Importance. 1t is
one of the best defended harbor in the
Americas. and 1t is a first-class coaling,
docking and repairing station. Even
engines for warships are built at its
shops. The n~eighboring islands of
Guadaloupe and St. Pierre, off New
foundland. are not of much account as
stations, for only a few adj tons
of coal can be obtained at either island
at one time. Nossi Be. a little island

Portugal is well supplied with coaling
stations. particularly along the west
coast of Africa. Besides the Cape
Verde Islands, h has the important
station at Funchal. i'm Madeira. Moz-
antique and Delagoa Bay, on the east
coast of Africa, are situated to COM
mand the Indian Ocean and its high
ways. At either place a large fleet can
AXE coal at any time.
Her other numerous. stations, being I'M
defended, would probably be a greater
convenience TO her opponents than to
Portugal. They are mostly of the third
class of coaling stations.
OF course the shores of all the conti-
nents are studded with coaling stations
Which are home ports of Independent ma
tions. These ports would be an important
consideration i'm a universal naval war.
China has a number of useful coaling
stations and Port Arthur is a irst-class
naval base. So are Yokohama and Nay
ask in Japan. Bangkok in Siam Is well
equipped as a base of the second rating.
C~onstantinople has large dock yards and

countries have well-equipped naval sta

no docking or repairing facilities at any

The important South American stations
are Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Valparaiso

and st. Malo in France; Kronstadt and
Sebastopol in Russia: Pola and Trieste in
Austria: Venice, Genoa and Leghorn in
Italy: Stockholm and Copenhagen in Swe-
den and Denmark. and Amsterdam I'm the
Netherlands. There are no first-class sta
tons i'm Portugal.
Nearly all of the seaports of Great
Britain are naval stations and there are
enormous works at Grimsby.
SPANS chief naval bases are Cadiz.
Carthagena and Ferrol. Ferrol Is the ar
senal of Spain, and is considered impreg-
nable.
All the coast cities in the United States
are coaling stations as a raatter of course.
Boston. Philadelphia, New FORK. San
Francisco and Seattle are the only cities
furnishing first-class dockage and repairs.
Hawaii would be very useful to us just

fortified naval base. On paper Spain has
a great advantage over us in naval sta
