! speaking last night before the National

! Preparations" said that there is great
danger of intervention by some other ma
! ton angered by our Monroe doctrine and
/ envious of our prosperity.
when this trouble began" he said. 'it
| is safe TO say that there were not more
/ than five rounds of ammunition for each
! available gun. This has been overcome
/ only to the measure that we can cope
! with Spain. who was in just as bad a fix.
millions of men do not make soldiers
/ in an instant. and millions of dollars cam
not make guns and ships in a short time.
1t takes from eighteen months to two
| years to build one of the big modern
guns. and almost as much time to get
its ammunition. You cannot get your
ships in a moments notice. and the mar
ket is not stocked with good material
either in ships or in guss and ammuni-
tion.'
''It Is the same way with the Army.
We cannot get out so many soldiers as
we think They must be trained.
'.In New York we are reasonably pro-
tected and with the guns, mortars and
mines now being put up we would be able
to feel fairly safe. The mines in our har-
bor can be reasoned to be dangerous to
the enemy by a consideration of the pic
lures shown us of the last moment Of the
Maine in Havana harbor-'
Captain Zalinski said he believed the
Maine was destroyed by Spanish officers.
