The wisdom of Admiral Sampson in
not using his ships in trying to take
Porto Rico, is clear enough now. The
remarkable immunity of our fleet at
Manila has served to create an impress
sion that Spanish gunnery is SO bad and
Spanish guns SO old fashioned that we
can pat our ships at any time under
the enemy's Notifications without any
considerable risk of injury. But that is
not the case. Our ships could probably
have battered down the San Juan forti-
fcatioas and silenced their guns, but the
chances are that before these things had
been accomplished several of our ships
would have been seriously injured, and
needed extensive repairs before they
could have been used again. We have
SO few available ships that we cannot
afford to risk any of them except in a
contest that is likely to be decisive. The
capture of San Juan would have awaited
little in any event, and If it had been at
the expense of the loss or disabling of
several vessels of our feet 1t would have
put us at grave disadvantage in view
of the appearance of the powerful Cape
Verde feet. After we have disposed of
the Spanish feet we may take chances
under Spanish land Notifications, but
while that is upon the sea and in effec.
tive condition it would be exceedingly
unwise to do SO, for the crippling of sew
eral of our ships might lead to
Dur own defeat in a decisive naval en-
gagement. A defeated army can be rein
forced in short time, and the lost ground
recovered, but to replace destroyed navy
requires years.

question is whether Simpsons feet or
sschley S, or both, will tie able to pen up
the Cape Verde feet and compel it to
fight. OF course the Spanish admiral
knows the strength and number Of the
American ships nearly as well as his own.
He is aware probably that he would be
outclsssed greatly by SIMPSONS and
equalled at least by Schley's. The prob
ability is, therefore. that he will endeavor
or of them. This he may be able to do
because of the greatly superior speed of
his fleet, even if he should proceed to
the coast of Cuba. To coop up fleet of
the speed of the Cape Verde squadron in
SO wide an expanse as the Caribbean sea
the pursuing fleets are much slower. If
it should be cut off it might. rather
than risk fight run into some Cuban
port such as Santiago or Cienfuegos on
the south side, or Havana on the north.
But in either of these ports 1t could be
effectively bottled up and rendered of
little use to Spain.
But though when last seen it appeared
to be steaining in the direction of Cuba
it by no mems follows that there Is
where it intends to go. After obtaining
coal at Caracoa, which two of it's ships
| were reported ito be doing yesterday, 1t
may alter it's course and proceed east along
the South American coast with the hope
of intercepting the Oregon. Even if the
original intention were to proceed to
Cuba it may be changed in view of the
fact that its presence has been discovered
and its chances of surprising our block
aiding fleet practically destroyed. Know
ing, as it probably does by this time. that
our heavy squadrons are after it. and that
by making for the Cuban coast it would
risk much and could accomplish little OF
real value for Spain in any event, it may
change its purpose and go in pursuit Of
the Oregon. 1t is devoutly to be wished
that it may assume the offensive and at
tack Simpsons or Schley's squadrons,
but the probabilities are vasely against

New Orleans, May 15.-The amateur

THE CAPE VERDE FLEET.

The last seen of the Cape Verde fest it
was one hundred miles off the coast of
Venezuela in the vicinity ofathe Dutch
Island of Curacao, steaming westward.
In that direction lies Cuba, and it Is a
natural inference from the course which
the feet has taken that its purpose
may be to attack our blockading vessels
on the coast of Cuba. and destroy them
before our heavy ships can come to their
assistance. None Of our vessels now on
the blockade would stand any chance in
fight with this fleet, or any member Of
it, for all it's vessels are very heavily
aImored, while ours are either very light
any of our vessels escape from the Span
ish feet after it, hove in sight, for they
are all, or nearly sill, much slower. Had
the Spanish feet not put in at Martinique
and been reported, that is to say
if it had coal enough to continue its voy-
age to Cuba without re-coaling, it might
have swept the Cuban coast clean of
our vessels before SIMPSONS fleet could
possibly have got back or Schley's feet
got into the Caribbean sea. Our dis
eovery that it had arrived in the French
West Indies was an exceedingly lucky
one, for before it can get to Cuba we
shall probably have had time enough to
WAN all our blockading vessels on both
sides of the island that it is coming so
thai they can get out of the way.

The Spanish cabinet, which has been
lettering for several weeks past, col
lapsed yesterday, and Senior Sagasta was
commissioned by the Queen Regent to
form a new one. The collapse was due
to the unpopularity Of Admiral Bermejo,
the minister Of marine, whom the pub
lie and the Cortes have inclined to hold
responsible for the Manila disaster. Senior
Moret, minister. OF agriculture, whose
automatist views were distasteful, and
Gen. Correo, minister of war. 1t is safe
to say that the new cabinet will contain
none of these gentlemen.
