With the departure of the Spanish
flotilla from the Cape Verde islands,
it is impossible to tell where it might
eventually turn up. It might sail in
a southwesterly direction and engage
the Oregon and Marietta off the Bra.
lillian coast. Again, it might strike
across the Atlantic and attempt to
break the blockade established at
Havana, and, third, it might make a
dash for some of the northern coast
cities. 1t is this third contingency
which the navy department fears, and
to cross that prospective track of the
Spanish flotilla is the purpose of the
Minneapolis and Columbia.
1t would not be unreasonable for the
Spanish to strike at the American
coast while most of our vessels are
massed about Havana. Whether it
will be serious assault or feint for
the purpose of withdrawing some of
Simpsons fleet to the northern waters,
thereby weakening our fleet in Cuban
waters, is question.
In the latter case, it is assumed that
the vessels attacking the northern coast
towns would be comparatively few in
number, while the majority of the
Spanish vessels would proceed to Cuban
waters, ready 10 take advantage of any
weakening in the American fleet there.
That Spain intends to break the block
ade if she can do so is conceded by ma
val experts. There is a well-defined
notion in the war department that the
Spanish navy will not wait without
action the military occupation of Cuba.
With our blockade broken, our opera
lions on land could not be thoroughly
effective.
The navy department, therefore, is in
state of anxious suspense; even the news
from our confidential agents may be ruse
purposely advanced by the Spanish, and in
this connection it may be stated that sew
eral OF our secret agents abroad have been
found untrustworthy.
All that possibly can be done, is to throw
put line of scouts from one end of the
American coast to the other, and at the
First appearance Of Spanish craft bring the
news ashore.
