MADRID BEFORE MANILA

Correspondence Of the Associated Press }
Madrid, May 13.-Perfect quiet reigns in
the city, nothing whatever giving an in
dication that Spain is engaged in a war,
the outcome of which may be disastrous
TO the country. AS rule, the parliament
tary debates give a FLIP of excitement to
Madrid; but, as the papers point out, even
these now fail to raise the least enthu-
siasm. The whole attitude of the town is
one of expectation of news from the CEN
tiers of operation, or rather. up TO the pres
ent OF interpretations. That the news
which arrives will be of a Spanish vic
tory goes without saying-in Spanish
opinion no other result is possible. At the
present moment Madrid is expecting to
hear OF the American squadron attacking
has been sunk by the ships of Admiral
Montejo, who, in a laconic message, has
announced his intention Of meeting it at
the earliest possible moment. Admiral
Monteio has the reputation of being a
man of his word. Indeed, yesterday ru-
mors were afoat that the squadrons had
met; that two of th@ Spanish admiraTs
ships had rammed each other with fatal
results to both; that Admiral Montejo had
been rescued providentially, and that get
ting aboard another vessel had partici-
pated in the utter destruction of the
American squadron. three Of whose YES
sells had run up the red and yellow flag"
An inquisitive Spanish journalist asked
the colonial minister If the government
had received conhrmatEr of the rumors
He answered with that good old Arabic
exclamation. which has found its way
permanently into the Spanish language:
"Ogala" (would to Allah it were true),
but unfortunately had to admit that up
to the present no such good tidings had
reached the Spanish government

The st James Gazette publishes a
long editor ial pointing out the hope
lessness Of any further Spanish resis-
tance and suggests that the Americans
seek settlement of the Cuban ques-
ton in Spain. 1t says: "There is no
need of an invasion, but the mere
presence of on the coast of strong
armament, which the Spanish navy
could not drive off, would produce a
tremendous effect, and there are
numerous unfortifed anchorages
where the Americans could recoal
at leisure. OF course there are Powers
in Europe who would witness the
operation with great disgust. But if
the Americans are going to be fright
ened by vague abstraction called
Europe, they must be very timid.
Let them consult the srltan, and re-
member that England is their Russia
for the ii me being"

THE NTCARAGUAN CANAL.

This war with Spain will wake the
nation up to the need of a larger
navy, the improvements of our har.
Dor defences, better preparations for
equipping land forces on short notice,
and also for canal to connect the
Atlantic and the Pacific SO that the
navies on the Eastern and Western
coasts can be concentrated in shorter
time if necessary. Although Spain
would be no match for this country
equal that we cannot carry on the
aggressive warfare we would like to,
and a nation, whose resources are so
much inferior to ours that we should
have been able to easily and quickly
crush her SO that she would be obliged
to sue for peace,is making such head
way against us that the war will be
likely to continue for some time. Our
navy should have been large enough
so that we could have thrown an
army of invasion into Cuba without
fear that the presence Of a few of the
enemy's vessels would endanger the
safety Of the expedition. Our long
sea- coasts on the East and the West
navy for the defence Of both shores,
and in case Of war with some strong
foreign power, we will not be able to
send the vessels from one shore to
the other around the southern point
of South America and have them ar
rive in time to be of much service.
Unless we are to maintain very large
navy we should be able to concentrate
both the Eastern and Western fleets
in short time in order to carry on
successful war. With the contem-
plated Nicaragua Canal completed
and under the trontrol Of this coun-
try we should be able to do this. The
trip which the Oregon made would
have been but comparatively short
one if such a canal had been in exist
ence, and there would have been but
little chance for the enemy to have
engaged her in battle until she had
reached an American fleet where she
could have met them on equal terms.
1t seems to us that Congress should
take this matter up as soon as possi-
bic for the country should not be al
lowed to remain in a condition where,
in war with a great European pow
er, we would be badly worsted until
we could prepare the defences which
should be prepared in time Of peace.
